JoinGrove

Docker Campus Integration

Source: docs/integrations/docker-campus.md
Generated: 01/09/2026

Deploy JoinGrove as a Docker campus image for bootcamps, universities, and shared labs.

Key Concepts

  • What: Docker Compose packages REH server, pre-built assets, and campus defaults for a $5/month VM.
  • Why: Cohorts need one-command lab setup — students connect via browser without local installs.
  • Related: Self-hosted campus (campus.md), tutorial (self-hosted-campus.md).
