I've been slowly working through a modernization of my web host.

I rent a server on hetzner, and up until now its primarily been a container host. but I basically manually manage it. Services in containers, and running under quadlet, but their management has been a bit of a burden.

Recently I ordered another Hetzner system, and this time I had them give me a console, and I manually reinstalled it on RHEL Image Mode (bootc).

On top of that I decided it was time to automate. One at a time I am re-creating my pods using ansible. At the end of this, i should have a largely immutable system, thats easy to keep up to date, and all my services are nicely defined as code.

#rhel #redhat #bootc #imagemode #linux #sysadmin
