-# Portainer Stacks
-
-My personal collection of Docker Compose stacks for Portainer.  
-This repository is the **single source of truth** for all my self-hosted services.
-
-## Folder Structure
-
-portainer-stacks/
-├── gitea/
-├── portainer/
-├── pihole/
-├── homeassistant/
-├── homepage/
-├── ... (additional services)
-└── README.md
-
-Each service folder contains its own docker-compose.yml (or docker-compose.yaml) file.
-
-## How to Work with This Repo
-
-1. Clone the Repository (first time only)
-
-git clone http://192.168.1.46:3131/kdouglas011/portainer-stacks.git ~/portainer-stacks
-cd ~/portainer-stacks
-
-2. Daily Workflow (pull → edit → push)
-Always start here
-cd ~/portainer-stacks
-git pull origin main
-3. Make your changes to any docker-compose.yml file
-Stage, commit, and push
-git add .
-git commit -m "Updated pihole stack - changed ports and password"

-- Choose Repository as the build method
-- Fill in the following: 
-| Field                  | Value                                      |
-|------------------------|--------------------------------------------|
-| Repository URL         | http://192.168.1.46:3131/kdouglas011/portainer-stacks.git |
-| Repository reference   | refs/heads/main                            |

-- (Optional) Enable Automatic updates
-- Click Deploy the stack (or Update the stack)
-
-## Tips & Best Practices
-
-- Always run git pull origin main before editing anything.
-- Use clear, descriptive commit messages.
-- Test changes locally first:
-docker compose up -d
-- Never commit real passwords or secrets. Use Portainer environment variables instead (highly recommended for security).
-- Keep stacks modular — one service per folder keeps everything clean and easy to maintain.
