Like soup-to-nuts. I know I need to document what I’m doing and I’ve started several times, but then I never go back and make updates. I don’t know if it’s just the ADHD or if I’m just going about it or thinking about it in the wrong way.
So I’m curious about:
- what you use for your documentation
- how you organize it
- what information you include
- how you work documentation into your changes/tinkering flow
Edit: Dang, folks! You all have given me a lot to read through, think about, and explore. Thank you!


Notesnook notebook with whatever info I need to be able to administrate the system. e.g. what different ports are used for and why the firewall policies are what they are, sometimes write-ups after a troubleshooting session, etc.
The Notesnook instance is self-hosted too, but if the server goes down, the notebook will still be available locally.
