I don't want to be a hater, but exposing access to your homelab through a "fully vibe coded" application (it's mentioned at the bottom of the README) is probably not a good idea.

The idea itself sounds fun though

It's open source. Audit it like you would any other service that exposed your homelab to the Internet. How do you know XYZ repo isn't coded for some bootcampers capstone project? I bet those are even less secure.

Edit: should have mentioned I am a bootcamp grad, not just throwing random shade.

I gate access to my homelab using Wireguard.

Wireguard is widely deployed across the world, and has been worked on for years.

No random new repo that was vibe coded can measure up in the slightest to that.
