Sorry, maybe a weird question. But I am gonna acquire a nice server soon and am interested on how to manage that. I want to run stuff like a webserver, matrix server and just a lot of cool stuff. But how do I approach that on a software level? Any tips would be nice. Thanks
I like the Ansible approach, mainly because I have a wide variety of self-hosted services. I’ve used Docker, but the problem is Docker is a pig when it comes to disk space. I end up having a 20-30 GB partition just to manage the packages and dependencies and spent half of my time clearing it out (via script of course) just to rebuild packages. That’s pretty much what pushed me toward Ansible, which I run from my laptop but keep up in Git.
