I feel very similarly! Ruby just feels like such a well designed system from the ground-up. The object model is so elegant and consistent. The standard library is feature-full and fun to use, and the docs are excellent. Ruby is a beautiful object-oriented language but also leans into the power of FP with a plethora of functions defined on the powerful base-classes like Enumerable. In comparison, Python feels way less thoughtful, more of an ad-hoc language constructed through independent decisions over a long period of time

I made https://github.com/lime-green/remote-docker-aws a while ago and I've been happily using it for about a year. It throws docker in a ec2 VM and allows you to call docker as if it were running locally by tunneling and syncing files. The network file systems I tried (sshfs, nfs) were way too slow when used as docker volumes so it uses a tool called unison which does two-way file syncing (rsync only does one way, which is a problem for something like making django migrations)
