I’m operating under the (perhaps mistaken) assumption that OP wants to “buy” an e-book in part to support those responsible for making it. And of course you can’t support an editor or cover designer or publicist directly, but they do get paid indirectly because books get sold.
I use Ansible to meet this need. Whenever I want to deploy to one or more remote hosts, I run Ansible locally and it connects via SSH to the remote host(s). There, it can run Docker Compose, configure services, lay down files on the host, restart things, etc.
