get your first application up and running in seconds!\n\nDo connect to your Docker host you use the context:\n\n```bash\ndocker context import PROJECT_NAME collaborator.dockercontext\ndocker context use PROJECT_NAME\ndocker ps\n```\n\n### DNS Setup\n\nIf you haven't done so already, here are the steps to set up your DNS records:\n\n```text\nA @ YOUR_SERVER_IP\nA * YOUR_SERVER_IP\nAAAA @

GitHub is used as the single source of truth for application code, configuration, and secrets and authentication for staff.\nThe [Docker] host runs the applications in lightweight containers, managed by Docker Compose. A [Caddy] load balancer handles incoming traffic, providing automatic HTTPS and routing requests to the appropriate web servers. Each application has its own PostgreSQL database and Redis instance for caching.\n\n[12-factor]: https://12factor.net/\n[caddy]: https://caddyserver.com/\n[dependabot]: https://github.com/dependabot\n[docker]: https://www.docker.com/\n[dozzle]: https://dozzle.dev/\n[letsencrypt]: https://letsencrypt.org/\n[node.js]: https://nodejs.org/\n[postgresql]: https://www.postgresql.org/\n[python]: https://www.python.org/\n[redis]: https://redis.io/\n","funding_links":["https://github.com/sponsors/codingjoe","https://buymeacoffee.com/codingjoe","https://www.paypal.me/codingjoe"],"categories":[],"sub_categories":[],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcodingjoe%2Fthe-box","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fcodingjoe%2Fthe-box","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcodingjoe%2Fthe-box/lists"}
