How do you document your setup? (piefed.social)

Like soup-to-nuts. I know I need to document what I'm doing and I've started several times, but then I never go back and make updates. I don't know if it's just the ADHD or if I'm just going about it or thinking about it in the wrong way.

So I'm curious about:

what you use for your documentation
how you organize it
what information you include
how you work documentation into your changes/tinkering flow

Edit: Dang, folks! You all have given me a lot to read through, think about, and explore. Thank you!

Dokuwiki

https://wiki.gardiol.org/

For me for future memory and for others who might need it

BTW, this gent's wiki is worth a bookmark. Stumbled on it before I knew the originator.

Thanks you, it means a lot. Just to be clear for whomever didn't go there: there is zero monetization, no ads, no profiling.

Yeah, I'm currently using Wiki.js. I will definitely check out how you've got things organized. It looks really good!

I am using wiki. Is for a different project and I can't say I really prefer it over dokuwiki. They both have good points. I don't like the php dependency of dokuwiki but wikijs feels a bit overcomplex.

Look's great, thanks

Using Mediawiki here.

I have obsidian and tried using it, but my personal workflow for my homelab just doesn't...work with it? Idk, it's just easier to throw it into a private wiki.

I still use obsidian but for personal life stuff.
