A self-contained Docker image for the [Bluesky PDS (Personal Data Server) ](https://github.com/bluesky-social/pds) for use with Traefik. This image is pinned to v0.4.74.

It is required to run the instance behind a proxy (like traefik) to generate SSL certificates. This will not work otherwise. The standard pds install includes caddy to handle this. A wildcard DNS assignment along with a wildcard SSL certificate is required. I use Cloudflare for this, see the screenshot below.

This is not intended for production, and I am not responsible for any data loss or security issues. This is a personal project, and I am not affiliated with Bluesky.

## Deployment

Before changing images or upgrading, always backup the files made in the volume.
