Yes. Documentation.
Documentation aaaalll the way.
You are right. In two months you wont remember the shit you had to enable/disable to make things work.
Doing things that arent a reocurring doing should be documented. Not crazy. A basic how to set up is enough.
Common/reocurring errors/situations? Document 'em
Got a semi permanent fix for problem, so that it will most likely never come up again, but possibly in 5 years? Document it fella.
You’ll kiss your past self on the head and say thanks when you have an critical ticket in 5 years and remember nothing about the doing itself but that you wrote some documentation.
It will save your ass and possibly you might come out as the hero of the day for having a solution right away for a super nieche problem.
I’ve making a private hosted documentation for stuff, tricks and problems i learn at work.
I’ve had plenty of situatuons where i remembered that i already encountered such a situation yeeeaars ago at my previois employer and that i’ve written somtehting down in my personal documentation.
Bam and just by a few mins I’ve got either a really good or at least a shittysysadmin-style solution that works.
