What's the easiest way to deploy a docker container to a VM? Preferably without ten layers of cloud provider interconnected services or expensive and complex kubernetes layers? I just want to send a container and get back an IP address I can send some traffic to the exposed port(s).

Dokku. I'm a DevOps noob, just recently picked up Docker, and had such an easy time with Dokku, I decided on it for my current deploy process. Once you setup a few Dokku commands on the server, you can git commit, git push to the dokku remote and it runs your docker container automagically.

Docker save the container image to a zip file, ftp it over to the VM, then docker load it?
