how do you manage your server? (lemmy.zip)

I usually connect with my server via ssh in a terminal and run basic commands. What's a better, more efficient and modern way of doing that? Especially considering ai and documentation along the way? I wonder if there's a better approach than "connect from remote and act local". Is there a method to "code local and push to remote"?

I use a fedora server with podman, caddyfile and vi.

I wait for something to break. Then I yell "God fucking dammit, I don't have time for this right now!" and spend an hour triaging things before I just try docker down, pull, up and everything works.

    Early on I wrote a script for my user account to run df and save the output to a file, then a second script to read that file and if the drive was full send me an email.

    First, it failed because it couldn't send the email because the email service failed under full disk conditions.

    Second, it failed because it couldn't write the file to disk because the disk was full.

    Third, it failed because outbound SMTP was blocked by my ISP.

    I learned a lot about how well you can fail if you really put your mind to it. Now I have Home Assistant grabbing the disk stats for my machines and flagging anything over 90%.
