I'm still a noob with webhosting, who can't understand the difference between basic bitch web hosting and hosting on a dedicated server. That's something I've realised as I've decided to install a federated service. Just a federated service, as a warmup.

Lots of required software plus PostgreSQL. Fair.

It's possible to get in via SSH, "to run binary programs" and such, except no commands I run there work. No apt-get, no git, nothing. Only simple file operations. Makes me wonder what the purpose of all that is, exactly.

Looked into renting a dedicated server from the same provider, tried to get a configuration that'd simultaneously be cheap and provide more than enough storage space... and I can't rent it due to the current world situation.

Well, uh...
