-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

It can be in git even if you're not doing 'config as code' or 'infrastructure as code' yet/ever.
Even just a text file with notes in markdown is better than nothing. Can usually be rendered, tracked, versionned.
You can also add some relevant files as needed too.
Like, even if your stuff isn't fully automated CI/CD magic, a copy of that one important file you just modified can be added as necessary.
I have some of this. I have an ansible playbook I use to do initial vm/lxc setup and I've built out a number of roles. But none of my systems are to a point were I could just delete the vm, spin a new one up, point ansible at it, and pickup where I left off.
The one thing I have that probably closest to this is my internal BIND zones, which double as my IPAM. I've been fairly diligent about committing changes and documenting what the change was.
