Managing containers at home

I want to pick an open-source replacement for Portainer Business (starting, updating and backing up the apps on a home server). Below is a list from Open Source Everything (CC BY-SA 4.0), in the order its website shows it. The order is a starting point, not a verdict. - Dockge: Dockge is a web-based control panel for running groups of Docker apps on a server, managed through their setup files. It is for people who run their own home server and want an easier way to start, stop and update those apps. [Advanced setup; runs on a server you set up; replaces partly; MIT; https://github.com/louislam/dockge] - Komodo: Komodo is a tool for building and deploying software across many servers, managed from one place. It is aimed at people and IT teams who run several servers and want to automate that work. [Advanced setup; Mac; replaces partly; GPL-3.0; https://github.com/moghtech/komodo] - Arcane: Arcane is a tool for managing Docker, the system that runs apps in isolated packages on a computer. It is aimed at people who run apps on their own home server and want a web page to control them. [Advanced setup; Mac · Linux · Android; replaces partly; BSD-3-Clause; https://github.com/getarcaneapp/arcane] - Diun: Diun is a tool that watches the container images used by your apps and notifies you when a newer version is available. It is meant for people who run their own servers and want to keep their apps up to date without checking each one by hand. [Advanced setup; Windows · Mac · Linux; replaces partly; MIT; https://github.com/crazy-max/diun] Setup rating: "Easy setup" means you can install it like a normal app, use it in a browser. "Advanced setup" means you must run it on your own server or use the command line, or it is a tool for developers. Full details: https://opensourceeverything.org/data/groups/docker-management.json Before recommending anything, ask me these three questions (one at a time, in plain words): 1) Which device or devices will I use it on (Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iPhone)? 2) How comfortable am I with technical setup: only installing apps from a store, happy to follow a step-by-step guide, or comfortable with servers and the command line? 3) What is my budget: free only, or willing to pay for hosting or support? Then recommend one to three projects from this list only, and for each say why, using how fully it replaces the app, its setup rating, and the devices it runs on. If nothing on the list fits me, say so plainly instead of stretching.

Read the list of open-source projects at https://opensourceeverything.org/data/groups/docker-management.json. Compare it with my project or idea below. Tell me which projects overlap, what I could reuse instead of rewriting, and what mine does that none of them do. My project or idea:
