Alarik is Now Available as a One-Click Template in Dokploy
Alarik is now available as an official one-click template in Dokploy. This makes it significantly easier for anyone to deploy a self-hosted S3-compatible object store without manual configuration.
Why This Matters
Deploying object storage has traditionally required writing and maintaining Docker Compose files, configuring environment variables, setting up volumes, and handling networking. With the new Dokploy template, you can now launch both the Alarik API and the web console in just a few clicks.
This is especially useful for:
- Homelab users who want simple S3-compatible storage
- Developers testing S3 workflows locally or in staging
- Teams looking for a lightweight, truly open-source alternative to MinIO
What's Included in the Template
The Dokploy template deploys the full Alarik stack:
- Alarik API (S3-compatible backend)
- Web Console (modern UI for managing buckets and objects)
- Persistent storage volume
- Pre-configured environment variables
- Proper networking between services
You only need to provide a few values (such as admin credentials and a JWT secret) and Dokploy handles the rest.
How to Deploy Alarik with Dokploy
- Open your Dokploy instance
- Go to Templates
- Search for Alarik
- Click Deploy
- Configure your environment variables
- Deploy
That’s it. You’ll have a working Alarik instance with both the API and console available within minutes.
Try It Now
If you’re already using Dokploy, you can deploy Alarik right away from the template library.
Want to deploy it manually instead? You can still use our official Docker Compose setup.
What’s Next
We’re continuing to improve Alarik during the beta phase. Having it available in Dokploy makes it much easier for more people to try it and provide feedback — which is exactly what we need right now.
If you deploy Alarik through Dokploy and run into any issues (or have suggestions), please open an issue on GitHub. Your feedback directly helps shape the project.
