🎯 KEY CAPABILITIES IMPLEMENTED:
✅ Intelligent code analysis and generation across multiple languages
✅ Infrastructure-aware AI that understands NixOS home lab architecture
✅ Context-aware assistance for fullstack web development workflows
✅ Privacy-preserving local AI processing with enterprise-grade security
✅ Automated project management and task orchestration
✅ Real-time monitoring and health checks for AI services
✅ Scalable architecture supporting future AI model additions
🔒 SECURITY & PRIVACY FEATURES:
• Complete local processing - no external API calls
• Security hardening with restricted user permissions
• Resource limits and isolation for AI services
• Comprehensive logging and monitoring for security audit trails
📈 IMPLEMENTATION ROADMAP:
• Phase 1: Foundation & Core Services (Weeks 1-3) ✅ COMPLETED
• Phase 2: RAG Integration (Weeks 4-6) - Ready for implementation
• Phase 3: MCP Integration (Weeks 7-9) - Architecture defined
• Phase 4: Advanced Features (Weeks 10-12) - Roadmap established
This integration transforms the home lab into an intelligent development environment where AI understands infrastructure, manages complex projects, and provides expert assistance while maintaining complete privacy through local processing.
IMPACT: Creates a self-contained, intelligent development ecosystem that rivals cloud-based AI services while maintaining complete data sovereignty and privacy.
- Remove /mnt/storage/media from systemd.tmpfiles.rules (it's a ZFS dataset mount point)
- Add ExecStartPost to set proper permissions on ZFS-mounted media directory
- Update NFS research documentation with ZFS integration best practices
- Add section explaining ZFS mount point vs tmpfiles.rules conflicts
This resolves the potential conflict where tmpfiles tries to create a directory
that ZFS wants to use as a mount point for the storage/media dataset.
- Remove duplicate sma user definition from incus.nix module
- The sma user is properly defined in modules/users/sma.nix with incus-admin group
- This resolves the isNormalUser/isSystemUser assertion failure blocking congenital-optimist rebuild
- Clean up grey-area configuration and modularize services
- Update SSH keys with correct IP addresses for grey-area and reverse-proxy
- Add nginx stream configuration on reverse-proxy to forward port 2222 to apps:22
- Update firewall rules to allow port 2222 for Git SSH access
- Configure Forgejo to use SSH_PORT = 2222 for Git operations
- Add comprehensive SSH forwarding research documentation
- Enable Git operations via git@git.geokkjer.eu:2222
Phase 1 implementation using nginx stream module complete.
Ready for testing and potential Phase 2 migration to HAProxy.
- Removed system/ directory, merged applications into users/geir.nix
- Simplified fonts.nix to bare minimum (users can add more)
- Moved transmission.nix to sleeper-service/services/ (machine-specific)
- Organized grey-area services into services/ directory
- Updated import paths and tested all configurations
- Added research documentation for deploy-rs and GNU Stow
