Is this different from using a remote docker context?

My workflow in my homelab is to create a remote docker context like this...

(from my local development machine)

> docker context create mylinuxserver --docker "host=ssh://[email protected]"

Then I can do...

> docker context use mylinuxserver

> docker compose build

> docker compose up -d

And all the images contained in my docker-compose.yml file are built, deployed and running in my remote linux server.

No fuss, registry, no extra applications needed.

Way simpler than using docker swarm, Kubernetes or whatever. Maybe I'm missing something that @psviderski is doing that I don't get with my method.
