Comment on How my AI Agent views and maintains "our" homelab

  I guess I’m confused… The built in functionality seems like the easier way to accomplish the same, you seemed to have spent a large amount of time and are proud of this project, and wanted to share it, but also acknowledge that it’s worse than what already exists, and uses more resources idly. Why should anybody else do this?

    I mean it is an interesting test for ai capabilities and limitations. You have an existing low tech deterministic use case and setup and can compare that with the ai setup

      There is no comparison, I made the comparison myself. In all honesty I feel like they didn’t know about basic docker and linux concepts until my comment.

        Well you asked why anybody else would do it and I answered on that

        I knew dockhand/portainer would do docker updates better, i knew auto updates can be setup via cron for os updates, etc.

        i am neither a sys admin, nor a programmer, i just run a hobby homelab and like to tinker and learn. its a good enough usecase for me to explore the possibilities

    So dont do it!

    Its a learning experience, how can a coding agent be used in a non coding way? is it better or worse? i guess i have my answers now,

    this may not be the ideal usecase, but it surely shows that these agents can be used for other things.

      What answer did you arrive at? Are you planning on ending the test?

        Its has produced great documentation for my homelab. Thats what it did best, could not have done it without having it conduct the tasks it was asked to do
