What OS to use for VPS Selfhost Server? (Nextcloud...)
Hey there. I have for the past year tried myself with some selfhosting of mainly a personal Nextcloud Instance. I also installed and used an RTSP-Server for Livestreaming, Traccar for Live-GPS sharing and Recording and a Paperless-NGX Server and Jellyfin. I use many of those Services daily.
Currently for my OS I am using Ubuntu 22.04, but I am not happy with my Setup. It's difficult to setup, because I am not the most skilled in everything Linux and Serveradminstuff.
My Nextcloud Instance is just running without Docker, some Services run with Docker and some with Docker Compose. I try to use reverse Proxies but can't get some things to work. (I use Nginx) (I ofcourse have a Domain as well with subdomains for everything)
So, my Question is: Is there a more Userfriendly and/or streamlined Approach or Server/OS that I could give a try and use? My Question goes not really in the Direction of which OS specifically, but maybe if there are Solutions to make it easier? I've read about Ansible-NAS, Unraid, Proxmox, Portainer, etc...
It is all currently running and mostly secure, but I just wish to make upkeep and stuff like that easier for myself.

Specific to your proxy issue, I'd highly recommend nginx proxy manager, it's a gui for nginx and helped me with a lot of issues getting other proxies to work initially. I still use it a couple years in simply for the ease of use
