I’m already hosting pihole, but i know there’s so much great stuff out there! I want to find some useful things that I can get my hands on. Thanks!

    It makes sense in terms of reproducibility.

    Imagine if your server gets compromised, you accidentally break it, or you just want to move to a cheaper provider or a different server. Do you want to have to tweak it all over again, and fix bugs that you figured out how to fix 6 months ago and you don’t remember?

    I’d rather have some yaml files that do it for me. And it’s a new skill as well.

      That makes sense thanks. I did have trouble figuring out where to start with ansible, do you have any advice about that?

        You’re welcome!

        I’m still an ansible newbie myself. I first heard about it in this video; https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7p9-m4cimg&pp=ygURV29sZmdhbmcgYW5zaWJsZSA%3D

        Then I just figured out by googling and reading the docs / stack exchange.

        I started by doing something simple, e.g. write an ansible playbook to update a raspberry pi on my network. Then went from there to launch a small VPS, googling each step that I’d normally do to configure a server, and run them all one after the other on ansible.
