I want a personal cloud, but one that can be hosted in an actual cloud.
Ideally, I think we would something like Sandstorm but that can be deployed on everything from a home server to a Docker-based cloud service like Google Cloud Run or... Amazon Fargate (I'm not too familiar with their services).
I don't use the cloud for scaling, but so that I never have to worry about power, internet, or machine-level security.
Just be aware that cloud providers like to end-of-life their managed service versions pretty quickly, so you should plan on doing maintenance work on your deployment every year or so if you decide to go that route.
This hasn't been the case for the Docker-based services like GCP Cloud Run. As long as you have a container that has an HTTP server on 0.0.0.0:8080 you're good. You can run anything you want in the container.
