There should be both. Minimal config + gui options for people just getting into the hobby or just want the thing. And a more open option for people who hit the limits of the first or sang to do interesting shit.
I go back and forth on my server. During summer I wish it was all Docker YAMLs so I can press “update” in Dockge and I can enjoy the weather.
But I also do non-typical things. Users have a rPi in their house that captures requests and routes them through Tailscale to my server for remote access without a VPS or opening ports.
I’m not too technical so I often struggle setting things up, and documentation can be less than helpful at times, sometimes I really wished there was a gui, but it’s doable.
