Using GNU Stow to manage your dotfiles (2012)
+1 for nix and home-manager - I recently switched to this setup (still learning/experimenting a lot, link here [0]) and have been very happy!

How I run my servers
I have a similar setup for my personal and project websites. Some similarities and differences:
* I use Linode VMs ($5/month).
* I too use Debian GNU/Linux.
* The initial configuration of the VM is coded as a shell script: https://github.com/susam/dotfiles/blob/main/linode.sh
* Project-specific or service-specific configuration is coded as individual Makefiles. This takes care of creatng An example: https://github.com/susam/susam.net/blob/main/Makefile
* The software is written in Common Lisp. In case of a personal website or blog, a static website is generated by a Common Lisp program. In case of an online service or web application, the service is written as a Common Lisp program that uses Hunchentoot to process HTTP requests and return HTTP responses.
* I use Nginx too. Nginx serves the static files as well as functions as a reverse proxy when there are backend services involved. Indeed TLS termination is an important benefit it offers. Other benefits include rate limiting requests, configuring an allowlist for HTTP headers to protect the backend service, etc.

My Favorite Commandline Oneliners
I have something similar but a little more elaborate at my ~/bin to ensure that there isn't a severe loss of quality during the conversion: https://github.com/susam/dotfiles/blob/e434b7c/bin/xmp3

Using GNU Stow to manage your dotfiles (2012)
I follow a similar but handcrafted approach. I have a dotfiles repo with a setup script that automates the creation or deletion of all the symbolic links: https://github.com/susam/dotfiles/blob/master/setup
So what I do on any new system is just:
git clone https://github.com/susam/dotfiles.git
