I just use a docker-compose stack (one yaml file next to a bunch of subdirectories) templated out in Ansible. Ansible will be around for a while, but even if it's not its (yaml) syntax is incredibly easy to read. Any successor in that area is somewhat likely to have compatibility or at least a migration path. This together reaps the benefits of Docker (enhanced through Compose), and Ansible is documentation in itself. There's barely any actual comments. The code speaks for itself. Also, I can reproduce my stack with incredible ease.
