I am wanting to automate some homelab things. Specifically deploying new and updating existing docker containers.

I would like to publish my entire docker compose stacks (minus env vars) onto a public Git repo, and then using something to select a specific compose from that, on a specific branch (so I can have a physical seperate server for testing) automatically deploy a container.

I thought of Jenkins, as it is quite flexable, and I am very willing to code it together, but are there any tools like this that I should look into instead? I've heard Ansible is not ideal for docker compose.

Why? Tools for this exist. Jenkins is not that tool.

People are naming them all over this thread. Use the right tool for the right job, don't try to shoehorn a function for a dead-ass and dying tool into a different use-case just because you know it.

Exactly. Look into Komodo instead
