A local LLM server build to use as a home lab, automation server and personal assistant for my home. The project is ongoing and provides an opportunity for me to learn how to set up local LLMs and deploy tools like n8n to servers using containers.
How I repurposed an old gaming rig into a self-hosted LLM and automation server using Debian Linux and Docker, running entirely behind my own firewall.
A practical walkthrough for installing Docker on Debian, configuring n8n with nginx using Docker Compose, and getting a self-hosted automation server running on a home network.
How I deployed Claude Code across a home lab, connected it to n8n automations, and built a distributed AI agent network accessible from anywhere using Tailscale.
