Hello, how do you document your home lab? Whether it's a small server or a big one with firewall and more nodes. I have a small pc with Proxmox and there I have a VM with OpnSense. After I've entered my VPN as a interface in OpenSense, I noticed that I slowly lose the overview with the different rules that I have built in my firewall. And I know that my setup is relatively easy in comparison to others here in this community. I want to have a quick Overview at the various VMs, like the Lxc container, Docker containers that I have in this and the IP addresses that I have assigned to them. I search for a simple an intuitiv way for beginners.

A combination of Logseq (what, why, how) and KeePass for IPs and passwords (obviously)... I use the heirarchy in Keepass to show a device and then the services on it and then their configs, ie

  • Hypervisor1
    • VM1
      • root user details
      • that webUI details
    • VM2 (Etc)

I used to do Visio drawings, but they were always out of date.
