What This Skill Does
Homelab server management via the homebutler CLI. Covers system status, Docker container control, Wake-on-LAN, port scanning, network discovery, and resource alerts across multiple remote servers over SSH. Includes a TUI dashboard, a web dashboard, and a built-in MCP server.
A single binary with JSON output handles status, Docker, WoL, and network scanning across multiple servers, replacing a mix of separate SSH sessions, scripts, and monitoring tools.
When to use it
- Check CPU and memory usage across all homelab servers
- Restart a crashed Docker container on a remote Raspberry Pi
- Wake a sleeping NAS before transferring files
- Scan the local network to see which devices are online
- Deploy homebutler to a new server without leaving the terminal
Example Workflow
Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.
User asks: Any alerts across all servers?
- 1Run homebutler alerts --all
- 2Parse JSON output for status fields
- 3Identify any resources with warning or critical status
- 4Summarize which servers and resources are affected
Reports that rpi shows memory at 87% (warning) and vps disk is at 91% (critical), all other resources are ok.
