I'm a novice in this space I think. I've self-hosted for over a decade and around 2019 I moved over to Unraid, which is generally pretty visual (web portal or configuring and doing maintenance). I find the web portal very easy. How does one interact with your home server OS? I assume it's all via terminal because there are no pictures on the website?
Correct, it's only terminal. Lightwhale provides only the bare necessities for you to deploy what you need. So instead of dictating a UI, you're free to choose what you like, be it Portainer, Dockhand, Komodo or something else.
Lightwhale is perhaps more of an "expert system" compare to consumer products that come preconfigured with a UI. On the other hand, if you want to try a server where you are in full control, Lightwhale it is the easiest way to get a pure Docker server up and running.
