docker-compose reference

Structure of the docker-compose.yml that OrcheStack generates from your service selection, with common overrides documented.

Base services

The generated compose always includes:

• orchestack-proxy — reverse proxy (Traefik)
• orchestack-auth — nginx serving signup, login and the setup wizard
• orchestack-dashboard — administrator dashboard
• orchestack-postgres — PostgreSQL warehouse + platform metadata store
• orchestack-orchestrator — Python service-lifecycle manager

Profiles

Each selectable tool is added under a Docker Compose profile matching its name. docker compose --profile airbyte up -d starts the Airbyte stack. OrcheStack manages profile activation automatically via the orchestrator.

Common overrides

Put custom overrides in docker-compose.override.yml (not edited by OrcheStack):
