I have a silly little internal website I use for bookmarks, searching internal tools, and some little utilities. I keep getting pressure to put it into our heavy and bespoke enterprise CICD process. I’ve seen people quit over trying to onboard into this thing… more than one. It’s complete overkill for my silly little site.
My “dumb” solution is a little Ansible job that just runs a git pull on the server. It gets the new code and I’m done. The job also has an option to set everything up, so if the server is wiped out for some reason I can be back up and running in a couple minutes by running the job with a different flag.
