What's your plan to allow family access to important materials on your servers upon your death? What about for materials you don't want them to access? (lemmy.selfhostcat.com)

I have a similar strategy except I don't give anyone the password (there's no one in the world I trust that much and if it ever leaked I would blame them) but I say "hey if I die there's an envelope here with the necessary materials upon my death". I explicitly don't even tell them what's in it.

Hopefully I don't die in a fire.
