I am writing a book exactly for this purpose right now. For someone making a project and asking "how do I host it now?". My pre-release is still ~3 months far away, so you cannot buy it now, but if you would like to learn the deployment yourself at some point, here it is: https://vpsformakers.com/ https://vpsformakers.com/ What I recommend is to learn the fundamentals right and start with Bash before jumping to more complex config management tools. Even if your deployment process won't be smooth in the beginning (copy files, setting something manually) do not underestimate the security aspect - you owe it to your users to protect their data. And avoid ANYTHING you don't need right now. Avoid Docker and the whole universe of tools around Kubernetes. I imagine with Rust you can easily deploy one binary with systemd unit, PostgreSQL service from the OS, set up NGINX and SELinux and you are done. Someone here said Docker is about uptime. What the *? Docker is additional layer where something can go wrong so by definition it won't be better than just a systemd service.
