I actually do both.

For long-running or serious stuff, I run Portainer and build apps directly from GitHub source. I don’t blindly trust Docker Hub either.

Yantra is for the other case: short-lived, utility apps.
If I want to download a YouTube playlist, I don’t want to sit there writing a compose file for something I’ll use once. I want one-click → use → delete.

Different tools for different workflows.
Abstraction isn’t always laziness — sometimes it’s just respecting your own time.
