  I learned Ansible for this purpose, so all the modified configs live in a git repo. I still get lazy and modify some things directly (looking at you Minecraft plugins) but a lot of it is pretty easy to set up via IaC.

  I am leaning that way too. Although I do want to maintain a wiki that I can host.

  So I settled on using a script that runs as a service on a timer, and can beanually triggered to generate README.md files that get synced with my git repo of docker containers

  This will be huge for me, as most of what I run are containers.

  The next step will be using Bookstack’s API to push these README.md files into books on my bookstack container.

  I’ll go a step further and setup automated exports of these documents.

  Going to migrate to infrastructure as code for my documentation

  This is the way to do it. Using basic config management and never handjamming anything. I use the git commit log to make notes. That way, later I can check when a file was added or changed and see the explanation for it.
