What is the 'proper' way most people use to host modded servers?

I've always hosted modded servers for friends for ages with the generic java -jar -Xmx4G server.jar, but my recent obsession with managing stuff (among other things) has made me want to do this "properly" for once. ESPECIALLY because I've been extremely unlucky with disks dying before I remember to transfer backups off of them.

I'm wondering, do people actually automate their servers (i.e. restarts, backups to other media, and modpack downloading and updating), and is this done through random scripts, manual labor, or some docker container with a management tool?

I was considering just writing a dumb web wrapper for all of this, but it's not really worth the effort if someone has made a better solution.

Or... maybe I'm just crazy and everyone just logs in to run /stop after leaving ssh and uses a sftp mount to replace mod files for this kind of server.
