I have a few options to set-up my personal journal and I intend to journal my process of how to, what’s the practical way of writing it all down with writing everything down ?

    Infrastructure as code, the code that is your homelab should be the documentation of it.

    Just some scripts and config files in external git at the moment but usually I just get my refrence form other VMs. Probably going with obsidian or other markdown editor and upload notes to somewhere if disaster strikes.

    Knowledgebase + OIDplus + scripts/configs in git repo.

    I chose local instance of Wordpress for my knowledgebase a decade ago. Today I’d probably use Bookstack.

    TRILIUM. https://github.com/zadam/trilium Dig into it and check out all the examples before giving up on it. I’ve tried every note app I can imagine, and it’s hands down the best.

    I am even using the API to pull shopping lists from home assistant and add them to my todo list via node-red.

    With tailscale and 24/7 access, I never have to worry about missing a thought. While working out this morning, I heard a new word in a song, took me 5 seconds to stop and document that. It’s now my home for every thought, idea, plan, code snippet, recipe, home inventory, etc…

    It’s 100% my trusted system. I roll GTD concepts into it with @contexts and whatnot, so I’ve even combined all other knowledge management systems into trilium.

    I can’t recommend it enough.

      Not to be a party pooper but I guarantee you it took longer than 5s lol.

      Can you clarify on this? I use GTD with nextcloud calendar/tasks.

      +1 for Trilium. I also tried a lot of note-taking apps that are out there and Trilium is by far the most robust one.

    I use Joplin for my wiki/documentation tool. I like that it supports markdown and can be exported as markdown if needed. Also the variety of plugins is a plus.

      Joplin organizes my life. Without it, I’d be lost. Like, for anything.

      What size tires do I need to swap my bike? How did I configure my samba shares? How do I setup VFIO passthrough? What’s the name of that guy I hate at work? (Fuck you, Nick) How much did it cost to have the tree in my back yard removed? Can I see the invoice?

      All these questions I can lookup and solve using my Joplin database. Without Joplin, life gets way harder.

    self hosted git repository.

    I setup gitea on my server and use it to track version changes of all my scripts.

    And I use a combination of the wiki and .md (readme) files for howto’s and any inventory I’m keeping, like IP addresses, CPU assignments etc.

    But mainly it’s all in .md formatted with markdown.
