"You can still create a Digital Ocean droplet, Docker container, or VM Image - and do the same thing (upload & forget)."
Wouldn't it be easier - and free - to "upload and forget" onto github ?
If someone had a software release, why wouldn't they choose github to be the release point - even if it's just a single tarball ?
