Recipes
Pre-built, parameterized templates that Claude uses to provision your homelab. Each recipe is a standalone Terraform module, Ansible playbook, or Kubernetes manifest.
Claude picks the right recipe for the job, fills in your specific IPs and hostnames, and applies it — showing you the plan before changing anything.
| Recipe | What it creates |
|---|---|
| proxmox-lxc | Single Debian 12 LXC container with static IP and SSH key injection |
| proxmox-vm | Generic KVM VM, boots from ISO for OS installation |
| talos-cluster | Talos Linux Kubernetes cluster VMs (control plane + workers) |
| Recipe | What it deploys |
|---|---|
| traefik | Traefik v3 reverse proxy with Let’s Encrypt DNS-01 via Cloudflare |
| monitoring | Prometheus + Grafana + Alertmanager + optional Proxmox PVE exporter |
| arr-stack | Sonarr, Radarr, Prowlarr, Bazarr, Overseerr, SABnzbd behind gluetun VPN |
| wireguard | WireGuard VPN server with per-client keypair generation and QR codes |
| authelia | Authentik SSO via Docker Compose (PostgreSQL + Redis + server + worker) |
| truenas | TrueNAS Scale via REST API — ZFS pool, datasets, NFS shares |
| home-assistant | Traefik route for Home Assistant OS + trusted_proxies instructions |
| Recipe | What it applies |
|---|---|
| base-namespaces | Base namespace set (ingress-system, apps, monitoring) |
| metallb | MetalLB IP pool for bare-metal LoadBalancer services |
Every recipe is usable without Claude — just copy the example vars file, edit it, and run:
# Terraform recipe
cd recipes/terraform/proxmox-lxc
cp terraform.tfvars.example terraform.tfvars
# edit terraform.tfvars
terraform init && terraform apply
# Ansible recipe
cd recipes/ansible/traefik
ansible-playbook playbook.yml -i inventory.yml \
--extra-vars "cf_api_token=... acme_email=..."
