I'm considering switching my personal servers (on Digital Ocean) from Ubuntu to Debian. I essentially just need something running Docker for most of my projects. Debian seems to require upgrading less often. Any opinions?

I've dabbled with 'conventional commits' for a personal project but I found they slowed me down. It's not always easy to categorise a commit as a fix, a chore etc. Sometimes refactorings also fix bugs. Do you use them? I can imagine a large, mature project benefitting more.

For my personal server, I deploy services with docker and update with watchtower. It works OK, but I'd love to have a proper configuration as code approach. I want a git commit to change a file that says which version should be live, and then CI should deploy that.
