- FLAVOR: Ubuntu Server - HEADLINE: All configuration change managed & automated - DESCRIPTION: All configuration management in Ubuntu Server should be managed. For example, editing apache configuration raw on the FS should be strongly discouraged and logged as an error to reconcile with a legitimate configuration change. I should instead create my own configuration package that adds files, edits exiting files, etc. These configuration packages would then be versioned and stored in some central database. If I want to reinstall Ubuntu Server, I then login to the central database, indicate the name and version of the configuration I want to apply, and that's it. - ROLE: Software engineer / home lab hobbyist


Maybe just move etckeeper into the base install, as a middleground?
