If you're familiar with Docker and want something with UI for easy management of configs, plugins and server console, you might like Pterodactyl Panel, Pelican Panel or Pufferpanel. The easiest one to setup is Pufferpanel. Pterodactyl is more involved but you're flexible to host other game servers too if you want to.
Pterodactyl is the most asinine shit to ever set up, ever.
That's what I said. It's pretty involved. And their Discord is extremely toxic. The most toxic Discord I have ever seen from a FOSS project. But when you get it up and running, it's great. Just pray nothing breaks.
I used all three tools. Pufferpanel was by far the easiest to setup. But it's mostly limited to Minecraft servers.
