   Deploy web apps anywhere.

   

   For homelab, Docker compose should be enough

4. Dokku

   3 199 30,435 9.9 Shell

   A docker-powered PaaS that helps you build and manage the lifecycle of applications

   

   I run all my projects on Dokku. It’s a sweet spot for me between a barebones VPS with Docker Compose and something a lot more complicated like k8s. Dokku comes with a bunch of solid plugins for databases that handle backups and such. Zero downtime deploys, TLS cert management, reverse proxies, all out of the box. It’s simple enough to understand in a weekend and has been quietly maintained for many years. The only downside is it’s meant mostly for single server deployments, but I’ve never needed another server so far.

   If you want to stick on one machine, you can always just use a single node Docker Swarm to get the fully automated zero downtime deploys you want with Docker Compose:
