Preferred method for sysadmin tasks on remote hosts?
All,
I notice that most of our Fedora Server documentation describes using
cockpit and command-line and graphical apps.
While I have no objection to this and I believe it works well for
maintaining a small number of servers and/or services, it is my belief
this becomes quite cumbersome for more than a handful of servers and/or
services.
I have been asked to edit the NFS Server service installation and setup
documentation currently found in the Staging Environment. The docs
should cover both server side and client side procedures. I am more
that willing to edit the procedures prescribed in that document. But I
prefer using ansible to maintain my server environment. It becomes
permanent documentation (in case I am no longer available) and it
becomes repeatable by only modifying the "environment files" if a
server requires a rebuild.
I am looking for the opinion and experience of the community in
deciding whether or not we should document both types of procedures.
