I've been designing something called Helm. It started as "Platform v2" — a productized version of the agentic infrastructure I built on my homelab. Multi-user, multi-host, installable on a mini PC, runs your services, manages your agents, handles your backups. The kind of thing a family or a small business could use without knowing what Docker is. The architecture document is over 1,000 lines long. It covers federation between hosts, emergency WiFi that activates during blackouts, community mesh networking over LoRa radios, municipality notification templates for CERT volunteers, GPU-accelerated local AI services, an eBay selling agent, accessibility via voice interaction, a dual catalog system with community contributions, and a deployment profile system that adapts the setup wizard for homes vs small businesses. I am not a developer. I'm a Windows systems administrator. I have a 2-year degree from an online college. My GitHub history before February 2026 is bash and PowerShell script
