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…
How to research version-correct, canonical answers for homelab software (Proxmox, Docker, Dockhand, Portainer, nginx-proxy-manager, etc.) without being misled by stale search results. Load this whenever you are not fully confident about a configuration,…
The change-approval and SSH-confirmation policy for ALL homelab operations (Proxmox, Docker, and any other infrastructure). Load and apply this before performing any action that changes a homelab system or that requires SSH/host access. Other homelab skills…
How to store and use homelab credentials securely via the OS-native secret store (macOS Keychain, Windows Credential Vault, Linux libsecret/pass) instead of plaintext env vars, dotfiles, or committed files — and how to handle SSH auth (keys over passwords,…
The execution discipline and guardrails for doing ANYTHING over SSH on a homelab host (Proxmox nodes, Docker hosts, NAS, etc.). SSH is root-level power with no undo, so load this whenever a task will run shell commands or edit files on a host over SSH. Covers…
How to authenticate to and call the Proxmox VE REST API — API token setup, the pve-api.sh helper, common endpoints, and how to poll background tasks. Load this when you need to make Proxmox API calls directly (any VM/LXC/storage/backup/cluster operation that…
Host-level Proxmox configuration that the REST API cannot do and requires SSH/file edits — GPU and PCIe passthrough, VFIO/IOMMU/kernel-module setup, unprivileged-LXC lxc.idmap UID/GID remapping, LXC features (nesting/keyctl/fuse), hookscripts, and advanced…
Manage Proxmox LXC containers via the REST API — list, inspect, start/stop, create, clone, migrate, snapshot, and basic config. Covers the privileged-vs-unprivileged distinction and where simple mount points end and host-file edits begin. Load this for…
Entry point and router for managing Proxmox VE. Load this first for any Proxmox request — it establishes the version check, the API-first-vs-SSH decision, how to authenticate, and which specific Proxmox skill to use (VMs, LXC, storage/backups, updates, or…
Understand and manage Proxmox storage and backups via the REST API — list storage and content, understand storage types (dir/LVM/ZFS/NFS/CIFS/PBS), run vzdump backups, schedule backup jobs, and restore VMs/LXC from archives or Proxmox Backup Server. Load this…
Check for and apply Proxmox VE package updates safely via the API, understand the enterprise vs no-subscription repositories, and navigate major-version upgrade gotchas (8.x to 9.x). Load this when the user wants to check for updates, patch, or upgrade…
Manage Proxmox QEMU/KVM virtual machines via the REST API — list, inspect, start/stop/reboot, create, clone, migrate, snapshot/rollback, resize disks, and edit VM config. Load this for any virtual-machine task on Proxmox. For GPU/PCIe passthrough or other…
