  • As someone who’s done cloud infrastructure professionally, this is the right way to make a project for setting up self-hosted applications. Not writing a bunch of bash scripts and putting them behind some web UI. We have well established infrastructure/config-as-code systems that are the gold standard which runs most clouds out there. Ansible is one of them. That’s the right tool for this job and a ton of professionals understand it and therefore can easily contribute improvements for the ones who don’t to use. I’m unfortunatrly invested in SaltStack but I wouldn’t feel worried to deploy a (well reviewed) project built on Ansible. Then slap a web UI on it if you like but that should be another project that hooks uses this one.
