My last test was pre-Obsidian time (now I put everything in there). I will have to run one more time and, this time, make sure the steps are saved somewhere.

Since I basically install the OS, configure networking, install docker, install borg, recover from backup, start portainer, start the stacks - it would be overkill to use Ansible for that (not to mention hat I am not a big fan of Ansible after having tried for a year to make it reliably work on lossy/unstable networks -- IMHO salt is much better)
