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!


Day job: oneScrote and fucking ansible
Night job: some wiki for the architecture, but just config management for the config detail : we run the docs and it’s done. Thankfully not fucking ansible; because in any environment where there are options, it’s not fucking ansible.
