Tomas DvorakandDevin a0141ae552 feat: standalone curl-pipe installer, no clone required
- install.sh works outside a checkout: installs into CONTAINR_DIR
  (default ./containr), downloads docker-compose.yml + .env.example from
  the repo, generates secrets, pulls published images
- CONTAINR_REF selects the git ref for downloads; CONTAINR_BUILD=1 or a
  failed pull fetches the source tarball and builds locally
- env-var overrides (HTTP_PORT/API_PORT/...) are persisted into .env;
  health-wait ports resolve env -> .env -> defaults
- drop fixed `name: containr` from root compose so installs in different
  directories get distinct project names
- README: curl one-liner is the primary install path

## What is Containr?
Containr is an open-source control plane for Docker. It gives you a
project-first deployment workflow — create a project, drop services onto a
visual canvas, wire them together with environment variables, and deploy —
without Kubernetes, without a cloud bill, and without giving up control of
your infrastructure.
The UI is inspired by Railway's project canvas: services appear as nodes,
connections are inferred automatically, and everything — logs, metrics,
deployments, builds — is one click away.
## Screenshots

## Features
- **Project canvas** — visual service topology with groups, drag/drop layout,
and auto-inferred connections
- **Deployments** — Docker-based deploys with history, logs, and rollback
- **Git integration** — deploy from GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, or Gitea;
repository and branch pickers, webhooks, GitHub App support
- **Builds** — build pipeline with live status over WebSocket
- **Service metrics** — real CPU/memory/network telemetry from Docker stats
- **Templates** — one-click service catalog (databases, apps, tooling)
- **Databases** — managed database services with backup/restore actions
- **Cron jobs** — scheduled jobs with execution history
- **Preview environments** — per-project preview deploys
- **Variables & environments** — per-service env vars, production/preview/dev
- **Node monitoring** — host CPU, memory, disk, and network telemetry
- **Security** — audit logs, vulnerability scans, compliance reports
- **Auth** — Better Auth sessions (email + OAuth), per-user resource scoping
- **Self-hosted networking** — Traefik reverse proxy, optional Cloudflare
Tunnel for exposure without port forwarding

## Quick Start
### Easy install (recommended)
Requires Docker with the Compose plugin, `openssl`, and `curl`. One-liner,
no clone needed:
```bash
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Dvorinka/Containr/main/install.sh | bash
```
Installs into `./containr`, generates secrets, pulls the published `:latest`
images from GHCR, and starts the stack. Non-interactive — configure with
env vars:
```bash
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Dvorinka/Containr/main/install.sh | \
HTTP_PORT=8080 API_PORT=8082 CONTAINR_DIR=/opt/containr bash
```
`CONTAINR_VERSION` pins a release tag (e.g. `0.1.1`), `CONTAINR_REF` selects
the git ref for downloaded files, and `CONTAINR_BUILD=1` skips the registry
and builds from source — the installer downloads the source tarball when it
needs to build. An existing `.env` is never overwritten, so it is safe to
re-run.
From a git checkout, `./install.sh` does the same thing in place.
Frontend at `http://localhost:3000`, API at `http://localhost:8082`.
### Docker Compose (manual)
```bash
cp .env.example .env # fill in secrets
docker compose up -d # pulls ghcr.io/dvorinka/containr-*:latest
```
Compose pulls the published images by default; run `docker compose up -d
--build` to build from source. Host ports can be remapped in `.env`
(`HTTP_PORT`, `API_PORT`, `POSTGRES_PORT`, `REDIS_PORT`) if the defaults
collide with other services.
### Local development
```bash
docker compose up -d postgres redis # data services only
cd app/backend && go run ./cmd/server # API + embedded auth sidecar
cd app/frontend && npm install && npm run dev
```
Frontend dev server at `http://localhost:5173`.
### Self-hosted with Traefik + Cloudflare Tunnel
See `infra/docker-compose.yml` and
[docs/guides/CLOUDFLARE_SETUP.md](docs/guides/CLOUDFLARE_SETUP.md).
## Configuration
All configuration is via environment variables — see `.env.example`.
Required for production: `JWT_SECRET`, `BETTER_AUTH_SECRET`,
`BETTER_AUTH_INTERNAL_TOKEN`, database and Redis credentials.
**Never commit `.env` or `.env.prod`.** Both are gitignored; if a secret was
ever committed, rotate it.
