Testing the WordLand Baseline Theme
Feedland Docker Compose
February 11, 2026 by Scott Hanson

I have just released a Docker compose file for FeedLand for public testing. It contains a compose file some supporting scripts to quickly install an instance FeedLand together with MySQL as Docker containers. It will optionally start a Caddy proxy to enable HTTPS.  

I've been testing this out on the command line of a Linux VPS. You need to have Docker installed, of course. It makes things easier if you can run Docker as a normal user instead of root. 

Once you've downloaded the repo from GitHub, there are basically two steps.

  • Create or generate a .env file with you FeedLand hostname and the passwords for MySQL
  • Run `docker compose up -d` to create and run the containers

That's it. A config.json file is created that can be edited to add features and change settings. 

Running notes will be posted to https://scott.this.how/feedlandDockerCompose.opml

This is completely inspired by Chuck Schotten's Dockerfile for FeedLand from his feedlandInstall repo. I've published a FeedLand Docker image at Docker Hub (generated by a GitHub action whenever FeedLand itself is updated).

Please feel free to try this out and let me know in the issues if the instructions are unclear or if it doesn't work as expected. 😃
