Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Check out their quick start guide here, it looks very helpful to me: https://github.com/overleaf/toolkit/blob/master/doc/quick-start-guide.md
I would guess that you need to learn more about Docker usage in general, rather than just looking for a Docker Compose file (which is here, by the way). I'm kind of on a similar journey, and what I've learned so far is that you (usually) can't just copy and paste a Compose script and go. It helps a lot to understand the basics of what you're doing.
I found this video helpful, but others might have better suggestions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pg19Z8LL06w
Also, I'd like to point out that Overleaf's hosting and pricing options are quite reasonable, especially if you're working for a university or institution: https://www.overleaf.com/user/subscription/plans
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
While I did take advantage of the free Overleaf Pro during my university days, I don't have it anymore after graduating, and so I'm missing some features which their free tier doesn't have.
By self-hosting I'm given better control, and all those features I once had before.
Also, the whole point of this community is to kind of avoid relying on third-party hosting, and especially paying for it too🙂
Yeah, I don't really like using Docker so I always go for easier option, but my friend uses Docker a lot and also had troubles with Overleaf.
I don't work for university, but I am a student that needs Latex. Overleaf free plan got really bad, even my thesis cannot be compiled now and Overleaf pricing isn't really great. Student pricing is only for annually subscription, so it is not ideal for me.
Right, Docker can definitely be a daunting system to learn, but it's the standard because it's so reliable and flexible. I've been using CasaOS because it's basically Docker on easy mode, with limited package support, but I've decided recently that I really should just learn how to use Docker properly.
I know some Docker, even I built my own images, but I just don't really like Docker.
Usually docker is the easiest option as you don't have to install a lot of dependencies, then set up other services and databases and whatnot. Especially if you use docker-compose.
The easier option is hunting for Docker Compose...
A Docker Compose is literally just a bunch of Docker commands in yaml format. Can’t say I understand how one can be any easier or harder than the other, considering they basically directly map one to another.
There’s even a website that translates it for you: https://www.composerize.com/
Yeah, Even Dockge can do that
So…? 🤷♀️
What? xD
I know, That's why I said I always look for Docker Compose bc it is the easier option.
