ansible has a learning curve but will save you a lot of time in long run over bash.

write playbooks rhat target groups of similar hosts instead of a playbook for each distinct host, target specific hosts with -l flag of ansible-playbook.

look into molecule for testing sooner than later. helps you be more confident your plays will work as expected vs running trial and error on a host and getting it into a bad state. i run on bare metal so more important for my workflow not to wipe a folder with a typo, etc.

https://forgejo.org selfhosted has been good for me, FOSS fork of Gitea.

I run a k3s cluster for selfhosted apps and keep all the configuration and docs in a git repo. That way I have history of changes and can rollback if needed. In that repo I have a docs folder with markdown documents about common operations and runbooks.

There are other ways to do this, but I like keeping docs next to the code and config so I can update them all at the same time. Deployed several wikis in the past but always forget to update them when I change things.
