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.

Generally my suggestion is if you use kubernetes at work or want to learn it, self host that way to learn. If not don't add all the complexity and use docker, docker compose, podman, etc. Kubetnetes is overkill for 90% of the use xases Ost companies have but here we are.
