  • Every time I set up anything, I do one of two things:

    • If it’s container based, it gets a commented docker compose file in my custom orchestration

    • If it’s on a host system, the changes are scripted and commented in a setup script, which are run on new machines. If the acrit is specific to one machine, it is configured as such

    I find in-setup docs to be best for a home lab, plus if I have to replace hardware, it’s fast.

    Fun fact, I do it for laptops and desktops, too.
