I'd hope we could avoid a lot of manual work and get this server set up using the new automation we are trying to build for Fundraising servers (see T379553).

The main difference I see with that is the new Netbox script for doing so (see here on Netbox next) will automatically assign the IP address. I spoke to @Jgreen and @Dwisehaupt about that before and I think it will be ok. If this server needs to use the IP from the task description it's no big deal, we can still use the new script and then do a sneaky manual edit so the IP matches.

From my point of view everything is good to go with the new process, but as said on the main task I need to validate all looks ok from a DC-Ops and FR-tech perspective before we finalise/document the process and make it live.

@VRiley-WMF ok so after a bit more back-and-forth I think we can finally trial this new script and see how it works:

Do you want to ping me when you go to do it and we can run through the options? It's self-explanatory but I'd like to see it in action to make sure we've covered off everything and there are no more gaps in the process. A few other potential improvements came up during the work but I've left them for now so we can at least get things working. Thanks!
