Github?

Even better: Github + Heroku Button (or similar but more open)

Dokku?
I've been waiting for this for literally a decade! Before that, it used to be true on desktop platforms like Windows and Linux - not so on the web and for apps.

There have been many attempts. Things like http://sandstorm.io/ are the latest attempts to try and change this.

I believe that Github is exactly what the OP is complaining about.
