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?
All of my passwords are in Bitwarden and important ones are shared with my wife who has her own Botwarden and has shared her important passwords back with me. If one of us goes, the other will have access to everything. I don’t (yet) have any descendants to inherit anything of importance, so I’m not worried about anything beyond my passwords so that if something happens to me, my wife can manage all of the accounts for bills, banking, communication, etc.
If/when I have children, I will likely make a new plan that builds on what I already have, with directions to access my password vault that can be given to my brother and his husband and my parents, should they outlive me and my wife. With my passwords, everything else of import is accessible. Thankfully, my brother is very tech savvy, so if my wife and I both go, I can trust him to be able to log in to everything and pull important media down.
