If communities are going to own their platform, it needs to be possible and relatively easy for them to run and manage their own instance on the server of their choice.
Now, a whole other option is creating a docker-based production setup that can be used with https://coopcloud.tech/ - this would make it possible for anyone using a co-op cloud system to spin up a fedi-trustroots instance, alongside any other related services they might want. I think that goes in a nice direction.
(other options are available like https://yunohost.org/ - why not all! ... at some point).

Current Trustroots auto-deployment with manual server and dependencies setup is quite complicated and takes long time. There are many steps, many dependencies on the environment and plenty of things that can go wrong.
Potential good enough solution: dockerize the app
