A compiled list of 500 ready to go Portainer App templates

🌐 portainer-templates.as93.net

TL;DR Under Settings → App Templates in your Portainer GUI, paste this URL:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Lissy93/portainer-templates/main/templates.json

In Portainer, App Templates enable you to easily deploy services with a predetermined configuration, while allowing you to customize options through the web UI. While Portainer ships with some default templates (see portainer/templates), it's often helpful to have 1-click access to many more apps stacks, without having to constantly switch template sources.

This repo combines app templates from several sources, to create a ready-to-go template file containing all the apps you'll ever need. It's also possible to self-host, as well as combine with your own custom templates.

You can browse all supported apps and stacks and see stats, config options and stand-alone installation commands for each, at portainer-templates.as93.net

1. Log into your Portainer web UI
2. Under Settings --> App Templates, update the URL to
   • https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Lissy93/portainer-templates/main/templates.json
3. Now under Home --> App Templates, you should see all apps. Click one to deploy.

Alternatively, when you start Portainer, you can append the --templates flag pointing to the templates URL.

If you'd prefer to source templates locally, you can self-host with Docker - there's a sample NGINX container provided
Just run: docker run -p 8080:80 lissy93/portainer-templates (changing 8080 to a port of your choice)
You'll then be able to pass Portainer the template file located at http://[host]:[port]/templates.json

Alternatively, you can build the image yourself locally, with the following commands (if you're using your own fork, don't forget to switch lissy93 out for your username!)

git clone https://github.com/lissy93/portainer-templates.git
cd portainer-templates
docker build -t portainer-templates .
docker run -d -p "8080:80" portainer-templates

If you're using your own template file, but don't want to fork this repository, you can instead simply pass your templates.json file to the above Docker container as a volume, with -v "${PWD}/templates.json:/usr/share/nginx/html/templates.json"

The template.json file is generated using the scripts in lib, using GitHub Actions. Running the make command will download all listed sources, parse them, and combine them with anything in the sources dir, outputting the templates.json file.
So, you only need to edit either the sources.csv file, or add your templates directly into the sources/ directory.

If you're maintaining your own list of Portainer templates, and would like them to be included, just add the URL to your template.json file to sources.csv, along with a name. When the action runs, it will download the content, parse it and add it to the final template.

Alternatively, place your template file within the sources directory, and it will be automatically combined into the main template.json. Be sure that your template corresponds to Portainer's App Template JSON Format.

There is a schema defined in Schema.json, which can be used to validate any Portainer template. Run make validate to ensure your template conforms to Portainer's App Template specification.

If you'd like to use this repo as a base, but maintain your own list of template, just fork the repository, and update lissy93 with your username in the import URL.

If you notice something not working as it should in any of the lib/ scripts, website code, README documentation, or workflows automations - then raise an issue or PR in this repository.

If you encounter an issue with any container included here, please raise a ticket/PR on the up-stream repo, not in this repository. This project simply compiles templates listed in the Sources into a single manifest, so once a fix has been pushed out upstream, it will be available here.

Contributions of any kind are very welcome, and would be much appreciated. For Code of Conduct, see Contributor Convent.

Not a coder? You can still help, by raising bugs you find, updating docs, or consider sponsoring me on GitHub

For a guide on adding templates, see the Editing section above (TLDR; either update sources.csv, or paste your template collection into the ./sources directory). Or, to make changes to the website, see the Website section below.

Before raising an issue or editing a template, please see the Raising Issues section above (TL;DR: changes need to be made upstream, NOT in this repo).

If you're new to open source, I've put together some guides in Git-In, but feel free to reach out if you need any support.

There's a simple website, which lists all available templates and shows stats, config options and installation instructions for each app / stack. You can view it at portainer-templates.netlify.app

The source is located in the website branch, and it's build as a simple SSR Svelte app (using SvelteKit TypeScript SCSS Vite). To make changes to the website, you'll need Node.js and Git installed. Then just run the following commands:

git clone -b website [email protected]:Lissy93/portainer-templates.git # Clone the website branch
cd portainer-templates # Navigate into the directory
npm i # Install dependencies
npm run dev # Start the development server

And to pubish, run npm run build then either use npm start or host the content of the '/build' directory using a web server of your choice. Alternatively, there's a Dockerfile, for easy deployment :)

Note that it's not required to make any changes to the website when adding a new template or templates source, as data is fetched directly from templates.json in the repo's main branch - so should show up automatically once your changes are merged.

There's a mirror of this repository, maintained on CodeBerg at: codeberg.org/alicia/portainer-templates

To pull templates from there, instead of GitHub, use this URL in your Portainer instance instead:
