MediaCenter Modular Docker Compose Structure

Overview

Each service is defined in its own YAML file for better organization and maintenance.

File Structure

├── .env                         # Environment variables
├── compose-services/            # Individual service definitions
│   ├── networks.yml            # Network configuration
│   ├── volumes.yml             # Volume definitions

Benefits of This Structure

1. Modularity: Each service can be managed independently
2. Clarity: Easy to find and modify specific service configurations
3. Version Control: Track changes to individual services
4. Selective Deployment: Start only the services you need
5. Easier Debugging: Isolate issues to specific services
6. Team Collaboration: Different team members can work on different services

Adding New Services

1. Create a new file in compose-services/:

# compose-services/newservice.yml
name: mediacenter

services:
  newservice:
    image: newservice:latest
    container_name: newservice
    networks:
      - mediacenter
    # ... rest of configuration

2. Add the include to docker-compose.yml:

include:
  # ... existing includes
  - compose-services/newservice.yml

3. Restart the stack:

docker compose up -d

Backup
