Reading earlier comments in this community made me consider documenting the workings of my homelab to some extent, ie. docker configuration, credentials, ports and links of my services. I’ve tried it to make it consistent and organised but it still feels half baked and insufficient. Everyone suggests documenting everything you do in your homelab but don’t state how. Since I’ve hardly had experience running my own server, I would really appreciate observing the blueprint of some other fellow selfhoster for copying or taking inspiration from rather than considering the note taking to be ‘left as an exercise for the reader’.
LOL, well I’m single tho I’ve known my ladyfriend for over 40 years. I offered to set up a server at her house, and connect the two, but she has no interest rifling through all my lab for anything of interest in the case of my passing.
I’m happily married with a kid, and we recently went through the estate planning process. When I brought up IP stuff and digital properties, their advice was pretty much “Hmm… you should pick someone who understands what you’re talking about, get their approval in advance, and then add them as your legacy contacts and document the heck out of everything”. Realistically nobody is going to want my GitHub stuff or anything like that, but I would like my kid to have access to most* of my files after I pass. I am of course excluding the kind of content that “real friends” delete while your body is still warm.
It’d be nice to donate all my equipment to some kid who is very interested. That would be something I’d be interested in.
