# Project Docker Boilerplates Documentation Master

This document consolidates best practices, standardized procedures, and updated guides for setting up common services using Docker Compose. It aims to replace multiple standalone setup files with one authoritative, cross-referenced source of truth.

## 📚 Overview of Services Covered
*   [Authentik SSO Setup](Authentik_SSO_Setup.md)
*   [Homepage Dashboard Setup](Homepage_Dashboard_Setup.md)
*   [WG-Easy VPN Service Setup](WG-Easy_VPN_Service_Setup.md)

***Note to User:** The final structure will enforce consistent sections: Prerequisites, Configuration (YAML/Env Vars), Step-by-Step Execution, and Verification.*

## 🐳 Master Template Standard Fields
For *every* service setup in this repository, the following structure MUST be followed for maximum understandability.

### 1. ⚙️ Prerequisites & Requirements
List all software versions needed (e.g., `Docker Engine >= 24.0`, `Portainer v2.x`).
*   **Key Action:** Always verify resource constraints (CPU/RAM) before deployment.

### 2. 📦 Docker Compose Structure
Provide the minimal, complete, and versioned `docker-compose.yml` file. Use explicit YAML formatting for easy comparison.

### 3. 🚀 Step-by-Step Execution
A numbered list of terminal commands to execute in order.

#### **Example:** Service A Deployment Flow
1.  Navigate to the service directory: `cd ./service-a/`
2.  Build images and start services: `docker compose up -d --build`
3.  Wait for readiness checks (See Verification).

### 4. ✅ Verification & Testing
How do you prove it works? Include direct URLs or CLI commands to check the service health endpoint (`curl http://localhost:port/health`).

## 📂 Specific Service Outlines (To be detailed)

### **1. Authentik SSO Setup Guide**
*   **Goal:** Establish Single Sign-On via Docker Compose deployment.
*   **Key Configuration Elements to Standardize:**
    *   Reverse Proxy integration details (Nginx/Traefik config snippets).
    *   Environment variable structure for Secrets Management (e.g., using Vault or standard `.env` files securely).

### **2. Homepage Dashboard Setup Guide**
*   **Goal:** Create a beautiful, single landing page aggregating services.
*   **Key Standardizations:** Ensure the `docker-compose.yml` uses version 3.8+ syntax and clearly maps external service names to internal Docker container DNS entries.

### **3. WG-Easy VPN Setup Guide**
*   **Goal:** Securely set up a WireGuard VPN gateway using containers.
*   **Key Standardizations:** Proper handling of static IP/DNS requirements in the hosting environment, and explicit instructions on key rotation management.

***Next Step Plan:*** I will now take each original document and refactor its content section-by-section into this standardized template structure before proposing it as a formal Skill Proposal.
