I would like to have a mechanism to set up a server automagically…

I think you're looking for Ansible. Have fun!
The difference between an Anible playbook and a script, is Ansible has a 'check', 'change', 'verify' pattern, and is declarative (meaning that once the playbook is made, it tends to keep working on future versions of Ansible.)
Ehhh... as someone who does devops, you should dive into ansible core changelogs on github sometime ;)
I assume you mean to check on his often they're is the breaking changes? :)
Declarative style isn't perfect, but it's a massive improvement from straight bash scripting.
💯
We're an ansible shop and yeah it's better than bash scripting (where it makes sense) but ansible.. man it does have some peculiarities :/
