Nah, best he can do is a subscription based virtual machine with as much RAM as you need*
*premium subscription required for >12gb, metered pricing for >20gb usage
I'd rather go back to raspberry pi levels of compute with BBS style text only sites.
I just tried this and it’s pure pain on the modern web. Granted it’s a Rpi3 so it’s ram limited, but I have to do a lot more optimization to get it to run stable enough for decent web browsing or streaming a video.
