¶ VPS Apps
¶ Dockge
I sometimes use Dockge to manage and control my containers a bit easier than strictly in the terminal, I don't really have much inside of Dockge besides a couple of apps.
- Make directories
sudo mkdir -p /opt/stacks
cd /opt/stacks
- Download compose file
sudo curl "https://dockge.kuma.pet/compose.yaml?port=5001&stacksPath=%2Fopt%2Fstacks" --output compose.yaml
- Start dockge
pwd # Confirm we are inside of /opt/stacks
sudo docker compose up -d
- Create a local resource inside of Pangolin
Site: local
address: http://172.17.0.1
port: 5001

¶ Uptime-Kuma
You can use Uptime Kuma to easily monitor some services, you can set it up with SMS, Discord Webhooks and other methods to notify you if there is any outage / connectivity issues.
- Create a new compose in Dockge
Compose File
services:
uptime-kuma:
image: louislam/uptime-kuma:2
container_name: uptime-kuma
restart: always
ports:
- "3001:3001" # This maps the container port "3001" to the host port "3001"
volumes:
- /path/to/data:/app/data # Configuring persistent storage
environment:
- TZ=UTC # Set the timezone (change to your preferred local timezone so monitoring times are the same)
- UMASK=0022 # Set your file permissions manually
networks:
- kuma_network # add your own custom network config
healthcheck:
test: ["CMD", "curl", "-f", "http://localhost:3001"]

¶ Wiki.js
Wiki.js is a powerful software, I use it for this wiki actually!! However, I don't have it deployed on a VPS. There are a lot of advantages to hosting it on a VPS though, if your local network goes down your Wiki page doesn't drop in case you need to check documentation.
- Create a new compose in Dockge
Compose File
services:
db:
image: postgres:15-alpine
container_name: wikijs-db
environment:
POSTGRES_DB: wiki
POSTGRES_USER: wikijs
POSTGRES_PASSWORD: ${DB_PASS}

restart: unless-stopped
wiki:
image: ghcr.io/requarks/wiki:2
container_name: wikijs
depends_on:
- db
environment:
DB_TYPE: postgres
DB_HOST: db
DB_PORT: 5432
DB_USER: wikijs
DB_PASS: ${DB_PASS}
DB_NAME: wiki
ports:
- "8081:3000"
restart: unless-stopped
volumes:
db-data:
- Put your DB password into the .env file
