With an ansible playbook and all my services running through docker, it's trivial to set everything up again within the hour with minimal effort compared to years ago when I did services purely through systemctl. In the future I'd like to build a DIY PiKVM and have ansible do the entire installation of the os too, but that's not really necessary for my home server so it's on the back burner.

I used to use ansible and salt but I realized that all configurations are in the persistent files so there is nothing to configure.

Now, I run services and not elastic containers - in the sense that once I have Syncthing or whatever set up, it stays that way. i do not need to pop up containers and configure them manually.
