I know for solo-founder discussions about cut-throat effort expenditure judgements in the here and now don't really need to consider their project being shuttered and later revived, but the first step of reviving old projects is never "put it on a public server" or "update all the packages to ensure the security patches are up to date", it's always just getting it running again. I've been in scenarios where that effort alone was significant.
