No spam posting.
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
No trolling.

Hey community! Do you use any database or anything to manage your environments? I started a relational Notion database a while back but never dug in. Objects types for things like hardware, software, deployments, technologies, and tie-ins to my other LifeOs databases. (e.g., the inkbird aquarium thermostat in Smart Life/Tuya via Home Assistant is linked to my aquarium database as a gear object.)

I'm rebuilding half my lab right now and thought it might be worth seeing if there's a better method before returning to my half-assed system.

(I pay for Notion - I also failed at making my super complex Obsidian implementation work across my devices and platforms. I'm in the market for a replacement for that whole universe, so if this thread turns into a moratorium on Notion, I get it. Still, I'm open to discussion, so snark is unnecessary.)

I use dokuwiki to document everything (mostly)

https://wiki.gardiol.org/ in case it could be useful to anybody.

My pet project.

Mostly to remember what I did and why. But also help others, and offer a different view on the self host approach (Gentoo, no systemd, podman rootless... ).

And to have fun, mostly.
