 My Hobby Server for Self-Hosted Applications on Docker

+## Usage
+
+In each application directory resides a `sample-env` file, which includes the required environment variables that you can copy to `.env`:
+
+```
+$ cd folder/
+$ cp sample-env .env
+# modify .env to desired values
+```
+
+## Included Applications

+I will add more over time:
+
