Used to locally build Docker images from source instead of retrieving pre-built images from GitHub Container Registry. Automatically used when running ./install.sh build.

`docker-compose.dev.yml`

Contains containers for aiding in local development of AliasVault. Provides a separate PostgreSQL instance for development on port 5433, managed via ./install.sh configure-dev-db.

`docker-compose.all-in-one.yml`

This is a all-in-one single-container build of the full AliasVault server stack for easy self-hosting, using s6-overlay to run multiple services (database, API, web, smtp, task runner) in one container.

This build is primarily intended for limited platforms like NAS devices, Unraid, or other small home-use scenarios where simplicity is preferred over flexibility. All configuration is abstracted away as much as possible. You only need to start this one container.

Note: For production or more advanced setups, we recommend using the default multi-container configuration available via ../docker-compose.yml.

Usage

Standard deployment: ./install.sh install (uses multi-container setup and ../docker-compose.yml)
Build from source: ./install.sh build (uses docker-compose.build.yml)
Development database: ./install.sh configure-dev-db start
Single container: Deploy with docker-compose.all-in-one.yml
