Lots of fancy scripts around. I don't use any, I just configure new servers with an ansible playbook from my laptop, and generally do stuff by hand after that.

Lots of fancy scripts around. I don't use any, I just configure new servers with an ansible playbook from my laptop, and generally do stuff by hand after that. I don't have anything I'd call "production", just personal and dev stuff. I have a cheap dedicated server that I use as a beataround and for long running computations, and occasionally spin up Hetzner cloud instances for temporary usages. I don't automate backups. I have 5TB of backup space in Hetzner Storage Box (10 euro/month for that!) and manually backup to it with Borg Backup and a few small shell commands in the .bashrc in my ansible script.
