✅ Hosting ASP.NET Core with MSSQL on a Linux VPS

Hello,
I have a question regarding ASP.NET Core deployment on a Linux VPS.
Is it possible to host an ASP.NET Core web application together with MSSQL on a Linux VPS without major issues?
Is Docker the only viable solution for this setup?

I'm open to suggestions for reliable Linux VPS providers and your general thoughts or experiences regarding this setup as well.
Thanks in advance!
