Self-Hosted System Handover Guide

Turn a working self-hosted setup into something you—or another technician—can understand later.

Included for $299

• One remote discovery session of up to 90 minutes for one existing host and up to five applications.
• An inventory of applications, versions where available, service locations, ports, and responsible accounts.
• A map of configuration and data locations, dependencies, update steps, and the existing backup process.
• A practical startup, shutdown, and troubleshooting checklist based on the working setup.
• An editable handover guide, a 30-minute review call, and one round of factual corrections.

Useful when knowledge lives in your head

This fits a small server that someone built over time, a system you inherited, or a business that needs clear ownership before the original administrator becomes unavailable.

Documentation has limits

We document accessible information and mark anything that cannot be verified. Passwords and recovery codes belong in your password manager, not in this guide. This is not a security audit, repair service, full asset inventory, or proof that backups restore. Backup testing and configuration changes are separate.

Before you order

Contact Mike with your goal, equipment or apps, and preferred appointment times. We confirm compatibility, the included work, and scheduling before you buy. Please do not send passwords, recovery codes, or private records through the contact form.

How delivery works

This is a remote professional service. No physical item is shipped and checkout does not reserve an immediate appointment. You keep ownership of your accounts and enter your own credentials. Hardware, subscriptions, third-party fees, and work beyond the selected scope are separate; any extra work needs your approval.
