alt Hacker NewsOther than passwords though, I also have stuff installed at home on a Synology NAS, a mail server, a VPS running some websites (my own, family, my wife's), Home Assistant, Family photos with backups etc etc.
I wonder who would not only have the passwords, but the know-how to manage the whole thing, at least to transition it to more managed services...

Don’t assume that anyone can.
If you want someone to be able to access it after you’re gone, either put 1000 BTC in it or leave instructions. Paper instructions in a physical fireproof safe is way easier to deal with than any digital encryption with no hints.
you're completely right! the app actually guides you on some of that, it generates a readme that gives you advise on what to document, but I agree you can't be too careful here, the passwords IS NOT ENOUGH.
You need to give people "a map" of where things are: https://github.com/eljojo/rememory/blob/main/internal/projec...
Me too. I'm starting to self-host more and more services for both me and my family, and I wonder what would happen should I meet a bus in a front-facing way.
I think that boils down to having a checklist addendum to go with your will, an outline of accounts and data to rescue.
