Deployment options
You can generate stacks for Docker (default) or bare-metal:- Docker — All services run in containers. Use
docker compose upto start everything. - Bare-metal — A native + Docker hybrid: services with native recipes run on the host, others run in Docker. Outputs native install scripts plus docker-compose for remaining services.
Currently Redis supports native Linux installation (apt/dnf + systemd). More services like PostgreSQL, Caddy, and Prometheus may be added over time.
