Hey everyone,

I’m struggling at this, and hence looking at your collective wisdom.

We are all selfhosting here (at least, willing to), so we know that it takes some time and skills.

But have you envisionned what your familly will do if the worst happen ? (e.g. you die in an accident)

Can someone take over, or all the setup will slowly fall appart and data be lost?

In my case, no one will be able to follow up. So all important documents and photos are mapped through nfs to all PC at home, so familly will still be able to access.

They know that everything important is stored on a NAS (hiwever, not sure they can identify and find it).

Same for all the passwords, a keepass file that is setup to be access easily and from all PCs. I have the plan to document in there an emergency way for them to secure the data.

And you, how do you manage that?

    Honestly, haven’t even though about it. Better make this my weekend project.

    Someone mentioned having a static page with instructions (home.example.com/emergency or something similar) not a bad idea at all. Actually this might the route I take too. Thank you for talking about something I didn’t even know I needed!

      You don’t need it, but your familly do !

      And key point is : what is the most likely place for them to start searching such information?

      In my case, they will never thought about looking for an “emergency page”. So laminayed cards mentionned by someone else seems to be a good option
