Okay, I think it's time to ask for advice.

Fedifriends, I want to host a blog using Eleventy, a podcast using Castopod, a hub site that my root domain points to that's something like Linktree (for example: https://littlelink-custom.com) and have the ability to add sites in the future such as a wiki or an instance of something on the Fediverse (not Mastodon, too much pressure, maybe Bookwyrm or Peertube or some such).

I have a VPS hosted by a cloud host provider with 2 G RAM and 40 G disk storage. It seems that to do what I want, containerization is the way to go. So my question is, do I go the LXC route, or teach myself Docker, or is there another solution?

Most of the things I want to host already have Docker images, and what with Docker being so popular it seems like learning it would be smart. On the other hand, Docker and its variety of tutorials are aimed at developers. I am not a developer. I don't want to be a developer. I am at best a hobbyist sysadmin and that's putting it politely. It just feels a lot like learning how to run a whole Starbucks just to make a cup of coffee. Bit of overkill.

So what do you think? Docker, LXC, something else? Am I even on the right track?

(I am already good with domains, DNS, security certs and IP addresses, I've been working with that for a long time now.)
