Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

You answer my question with a question... But I'll answer it.
Compose is meant for multi-container applications or development. It's good for custom applications where you need to manage every service yourself so you mostly see them used for stuff like web stacks.
Single container applications are much easier to run and manage for the end-user and most of the awesome-selfhosted apps are already served as single container images on the docker hub. There is absolutely no need to use compose for any of those because you are not managing every service of the app yourself.
I have a big server with lots of containers running for apps. For example, I have a container for my blog, one for FreshRSS, and even one for Teamspeak. But I only use Compose for one application and that's my own custom one. That one consists of an nginx container, php container, etc. I don't need to dive into the different services of FreshRSS for example, but I do need to for my own custom app.
