home labs

Hands-on guide to run AI privately on your home lab: launch a local LLM API (Ollama or llama.cpp), build an offline voice assistant (Vosk STT + espeak TTS), detect SSH log anomalies with IsolationForest, and add private RAG search (sentence-transformers + Chroma). Provides apt/dnf/zypper commands, Bash/Python snippets, and ops tips for hardware, services, storage, and security.

Turn your homelab terminal into a shell-native copilot: this guide shows how to run a private, zero-cost local LLM with Ollama, add a tiny ai.sh Bash client (switchable to OpenAI), and automate real tasks—summarizing logs, generating daily health reports, and translating natural language to safe, confirm-before-run Bash—plus tips, install steps, and cron-ready scripts.
