maybe ansible
I’ve done Ansible professionally for 3 years, now. I’ve used puppet, chef/cinc, I’ve played with mgmtconfig, and I’ve built entire ecosystems out of cron+make+rpm since 2002, 6 years before ‘devops’ had a name.
Don’t use Ansible. EVERYTHING ELSE is better. Please consider any option before it. Strongly consider mgmtconfig.

Not heard of mgmtconfig, I’ll take a look. What’s the benefit over Ansible? Most of my home is setup (& maintained) via Ansible (I have a few Pi Zeros scattered around the place with the same monitoring setup installed) but I’ve not found a nice solution to doing setup locally, then reproducing on Ansible, then testing, then refining… if there’s a shortcut to that I’d be interested!
