Or is that more of a stereotype, and there are some (maybe more?) out there using some form of graphical interfaces/web dashboards/etc.?
It’s struck me as interesting how when you look up info about managing servers that they primarily go through command-line interfaces/terminals/etc. It’s made me wonder how much of that’s preference and how much of it’s an absence of graphical interfaces.
Both, actually. 95% web-GUI, and if something goes wrong, a bit of ssh.
What? no. Automation automation automation. Have your ansible, chef, or puppet ready. Where possible, have your terraform or equiv. ready. Python and bash scripts. Only use web portals where no automation solution exists.
This I’d do if I had a room full of servers and a team that would tend them 24/7.
I have a real job to do, and take care of one server on the side if necessary.
Then CLI all the way.
Na, I’m lazy. For the everyday things, there is webmin.
