+# 🐳 CasjaysDevDocker
+
+A curated collection of self-hostable Docker containers — all built on a standardised Alpine-based foundation, designed for simplicity, consistency, and easy self-hosting.
+
+---
+
+## 📦 What's Here
+
+Every repository in this organisation is a single containerised application:
+
+| Category | Containers |
+|----------|-----------|
+| **Web & Proxy** | nginx, lighttpd, caddy, traefik, cherokee |
+| **Databases** | mariadb, mysql, postgres, mongodb, couchdb, redis, valkey, sqlite |
+| **Git & Dev** | gitea, forgejo, soft-serve, code, neovim, vim |
+| **Media** | ampache, navidrome, icecast, mpd, ympd |
+| **Cloud & Storage** | nextcloud, opencloud |
+| **Languages & Runtimes** | nodejs, bun, deno, python, php |
+| **Mail** | postfix, mailman |
+| **Networking** | bind, ddns, tor, i2pd, ifconfig |
+| **Utilities** | ntfy, gotify, apprise, aria2, transmission, pastebin, wttr, ssl-ca, tftpd, proftpd |
+| **AI & LLMs** | ollama |
+| **Desktop** | xfce4 |
+| **CMS & Web Apps** | wordpress, jekyll, enclosed, opengist, webmin |
+| **Downloads** | youtube-dl |
+
+---
+
+## 🏗️ How Containers Are Built
+
+All images follow the same two-stage pattern:
+
+- **Stage 1** — Alpine bootstrap: install `bash`, `ca-certificates`, and update trust store
+- **Stage 2** — `FROM scratch`: copy the full Alpine rootfs, layer in the application, and configure via environment variables
+
+Every container is generated and maintained using the **[gen-dockerfile](https://github.com/casjay-dotfiles/scripts)** tool, which produces consistent Dockerfiles, entrypoint scaffolding, and CI workflows across all repositories.
+
+---
+
+## 🚀 Quick Start
+
+```bash
+docker pull casjaysdev/<image-name>
+docker run -d \
+  -e TZ=America/New_York \
+  -p <port>:<port> \
+  --name <image-name> \
+  casjaysdev/<image-name>
+```
+
+Each repository's `README.md` documents the available environment variables, ports, and volume mounts.
+
+---
+
+## 🔧 Common Environment Variables
+
+All containers share a consistent set of environment variables:
+
+| Variable | Default | Description |
+|----------|---------|-------------|
+| `TZ` | `America/New_York` | Container timezone |
+| `HOSTNAME` | `casjaysdev-<name>` | Container hostname |
+| `PORT` | service-specific | Primary service port |
+| `ENV_PORTS` | service-specific | Additional exposed ports |
+| `SERVICE_NAME` | image name | Name used for config/log paths |
+| `CONTAINER_NAME` | image name | Internal container identifier |
+
