I would suggest giving Proxmox a go and virtualise your VMs, as you can easily make snapshots and recover if something goes south.
You can also check tteck.github.io/Proxmox/ containing easy deployable scripts to make your life easier.
I would also try to run everything out of Docker compose and create a repo containing all configuration files.

I credit ProxMox with making me bolder about what I wanted to accomplish and having the courage and time to take risks while knowing I could always restore from backup in an instant.
