I already have a VPS, i do not really want to use another one just for a single program (imagine if everything i wanted to run needed its own VPS). Also i do not really want to run docker in there... aren't dockers VMs themselves? Isn't this running a VM in a VM? Doesn't that kill any sort of performance? TBH as i wrote above what i'd prefer is some self-contained binary i drop somewhere in my VPS and have it work automatically. See Fossil SCM and Gogs as a couple of examples for what i'm looking for.

Docker is NOT a VM. Anything in a Docker container runs with the exact same performance as a service installed on your system. Docker does introduce problems, but performance is not one of them.
