The full story

The poster set up extra OpenThread border router containers in Docker VMs on Proxmox, connected them to SLZB-MR radios, and shared credentials from the Thread network first set up in Home Assistant OS, giving redundant border routers.

He says he relied heavily on Claude Desktop to debug and even to go in and tweak things in his Proxmox VMs. The guide warns firmly about which firmware the radio must run.

What this is. Real projects where people used Claude to build, fix, port, revive or take apart something, from jailbroken Kindles to rebuilt DOS games, plus the times it went badly wrong. Every build links to where it was shared, and every source is listed here.

How far to trust it. We summarise what people reported and say what each build rests on: a full write-up with code, a short post, or a passing comment. We haven't tested them ourselves. Photos are shown from the original sources with credit. Only modify hardware you own, and back up first.
