IMO, trying to avoid CLI in server administration is doing yourself a long term disservice. Its not that challenging and you'll learn a lot more about how everything works. Plus, you're pretty much not going to be able to avoid the terminal forever.
Yeah, I'm not trying to avoid terminal completely, just for the day to day tasks I'm gonna use it for. But someone in another thread pointed out that most things, after they're set up have a front end GUI, like your portainer example. I can get comfortable with such a situation.
Like others have said, running a DE with remote capabilities will be a lot of overhead.
If you set up portainer and watchtower using ssh, you can pretty much just manage everything from portainer while watchtower makes sure that portainer and the rest of your containers stay updated. It's a very hands-off operation, especially if you set up auto updates on top of that for the pi OS. You'll probably just have to ssh in periodically to run a system upgrade and maybe restart to update the kernel.
I would love a layman's guide to NGINX. every guide I come across is filled with unexplained jargon
Sounds good! I'll write something up & post on selfhosted
Just give me a couple days :)

Not sure if you getting mentioned in the post gives you a notification, but just wanted to drop the link here! Hope it helps, I tried to make the walkthrough pretty basic while still keeping it high level where it matters (like I assume anyone attempting this is familiar enough with selfhosting that they can install a docker container without me walking through the entire process)
appreciate it thanks, I'll take a look
yes, I can run docker.
