doco-cd
Docker Compose Continuous Deployment
The Lens
Doco-CD is GitOps for Docker Compose. Point it at a Git repo containing your docker-compose.yml, and it automatically deploys when you push. Webhooks or polling, your choice. ArgoCD stripped down to just Docker Compose, without the Kubernetes complexity.
Runs as a single container with minimal RAM. Supports multiple Git providers, external secret management with SOPS encryption, Prometheus metrics for monitoring deployments, and built-in notifications. Also works with Docker Swarm stacks if you have graduated past single-host Compose.
Solo developers and small teams running Docker Compose in production (and there are more of you than the Kubernetes crowd admits): this gives you automated deployments without learning Kubernetes, Helm, or ArgoCD. Push to main, services update.
The catch: if you need canary deployments, rolling updates with health checks, or multi-cluster orchestration, you have outgrown this tool. It does one thing and does it well.
