I've been at this all day and I feel like I'm going crazy. I know Neocities does not have backend stuff, but I really want to make a Booru to have on the side but I don't even know where I could host that?? Self-hosting is way too scary :')

Would I like ??? need a new domain ??? can I just drop the files for this thing in whatever host of choice and have it work? i know the answer is no but i feel crazyyyy
i heard firebase/supabase could work as a back end. you could also try cloud platforms for database hosting
I host my self-hosted stuff like my radio n such on a VPS using Linode, but any cloud hosting provider would work. You can set up Nginx Proxy Manager to route traffic meant for different services. So my radio, analytics, cors proxy, all run on the same server behind the same IP. Each one has its own subdomain (radio.kingposs.com, analytics.kingposs.com, etc etc) and NPM routes the traffic accordingly :3
what do you want a booru for exactly? if you want it just for displaying and tagging all of your art, the thing i made for my gallery should work fine if you're ok with editing everything offline and then uploading the files manually
