What keeps me from running my own like this is stuff like, how easy would migration to another sever be and how easy is backup and recover.

Docker is pretty portable by design. If you use bind mounts you can just scp the docker-conpose.yml and your bind mount volumes to your new server and you're done. If using Docker-managed volumes you'll need to docker cp the data out of them first before scp, then docker cp them into your volumes once you docker-compose up your containers.

Seconded, I've used it for a couple of years and it's a great package that I find quite understandable (a docker-compose stack).
