Unfortunately I don't have a specific answer but I've was thinking of doing something similar - I've since changed my approach but this is what I was thinking. There are a number of these kinds of things for Kubernetes (Keel.sh, et al) but nothing that I could find for plain docker. One idea I had was to use something like https://github.com/adnanh/webhook and ping a webhook from the Github action. Yes it'd be publicly accessible, but using an HMAC header signed by a github secret would probably mitigate much of the risk. The webhook would do the pull and restart (via a shell script). I also spent some time playing with waypoint (from Hashicorp) and think it has potential, but of course is a bit different. They do have a docker image 'builder' and I think the webhook could be built into the server side to do the pull on new image. fw

In Ask HN: Is there an open-source AWS Code Deploy or similar?
Webhook: https://github.com/adnanh/webhook Self hosted tiny incoming webhook server with powerful options. Lets user run shell commands on incoming webhook. Has context parsing (use values from payload, query string, headers etc...). Can use context to validate the requests (i.e. only trigger if the push is coming from GitHub and the ref branch is the master branch). More info can be found in the Readme and on the wiki. Tech stack: Golang --- Hookdoo - https://www.hookdoo.com/ A SaaS spin on the webhook server. Sort of an opposite approach. Has all the features webhook has, and also implements concurrency management (i.e. only run one script and deny others until it's done, allow parallel runs etc...). Centralized, managed, leverages SSH. No need for the user to install and configure anything on their servers. Tech stack: Ruby, Golang, Re
