About the project
Homelab utility: a single Go binary that remembers your server's state and reports only meaningful changes — containers, ports, disks, services. No daemon or database; ships with CLI, JSON, web dashboard, and a built-in MCP server for AI agents.
Useful for
- Run homebutler report from cron to get alerts about recreated containers and stopped services
- Check which process owns a port via homebutler inventory scan
- Connect the homebutler MCP server to an AI assistant so it can read server state without SSH access

Stars per day
Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.

Star trust
Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.
These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
