FOR HOMELABBERS

Your Lab.
Private AI.
Your Call.

ArgoBox is optimizing for homelabbers first.
One canonical stack. Approval-first agents. No blind trust.

Why Self-Host with ArgoBox

Your Hardware, Your Rules

Deploy on your own Proxmox, Docker, Unraid, or other approved targets. The point is control, not SaaS dependence.

💰

Approval-First AI

Agents do not get blind shell trust. Mutations hit an approval queue, safe reads stay bounded, and everything is logged.

🔧

Built for Tinkerers

The stack is still hackable, but the public promise is one canonical homelab path first, not a grab bag of disconnected modules.

Real Operator Workflow

Hermes routes work, ArgoBox enforces policy, OpenClaw asks for actions, and you stay in control of privileged changes.

What Ships First

This is the current wedge, in plain terms.

Layer Default Why it matters
Control plane ArgoBox Approval queue, audit trail, capability gating
Operator routing Hermes One operator workflow across homelab targets
Agent runtime OpenClaw Action requests through a bounded interface
Home automation Home Assistant Automation substrate ArgoBox wraps instead of replacing
Infrastructure targets Proxmox / Docker / Unraid Approved adapters instead of direct shell trust
Networking Tailscale Mesh connectivity for trusted node access
Operator proof Approval-first demo One boring, repeatable workflow that actually works
Framework path Reference modules Reuse after the hardened core proves itself

The Stack

The control plane, runtime, and automation substrate being hardened first.

ArgoBox
Control Plane

Approval queue, capability gating, and audit trail for agent actions

Hermes
Operator Routing

Decides what should execute, what stays read-only, and what needs approval

OpenClaw
Agent Runtime

Requests actions through ArgoBox instead of receiving direct infrastructure trust

Home Assistant
Automation Substrate

Canonical home automation layer for the homelab-first wedge

Proxmox / Docker / Unraid
Targets

The real systems ArgoBox coordinates once you wire the adapters

Tailscale
Networking

Mesh access across nodes without exposing raw admin endpoints publicly

Try It Now

Real labs if you want them, but the main proof is a boring operator loop you can trust.
