Suppose you wanted to host some software, and you're trying to be responsible so you do it gitops style. Imagine it's some fedi software, if you like. BUT! You don't want to do it in kubernetes, because you're just one tired queer, not a whole SRE team. And not using hyperscaler cloud stuff, for the same reasons. Just a VPS or two, running a custom app, with config, a db, a load balancer, that's probably it.
Is there a realistic tooling option to support that, other than Ansible?
