The kombify platform consists of six interconnected tools, each solving a specific problem in the homelab infrastructure lifecycle.

​
The Big Picture

​
Tool Overview

StackKits

Infrastructure BlueprintsPre-validated CUE schemas that define homelab configurations. Choose a blueprint, customize it, and let kombify handle the rest.→ “What should I build?”

Simulate

Test Before DeploySpin up simulated nodes in Docker to test your configuration. Full SSH access, realistic networking, zero risk.→ “Will it work?”

TechStack

Deploy & OrchestrateThe control plane that provisions your infrastructure using OpenTofu and manages your nodes via secure gRPC agents.→ “Deploy it!”

kombify Cloud

Managed PlatformSaaS platform with SSO, team management, and multi-homelab support. Let us handle the complexity.→ “Manage it”

kombify AI

Intelligent AutomationConversational assistants and autonomous agents that monitor, troubleshoot, and maintain your homelab.→ “Make it smart”

SpeechKit

Voice FrameworkWindows-first STT/TTS framework powering voice interaction across kombify AI with 6 providers and real-time voice agent mode.→ “Talk to it”

Complete Workflow

​
Architecture Layers

​
Layer 1: Open Core (Self-Hosted)

These tools are open-source and can run entirely on your infrastructure:

​
Layer 2: SaaS Platform (Managed)

Optional managed services that add enterprise features:

How They Connect

​
The kombination.yaml File

All tools share a common configuration format: 
# kombination.yaml - The universal config
stackkit: base-kit           # ← StackKit to use
version: "1.0.0"

domain: homelab.local
email: you@example.com

nodes:
  - name: server-1
    ip: 192.168.1.10
    role: primary
