I am running Home Assistant in Docker with ever more sensors+devices. I also run a lot of other unrelated Docker services. It all works "just right" but it gets hairy if something breaks or I want to change something. It's hard to remember how to configure certain things, or why I set up something in a particular way. My documentation is a sprawling Google Doc in dire need of completion and maintenance.
What's your solution for documenting home infrastructure that's actually maintainable? I am asking about your method more than any specific tools. (But you're welcome to mention tools, too.)
I am looking for practical methods that actually work for you, and that don't require more time than managing the systems themselves. How do you document your home tech without it becoming yet another full-time job?
