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?

I've made a note in a paper notebook with my master password for the password manager for my wife, but she's totally uninterested in anything I do with my server - she tried to understand, but it didn't work. At least she'll have access to my emails and other stuff in case I die before her.

    Same here. I don't see how she would manage, she's not THAT technical. I told her she'd probably be good for another few years barring breaking updates. Beyond that, she'll need to find someone to retrieve any content she wants to keep. For this reason, I keep all photos with a paid service (ente) as I don't want to risk her losing those.

    INB4: she = MY wife, not yours :)
