I need some advice with a decision about self hosting.

Situation: I got a handful of websites and mail accounts as well as a Mastodon instance, a Conduit Matrix server and a bunch of other small utilities on my old server. I used Plesk to manage all this before, but now my old provider is charging a Premium for Plesk, so I'm migrating away.

Option A: My first idea was to ditch any sort of management tools and configure everything myself. I would make use of the Arch Linux AUR where possible to help with keeping everything up-to-date.

Option B: I gave YunoHost a go and I've been impressed with the amount of supprted software as well as its performance and reliability. It would be a big help, but I'm worried it would end up making things more complex since it's based on slightly-outdated Debian 11 and installing applications currently unavailable on YunoHost might require dirty hacks.

Note: Some of you might suggest containers. That is an option, but I'm not going to use Docker and make myself dependent on a commercial product again.
