stackd: GitOps for Docker Compose without the Kubernetes tax
Not everything needs to run on Kubernetes.
stackd is a GitOps daemon for Docker Compose, built for people who don’t want cloud platform complexity just to keep a few self-hosted services running. It sits between your Git repo and your Docker host, watches for changes, pulls updates, and applies them automatically with docker compose up -d. The point is to make Compose feel operationally mature without turning it into Kubernetes.
