I got sick of the work around it, so one weekend recently, while my partner was out of town, I used Claude to help re-architect my whole homelab to be effectively 100% IaC with OpenTofu and Salt. Went through the whole architecture, networking, etc. Now I would just need to pull down the repo to my Mac and can spin everything up via PXE to install Proxmox, Ubuntu, etc., and then I have a scheduled golden image build, this can spin up my network devices with a bunch of VLANs and east-west firewalls, Kea and Unbound, even more esoteric things like a VM that passes through a USB ADS-B receiver. It spins up Talos to drive a Kubernetes cluster and everything from there. The only thing it can't (or doesn't?) manage is my Synology servers.
