My home lab has a mild amount of complexity and Iโd like practice some good habits about documenting it. Stuff like, what each system does, the OS, any notable software installed and, most importantly, any documentation around configuration or troubleshooting.
i.e. I have an internal SMTP relay that uses a letsencrypt SSL cert that I need to use the DNS challenge to renew. Iโve got the steps around that sitting in a Google Doc. Iโve got a couple more google docs like that.
I donโt want to get super complicated but Iโd like something a bit more structured than a folder full of google docs. Iโd also like to pull it in-house.
Thanks
Edit: I appreciate all the feedback Iโve gotten on this post so far. There have been a lot of tools suggested and some great discussion about methods. This will probably be my weekend now.
Iโd like to document what I have, and what I need to do it spin it back up with minimal effort should I need to. Esp, anything thatโs unique to my setup or that I did to work around a problem. Iโve shot myself in the foot many a time where I go back to something 6 months later and Iโve long since forgotten what I did. So, if itโs not commented in a config Iโm figuring it out all over again.
