>A lot of our week is made up of the same kinds of small tasks: provision a VM, tweak storage settings, pass through a device, replicate a dataset, share a file, test an image, throw the machine away, do it again. None of that is exciting.
All I read is that they are still doing ClickOPS over DevSecOps!!
At no moment I heard automation, if you aren't using automation in 2026, your future in IT is cooked.
I run Proxmox at home for my homelab. I used to use VMs and now I have fully adopted Proxmox LXC containers (I hate Docker). I use Ansible to automate everything.
Last night I wanted to setup a notification service called Gotify, the Ansible playbook must:
1. Create a LXC container with specified resources
2. Prepare the system, network and what not
3. Give me a fully operational LXC and service running, go to the browser and voila.
All of that by running one command line, so now I can deploy it over and over.
I have setup a LXC container running Radarr, qBittorrent, Sonarr, Jackett, WireGuard VPN via Proton VPN, Iptables firewall aka kill-switch.
All of what you just read running within a LXC container fully automated via Ansible, OP is doing everything manually.
Even if I was running Sylve, Ansible would be doing the whole automation stuff.
