Host T3 app on a VPS
I just delivered a freelance job using t3 and the server provider of the company contacted me to ask if I could get the app running if they provided me ssh and plesk. Is it as simple as just git clone npm build start or should I dockerize the app and serve in a different manner. I have only worked with vercel so far so I can say I'm quite inexperienced when it comes to deployment. The app doesn't have any fancy lambdas or edge parts. What does the process of hosting a nextjs server on vps look like and what kind of problems I might face? Also on a side note, should I move db to the VPS or is supabase free tier good enough. There's not much data traffic and db size is pretty small. Thanks in advance.

docker seems like the obvious answer
yeah follow the t3 website instructions to docker deployment and do that, makes it harder for them to interfere with the rest of their infra
Following t3 docs crashes at docker build at collecting page info.
Well it was more work than necessary and I've probably left a whole lot security vulnerabilities but I managed to host it. Wondering if docker was necessary
