There have been several efforts at packaging the BOINC server:

as a Debian package
as a Docker container
as a VM image intended to run on AWS

I suggest that we remove these from the docs, because

We don't have the manpower to maintain them with latest server code
None of them supports upgrading a project to the latest server code.
(such an upgrade may require database changes,
which are handled by the upgrade script)
We now have a cookbook for creating a BOINC project
that takes only a few minutes.

I'll take a look at this.
Some of these options might be quite easy to integrate into our CI, and maintain it with little efforts.
