Selfhosted

🧠 + a few slapdash notes in a password manager. It's very organic, very human.

Occasionally leads to situations like this.

Trillium notes

I tried since the very beginning to build everything in ansible and terraform, so everything is in the code or in its associated README files.

But apart from that I have a hodge podge of dozens of note documents in Obsidian.

Obsidian synced via git.

I started to put it all in my selfhosted bookstack and that works well for me. I also automated a good part of my setup with Ansible, so I can just check how the Playbook did things if I forgot.

Based on Dokuwiki and my own experience. Mostly started to track what and why I do stuff, and published because I truly believe in a free internet.

Not much, really. I do comment changes to config files and such.

NixOS's declarative configurations basically document themsleves: add some comments and you're good to go and can back then up to wherever whenever

I typically don't. Most of my setup is based on habits formed over decades, so not a whole lot is needed for me to figure out stuff. If I do something that is atypical of me I usually add it to /etc/motd as a reminder.

If it need documentation means things are over the line when comes to complexity and I should scale down / simplify. :)

Complexity and over-engineering are a serious problem, I really try to keep it as simple as possible so I don't have to waste time managing it, dealing with updates and potential security issues. Simple code/infrastructure breaks less and has less potential insecure points.
