[Deployment] One-click deployment options in README.md or docs

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

oCIS setup has some complexity, but could be much simpler in standardised environments.

Describe the solution you'd like

Prominent self-hosting buttons to fire up instances on public cloud services could lower the entry barriers.

Examples

• penpot.app provides self-hosting options for Docker and Elest.io (Hetzner, AWS Lightsail, Digital Ocean (High freq. cpu), VULTR (High freq. cpu), LINODE)
• "Deploy to DigitalOcean" Button
• "Deploy to Oracle Cloud" Button + (more…)
• Bitnami has buttons to launch on Google Cloud Platform, AWS and Azure (Drupal, Mastodon)
• Probably similar things can be done on OVHcloud and Scaleway…

We can do a setup documentation based on a standardised environment - but that term needs to be defined very precisely before we can go on. Just one topic out of the many has variaties that will cause headaches when using the term standardized : local IDM vs Keycloak vs AD vs Azure vs Athelia vs authentik...

• There is already a document describing Bare Metal with systemd and I would desperately like to get more of these !
• There is also an issue I opened Document Identity Management in an own section that is related to that request.

If there is focus on describing definied standardized setups (note the plural !), which needs highly skilled ressources, we can achive this - that definitely supports business.

Note that the ocis admin docs are the only location to go for such content.

What the public cloud provider offers…

Should do the same as our easiest CD example:

• https://owncloud.dev/ocis/deployment/continuous_deployment/#released

After default setup, you get something running:

• https://owncloud-yxppv-u5085.vm.elestio.app/

With Elest.io, you get $20 free credits that you can use to play with for 7 days. Try yourself… (or $250 free credits when you join via try.digitalocean.com/elestio )

• ONE standardized setup
• MULTIPLE standardized environments (public + private cloud/SaaS providers)

I quite like the idea but wonder how we'd handle IDM_ADMIN_PASSWORD without "publicly hardcoding it"?

In my example, elest.io handles it. It generates a .env files with the credentials, and they can be revealed in the elest.io web UI. I encourage you all to try it yourselves.
