Sure, that comment came a bit rough. But I'm not even sure it was triggered by the Docker comment, rather than the developer/release engineer opposition. At least that's how I see it. And maybe I just don't see the added value of PaaS because I've been spinning up public web servers for too long now ;-)

Yeah, that's fair, and it was bad phrasing on my part. The engineer type distinctions are completely imaginary. It just really threw me off to have people respond to me sharing something I thought was helpful with claims that I'm somehow opposed to learning, when this project is nothing but learning.

I do think people who have experience deploying software have a blind spot here, just like I have a blind spot for people who have never learned how to center a div. jUsT uSe FlExBoX

Hey there, I've never deployed anything but will be going to in the (very) near future. I'm self-taught and really haven't fooled around with servers, ever. So instead of just going down the PaaS way I was hoping to kind of turn my computer/raspberry pie into a server as a fun learning project.

Any cool, beginner friendly resources you can share? Many thanks
