So we already have software where: you just extract an archive on any standard hosting provider, load a webpage in a web browser for the web installer counterpart, put in basic info (first admin account, SQL login, etc) and have a fully ready fedi server? And you don’t mistakenly mean: order a VPS/dedi from a provider, setup Linux, install a specific Erlang runtime (or Ruby env), checkout a git repo, run a build tool to pull in dependencies, run some install shell scripts, edit config files in YAML or plain Elixir, feed an SQL file to PostgreSQL to create the needed database tables, add a systemd/sysv service and activate it, configure a reverse proxy from Apache/nginx to the newly spawned daemon, and a few more steps, and then you have a mostly functional fedi server?
At least there are some simpler alternatives to Pleroma/Rebased and Mastodon/derivs, but I’m sure I can go even further yet.
