Your favorite "one click" self hosted open source app installer/server manager? (lemm.ee)

I'ved tried a decent amount (caprover, cosmoscloud, dokploy, coolify, yunohost, etc.) and there always seems to be more around the corner . Right now I like runtipi, tho I have some issues (komga cant detect my media folder), it's been the easiest for me to quickly try out many different selfhostable apps on one server. I didn't know many of these apps existed, there are so many different useful and entertaining ones for different niches/jobs.

Whats your favorite self hosting manager thats capable of one-quick installs through an appstore of some kind? Which one do you think is the easiest to use for non technical users? I'm leaning towards Yunohost for ease of use and setup, but a lot of stuff was out of date. Downside is it doesn't seem nearly as easy as the others to setup/manage apps yourself if you dont go the appstore route. Runtipi did recentlly make it so people can make and share repos for the appstore, tho I believe cosmos cloud and a few others already have had this as an option.

Cosmos Cloud has been great for me. I'm not technical but I enjoy learning and have been completely bitten by the self hosting bug. I'd consider myself fairly new to Linux and the cli so it really helped to bridge the gap. All I had to do was install Debian server and Cosmos Cloud and within a day I had a few services and it was thrilling to me. There have been problems along the way (mostly networking and DNS related stuff outside of Cosmos Cloud) but I've learned a lot through troubleshooting. I appreciate the built in security features like easily configurable Letsencrypt certificates, anti-bot, and anti-DDOS, because that was all a bit above my head.
