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?

My wife and I share the same KeePass database for all of our passwords (synced across several devices via Syncthing).

Like me, she runs Fedora Silverblue and knows her way around a terminal well enough to follow instructions. I make a point to add verbose markdown notes to the vital KeePass entries; detailing how to decrypt the backup drives, restart services on our Proxmox server, etc. She also knows where the backup drives are located, both at home and off-site; and so does my son, in case anything happens to the both of us at once.

They might not be able to carry on exactly as things are now, but they'll definitely be able to maintain access to our family photos, financials, etc., and that's all that really matters.
