The AI manages the home media stack his whole family uses

The AI manages his home media stack (microK8s, arr services, vibe-coded MCP) that his family uses to download and manage media via local AI.

How it works

  1. The AI runs the media stack on a small Kubernetes setup
  2. Looks after the download services
  3. Family members ask the local AI for media
  4. The stack fetches and manages it
