Configure OPNsense gateway groups for WAN failover and load balancing, then layer policy-based routing so specific hosts or VLANs use a chosen WAN link.

RabbitMQ vs NATS for a self-hosted app: routing, delivery guarantees, Docker Compose setups, Python code, and which broker to run for background jobs.

Meilisearch and Typesense both promise instant search without Elasticsearch's weight. I ran both in Docker and picked a winner per self-hosted use case.

A 2026-09-22 patch left a self-hosted model's weights untouched but made it more confident on nonsense input. Six systems compared, real numbers only.

One central CrowdSec LAPI, remote log-parsing agents, and bouncers on every box, so an SSH brute-force on one server gets blocked everywhere else too.

Docker MCP Toolkit sandboxes AI agent tools in containers. Here's exactly what that isolation stops, where it silently breaks, and how to configure it safely.

Jev, Von, and SemIf scored head to head on real commit history: a frozen 4B general model beat a purpose-built 395M decision model on every task tested.

NetAlertX v26.9.0 ships a built-in MCP server with 12 tools. Learn how to wire it into Claude Code, what it exposes, and when to use Home Assistant instead.

Skeleton Key MCP swaps four narrow homelab tokens for one Vaultwarden vault and one OAuth consent flow. Here is what that buys you, and what it risks.

Two Proxmox MCP servers can query your cluster over chat, but the real safety boundary is a scoped PVEAuditor API token, not a config permission flag.

Home Assistant ships two MCP integrations, not one. One turns your house into a server for Claude and ChatGPT. The other is narrower than its name suggests.

Komodo's community MCP server beats mounting the Docker socket or handing an AI agent SSH: scoped auth, per-tool RBAC, and confirmation before deletes.
