Getting into the habit of adding READMEs to the home directory of my servers.
@garritfra Interesting, what sort of info are you putting in there?
@gray I just ask myself "what if I die in a car crash and someone else has to take over the server? What would they need to know?"
Where the data is stored, the services that are running, what to watch out for (firewall, important users), etc.
@garritfra @gray
Are you encrypting it somehow and sharing out a password or key? Or leaving all of that in a blank text file?
Seems like a treasure trove of information if someone got in potentially. (Could be tinfoil hat talk though). Not trying to attack the idea good on you for having a disaster recovery plan.
@garritfra
I get that, just wanted to play devils advocate I suppose in case you hadn't considered that angle/concern@gray@fosstodon.org
@ramob @gray I was contemplating that bit didn't find a proper way to do that.
I didn't want to encrypt it with PGP or similar, since I want people to be able to read it when they have to. I also don't really have a direct correspondent to give a password to.
In the end I just left it there as plain text.
