I've managed to keep my personal server to just docker, no compose. None of the services I run (Jellyfin, a Minecraft server, prowlarr, a Samba server [this is so much easier to configure for basic use cases via Docker than the usual way], pihole) need to talk to one another, so I initialize each separately with shell scripts. Run the script for a new service once, and Docker takes care of restarts on system reboot or if the container crashes, don't even have to interact with my base OS's init system or really care about anything on it. When I want to upgrade a service, I destroy the container, edit the script to specify the newer version I want, and run the script again. Easy.
