VPS although there is no dependency on VPS manager stuff so I don't see any issue with running on bare metal. No config managers, just bash scripts.
They basically install and configure packages using sed or heredocs with a few user prompts here and there for setting up domains etc.
If you are constantly tweaking stuff this might not suit you, but if you know what you need and only occasionally do light changes (which you must ensure the scripts reflect) then this could be an option for you.
It does take some care to write reliable clear bash scripts, and there are some critical choices like `set -e` so that you can walk away and have it hit the end and know that it didn't just error in the middle without you noticing.
