At least i know now how to use it with ISPconfig setups and their
howto's to get fantastic VPS Linux setups, maybe how it's working with
my VPS helps

I may be able to help with the workaround, writing a script to set

hosting configs, each with their own precious special needs, that
making a single installation script for all of them is non-trivial.

That's not *simply* selfishness, because I believe there are perhaps
only a handful of ISPs who provide a high percentage of the Livecode
(shared) servers found in the real world, and I'm optimistic to think
that solving this problem for those cases would be enough to make a
difference, and specifically would help anyone coming to LC server as
a new user.
Google tells me (in a 30 second search, limited to the first two pages)
that only on-rev (aka Livecode hosting) and HostM specifically advertise
themselves for Livecode servers. Maybe those two would be a good start ?
I suppose they would.
I don't use either, but you've inspired me. :)
I use Dreamhost and Interserver, and conceivably if I write a script
that works with both of those we may find that's fine for most
others. And then for edge cases we can maintain the code on GitHub so
anyone who needs a change for another host can just add that part.
In order of prevalence I'd guess that LC deploys are most common on:
on-rev.com (very big)
hostm.com (kinda big)
dreamhost.com (several)
jaguarpc.com (a few)
...and after that we're looking at a long but slim tail.
I'll give it some thought for when my client work is behind me and I
have some spare time.
It would also be nice to write a script for installing LC Server on
systems that don't have it preinstalled (pretty much everyone right
now except on-rev and hostm). Even better would be to handle both
shared and VPS hosting. If Let's Encrypt can be automated for so many
systems with CertBot (an excellent piece of work), surely we can
install LC Server.
