I look for a clear problem, sensible deployment, useful documentation, a workable backup path and enough maintenance history to justify the time spent learning it.</p> <p>This list deliberately excludes tools already used here, including Beszel, Dockhand and <code>youtube-dl</code> workflows. Karakeep is also excluded as a recommendation because it is already in use and has proved to be good in practice.</p>
