Check out the new (still experimental) docker-app (June 2018)

It will allow you to push your docker-compose to DockerHub, as well as launch your app (through docker-compose) with settings variations between dev and prod.

See example:

You can create an Application Package based on this Compose file:

$ docker-app init --single-file hello
$ ls
docker-compose.yml
hello.dockerapp

The new new file hello.dockerapp contains three YAML documents:

• metadatas
• the Compose file
• settings for your application

See "Sharing your application on the Hub"

You can push any application to the Hub using docker-app push:

$ docker-app push --namespace myHubUser --tag latest

This command will create an image named myHubUser/hello.dockerapp:latest on your local Docker daemon, and push it to the Hub.
