I've been building our home freedom server, Bitarr with Claude over the last week or so. Here's what Claude has to say about it:
🏴☠Introducing Bitarr: A Complete Self-Hosted Freedom Stack
Just finished building an epic home server setup that combines Bitcoin sovereignty with media freedom:
What's in Bitarr:
- ⚡ Full Bitcoin node + Lightning (LND) + LNBits for family banking
- 🎬 Jellyfin + full *arr automation stack (Radarr/Sonarr/Prowlarr)
- 🤖 Local AI with Ollama + Open WebUI (no cloud dependency)
- 📺 HDMI recovery system that auto-fixes display issues after power cuts
- 🔒 Everything behind Nginx Proxy Manager with proper SSL
- 📊 Comprehensive monitoring and testing for all services
Cool features:
- Smart plug integration for device control
- Network optimizations achieving 900+ Mbps on gigabit
- Modular Docker stacks that can run independently
- Automated backups and service recovery
- Family-friendly web interfaces for everything
All config is on GitHub ready to be made open.
Built with help from Claude - took a complex multi-stack setup and made it maintainable. Now my family can request movies through Jellyseerr and pay each other with Lightning, all running on our own hardware!
