Manage Docker via Dockhand — the preferred control plane in this homelab — and its Hawser remote agents. Covers the Dockhand architecture (central server + Hawser Standard/Edge agents), how to drive it (the mcp-dockhand MCP server or its REST API),…
Shared foundational knowledge for working with Docker Compose stacks — the compose file format, services/networks/volumes/secrets, environment and .env handling, healthchecks, common operations (up/down/pull/logs/ps), and safe-change practices. Load this for…
Understand and troubleshoot a Docker host running inside Proxmox — as a VM or as a privileged/unprivileged LXC — and how VLAN networking, macvlan/ipvlan, VLAN-aware bridges, and passed-through/bind-mounted storage interact across the Proxmox and Docker…
Entry point and router for managing Docker in a homelab. Load this first for any Docker request — it identifies which control plane is in use (Dockhand preferred, or Portainer/Dockge/raw Engine), establishes the version check, and routes to the right skill…
Manage Docker compose stacks via Dockge — a file-based stack manager that stores stacks as compose files under /opt/stacks. Covers its file-on-disk model, the lack of a REST API/MCP (so operations are filesystem- or SSH-oriented), and how to edit stacks…
Set up and manage domain routing for homelab services using nginx-proxy-manager (NPM) driven by Docker container labels via npm-docker-sync. Load this when the user wants to expose a container/stack at a domain, debug why a service isn't routing, or…
Manage Docker (and Kubernetes) via Portainer's REST API or the official portainer-mcp server — environments/endpoints, stacks, containers/images/networks/volumes, and the Docker API proxy. Load this when the user manages Docker with Portainer rather than…
Orientation for the homelab-assist plugin suite — what plugins and skills exist (Proxmox, Docker), how they relate, and how to route a homelab request to the right skill. Load this when the user makes a broad homelab request, when you're unsure which homelab…
