Homebutler: OpenClaw Skill for Homelab Management via Telegram
Homebutler is a Go binary that functions as an OpenClaw skill, allowing developers to manage homelab infrastructure directly from Telegram chat. The tool addresses the pain point of needing multiple SSH sessions for maintenance, particularly during off-hours.
Key Features
- System monitoring: CPU, memory, disk usage, and uptime tracking
- Docker management: List containers, restart, stop, and view logs
- Multi-server SSH with parallel execution capability
- Wake-on-LAN functionality
- Port scanner and network scanning
- Threshold-based alerts for resource spikes
- Web dashboard accessible via
homebutler serve - MCP server compatibility for Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor
Setup and Usage
Installation requires a single command: clawhub install homeserver. Once installed, the claw can execute commands through natural language in Telegram.
Example interaction from the source:
🚨 Alert: CPU at 92% on nas-box Me: "What's eating CPU?" Claw: postgres — 85.2% Me: "Restart postgres" Claw: ✅ Done. CPU 92% → 12%
The tool is designed for developers running homelabs with multiple devices (Mac Mini, Raspberry Pi, NAS) who want to reduce operational overhead.
