Currently checking out coolify, dokploy, runtipi, and cosmos. Cosmos is the only one I've found other than yunohost with lemmy in the appstore that lets you selfhost.

Cosmos's lemmy app is outdated and doesn't work, yunohost is the only webclient type thing I've tried that has lemmy and works. Yunohost also has most other services like sharkey, pleroma, peertube, etc. and lets you easily install multiple services on one server with different domains. Only downside is it doesn't have multiserver management like the rest, but the rest have no app support for fediverse stuff outside of mastodon.
If you don't know how to do a lot of the docker stuff yourself, coolify, dokploy, runtipi, etc. aren't really a possibility, they don't work with ansibile, or the easy install without modifications (that idk how to do, I have yet to suceed)
caprover seems difficult to use, so do coollify and dokploy, might need to learn more about dockercompose, definitely doing some stuff wrong.
My issue with a lot of these solutions is just being new and not knowing what im doing, like outside of hetzner im not sure how to specify a seperate volume, the way these services are worded Im nervous about losing all my data by not doing the file/mount stuff correctly.
I believe you are using the wrong terminology. A hypervisor is a software suite that helps manage virtual machines. You are just looking for easy ways to spin up fediverse software. Docker with docker compose is all you need, and if you need a gui for it, dockge or portainer will be usable. Having at least a little bit of networking and container knowledge is necessary as well, as there is nothing out there yet that is “one click” for running those things. I started with Lemmy, as there is Lemmy-easy-deploy that does a lot of the heavy lifting for you.
Forsure, the terminologys a bit confusing, I thought it was for manaaging multiple servers , think dokploy was what im looking for, will check out lemmy-easy-deploy
Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't most of them available as containers? Why would you need any hypervisor support beyond containers?
I have vps from 4 different providers because of deals on lowendtalk, just wanted to monitor everything in one place at least
Ease of use, think dokploy was what I was looking for, want to monitor/manage with a panel or ui of somekind
Wouldn’t any VPS basically work as it’s providing you the Os (usually Linux) and it’s up to you to deploy the apps you want?
I want to manage them like I would wordpress sites in enhance, monitor all the vps from different providers, migrate website/databaseto another server using a ui (for ease of useh if necessary, its fairly common to use something like runcloud, ploi, serveravatar, etc. outside of the fediverse stuff at least

I tried using yunohost and some others but they all sucked. I went with just using the bare podman cli
Last time I checked, yunohost.org worked well. It either has the services you're interested in, or it doesn't... But it's really easy to get it running. Docker containers also usually work well. Though, you need some amount of technical knowledge. And I'd recommend to use something like docker-compose and not do everything manually... If you're a beginner, maybe just try YunoHost.
