how do you manage your server? (lemmy.zip)

I usually connect with my server via ssh in a terminal and run basic commands. What's a better, more efficient and modern way of doing that? Especially considering ai and documentation along the way? I wonder if there's a better approach than "connect from remote and act local". Is there a method to "code local and push to remote"?

I use a fedora server with podman, caddyfile and vi.

I assume this is on your own physical hardware? What parts do you set up with terraform?

Yes, my own hardware. But before I decided to build my own server last September, I was on a similar setup on a dedicated server at Hetzner, just less powerful (I'm so goddamn glad I bought the memory and storage back then, I probably wouldn't even get the 192GB DDR5 right now for the price I paid for all memory and storage combined).

Terraform starts at the Talos initial machine config and cluster bootstrap including CNI setup and routing configuration (I have an opnsense in front that handles ingress routing) until FluxCD is fully set up and takes over.

Ingress traffic works via a small Hetzner VPS, and BGP through Wireguard, so there is no DNAT or SNAT between the open Internet and my Kubernetes load balancers and all services see the actual client IP. This took a shit load of time to get right, because wireguard only has an mtu of 1420, but the regular uplink is usually 1500, so pmtu discovery in my load balancers implementation (Cilium) and mss clamping in opnsense had to all be configured
