I am in the process of setting up a home server, and I am struggling to decide. I have previously used yunohost but in the meantime, freedom box has matured quite a bit. I have also looked at Tipi.
The use case right now is, running a wireguard server and probably some notes of sorts (to be decided). A web GUI for management and updating would be much desired.
Disclaimer: I don’t have too much surplus of energy, due to a hectic life, so I would prefer something easy and without the requirement of docker/kubernettes

That has been a heavy base of my research. Thank you :)
to start with
PiHole DNS server
Jellyfin Home media server
forgejo Git server to hold your docker compose files.
So, you are recommending the opposite?
I don’t need jellyfin, so that confuses me a bit.
This is a journey that will likely fill you with knowledge. During that process what you consider “easy” will change.
So the answer right now for you is use what is interesting to you.
Yes plenty ways to do the same thing in different ways. Imo though right now jump in and install something. Then play with it.
Just remember modern CPUs can host many services from a single box. How they do that can vary.
Thank you for your encouragement :)
If you don’t have a surplus of time, Docker should be your top priority. It will save you many many hours.
Thank you for your feedback. I appreciate it.
