Your favorite "one click" self hosted open source app installer/server manager? (lemm.ee)

I'ved tried a decent amount (caprover, cosmoscloud, dokploy, coolify, yunohost, etc.) and there always seems to be more around the corner . Right now I like runtipi, tho I have some issues (komga cant detect my media folder), it's been the easiest for me to quickly try out many different selfhostable apps on one server. I didn't know many of these apps existed, there are so many different useful and entertaining ones for different niches/jobs.

Whats your favorite self hosting manager thats capable of one-quick installs through an appstore of some kind? Which one do you think is the easiest to use for non technical users? I'm leaning towards Yunohost for ease of use and setup, but a lot of stuff was out of date. Downside is it doesn't seem nearly as easy as the others to setup/manage apps yourself if you dont go the appstore route. Runtipi did recentlly make it so people can make and share repos for the appstore, tho I believe cosmos cloud and a few others already have had this as an option.

Just invest the five minutes to read the docker compose instructions.
It aint that hard.

It isn’t hard when every works perfectly but there is a tremendous amount of complexity in some of these apps and a huge range of quality, documentation and required env vars and mounts.

And so, so many ways for things to break.

I dont want to fill them out every time when testing 50 different apps? Im pretty sure I mention its for trying stuff out in the post, my bad if I didnt, it takes literally 5 minutes to install 10 apps and try them out lol

Totally fair.
But the devs usually provide a docker compose and .env to demo as well.

I modified it, the person who contributed the app did it wrong, ngl I assumed itd be harder and more time consuming than the minute it took
