I've been trying to re-bootstrap my own homelab and I'm sort of gridlocked because I know I will forget or yes "cant keep it all in my head"... so I've been spending a lot of time documenting things and trying to make it simple, vanilla, and community supported when possible. As a result I have no homelab or "homeprod" as some others have coined here :)

I also found a friend who I am convincing of the same issues and so we may try mirroring our homelab documentation/process so that the "bus factor" isn't 1.
