The full story
Gerson Rod bought a 10-year-old HP Z240 tower knowing nothing about homelabs or virtualisation, and let AI drive. After a saga with the wrong boot image, he installed Proxmox, gave the AI agent its own API token and kept an "LLM wiki" of everything it learned.
The agent then provisioned a Debian container with OpenTofu (Terraform), failing, fixing and succeeding, all the way to a working remote desktop. He explains why infrastructure as code suits an AI agent.
