I used to keep a list of repos to pull onto my NAS in case they someday went closed source. I use “mr” for it. It worked great. I had it on a systemd timer.

I’d definitely be interested.

I did something like this a while back when I attempted to create an official Cardano dev/Stake Pool operator machine. I ended up realizing that a whole config is too personal to try an standardize but parts of my shared configs DID help other Cardano devs and Stake pool operators get a rock-solid Cardano dev/SPO setup that could be cloned into a myraid of different types of machines and configs.

I build, configure, and deploy them with nix flakes for maximum reproducibility. It’s the way you should be doing it for archival purposes. With this tech, you can rebuild any docker image identically to today’s in 100 years.

and here’s a link to a blog post, showing how to create a docker image and rust dev environment.
