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.

gollark: <@404675960663703552> Random kind of late interjection: Ryzen can do (not the registered kind) ECC memory, though probably not on all boards. There's an ASRock one with IPMI and stuff which supports it.

gollark: Just buy 5 MacBooks, then, obviously.

gollark: I don't think they are great NAS choices.

gollark: Laptops only have one small internal drive bay generally and you need to connect the rest over slow USB thingies.
