## What it is
Doco-CD is a lightweight GitOps continuous deployment tool written in Go that automatically deploys and updates Docker Compose projects and Docker Swarm stacks from Git repositories via webhooks or polling. It serves as a simple self-hosted alternative to Portainer or ArgoCD for Docker-based deployments.

## Use cases
- automatically deploy docker compose services when I push to git
- gitops continuous deployment for docker swarm stacks
- self-hosted argocd alternative for docker compose
- deploy containers from git via webhook
- poll a git repo and update docker compose projects
- manage external secrets and SOPS encryption in compose deployments
- get prometheus metrics and notifications for my deployments
- run scheduled cron jobs for periodic deployment tasks

## When to choose
- you want GitOps-style deployments for Docker Compose or Swarm without Kubernetes
- you need a lightweight, low-resource alternative to Portainer or ArgoCD
- you want webhook- and polling-based deployment from GitHub, GitLab, Gitea, Forgejo, or Azure DevOps
- you need built-in secret management, SOPS encryption, and OCI artifact support

## When to avoid
- you deploy to Kubernetes and need full ArgoCD/Flux features
- you need a full container management UI with logs, terminals, and image management like Portainer
- your deployments target non-Docker runtimes

## Facets
- artifact type: service
- maturity: active
