Hey everyone,

I'm struggling at this, and hence looking at your collective wisdom.

We are all selfhosting here (at least, willing to), so we know that it takes some time and skills.

But have you envisionned what your familly will do if the worst happen ? (e.g. you die in an accident)

Can someone take over, or all the setup will slowly fall appart and data be lost?

In my case, no one will be able to follow up. So all important documents and photos are mapped through nfs to all PC at home, so familly will still be able to access.

They know that everything important is stored on a NAS (hiwever, not sure they can identify and find it).

Same for all the passwords, a keepass file that is setup to be access easily and from all PCs. I have the plan to document in there an emergency way for them to secure the data.

And you, how do you manage that?

You don't need it, but your familly do !

And key point is : what is the most likely place for them to start searching such information?

In my case, they will never thought about looking for an "emergency page". So laminayed cards mentionned by someone else seems to be a good option

As I started thinking about how to lay out this “emergency page” I started thinking “well in order for this page to be accessible, I have to assume that my servers are up and running for my family to even get to said page. If the servers are offline for any reason, this page would be useless.” So yea probably something physical or non “techy” is best for this
