Nice, this reminds me of something from a few years ago:
https://github.com/mikew/b3cmd-server
https://github.com/mikew/b3cmd
This used docker-compose + git.

What Hacker News says
4 sourcesI wrote a thing that uses fabric to do docker-compose based deployments. It also handles static sites.
I've used it internally at a couple of companies and it works well for us.

https://github.com/mikew/b3cmd-server
In A simple DIY Heroku replacement to keep your hosting costs downI had various issues with that combo, and also didn't like the repetition of VIRTUAL_HOST and LETSENCRYPT_HOST, so I combined the docker-gen and letsencrypt portion[1]. Still BYO nginx.
I also wrote a tool for deploying and managing static servers and application servers during development[2][3], but it's not ready for a Show HN yet. But the idea is ...
b3cmd --project foo static-scaffold
b3cmd --project foo static-put public/ /
... and you'll have a docker-compose project accessible at "foo--master.example.com" and a static server at "foo--master--static.example.com", all HTTPS ready.

In Fully automated dockerized Let's Encrypt reverse proxy(Disclaimer: I wrote b3cmd)
We have a wildcard DNS entry pointed at our server and we use b3cmd[1][2] for static servers. It also handles docker-compose projects. SSL everywhere, CORS supported, branches / namespaces supported. Pretty great so far.
