Public pages from copec’s homelab wiki.
topics/homelab
- About this homelab — A small home datacenter run like production — Proxmox and Ceph, VyOS with VLANs, InfiniBand, ZFS, FreeIPA, a self-hosted DNS primary, WireGuard failover, all declared in Salt and changed through merge requests, with an AI agent working alongside the operator.
topics/saintcon
- Arena Fighter — tester observations and feedback (2026-10-05) — Public tester notes on Arena Fighter (arena.bagofassets.com), the SAINTCON bot game by Tristan Rhodes. What we built and played, ladder-wide numbers from 416 archived matches, what works well, and feedback (a centre-pillar stalemate, docs links that 404 on the hosted ladder, no local test path for outside players, small inconsistencies).
topics/salt
- mcp-salt: letting AI agents operate a SaltStack fleet — mcp-salt is an MCP server that lets AI agents inspect and change a SaltStack fleet through salt-api, under their own per-identity credentials. This page covers its architecture, its tool families (fleet operations, two-phase changes, an LLM-maintained wiki, GitLab merge requests, mTLS client certificates and an ‘external brain’ of facts and reasoning), the master-side runners behind them, and the security model: the server only advises and Salt decides, writes go through runners, every change is previewed and confirmed, secrets stay out of job space, everything is audited, and humans merge.
