That is a very good question. It all started as a dainty test setup, and I guess, we had lost the routine of always scripting hardware setups, because our previous project hadn’t required it.

Obviously, the second-best time to start doing it is now, but I’d need to properly learn one of these first to be able to lead the way on that.
Which collides with me not really wanting to use any of the ones I’ve experienced so far (Ansible, Puppet) in my freetime. 🫠
