knowledge wanted - how to server config while being low on spoons
@amy_psycho_bitch In my opinion/experience, using stuff from the system package manager instead of docker is easier to maintain and keep up to date (for me).There's also auto update solutions for docker I've used, where you could pin a major version and have it auto update minor/patch versions. But then you still have to keep track of manually doing major updates at times, how often this would be necessary depends on the software of course.
I'd imagine a good low-spoons server setup to be based on a well-supported, stable-release distro like Debian (which I'd recommend over Ubuntu, from what I hear release-upgrades go smoother) with unattended-upgrades enabled.
Personally, my NixOS stable servers don't cause much hassle either most of the times when I do updates or even release-upgrades – but I'd guess more (can't really judge that well enough). And for me, it has less service config maintenance overhead. But I'd leave that up to you to weigh against each other. :)
