SANCTUM is a tool that generates clean, production-ready Docker Compose homelabs without magic, lock-in, or hidden automation. Instead of opinionated stacks or opaque configuration, it focuses on clarity, compatibility, and ownership. You choose the services you want, SANCTUM validates the combination, detects conflicts upfront, and generates a setup you can understand, run, and maintain yourself.

The output is always plain Docker. There is no proprietary runtime, no background agent, and no SaaS dependency. Generated stacks follow best practices with explicit versions, named volumes, dedicated networks, and predictable defaults.

SANCTUM supports multiple ways of working: a GUI for discovery, a guided terminal flow for step-by-step setup, and a direct CLI mode for power users and automation.

It is designed for homelab users, developers, and anyone who values transparency over automation magic. A free tier allows generation of up to three services, while the subscription unlocks unlimited services and future updates. The subscription sustains ongoing curation and maintenance but never affects runtime behavior or ownership.

SANCTUM is built on a simple principle: tools should help you ship, not trap you. No magic. Just Docker done right.
