Do you have a plan for your self-hosted data if you die? (lemmy.world)

This question is mainly for those that have family/friends depending on their self-hosted services/data. Does anyone have a plan for the worst case scenario in terms of data access/passwords/making sure your services are kept running if people depend on them? I know I sure don't, it's just a strange curiosity my brain thought up and I wondered if anyone else had considered this?

There's a project on github just for this, I forget what it's called.

Basically they've developed a mechanism for providing instructions and access to security (usernames, passwords, etc).

I'll see of I can find it

Hereditas?

Looks interesting but explicitly says it’s “alpha software “ and hasn’t been updated in five years. I’d be weary of using something like this in such a critical situation.

Agreed. I wasn't suggesting to use it, but was just asking if OP was referring to that project.

Not sure if gonemanswitch is the one you're referring to, but it's the one I use.
