Doesn't even need docker, and if buitt with flakes I don't even have to checkout the repo.

I build, configure, and deploy them with nix flakes for maximum reproducibility. It’s the way you should be doing it for archival purposes. With this tech, you can rebuild any docker image identically to today’s in 100 years.

I use portainer, and when I deploy an image, I write a short bash script for it.
This lets me easily do updates. I have a script for each image I run, it's less than a dozen. They're all from public repositories.
