Premise: most, if not all, of my services run in containers.
I have recently moved to docker context. It’s a pretty cool feature that I don’t see mentioned that often. Essentially it allows to run docker commands from your machine and tunnel them via SSH to your server. What I like about this is that I need all the compose file in my main machine and structure them into a repository so that I don’t have everything scattered around. The new approach I have implemented very recently is this.
One monorepo with one folder per server and in each one a folder per service containing docker compose and .env files. With dotenv I sent the docker context whenever I enter a specific folder, so as soon as I cd into that folder, any docker command I run from there would be tunneled to the correct server.
For everything that does not run in docker, which is not much I think at the moment only vector to collect metrics and logs, I use Ansile. In this case the need is that I want Vector to run on all servers so Ansible is the better choice here.
