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.

If you want robust (and a ton to learn) go with k3s for a lightweight Kubernetes deployment and FluxCD.

If you want simpler go with docker-compose and doco-cd.

With a GitOps workflow you define it all in files in a bit repo then the server automatically deploys and updates. IMHO its much easier to maintain long term than click ops.
