Is it that difficult to run Mastodon over Docker? (self.selfhosted)

I am used to simple things running on Docker (Jellyfin, Nextcloud, etc.) I am looking at running my own personal Mastodon instance (maybe share it with a few friends and family), but I like using Docker. Looking at install guides, the steps required seem to be much harder than just editing docker-compose.yml and running the container. Is it actually that difficult to set up Mastodon, or is there a better guide? I can't just use Yunohost/CasaOS because I am using a VPS to host this.

Sorry about the multiple replies with the same content. My client app apparently decided to have a problem.
