How do you document your Homelab? (discuss.tchncs.de)

Hello, how do you document your home lab? Whether it's a small server or a big one with firewall and more nodes. I have a small pc with Proxmox and there I have a VM with OpnSense. After I've entered my VPN as a interface in OpenSense, I noticed that I slowly lose the overview with the different rules that I have built in my firewall. And I know that my setup is relatively easy in comparison to others here in this community. I want to have a quick Overview at the various VMs, like the Lxc container, Docker containers that I have in this and the IP addresses that I have assigned to them. I search for a simple an intuitiv way for beginners.

My wife was mentioning the other day that if something happened to me she'd have absolutely no idea how to work any of this shit and that convinced me to actually start documenting it LMAO

Good time to start doing it too. Aside from setting up a NAS this weekend and figuring out an audiobook solution (not something I've ever dabbled with but I really should start reading some communist theory), I've got this project right where I want it for a long while.
