I still don't want to give Claude SSH access, so I built a doctor for my homelab

A few weeks ago I wrote about why I don't want to give Claude SSH access to my home server.

It's not that AI agents are useless. It's the opposite. They got good enough that handing one a shell started to feel reckless.

A shell isn't really an interface. It's a weapon with tab completion. It can read anything, delete anything, restart anything, and confidently run the wrong command on the wrong machine at 2am.

So I've been building HomeButler in the other direction:

Not "AI runs my server."
