I am in the process of setting up a home server, and I am struggling to decide. I have previously used yunohost but in the meantime, freedom box has matured quite a bit. I have also looked at Tipi.

The use case right now is, running a wireguard server and probably some notes of sorts (to be decided). A web GUI for management and updating would be much desired.

Disclaimer: I don't have too much surplus of energy, due to a hectic life, so I would prefer something easy and without the requirement of docker/kubernettes

I will run on a Gigabyte Brix with:

AMD Ryzen 4300U (4 core)
16 maybe 32 GB RAM
512GB SSD

I am open to other suggestions.

P.S. I apologise if this has been debated before, but I have not really found anything.

Thank you in advance

EDIT: I have read your recommendations and arguments, and it is noted, I am watching docker tutorials now :)

Thank you for your input. I work in IT as a support specialist consultant, and have dabbled quite a bit with technologies. I run linux as my primary operating system at home. Your insinuation of a mismatch might sound apt, but the wider picture is that there a some reason to my madness. However, the "push back" again my "no docker please" has been noted, and I will take a closer look at it, and see if I can't make myself understand the basics. Thank you!
