>I understand those documentations are not for laypeople for me. However it is annoying when people out there kept pushing the self-hosting for beginners narrative without providing the necessary tools for laypeople to keep themselves secured and reliable. And that, in a nutshell, is the problem. A few clicks, a configuration form and integrated tools to set up external dependencies (i.e., LetsEncrypt certs), et voila! You're running a self-hosted application. AFAICT, this is more about developers not creating the packaging/configuration/management tools necessary for effective use by non-technical users. Sure, I can write a sql query to modify the schema of an applications' database, but my highly educated and intelligent physician brother would just throw up his hands in disgust. Make self hosting easy and people will use it. And Docker-compose isn't "easy" for a lay person.
