We want to mirror all basic configurations and updates applied to a master Ubuntu droplet to other droplets.
They all use Apache, ProFTP, Webmin, MySQL, UFW, fail2ban, SSH, Docker.
Every install has specific services installed, as CRM, Web, ERP etc.
Cluster is for load, volumes are not mentioned to share system files.
Thanks for hints and ideas.
Some research I can’t yet appraise:

Hello,
Indeed I think that IPSConfig would be a good option, as it allows you to manage all your servers via your browser from one control panel.
Other things that might want to look at are:
-
If the servers would come with a preset configuration and would not change much, then you could create a snapshot and use it to set up all new servers, that way you would not need to set up each server manually
-
Use an automation system like Ansible or Puppet, this would be the approach that I would recommend, but this requires more DevOps knowledge
Hope that this helps! Regards, Bobby
