Howdie folks. got a shoemaker-walking-barefoot kind of question.
back before the container days I managed VM farms with puppet and chef,
but my private pet machine (about 25 years and counting) has Mailcow,
Discourse, Mediawiki and over 10 Wordpress blogs, DNS of ~20 domains and
more, still running and managed manually. I just got a good price on a
VPS upgrade and I wonder if I should migrate it all with rsync and such,
or if I should start from scratch with a management tool. Problem is I
worked on big AWS installs for so long, I don't know what are the
current hot tools other than Ansible for installing and updating a
single machine (idempotently of course). Got any recommendations from
your private experience?
Some thanks may apply,
Ira.
