# This is a sample docker-compose file that can be used to run Joplin Server
# along with a PostgreSQL server.
#
# Update the following fields in the stanza below:
#
# POSTGRES_USER
# POSTGRES_PASSWORD
# APP_BASE_URL
#
# APP_BASE_URL: This is the base public URL where the service will be running.
# - If Joplin Server needs to be accessible over the internet, configure APP_BASE_URL as follows: https://example.com/joplin.
# - If Joplin Server does not need to be accessible over the internet, set the APP_BASE_URL to your server's hostname.
# For Example: http://[hostname]:22300. The base URL can include the port.
# APP_PORT: The local port on which the Docker container will listen.
# - This would typically be mapped to port to 443 (TLS) with a reverse proxy.
# - If Joplin Server does not need to be accessible over the internet, the port can be mapped to 22300.
