Toot

I'm planning on moving some of my websites onto one VM at some point. They're each built a little differently and have their own extra dependencies and configurations (for instance, one has a cron job that calls a Scheme interpreter once a day). So far I've just been setting them up by hand, but that's error-prone and makes it harder to migrate in the event that I want to move VMs again or self host at some point.

I was wondering if anyone knows a way that I could set up some kind of configuration file once and then use it to deploy everything a particular website needs, while letting me run a mix of those deployments on the same machine.

I know Docker supports this kind of thing, but I don't really want to deal with the overhead of containers on a resource constrained VM. I've got choice of operating system though, so I can do something like NixOS, but I don't know enough about it yet to know if it would be a good pick for what I'm doing.

Anyone have any suggestions?

@montag I'm only replying because I'm surprised you don't have a million replies already lol. This is definitely not my expertise.

Chef, Ansible, or similar is one thought; Incus (formerly LXD) is another
