I built XIVIZLEY: An Open-Source Visual Docker Compose Architect (At 14)

Description and use

XIVIZLEY is a visual Docker Compose architect that auto‑resolves port conflicts, exports clean YAML, and generates deployment scripts, simplifying homelab management.

Problem

Managing multiple docker‑compose.yml files in a growing homelab caused port collisions, YAML indentation errors, and manual deployment scripting.

Outcome

XIVIZLEY simplifies homelab Docker Compose management by providing a visual interface, conflict resolution, and automated deployment scripts, reducing errors and setup time.

Workflow

• Import or create a stack on the node canvas
• Drag and drop pre‑configured modules
• Resolve port conflicts with the real‑time resolver
• Estimate hardware usage
• Export YAML or generate bash deployment scripts
• Deploy to Ubuntu/Debian servers

Evidence

Interactive Node Canvas: Drag and drop from over 60+ pre-configured homelab modules

Source
