Using Jenkins to deploy Docker containers? (lemmy.world)

I am wanting to automate some homelab things. Specifically deploying new and updating existing docker containers.

I would like to publish my entire docker compose stacks (minus env vars) onto a public Git repo, and then using something to select a specific compose from that, on a specific branch (so I can have a physical seperate server for testing) automatically deploy a container.

I thought of Jenkins, as it is quite flexable, and I am very willing to code it together, but are there any tools like this that I should look into instead? I've heard Ansible is not ideal for docker compose.

I've used Ansible to deploy docker compose and it worked pretty well. You will have to do some learning if you aren't familiar with it, but I'd say it's worth it.

Like others, I would not recommend Jenkins.
