I was reading about it and I actually like a lot this solution’s principle. It reminds me a lot of puppet which I have seen before (for other kind of tasks) to orchestrate several computers. Big shame it works on windows though, since I have a server with docker on ubuntu server at this point and was not really looking forward to change that. But thanks for the suggestion, is for sure very interesting
Comment on entire system backups onto the server - how?

I use Veeam Backup & Recovery Community Edition. If you’re runing VM’s you have to be on VMWare or Hyper-V. You can also use agents on the individual VM/Server. It also requires a pretty hefty Windows host, at least if you want your backups to complete fairly quickly.
Those are understandably downsides for some people. But, Veeam is in a class by itself. It has no serious competitors and as far as ease of use and reliability, it’s top tier.
I’m lazy. I don’t want to spend a bunch of time configuring finicky backups only to find out I needed one and it failed. I honestly wish there were a comparable open source backup system. I have yet to find anything that works as well.

Another vote for Veeam. I use it at home and professionally. It’s a solid product and has saved my ass countless times.
