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 spent a while getting Ansible to be able to setup and maintain my server(s). And ended up not using it as much as I should, mostly because the computer I used to run Ansible from became a "Steam Machine" so I'm rarely sitting on it with a keyboard now and I don't want to have personal info and keys on my work computer.

But it was a good learning, and useful while I used it. Now I just use ssh and compose files directly.

    You upgraded from ansible to ssh. As someone forced to write yaml for ansible professionally and has used many other config management tools, I can only commend your success at escaping ansible.

    Try mgmtconfig.
