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.

I recently moved from docker compose to podman quadlets. Took a bit of effort, but fully foss, and for me it's set and forget. Have about 30 containers across about 12 services. Have them set to auto update and it all runs through systemd.

    This is the direction I'm headed. Goodbye docker. Quadlets everywhere. Im in the process of converting docker run scripts currently. Any tips or gotchas you can share that you learned?

    Permissions were a pain to get right for my volumes and data I migrated. Other than that, It's really not that complicated, it was just a case of covering my compose files to systemd service files and starting the update timer.
