What you need first
- A server connected to your account. See Connect a server.
- A kombify account. How much AI you can use depends on your plan.
What kombify AI can read
Reading changes nothing on your server. kombify AI can look at:- the status and health of your servers and the services on them;
- the processes and containers that run on a server;
- the state of your backup jobs and whether the newest backup is current;
- the updates that are available for the system and for your services.
What kombify AI can change
Each change is a typed action that your homelab runs itself. kombify AI cannot run a free-form command.
Anything not on this list is not something kombify AI can do on your server.
How approval works
kombify AI acts with your own rights, never with more. Some actions need your approval first, and then one click is enough. Every action is checked before it runs, is logged and leaves a receipt. You can deny an action, and a denied action has no effect.What it uses
AI use draws on the monthly AI credits of your plan. When the credits are used up, the free models stay available.Use your own AI agent instead
You can connect an agent you already use, such as Claude Code, Codex or Cursor. It runs the localstackkit MCP server on the computer that holds your
homelab workspace. By default it can read, and it can change something only
after you turn on a write gate. See
Connect your own AI agent.
If something goes wrong
- If kombify AI says it cannot reach a server, check the server in Monitoring. A server that is offline or limited cannot take an action.
- If an update returned to the previous release, the job result names the outcome and the step that failed. Ask kombify AI to read it.
- For anything else, write to info@kombify.io. Never send a password.
