Using docker the way Openshift does?

Question

I read this How does docker compare to openshift?

But I have a question : This is an extremely simplified description of what usually devs do with Openshift :

Select a "pod" (let's say a JBoss/Wildfly container)
From within Openshift you point to your github repo
Openshift would clone the repo, build it and deploy it
Openshift present you with a web URL to access this repo port 8080

There's of course a lot more going on but that's as simple as it gets

Is this setup doable in my own linux box, VM or a cloud instance (Docker Container --> clone, build and deploy from git repo)? What would I need without messing too much with networking and domains etc?

from my research I see the following tools:

Kubernetes
Dokku : I see it described as "Your own Heroko"

I also keep hearing about CaaS (Containers as a Service)

I understand I would be needing another tool or process to the build (CI/CD) capability, and to triggering builds with git push.

Questions asking us to **recommend or find a book, tool, software library, tutorial or other off-site resource** are **off-topic** for Stack Overflow as they tend to attract opinionated answers and spam. Instead, describe the problem and what has been done so far to solve it. — rollstuhlfahrer, Apr 13 '18 at 18:31

If you want to do it on your own box, why not use OpenShift and ``oc cluster up``? This allows you run up an OpenShift instance within yoru existing Docker instance. https://github.com/openshift/origin/blob/master/docs/cluster_up_down.md — Graham Dumpleton, Apr 13 '18 at 23:26
