Most of these problems are actually solved with containers, though.

An opinionated release of k8s (k3s, microk8s, etc) does wonders for making much of it just disappear.

You pay a slightly higher up front cost in complexity, in return for largely removing absolutely all the listed problems in this blog.

If you're going to run more than just one app... It's the route I'd recommend.

I think the market is already moving here, too. Synology is exposing very easy interfaces to run container workloads on their devices.

I think we're headed towards something like a combo NAS/router that handles storage and networking (by far the hardest parts of hosting).
