• 🧠 Smart by default - No configuration bikeshedding
• 🤖 Purpose-built for home AI - Not adapted from enterprise
• 🚀 Modern architecture - Built with 2025 best practices
• 🎮 Consumer-grade UX - Your family can actually use it

Container Actions

Available actions for containers:

• start - Start a stopped container
• stop - Stop a running container
• restart - Restart a container
• remove - Remove a container (with optional force)

Example:

curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/v1/containers/homie_core/action \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"action": "restart", "timeout": 30}'

Service Configuration

Services are defined in the configuration file or can be created via API:

services:
  my_service:
    image: "nginx:latest"
    enabled: true
    restart_policy: "unless-stopped"
    environment:
      ENV_VAR: "value"
    ports:
      - "80:80"
    volumes:
      - "./data/nginx:/usr/share/nginx/html"
    depends_on:
      - postgres
    labels:
      io.homie.managed: "true"
      io.homie.service: "my_service"

Backup and Restore

Automated Backups

Backups are automatically created based on the configured schedule. They include:

• Configuration files
• Service data directories
• Metadata about the backup

Manual Backup

# Via API
POST /api/v1/backup
{
  "services": ["homie_core", "postgres"]  # Optional: specific services
}

Restore from Backup

# Via API
POST /api/v1/restore
{
  "backup_filename": "orchestrator_backup_20250118_120000.tar.gz"
}

Monitoring and Metrics

The orchestrator provides Prometheus-compatible metrics at /metrics:

• orchestrator_containers_managed_total - Number of managed containers
• orchestrator_container_status - Container status (1=running, 0=stopped, -1=error)
• orchestrator_health_check_status - Health check results
• orchestrator_api_requests_total - API request counts
• orchestrator_uptime_seconds - Orchestrator uptime

Running in Development

1. Install dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Set environment variables:

export ORCHESTRATOR_CONFIG_PATH=/path/to/config
export ORCHESTRATOR_DATA_PATH=/path/to/data

3. Run the orchestrator:

python -m src.orchestrator.main

Security Considerations

• The orchestrator runs with privileged Docker access
• Secure the API with authentication in production
• Use environment variables for sensitive configuration
• Regularly update container images
• Monitor access logs and metrics
