With the rapid growth of my self hosted services with a wife and others that use them and my interest in building out my personal experience, I could use some advice on the path of building my own, even if simplistic, CI/CD pipline to keep everything orginized and minimize downtime/broken fetures in production. If anyone has any advice in this area with what to look for and what to avoid, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
First of all you need to establish an SLA. As for automation you have all kinds of things to choose from, like puppet, ansible, terraform, salt, pulumi, argocd, flux, etc (not necessarily exclusive). Personally I like terraform to provision resources and Ansible to configure them. Some I do through Gitea actions.
