Tdarr
Running Local AI Alongside Media Services Without Fighting Your GPU
Run Ollama, Tdarr, Plex, Jellyfin, and Frigate on the same homelab more safely by understanding NVENC, NVDEC, CUDA, VRAM, scheduling, and monitoring.
Run Google Gemma Locally with Ollama, Open WebUI, and Codex CLI
Connect Gemma, Ollama, Open WebUI, and Codex CLI on a private Linux host, with loopback access and configuration checks; local weights alone do not establish an offline workflow.
