Recipes

Pattern-level building blocks. Each one is a small set of changes that solve a single authoring question.

For each recipe, the Reference section has a full skill file with the exact YAML. This page is an index — pick the recipe that matches your need and follow the link.

Routing & exposure

• Replace ports: with expose — Compose port publishing → Fibe HTTPS routing.
• Pick a subdomain — set the host label; use @ for the root.
• Share a subdomain with a path rule — several services, one subdomain.

Source & build

• Convert build: to repo labels — Compose builds → Fibe dynamic services.
• Live source mount — dev-mode templates with hot reload.
• Build args & targets — multi-stage builds, custom build args.
• Env file pointer — tell Fibe which env example file to read.

Variables & secrets

• Lift Compose ${VAR} — turn Compose interpolations into Fibe variables.
• Inline a variable into a string — $$var__NAME in URLs, tags, partial strings.
• Bind a whole node with a path — path: / paths: for whole values.
• Generate & mark sensitive — random: true for launch-unique secrets.

Compose hygiene

• Strip incompatible keys — what to remove.
• Use named volumes — for persistent data.
• Order with depends_on — start services in the right order.
• Share with anchors — YAML anchors for repeated config.
• Inline config files — configs: for small init scripts.
• Fill in metadata — description, category, source_defaults.

Scaling & healthchecks

• Healthcheck labels for rolling updates — the five healthcheck labels.
