I've been using Tide with great success lately. Also - for my own projects I haven't used docker lately and just dump the binary with it's configs to the debian box with a systemd configured and so far it's been painless, ymmv.
Not blaming anyone - the maintainers don't owe us anything - it just wouldn't be my crate of choice if I was starting today. If any of the maintainers read this, shoot me a message because I'd love to help out and get the ball rolling again on tide.
I know of more than a few projects that have looked into just dropping support for it entirely.
