Hosting old Node Projects 👴🏼
If you want to dig into it anyways, Dokku is an interesting mention. They provide an Open Source PaaS that you can install on your server to simplify self hosting containers.

Deploy Node.js applications on a VPS using Coolify
When I came across Coolify, I thought of giving it a try. I am aware of Dokku, but I never really tried it because it doesn't have a UI. I work primarily as a UI developer, so having a nice UI to work with is a plus for me.

The Hater's Guide to Kubernetes
I run all my projects on Dokku. It’s a sweet spot for me between a barebones VPS with Docker Compose and something a lot more complicated like k8s. Dokku comes with a bunch of solid plugins for databases that handle backups and such. Zero downtime deploys, TLS cert management, reverse proxies, all out of the box. It’s simple enough to understand in a weekend and has been quietly maintained for many years. The only downside is it’s meant mostly for single server deployments, but I’ve never needed another server so far.

Netlify just sent me a $104K bill for a simple static site
Yeah there are a bunch of selfhostable things:
Caprover (https://caprover.com/)
Dokku (https://github.com/dokku/dokku)
But people still choose Netlify and Vercel for ease of use I think.
Maybe we need something that's just Netlify. The closest I've seen to the "right" UX is Ness:

The 2024 Web Hosting Report
The modern iteration of these tools has taken the developer experience learnings from the Platform as a Service (PaaS) category, and will bring them to your own VM, giving you your own personal PaaS. Example of this include Dokku, Coolify, Caprover, Cloud66 and many more!
- Ask HN: Is there an open source alternative to Digitalocean app platform?

Ask HN: How are you hosting multiple small apps?
Based on the fact that your ideal is to have a similar experience to heroku than managing your own server setting up reverse proxies take a look at these options:
1) https://dokku.com - lets you turn your light sail instance basically into heroku
2) https://render.com
3) https://fly.io
4) If you have aws credits this is their heroku equivalent: https://aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk
above is not what I do but would be the options I would pursue if I understand your preference and requirement correctly.

The Best Way to Deploy Your Own Apps
All in all, I really recommend trying out Dokku if you are a developer interested in hosting your own projects. It makes it super easy to get everything you need to get up and running without having to worry about the specifics. And the price is impossible to beat!

Fly.io Postgres cluster went down for 3 days, no word from them about it
Honestly these days I am leaning towards this approach: https://github.com/mrsked/mrsk/
It's all just docker.

The Curse of Scalable Technology
Did you consider MRSK[1], k3s[2], or dokku[3]? They are all significantly simpler to operate than Kubernetes, curious to hear your take.

Thoughts on MSRK?
Yes, that thing with the setup is misleading in the docs. I'll make a PR now. There's this issue about it: https://github.com/mrsked/mrsk/issues/301

MRSK vs. Fly.io
I don't think there's a writeup out there, but mrsk just uses docker under the hood. So, if you have a CMD in your Dockerfile, it will use that.
If you have an image that can run multiple things, like a rails app that can run the app process for web traffic by default, but it can also run job workers with the right command, you can provide the cmd in the mrsk config. You can see this in the jobs role in the example: https://github.com/mrsked/mrsk#using-different-roles-for-ser....
