What does everyone use for automating setting up a new VPS?
I'm using rudder (https://www.rudder.io/), it's based on cfengine (https://cfengine.com/). But this is more enterprise ready, you'll be fine with lightweight ansible. Nice thing is, that rudder ensures compliance by periodically executing all defined rules on all endpoints.
What are some alternatives?
Chef - Chef Infra, a powerful automation platform that transforms infrastructure into code automating how infrastructure is configured, deployed and managed across any environment, at any scale
Ansible - Ansible is a radically simple IT automation platform that makes your applications and systems easier to deploy and maintain. Automate everything from code deployment to network configuration to cloud management, in a language that approaches plain English, using SSH, with no agents to install on remote systems. https://docs.ansible.com.
Pallet - Automates controlling and provisioning cloud server instances. DevOps for the JVM.
(R)?ex - Rex, the friendly automation framework
Puppet - Server automation framework and application
yadm - Yet Another Dotfiles Manager
GNU Stow - GNU Stow - mirror of savannah git repository occasionally with more bleeding-edge branches
Home Manager using Nix - Manage a user environment using Nix [maintainer=@rycee]
