Ha, that's awesome. Yeah, for the limited amount of stuff I maintain, I really like the simple, single-file Ansible script— install these handful of packages, insert this config file, set up this systemd service, and you're done. I know it's a lot harder for larger, more complicated systems where there's a lot of configuration state that they're maintaining internal to themselves and they want you to be setting up in-band using a web gui. I experienced this recently trying to get a Sentry 10 cluster going— it's now this giant docker-compose setup with like 20 containers, and so I'm like "perfect, I'll insert all the config in my container deployment setup and then this will be trivially reproducible." Nope, turns out the particular microservice that I was trying to configure only uses its dedicated config file for standalone/debugging purposes; when it's being launched as part of the master system, everything is passed in at runtime and can only be set up from within the main app. Le sigh.
