Not my preferred setup but I hope products like this help people get into "homelabbing" and self-hosting more of their stuff.

What's your preferred setup?

I'm not the parent, but I use a debian VM inside of a proxmox cluster to run docker services. The config and data services for the various docker images are mounted via NFS, and live in a ZFS pool configured in RAID10.

For non-technical users I could see freedombox (or sandstorm.io) being useful, but if you have enough knowledge to manage a vm + use docker-compose, the flexibility is much better.

can you please explain how is this flexibility better?

Wont more apps be supported in freedombox? maybe it does not allow plugins?
