What are you talking about? Just make sure you are someone important on social media and create a tweet stir such that some Google execs look at your problem. That's how you get support.
Scenario #1: Installing kubernetes, helm and then installing your app

1. Spend maybe 2-3 full days install kubernetes, helm

2. Spend maybe 3-4 hours installing your app through helm because you're new to installing things in kubernetes.

3. The next app that you want to install on your server is only 20 minutes away, now that you understand how kube and helm work.

Scenario #2:

1. Install app directly on server, hunt down dependencies and other weird things, probably takes 1 day at least, to do the whole installation.

2. The next app that you want to install will take the same amount of time again.

I'd go with Scenario #1 as it is more scalable if I want to install more apps on my server.

I think helm (helm.sh) solves that problem. Helm is basically package manager of kubernetes. So to install any app, as long as there is a helm chart for that app, you simply do: helm install myapp and helm will install the app on your kubernetes cluster.
Why not just go with a docker image, no manual installation of individual dependencies necessary.

If you're ok to pay some money, try codementor.io. If you're stuck on some weird problem in a new language/framework that you're not able to google out of, you can hire some mentor there.

But voice conveniently leaves out exposing to users the capabilities of the software. Have fun exploring all the features Google maps has by barking at the app where 99% of your commands are rejected.
