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?

Passwords, usernames and access keys are all important, but what about technical knowledge? If you're the one hosting all of that, it's presumably because you're the most knowledgeable about that in your group. Without you, even if they have access, will they know how to keep things running, especially when things go wrong?
