I run everything in LXD containers on my home server(s), with Debian as the host (manually compiled, not the snap). Most of the setup is automated with Ansible that I hacked to read Python scripts instead of YAML. LXD is a treat to work with, and I feel its container model is perfect for home/small business servers that need to run lots of third-party software, much of which would work poorly in a "proper" stateless container.
