“It’s the worst one, except for all the others”


it’s free


My successful path for homelab stuff is to use kubernetes (k3s locally and digital ocean DOKS for cloud resources) with argocd and gitops. Everything I change is via a git commit+push so I can always rollback, and if this machine dies, once I replace/repair the hardware I can pull all backed up content from object storage, install K3s again, reconfigure the authentication for Argocd, and it will repopulate all the running services.
I am absolutely not saying this is the right path for you as I came into nearly all my modern knowledge through my career, but it is a path
Forgejo, I can’t help ya with that one
Even though me and another guy set up Argo at work, I wasn’t gonna do it all over again - I pretty much just copied our manifests from work, swapped out the secrets and github urls, and was on the path to success. And the benefits cannot be understated
