Sure, the official tools are the best. I was just wondering if building for
multiple distros is easier in Docker. Or for example if we can build
Ubuntu packages
on Debian stable.
Do you have some special needs wrt the server? E.g. number of processors,
disk space, etc? It is easy to upgrade the machine in the future, so we don't
have to overallocate resources now.
Do we also need a web server for serving the files? If yes, I would put that
on a separate server.
