I honestly think docker compose is the best default option for single-machine orchestration. The catch is that you either need to do some scripting to get fully automated zero downtime deploys. I have to imagine someone will eventually figure out a way to trivialize that, if they haven't already. Or, you could just do the poor man's zero downtime deploy: run two containers, deploy container a, wait for it to be ready, then deploy container b, and let the reverse proxy do the rest.

Docker Swarm takes the Compose format and takes it to multi-node clusters with load balancing, while keeping things pretty simple and manageable, especially with something like Porainer! For larger scale orchestratiom, Hashicorp Nomad can also be a notable contender, while in some ways still being simpler than Kubernetes. And even when it comes to Kubernetes, distros like K3s and tools like Portainer or Rancher can keep managing the cluster easy.

If you want to stick on one machine, you can always just use a single node Docker Swarm to get the fully automated zero downtime deploys you want with Docker Compose: https://github.com/BretFisher/ama/discussions/146 https://github.com/BretFisher/ama/discussions/146
