    Ansible everything and automate as you go. It is slower, but if it’s not your first time setting something up it’s not too bad. Right now I literally couldn’t care less if the SD on one of my raspberry pi’s dies. Or my monitoring backend needs to be reinstalled.

      IMO ansible is over kill for my homelab. All of my docker containers live on two servers. One remote and one at home. Both are built with docker compose and are backed up along with their data weekly to both servers and third party cloud backup. In the event one of them fails I have two copies of the data and could have everything back up and running in under 30 minutes.

      I also don’t like that Ansible is owned by RedHat. They’ve shown recently they have zero care for their users.

        I didnlt realize that about ansible. I’ve always thought it was overkill for me as well, but I figured i’d learn it eventually. Not anymore lol.
