I could post my fully automated self hosting infrastructure, but it would be boring. Few bash ssh scripts and LEPP stack. None of this complexity and yet 10+ years uptime. Interesting nonetheless but think i'll pass on this. I have done these setups at cloudproviders for clients; that is definitely the risk averse version; if something goes wrong every month with AWS, it's just 'ok'; if something goes wrong every 5 years with your non-cloud, it's panic & heads need to roll (even though it costs a fraction).

Yup ! This I've used bash+ssh for the last 10 years for my solo founder and commercial products. Is sexy or even nice ? Absolutely not, but damn its simple and most Linux semi professionals can understand it with a glance. Bash as infrastructure+maintenance is almost like SQL for data. Everyone agrees is not fantastic, many have tried to improve and yet SQL + BASH is still around chunking along doing their unsexy things just good enough :) Never underestimate software that is 'just good enough' :)
