My homelab is mostly text: Docker Swarm compose files, bootc Containerfiles, Forgejo workflows, a few Ansible playbooks and this Hugo blog. All of it lives in git, and for years the workflow has been the same: edit in an editor, render, deploy, check the logs, repeat.

Over the last months two coding agents moved into that loop: opencode and Claude Code. This post covers how I set them up, what they do for me, and where I still keep my hands on the wheel.
