Ghostfolio Docker Compose example

Self-host Ghostfolio on your own server, homelab, or VPS starting from this Docker Compose example. It runs Ghostfolio in Docker containers using the official ghostfolio/ghostfolio:latest, postgres:15-alpine, redis:alpine images, with persistent volumes and automatic restarts preconfigured. Review the environment variables and adjust them to your setup, save the file as compose.yml (or docker-compose.yml), and start the stack with docker compose up -d.
