What gets deployed

Service	Image	Notes
Outline	`outlinewiki/outline:1.11.0`	Public. Migrations run on boot. Uploads on a 5 GB volume
db	PostgreSQL 16	Internal. Documents, users, history
redis	Redis 7	Internal. Real-time collaboration and background jobs

Before you deploy: email

Outline signs people in with a link sent by email, so it needs an SMTP server. Any transactional provider works (Resend, Postmark, Amazon SES, Mailgun, your own). Have the host, port, credentials, and a verified sender address ready for the deploy form.

After deploy

The template creates the workspace on first boot with the admin email from the deploy form, so nobody else can claim it. Open your Outline URL, enter that email, and click the link you receive.

Invite your team from Settings → Members. To sign in with Google, Slack, Microsoft or any OIDC provider instead of email links, add that provider’s variables (see Outline’s docs).

Good to know

If Outline rejects the admin email or workspace name, the container stops and logs why, so the “create workspace” page never sits open. Fix the value and redeploy.
ADMIN_EMAIL, ADMIN_NAME and WORKSPACE_NAME are only used on first boot.
No sign-in email? Check the Outline service’s logs: SMTP errors show up there. Port 465 needs SMTP_SECURE=true; 587 needs false.
