Modern Homelab describes a homelab spanning a Home environment and a Cloud
environment. Its definition keeps control and default data authority at Home
and requires explicitly declared connections and publication between locations.
Modern Homelab is an alpha definition archive without a supported
installation path. You can initialize, validate and generate it with the
released CLI. Downloading its archive does not establish a working
connection between hosts, protected application access or recovery across
locations. Use Basement Kit or Cloud Kit for an existing installation guide.
What the alpha archive contains
The public StackKits release
includes Modern Homelab definition archives alongside the CLI. They describe
the intended sites, application placement, connections and authority boundaries.
Review the release’s release-evidence.json for the runtime evidence that is
actually attached to that version.
The toolchain-only installation guide
explains how to download the CLI and Modern definitions. A complete Modern deployment
still needs concrete connection, identity, routing, TLS and location-failure
behavior. A configuration or generated plan alone does not verify those behaviors.
Choose an entry path
Choose Basement Kit for an existing Linux host
at home, or Cloud Kit for an existing cloud host
with a domain you control. Their guides keep configuration bootstrap and
release-specific runtime evidence separate.
Keep the same distinction when exploring Modern: protect existing data and
retain each workspace’s configuration and operation output. Do not assume
that an application remains available during a connection or Cloud outage
until the selected release has evidence for that behavior.
See Choose a StackKit for all entry paths
and application delivery compatibility
