It's frustrating too because deployment technologies and tools continue to get better and better. It's never been easier to deploy an application + database to some arbitrary computer. You can do it declaratively, no SSH, no random shell scripts, no suspicious fiddling.

Also, sidenote: but for small stuff you can just deploy in your home. I've done it before. It's really not that scary, and odds are you have a computer laying around. The only "spooky" part is relying on my ISP router. I don't trust that thing, but that can be fixed.

May I ask, what you are using?

Ansible + Docker. The only "catch" is you still have to manage the host. It's trivial with Debian stable, and really the goal is to have a little on the host as possible and as much containerized as possible, so you can automate.
