Use docker compose. Not docker directly. All services have a good docker compose file somewhere online. If not, you may not use the service as a beginner (unless you want to spend a significant time writing everything which is of course good, but you do not have to)

podman is the future compared to docker

You run a server for yourself. It can boot every day without issues. It can even hibernate while you sleep at 4am.

You can perform updates every day without issues.

You want to run everything in a container, docker, podman, or friends.

The host does not really matter, it’s all linux. Use the one that you are comfortable with. I chose fedora because I use the workstation. My second server is still on ubuntu. I won’t change it until I change the machine because it doesn’t matter that much. They are all stable.

Ads should be banned

Cheers! :)

I am about to do the same, yet I haven’t done it. As soon as I set it up I’ll share it with you but that could take some days/ weeks whenever I have the time. I don’t expect any difficulties in that setup. To me the most difficult part is to set up wg-easy

I stayed with podman compose. Do the quadlets specification have an advantage?

As if anyone would care that support ended. People are annoyed by updates anyway

Fedora server has cockpit preinstalled. That’s what I use. With cockpit it’s very easy to adjust the firewall.

It’s not a direct solution to your problem but may show you what else is possible

Thanks! Meaning, this is no grafana but third party integration
