siftlode/docker-compose.selfhost.yml

# Self-hosting Siftlode — pulls the prebuilt image, no source build needed.
#
#   1. Run ./install.sh  (or install.ps1 on Windows) once — it generates a .env with secrets.
#   2. docker compose -f docker-compose.selfhost.yml up -d
#   3. Open the setup wizard at the URL printed in the logs:
#        docker compose -f docker-compose.selfhost.yml logs api | grep SETUP
#
# The .env only needs four values (the install script generates all of them):
#   POSTGRES_PASSWORD, SECRET_KEY, TOKEN_ENCRYPTION_KEY, OAUTH_REDIRECT_URL
# Everything else — the admin account, Google sign-in, SMTP — is set in the web wizard on
# first run. See docs/self-hosting.md.
