iHomeNerd is meant to be a public and free local AI brain.
Privacy here means your household data stays on your hardware.
This page is the canonical summary of the current trial paths.
What you can do today: use Docker on a spare Linux machine or a
headless Linux box you already reach over SSH, with trusted-AI guidance
if you are an early adopter; run the compatibility check; compare Docker,
VM, and live-image paths; or connect directly to a Brain already running
on your LAN.
Hardware decision tree: if your busy Windows or Mac laptop is your daily
machine, wait for the guided VM. If you have a spare mini-PC or wipeable
Linux machine, Docker is reasonable now. If the target is a mystery gaming
rig or unknown-state box, wait for the live image instead of improvising.
Safety note: Docker still changes the host machine. Use a spare, wipeable,
or SSH-accessible Linux target first, not your main Windows or Mac install.
