Best way to manage all my services as containers? (lemmy.ca)

What to people use and recommend for this? I've read a bit about portainer, but I'm still learning - and don't know what the best solutions are.

Today I have a handful of selfhosted services running on my home machine - mostly installed directly, but a couple running as docker containers. As the scale of my selfhosting has grown, I've realized that things would be a lot easier to manage if each service was run as its own container, so that installed services are isolated.

The solution I'm looking for would make it easy (possibly a web UI) for me to monitor, modify, update, and remove containerized services, including networking and storage.

Edit: Also I would only want a FOSS solution.

Thanks, I've heard of this too. Its hard to tell what the differences in use-case all of these are. I'll have to do more research into how they work.

Well, I use it on all my rigs but it's not directly what I think you are asking about.

I just use Proxmox (hypervisor) to run vm/lxc which run docker - and I just have backup images of those.

It has pros & cons but it's not a docker backup, it's just that by chance it's ok for the little use I need it.

I would go for one of the other recommended solutions but perhaps consider a Proxmox layer underneath if you wanna a full image backup of the server(s?) itself.
