It's still in beta (under active development), so for fairly serious projects it's not yet viable in production in my opinion. But I'm using it for two personal sites, and it works perfectly. It's exactly the kind of tool I was looking for: open source, self-hosting, easy to install, easy to use and well maintained.

IMO it adds a bunch of complexity (as these types of catch all frontend solutions usually do) to a problem that can be easily solved by becoming proficient in using Docker/Podman and spending a little bit of time reading the documentation for the services you want to run. Its a cool idea but uncessary IMO. There are also a ton of people that like it and I'm just one opinion.
I reccomend you try it but I also think you'll realize you could host that hobby project with half the hardware requirements and half the effort with something like docker-compose or swarm.
I’m evaluating some of the options for toy projects so I’m curious to read people’s experiences.
