gollark: TIS-100 best.
gollark: Fortunately it only jams itself with certain resolutions, but still...
gollark: I was thinking about automation-type tools, but this sort of thing seems a decent idea too, so I might just do that.
gollark: That might make sense (restricted to the relevant folders, not losg and random stuff, at least).
gollark: What's a good way to manage all my services and stuff in a reasonably centralized fashion (yes, I know this is pretty vague)? I run many random webservices (some run in docker, they're all behind a reverse proxy (caddy)), having manually installed them, configured configuration, and in some cases set up service files for them, but I'm worried about the hassle restoring all this stuff would be in case of server failure and backing up all of `/` just seems inelegant. What I eventually want is to be able to, if my server or drives fail, redownload some scripts/configs/whatever, run some simple commands, load a backup of the relevant data and restart things.
