What should I run and why? (lemmy.world)

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

I will run on a Gigabyte Brix with:

AMD Ryzen 4300U (4 core)
16 maybe 32 GB RAM
512GB SSD

I am open to other suggestions.

P.S. I apologise if this has been debated before, but I have not really found anything.

Thank you in advance

EDIT: I have read your recommendations and arguments, and it is noted, I am watching docker tutorials now :)

If you don’t have a surplus of time and energy, self hosting is not for you. You’re taking on administration that normal people effectively contract out
docker is worth learning and using. It’s one thing to learn, and with that knowledge you can run basically everything. It really does make your life easier

Working with traditional technologies does not take up too much of my time, but all I see in the response, is that what I am planning is wrong. I have taken note of your recommendation for learning Docker. Thank you.

Docker and the docker-compose yaml files. They'll be invaluable. Compose files allows you to create custom networking and run multiple containers.

Super useful and what most people use to run simple docker workloads.

You don't have to understand how to create containers, just understand how they work and the commands to use them effectively.
