And you have just identified the reason that most people won't use it

Use DigitalOcean One-click instances, and it essentially makes it for you with all the necessary steps. It's super simple.

I used that a while back and now run it on Docker on GCP since DO was a bit expensive.

Right, I’ll also teach my mom some DevOps and Kubernetes along the way since she has to use Digital Ocean and Docker for her knitting blog.

[kkarakk]

if your mum actually wants to own/monetise her knitting blog SOMEONE will have to do this anyways. Stop putting effort into things that only benefit someone else(Medium). I'm not advocating monetising your hobby but instead that no one else should own content you create and do awkward things with it that you don't sanction or condone

[dickeytk]

Which costs money, and medium does not.

[chrshawkes]

It sort of does when they take and or restrict your content which took time and effort to create. Time and effort creating content is certainly money.
