Do you have apps you want to deploy to a server, but Kubernetes is way too much? Harbormaster is for you.
Harbormaster is a small container orchestrator that lets you run multiple Docker Compose applications on a single host, with automatic deploys/restarts, simply by pushing to a git repo.
It does this by taking a list of git repository URLs that contain Docker Compose files and running the Compose apps they contain. It will also handle updating/restarting the apps when the repositories change.
Please visit the documentation for more details.
Do you have a home server you want to run a few apps on, but don't want everything to break every time you upgrade the OS? Do you want automatic updates but don't want to buy an extra 4 servers so you can run Kubernetes?
Do you have a work server that you want to run a few small services on, but don't want to have to manually manage it? Do you find that having every deployment action be in a git repo more tidy?
Harbormaster is for you.
At its core, Harbormaster takes a YAML config file with a list of git repository URLs containing Docker Compose files, clones/pulls them, and starts the services they describe.
You run Harbormaster on a timer, pointing it to a directory, and it updates all the repositories in its configuration, and restarts the Compose services if they have changed. That's it!
It also cleanly stores data for all apps in a single data/ directory, so you always
have one directory that holds all the state, which you can easily back up and restore.
