I never much minded dedicating a (or some) VM to it anyway, let me assign a dedicated IP. My email stack (mailu) runs best with a dedicated IP to the system, similar for my BBS setup (though broken atm)... For web apps, I run them all in a single Ubuntu Server VM with docker, ufw and caddy on the host OS. I run a similar setup with a few VMs on a mini pc at home as well... It all works well enough for what I need. Lets me somewhat isolate the containers VM from other purpose-specific VMs.
