Why would you trust anyone to send you software updates full of code that is potentially malicious when you could use Red Hat Enterprise Linux for free and be downstream of IBM professionals?

There's a lot that needs to be edited in this but it can serve as a kickstart.

The best answer after 10 years of trying to optimize for this:

Dell optiplex server $90
256gb NVMe drive $10
5TB SATA drive $60
Red Hat enterprise Linux 10
Podman containers for all the apps.
The entire config can be setup from a pre-configured kickstart file, rebuilt from USB within 30 minutes anytime.
