This is great. Homelab AI feels like it's going to fun as heck. I currently have Claude maintain my homelab across all devices; it made homelab setup and maintenance go from "This is a trap that will fascinate you for years but never fully work right and waste time that would have better been spent elsewhere" to "This is actually a great idea and really extends my capabilities."

I’ve found, even using the latest models, there are some time saving nuggets but mostly subtle config difficulties that just cause an enormous amount of debugging and a net negative on balance, unless you’re just asking for super targeted tasks like “set up a docker compose file” or “give me an NSD config.” But with both of those you need to already know you need the underlying tech and what to ask.

Of course, it still requires tremendous domain knowledge, although that domain knowledge is faster acquired working with AI. However, although the debugging trap is of course real with ALL sub-Fable models it seems, it takes the tedium out of running a homelab and turns it into a net positive to even have in your home!
