  +1 for DigitalOcean and docker containers.

  I also run on DO but haven't deploy with docker. What are the greatest benefits in your opinion? (I only run little experiences for now, but would also like to run small client backends).

    I have run DO + Docker and the reason I do it is because it makes deployments dead simple. Through up Ngnix as a reverse proxy to the port that is exposed through docker and you're done. I'm deploying an Elixir/Phoenix app, so it makes dependency management dead simple too with not having to worry about versions of Elixir/Phoenix and it makes changing droplets a breeze too, since the only pre-reqs to install are docker.

    The biggest benefit for me is isolation. I keep the main system clean. Just install fish shell and glances there. And all messy stuff required by projects is isolated in individual containers. They can be rebuilt from scratch if needed and don't pollute the main system (except for well-defined data folders).
