You can ship your local docker context to a remote host and build/run your containers there. All the docker commands you typically run locally you can run on the remote host.
thanks! I was a little bit confused at first because I've always taken docker compose as a tool mainly for spinning up dev environments. But I read mentioned article and it looks perfectly valid for single host deployments.
One thing which bothered me is how i manage container versions usually made with hashes but all you need is to either make sth like a compose template like file which would have a version placeholder or specify production compose configuration on top of the default one.
