The only complaint I've had so far is the difficulty of spinning up your own instance. There isn't any up to date documentation for the process as the official documentation seems to be outdated unfortunately. Ansible doesn't seem to work as it give an error. Docker works mostly bit will not federate with other instances.
I put up a guide on my instance to help deploy with Portainer and Nginx Proxy Manager on a separate Docker. I suspect it might help you with the federation bit, as I struggled with that too.
I've got it setup with docker now but yeah it's a pain. I realize it's a bunch of apps working together but a single docker container which exposes the 3 ports should be the easy way. I've messed around with compose files so I figured it out but it's a bit daunting having to sync the hjson file with the compose stuff and then having to use another reverse proxy to expose that stuff.
Ansible worked for me this weekend! Definitely a fair bit of trial and error, though, especially at this was my first docker setup.
I tried to fo the ansible route but it just kept giving me an api error. I wasn't able to figure out how to get into nginx proxy manager to add the custom location for it.
