err . i don't really. well I do a bit. the obvious one is config-as-documentation: docker compose mainly. I'm in the middle from migrating from storing them in portainer's internal store to using git (and dockhand), which should improve their role as documentation with the addition of vcs.
in addition I have a handful of markdown notes in my obsidian vault to track a few things. there's some general terminal stuff command references, which aren't strictly for the server. i have a list off all my hard drives, including their SN,PN,Partition UUID and label (this is their partition/volume label as well an actual physical label on them. It makes moving between operations on my host machine, omv VM and physical drive easy. its a maddening combination of using three or more command ouputs to map a drive between whatever info is available in proxmox, a vm or physically otherwise!

This is exactly why I'm asking, actually! I've been working over the past couple of weeks to move everything that I had done under CasaOS to independent compose files in Dockhand. Yesterday I ran into a couple of things that must have been Casa-specific but I had no record of it and I'll be honest, my memory is garbage.
