Bookstack is such an amazing tool. Just make a shelf for Homelab, books for each aspect like VMs, docker, etc. Then have a chapter for each VM or app and them pages can be installation, running, issues, troubleshooting, significant upgrades, etc. It's important to actually take note of it all and not just grab URLs for your resources because if those pages are removed then you're screwed.
