= Tools for managing multiple web servers =

I'm looking for a better solution than running scripts to manage web servers

Currently I use a script I created to deploy and manage a Debian LEMP stack with virtualhosts across 4 small Debian servers, but this isn't ideal

The problems I face:
Having whole config files in a script is annoying to work with
Editing config files can be an absolute pain, mucking around with sed, echoing etc
Outdated certbot, nginx and php with Debian (trade-off for stability)
Manual creation of new web servers
Manual restore of backups
I've been looking at a few solutions:
Use Nginx Proxy Manager or switch to Caddy (not so much control)
Use Ansible, Puppet, Chef or Salt (learning curve)
Any recommendations/ideas?
You can always get more current PHP from httpsdeb.sury.org/
I use Apache from backports with with mod_md ,so I don't have anything relevant to offer for your Certbot or Nginx challenges

As for the configs, I use git and have templates, but eventually I really need to follow u/nizzok's advice and move to Ansible

I actually came here to see if anyone was using Caddy - just stumbled on it, and it looks really cool
Def a fan of ansible, but hadn't considered for web hosting, just system deployment. Would probably consider it for multiple VPS (nowhere near that)
Someone else mentioned this, which I thought was worth sharing:
I’m using Laravel Forge to manage multiple aws accounts, multiple servers and about 50 websites
