@mint @7666 @p @pwm but what if with time my pets will become a cattle? I will need to rework everything, then.

Hello! I have much experience in desktop Linux and a little with servers, but I really feel very enthusiastic about system administration.
The best way to learn is by homelabbing, so that's what I'm doing. But I don't like the way I do it. Currently, I have one hardware machine without any containers, VMs, firewalls (except iptables) and so on. And most important, I don't have any documentation or configuration management (like Ansible or Puppet). And the more services I deploy on my machine, the harder it becomes to maintain.
So, I want to ask experienced system administrators of fedi: how do you do that stuff?
Do you use any configuration management engines, like Ansible? Why not? I feel it's not an "old school" way, and my inner retrograde says it is bad.
Should I use a separate VM for each service? Do containers make any sense?
What are the best practices to make the system more maintainable?
I know it's a very complex and extensive question... So, maybe there's some good literature on system administration?
Pinging people with AFAIK home-hosted instances: @mint @p @7666 @pwm
Sorry if I bother you.
