Docker can be very privacy-friendly once you get the hang of it. I'm using Docker to host AdGuard Home and block ads and limit the data I share across my devices, hosting an RSS Reader to follow blogs w/o being tracked (like Feedly does), hosting invidious to watch YouTube videos w/o being tracked, hosting jellyfin to store downloaded videos in a UX-friendly w/o being tracked (like Plex does), hosting searxng to search the web w/o being tracked (like Google does), etc
Docker is basically plug-and-play containerized software. DockerHub/docker as a company is kind of the necessary middleman, so there website will be underwhelming. You'll get a better feel for the community and options by searching GitHub or perusing /r/selfhosted. For many projects, there's often an active repository where you can follow instructions, share code, ask questions, talk to fellow users etc.
Once you get the hang of it, it removes a lot of the troubleshooting, compatibility and guesswork of new software that hasn't been created explicitly for your architecture. It is not very resource-intensive and replicate-able across all types of devices. It is kind of like flatpak, with a greater emphasis on FOSS/community/amateur projects.
