My Homelab AI Dev Platform

I've been doing something pretty similar, except instead of having a persistent opencode server, I've been using this workflow that runs opencode inside of the Forgejo action runners:

Still tinkering with it, but the gist is that I can invoke Opencode with /oc inside of an Forgejo issue, then it will come back with a PR for me to review.

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."

Some times I feel like a lot of people in tech independently go through the same things right around the same time with few people writing/sharing about it.

I am also creating this and enjoyed the post and comments all going through the same thing :)

I've been trying to find the motivation to do a write up on my AI lab, and this is just what I needed. Thanks for sharing. My setup is a similar idea, just with n8n/git/argo/k3s. It's mainly for automated workflows that Qwen or Gemma4 can handle.

Im doing something very similar. Running my OpenCode on a proxmox lxc. I have an additional layer of Kimaki, which gives you Discord integration (hate it or love it). Chatting with your codebase (voice messages, too, if that’s your jam), is very very cool.

> I set up OpenCode Web UI with Git access to make my homelab easier to manage. OpenCode pushes to Git, I approve the PRs, GitOps deploys the changes. Best of all, OpenCode runs as a server with persistent coding sessions synced across devices.

> I’ll share my homelab setup soon. There are about a dozen docker compose stacks for the services that I manage.

That is probably neat, but before I read, how many thousands of dollars would I need to spend to acquire the RAM and GPUs needed to do something similar?

Very cool, we're doing similar except we let agents open PRs as well + we track release metadata and agentic sessions via our ReARM system + we've recently launched an option for agents to track helm-based deployments via ReARM - https://docs.rearmhq.com/workflows/devops.html

How do you run inference for Open Code? What models are you running

Do you use this at work or is it for vibe coding? Also, I don’t quite understand the problem you are solving. The solutions is a lot of technical parts put together, but why?

I wonder how gitops is done with docker compose

So first post in the blog, and it went directly HN frontpage.

Then, I said homelab AI, I thought it's an interesting post about local GPU setup (and I am really interested in this topic).. but no, just another hype post about how to use whatever-code...

Really cool! Do you autoapprove edits or do you approve manually?
