ComposeForge

Confidence-first self-hosting.

ComposeForge generates clean, production-minded Docker Compose stacks without the “blank file” stress. It stays calm and readable by default—while still being fully yours to customize.

Launch Builder Explore Pro Editions

Same builder across editions. Different catalogs behind the scenes. Start simple, then specialize only when you choose to.

How ComposeForge fits into your workflow

Choose what you need, generate consistent files, deploy on infrastructure you control.

1. Choose a few services

Start with a small, curated selection—no overwhelming “platform” checklist.

2. Generate sane outputs

Get a predictable layout with sensible defaults that you can understand and keep.

3. Customize when needed

Power is there, but it's not forced on you. You opt into depth on your terms.

All editions use the same base builder. Each edition simply loads a different catalog JSON and enables optional behind-the-scenes benefits.

Community Edition stays intentionally simple: clear categories, curated choices, and a builder that doesn't fight you.
