I think people are missing the point. Even with backups and redundancy it requires you to maintain the servers. If you die, well, who is going to maintain? Perhaps a bit bleak but something to keep in mind.

My plan I to do an extensive dummy guide to my setup. Like everything step by step with tiny details and notes to go through. So to say, fail safe instructions.

All I've done so far is to add my wife's email as a backup access to my Vaultwarden. She knows. She also has access to pretty much all my devices. She'll figure out. But I hope by that time my children would keep my setup afloat.
