I'm actually building something in between Docker and Kubernetes: https://github.com/psviderski/uncloud. Like you I wanted that middle ground without the operational overhead. It's basically Docker-like CLI and Docker Compose with multi-machine and production capabilities but no control plane to maintain.

Still in active development but the goal is to keep it simple enough that you can easily understand what's happening at each layer and can troubleshoot.

Looks promising and exactly what I want solved. Adding wireguard and Caddy is slick. How are you planning to go about Zero Downtime deploy? Maybe emulate Swarm?

Thanks! For zero-downtime deploys, it does simple rolling updates one container at a time in a similar way k8s or swarm does it. It starts the new container alongside the old one, waits for it to become healthy, Caddy picks it up and updates its config, then removes the old one. The difference is that this process is driven by your CLI command (not a reconciliation loop in the cluster) so you get an instant feedback if something goes wrong.
