Struggling with a problem that i just can't seem to figure out.

When starting from scratch self hosting both the SCM and CI/CD server.

Given that you can't use an existing setup to deploy/manage it, what is the best practice for deploying said services?

Deploy the scm manually first, put everything together, then redeploy. If you do it right, it'll redeploy in-place and pick everything up. No point in starting with CI/CD if it has nothing to pull from.
