Tbh you might ought to look at caprover. Or perhaps we could open a nest this evening and chat?
I’ll dig you up some links when I’m back at the desk either way. ❤️

Do you need docker to be installed for caprover to work? From what I’ve read briefly it seems to be very easy to use. Does it also help with masking the ip address ?
It can, because you should be able to put it behind cloudflare proxy.
You only have to install docker to use caprover. It does the rest. But you can still deploy docker images as you get more powerful moving forward.
Caprover also has many one click install stuff (mostly docker itself, but automated)
So docker->caprover->cloudflare proxy -> one click install picsur from capsur ?
From caprover I mean
I don’t think PicSur is on there. There are others such as Immich, etc. But it would be easy to deploy PicSur on caprover using the web interface.
I would plan plenty of tinker time, but everything you’re wanting to do is very achievable. I’d want a weekend or a couple of evenings if I was doing it for the first time again.
