If it's because you set new servers very frequently: Ansible
If it's because moving stuff once every two years to a new server is an hassle: everything in custom docker images
If you don't update your Docker images for two years or more you are going to have even more security holes than if you had it all on the host system and didn't update that.
I build the docker images every time I call docker compose, they should be updated
There's the huge bug that apparently they don't want to fix, is that it caches "apt upgrade" so I have to edit that line every once in a while
One day I will update my script to add a random commented char at the end of that line every time
