Then, I said homelab AI, I thought it's an interesting post about local GPU setup (and I am really interested in this topic).. but no, just another hype post about how to use whatever-code...
I was also hoping to put out another post on my homelab setup, it has some neat stuff, but I haven't had a chance to finish it.
The biggest issue I've noticed is that the chat templates for open models are really hit or miss. The default Qwen3.6 chat template mostly works these days, but depending on your workload it may cause major issues. There are plenty of "fixed" chat templates on hugging face, but people report mixed success. It really seems to depend a lot on what the tool you're using expects.
Is it a deployment automation platform where it can run a project’s docker services, with rollback and all?
On the Podman side, I wrote a tool named Materia[1] for it, but there's also the wonderful Ansible quadlet role as well as Quadit and Orchess.

But there is a different tool that is an API accessing CLI: https://codeberg.org/forgejo-contrib/forgejo-cli
https://codeberg.org/dragonfyre13/forgejo-opencode
Still tinkering with it, but the gist is that I can invoke Opencode with /oc inside of an Forgejo issue, then it will come back with a PR for me to review.
I am also creating this and enjoyed the post and comments all going through the same thing :)
> I’ll share my homelab setup soon. There are about a dozen docker compose stacks for the services that I manage.
That is probably neat, but before I read, how many thousands of dollars would I need to spend to acquire the RAM and GPUs needed to do something similar?
