While not directly solving the problem, my usual setup involves installing webmin with nginx and managing my domains and nginx from there, changing the auto-generated domain configs to proxy to docker. I have yet to find an easier solution.
My biggest gripe with it is that it sets up a few things I don’t need, like PHP, disk quotas, etc.
I’d like to add Archcraft to the arch-based distro suggestion. It’s arch, but with a selection of sleek DE configs.
