Just a bit or a wandering mind on my part but one of the issues in the back of my mind is what happens to whatever self hosting I setup if something happens to me.
Ideally I’d like to be able to know that in case of emergency Id be able rely on a good friend or two to keep things going.
My thought was that would require some common design patterns/ processes and standardisation.
I also have these thoughts because eventually Id like to support other family members with self hosted services at their places. Standardising hardware, configurations etc makes that much simpler.
How have others approached this?
Not about design patterns, but about making preparations: https://github.com/potatoqualitee/eol-dr
That’s a really good idea, thanks for the link :)
Useful I have some of this but not other bits. A bit morbid but Im interested in what the break glass mechanism would be.
It’s not my Github, but I think you’d do something like print and store in a safe place your trusted party has access to. My SO has my Keepass password stored in their password safe and theoretically knows (and hopefully will recall when the need arises) how to find my Keepass file, for example.
In short, it’s trust. And then there’s the fact that they would never voluntarily touch this stuff anyway. 😅
Yes definitely. Trust is the key
