DocuBook — Next.js (Docker)
A documentation starter template with a production-ready Docker setup using multi-stage builds and Next.js standalone output. Designed for self-hosted and containerized environments.
Features
- Multi-stage Dockerfile — build stage compiles, production stage runs on minimal Alpine base
- Standalone Output — only runtime artifacts in the final image (~100MB vs ~1GB full node_modules)
- Container-native — single-process design compatible with any orchestrator
- Platform-agnostic — works with Coolify, Kubernetes, Railway, Fly.io, Render, or any Docker host
- MDX Content — write documentation in Markdown/MDX with full component support
- SEO Friendly — automatic sitemap, meta tags, and structured data
- Responsive Design — optimized for desktop and mobile devices
- Quick Search — fast client-side documentation search

Platform notes
| Platform | Notes |
|---|---|
| Coolify / Docker VPS | Push image to registry, deploy as standard container (PORT=3000) |
| Kubernetes | Create Deployment + Service; image runs single process on PORT |
| Railway / Fly.io / Render | Auto-detected from Dockerfile; set env vars via provider panel |
For Vercel deployment (no Docker needed), use the nextjs template instead.
