I run a k3s cluster for selfhosted apps and keep all the configuration and docs in a git repo. That way I have history of changes and can rollback if needed. In that repo I have a docs folder with markdown documents about common operations and runbooks.
There are other ways to do this, but I like keeping docs next to the code and config so I can update them all at the same time. Deployed several wikis in the past but always forget to update them when I change things.

I really should spend time familiarizing with maintaining a git repo. I’ll likely find one I can self host.

forgejo.org selfhosted has been good for me, FOSS fork of Gitea.

Thank you for the suggestion. The fact that it’s FOSS wins my vote. I have been trying to go all open source where possible.

If you want a git “server” quick and low maintenance then gitolite is most likely the best choice. gitolite.com/gitolite/index.html
It simply acts as a server that you can clone with any git client and the coolest part is that you use git commits to create repositories and manage users as well. Very very or no maintenance at all. I’ve been using it personally for years but also saw it being used at some large companies because it simply gets the job done and doesn’t bother anyone.
