What is it about automation you explicitly disliked? Personal care and scripted events are not mutually exclusive I think. Can you please elaborate on the way your service is managed?
(Wish you luck, by the way. I'll wait and see how this is going to differ from an average CDN.)
I misread static sites to files, sorry. I understand now.
It does take lots of code to do automation right, but that's the point. You replace tons of typing for a short command. I guess you'll have some scripts in any shape or size sooner or later.

Author here. Let me know if you have any questions.
I do have one, although tangential.

Automation is great. However, it takes a lot of code to do it right. A lot of code brings complexity, edge cases and bugs.
I decided to follow KISS principle and provide managed personal service where I can remember people by name.
The service has nothing to do with being a CDN. It is a place where you can host your static sites, set them up and basically forget about them.
Minimal base system, OpenBSD, PF and nginx are there to keep things simple, network invisible and noise free.
Basically a niche service for technical folks and people who like things simple, minimal and stable.

I'm glad BSD is still the choice for some devs.
