## 📁 Repository Structure ## ⚡ Quick Start: Deploy Your First Alternative
``` Most tools in this list can be deployed in minutes using Docker. Here is how to get started with the AltStack approach:
altstack-data/
├── data/
│ ├── tools.json # The core dataset (459+ tools)
│ ├── tools-min.json # Minified version
│ ├── category_editorial.json # Category descriptions & metadata
│ ├── stacks.ts # Curated stack combinations
│ ├── seo.ts # SEO metadata
│ └── schema/
│ └── types.ts # TypeScript schema for the data
│
├── docs/ # Full documentation site (Nextra)
│ └── app/
│ ├── deploy/ # 66+ deployment guides
│ ├── concepts/ # Self-hosting concepts
│ ├── quick-start/ # Getting started guides
│ └── stacks/ # Curated stack guides
│
├── assets/
│ └── logos/ # Tool logos
│
└── .github/
├── ISSUE_TEMPLATE/ # Templates for submissions
└── workflows/ # CI: JSON validation, docs build
```
--- 1. **Clone this repo**: `git clone https://github.com/altstackHQ/altstack-data.git`
2. **Explore `/deploy-configs`**: Find the Docker Compose file for the tool you want.
3. **Follow the Guide**: Visit [docs.thealtstack.com](https://docs.thealtstack.com) for step-by-step instructions.
## 🚀 Using the Data
The dataset is just JSON. Use it however you want.
**Fetch it directly:**
```bash ```bash
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/altstackHQ/altstack-data/main/data/tools.json | jq '.[0]' cd deploy-configs/plausible
``` docker-compose up -d
**Use it in JavaScript/TypeScript:**
```typescript
import tools from './data/tools.json';
import type { Tool } from './data/schema/types';
const analytics = tools.filter(t => t.category === 'Analytics');
console.log(`Found ${analytics.length} analytics tools`);
```
**Use it in Python:**
```python
import json
with open('data/tools.json') as f:
tools = json.load(f)
open_source = [t for t in tools if t.get('is_open_source')]
print(f"{len(open_source)} open source tools available")
``` ```

## 🐳 Self-Hosted Deployments ## <EFBFBD>️ Directory Mapping (The AltStack Bridge)
The `deployments/` directory contains **65+ production-ready Docker Compose configurations** for the tools in our directory. We use the data in this repository to power our [Main Website](https://thealtstack.com). Here is how the categories map:
These are the exact configurations and install scripts used in the [Self-Hosted Guides](https://thealtstack.com/self-hosted) on our main site. | UI Directory | Data Source (this repo) | Self-Hosted Guide |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
Instead of writing infrastructure code from scratch, you can deploy tools in minutes: | [Backend](https://thealtstack.com/category/backend-as-a-service) | `data/baas` | [BaaS Guides](https://docs.thealtstack.com/guides/backend) |
1. Clone this repository (`git clone https://github.com/altstackHQ/altstack-data.git`) | [Analytics](https://thealtstack.com/category/analytics) | `data/analytics` | [Analytics Guides](https://docs.thealtstack.com/guides/analytics) |
2. Navigate to a tool's folder: `cd altstack-data/deployments/supabase` | [Project Management](https://thealtstack.com/category/project-management) | `data/pm` | [PM Guides](https://docs.thealtstack.com/guides/pm) |
3. Run the automated setup script: `./install.sh` | [Communication](https://thealtstack.com/category/communication) | `data/comms` | [Comms Guides](https://docs.thealtstack.com/guides/comms) |
*(Alternatively, just run `docker compose up -d` if you don't need the setup script)* | [Productivity](https://thealtstack.com/category/productivity) | `data/productivity` | [Prod Guides](https://docs.thealtstack.com/guides/productivity) |
4. You're live!
**Contribute to Deployments:** If you have an optimized `docker-compose.yml` or a custom `install.sh` sequence (e.g., generating required passwords, running migrations) for a tool we haven't covered, or you want to improve an existing one, please open a PR!
