MODERATORS
archlinux + podman / libvirtd + nomad (libvirt and docker plugins) + ansible / terraform + vault / consul sometimes
UPD:
archlinux - base os. You never need change major version and that is great. I update core systems every weekend.
podman / libvirtd - 2 types of core abstractions. podman - docker containers management, libvirtd - VM management.
nomad - Hashicorp orcestrator. You can run exec, java application, container or virtual machine on one way with that. Can integrate with podman and libvirtd.
ansible - VM configuration playbooks + core system updates
terraform - engine for deploy nomad jobs (docker containers. VMs. execs or something else)
Vault - K/V storage. I save here secrets for containers and VMs
consul - service networking solution if you need realy hard network layer
As a result, I'm not really sure if it's a simple level or a complex one, but it's very flexible and convenient for me.
UPD2: As a result, I described the applications level, but in fact it is 1 very thick server on AMD Epic with archlinux. XD By the way, the lemmy node from which I write is just on it. =) And yes, it's still selfhosted.
