Sounds like overengineering. If you just need a shortcut for a command, that's exactly what aliases are for. If you need something more sophisticated, you probably are going to lean to scripts or functions.
VPN that supports different cryptographic algorithms, post-quantum included, TCP and UDP, and being able to present its traffic as totally legitimate. For instance, one that could work over TLS 1.3 with X25519MLKEM768.
Don't like Docker either. Why? As an absolutely unnecessary entity, it doesn't correspond with Occam's Razor. It's overengineered. It's clumsy and slow. It utilizes a lot of resources and leaves a lot of garbage in the filesystem. It's not secure. It's overhyped. docker-compose is an abomination. The same goes for Kubernetes.
