I am of the opinion that deploying stuff to a single server shouldn't be this complicated, and I wrote a tool to deploy the way I wanted:

https://harbormaster.readthedocs.io/

Harbormaster uses a YAML file to discover repositories, clones and updates them every so often, and runs the Docker Compose files they contain. It also keeps all state in a single directory, so you can easily back everything up. That's it.

It's by far the easiest and best tool for container orchestration I've come across, if all you need is a single server. I love how the entire config is declared in a repo, I love how all the state is in one directory, and I love how everything is just Compose files, nothing more complicated.

I know I'm tooting my own horn, I just love it so much.
