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.

Honestly, not entirely certain I did it right, but it was super easy. I literally spun up Komodo, spun down Portainer without shutting any of the other containers/stacks down, then added the same stacks back through the GUI option into Komodo with the same exact compose/title/env options. It literally just recognized that the containers that were already running on my server were the correct ones and "added" them back to the stack in Komodo. I vaguely remember reading that there is a more "correct" way to do it, but I only read about it after the fact.
