Through the Roses by Future IslandsSince forever, GitLab to me has been a great example for what it should take to self host software.
You run the GitLab container and it basically configures itself and has excellent docs on how to configure everything from a small personal setup to a full blown cluster setup for enterprise companies.
To me, if your software is a web app with a database, the default should be one container with the most basic database setup, or packed and properly pre configured in the container.
Sometimes the project requires also components that just can't be run in a home lab setup. And even if, running more components, maybe even unfamiliar ones, comes with risks.
I really wish that open source projects to self host would be easier to install and set up.
A lot of projects to have containers and compose files, but those are sometimes not the "recommended" installation option and become sometimes even neglected.
