Let us talk about automation, what tasks did you automate to save time?

It took me 3 years to realize that:

- setting up a Digitalocean droplet

- changing its passwords

- installing Letsencrypt

- changing the nameservers

- adding the domain

- Update Apache settings

- Install Composer + libraries

- Setup Amazon SES for email delivery

- Create and upload basic MVC

is a complete waste of time doing it manually. I build a simple php script which automates all of the stuff above via APIs doing it within 5 minutes saving me 1 full working day each time. What are your stories of automating tasks to save time?
