Server details manager
So my list of vps is increasing... I am adding 2-3 new vps accounts every month. I am finding it difficult to remember all credentials, ips, configuration details, renewal dates charges etc.
What do you guys use to keep this information organized? Any thoughts or suggestions?

excel,
use xxxx.domain.com for every VPS so you don't need to remember IP address.
use SSH-KEY to log-in, so you don't need to save your credential on plain text.
or hired someone to coded that for you
@KuJoe built something some time ago: https://github.com/KuJoe/KToYS
Use a spreadsheet for inventory, keepass for credentials.
Keep them separate.
Royal TS(X) is great for this, works on macos, windows and they have an app as well. You can save your credentials (keys, passwords, IP's, names and more) in an encrypted document.
I use 1Password for this... not the best, but okay.
Maybe something like that?

This, and I also have a LibreOffice spreadsheet to track expiration dates, and a regular plain-text file to save login details to the providers' control panels.
Hello,
For windows OS you can use remote desktop connection manager, for linux OS i would also use key pairing. In order to remember renewal dates maybe you could use some kind of calendar or outlook appointments ?
Thank you @all for your answers. Not sure which will work for me. I think MsExcel seems to be my best bet.
Any other self-hosted solutions to save passwords (so me and my team can access them)?
For Hexodo I created a Django app that syncs with monitoring and other APIs, everything in one place
I can add a password field into KToYS fairly easily if that looks like something you'd want to use.
Thanks for the mention.
The (probably) overkill way, but Salt provides some nice utilities for quickly seeing what a host has. For example, for checking what IPs I have on an interface...
There is also this, if I forget what interface I should even be using...
I store the renewals/etc in Fantastical
Thanks. Can you share more details?
This is great, just picked it up. Thank you!
