I have a small handful of VPSes for personal stuff that, more and more, I'm moving away from manual configuration to using ansible.
The reasons for this are several, but the most pressing are that if one falls over I can spin it up again quickly somewhere else, and I can have a lot of commonality in the configurations between them, so they all have backups configured the same way, or setting up letsencrypt requires editing things in only one place.
It also means I don't have to dig through a bunch of config when I want to work out how stuff is set up three years later, I can just look in one version-controlled directory in a central location.
