Surprised no one has mentioned proxmox (at least not the top 10 threads I saw first)
Basically debian with a webui specifically for spinning up VMs and LXCs and managing storage and such, then install whatever distro in an LXC and run docker in that.
Oh definitely, it was overwhelming at first for me too, but that’s how one learns imo
Now that I’ve been using it for a year and a half it’s much better but those first few months were quite the learning experience lol
