[GTALUG] Opinions on container management for self-hosting

[Mark Prosser]

Hi GTALUG group,

Currently, I'm using docker-compose to deploy my self-hosted apps. I'm 
considering upgrading this to something easier to maintain.

What is everyone using?
- Docker/Podman & diligence?
- Pulumi / Ansible Terraform / OpenTofu to automate things?
- Docker Swarm?
- Watchtower for updates?
- Rancher?
- Kubernetes for a local install?

The main issue I'm having is keeping on top of updating my containers, 
along with keeping track of how my deployments stitch together (aside 
from my Caddy reverse proxy). I think this is very easy to fix; however, 
I'm wondering if the community has some feedback on how they made their 
container management turn-key... without taking on too much technical debt.

Warm regards,
