Stackarr app

The Stackarr app is the optional visual control room for the same homelab capabilities available to connected chat agents. Use chat as your primary interface, use the app manually, or move between them: both share the same native operations, safety rules, and Activity trail.

Product areas

• Home shows what needs attention, active work, recent actions, favorite apps, storage, and native performance history. Plex installs use Plex's own CPU and memory samples; other containers retain Docker live metrics in Infrastructure.
• Apps opens enabled services and runs focused native operations such as scans, metadata work, syncs, and queue controls.
• Activity combines download work, command history, agent and routine actions, and a bounded redacted server-log viewer.
• Infrastructure shows the stack as containers, storage, images, volumes, and networks. Live metrics use Docker's one-shot Engine API instead of the slower CLI sampling path, build short local trend graphs from the normal refresh cadence, and pause in hidden browser tabs.
• Automation & Access contains routines, chat connections, authority profiles, agent history, and Cloudflare tunnel controls.
• Settings starts with everyday choices and progressively reveals service connections and advanced configuration.

The layout works as a desktop sidebar and a mobile navigation surface. Keyboard focus, reduced motion, minimum touch targets, and skip navigation are built in.

Safety in the app

Read operations run directly. Reversible management actions show their scope. File-changing or destructive native app actions require a reason and the app name before they run. Container and tunnel operations retain their existing confirmations. Starting an operation is recorded in Activity, and a queued action is never presented as completed work.
