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!


I don’t have many machines but about 40 containers. I used docker compose. Then I’ve found Trillium Notes for the documenting part. I have the client on my mac that syncs to the trillium container on my server that way I can always have access if something happens and the server is down or I need it offline. One thing I love about it is that I’ve set it so all pages are read only by default. This makes it work for me more like a wiki and I don’t accidentally overwrite something. The discipline to keep it updated?.. biggest challenge.
