After many failures, I eventually landed on OMV + Docker. It has a plugin that puts the Docker management into a web UI and for the few simple services I need, it’s very straightforward to maintain. I don’t cloud host because I want complete control of my data and I keep an automatic incremental backup alongside a physically disconnected one that I manually update.

Cool, how are you managing your disks? Are you overall happy with OMV?

Very happy with OMV. It’s not crazy customizable, so if you have something specialized, you might run into quirks trying to stick to the Web UI, but it’s just Debian under the hood, so it’s pretty manageable. 4x1TB drives RAID 5 for media/critical data, OS drive, and a Service data drive (databases, etc). Then an external 4TB for the incremental and another external 4TB for the disconnected backup.

Awesome, thanks. Upgrade process has been seamless?

Haven’t had to do a full OS upgrade yet, but standard packages can be updated and installed right in the web UI as well.
