What do you use for your server administration? (piefed.social)

I was using webmin, but since my last server died and I'm making a new one, I decided I'd look into something different, personally I liked webmin but didn't use most of its functionality and felt a little clunky for my basic use. I've also testran casaos but felt weirdly limited and couldn't smoothly migrate docker containers to interact with its interface.

I can do with just the terminal, but it's nice having a gui that I can glance at my phone and quickly do stuff like update and reboot.

I personally haven't seen or found much conversation into the topic so I figured I'd ask and see what you peeps use and why.

Home server for me is mostly Ansible for provisioning and systemd for everything else. The trick is keeping it simple enough that you can recover from a broken state without Google. For daily tasks I reach for bare metal SSH or a web interface if it needs to be friendly. K8s is great but I found myself overcomplicating things until I stepped back and remembered: I already know how to SSH into a box.
