Most folks don't _need_ much more than a LAMP-equivalent running on a virtual host somewhere.

Why bother installing k3s and whatever deployment-tool-du_jour it is these days, when dropping some files on a host is good enough?

Sure, and I'm not advocating to build a Rube Goldberg device, unless it's purely for learning purposes. But why go to great lengths (and expense) to avoid having to SSH into a server for your personal projects when you could run them on a Raspberry Pi or a $5/mo droplet?

The issue isn't that people need more than a LAMP stack, it's that for some reason software developers in the 2020s are scared to or think it's beneath them to install a LAMP stack of their own.
