I have a very similar system[1] for my personal projects, only I use GitHub actions to push a docker image to ECR and a commit to a config repo bumping the tag. I then have a cronjob to pull the config repo and reconcile using docker compose. I wouldn't use it for serious stuff, but it's been working great for my random personal projects (biggest gap is if something crashes it'll stay crashed until manual intervention currently) - [1] https://github.com/mnahkies/shoe-string-server/pull/2 https://github.com/mnahkies/shoe-string-server/pull/2
