Hello Andreas, Very soon, I will be doing something similar for the library of the *Seminar für Sprache und Kultur* (https://spracheundkultur.org) here in Burbach, Germany. They, too, operate on a restrictive budget and have a strong desire to keep their data in Europe. I researched hosts more than a year ago, and there was one host in Austria that made my final list:
http://www.emerion.com/de/vps They are located in Vienna, too. Our instance will be hosted here: http://www.server4you.de/vserver/#compare Their headquarters is in Köln, and their data center is in Strasbourg, France. I cannot add much else to the advice of the others, with respect to installation. Currently, I have a test instance installed locally, which was easy enough, but it will be better for our production server to exist in a more reliable environment. One suggestion I will make is to secure your client connections with free certificates from Let's Encrypt and the Certbot client, which makes obtaining and renewing certificates simple.
