Use Cases

Real-world walkthroughs showing how people use Commandeck day to day. Pick the one closest to you:

  • Linux Beginner Guide — new to Commandeck (or to Linux)? Start here. Works fully on the free tier, no SSH needed.
  • Jellyfin Media Server — why it buffers, what fills the disk, the log to read, restart and update — on Docker or a system install. (Pro)
  • Batocera Retro Gaming Box — why a game won't start, a frozen emulator, a black screen and a full disk — answered from your desk, no keyboard on the box. (Pro)
  • Home Server Management — one-click maintenance for a Plex / Pi-hole / NAS box over SSH. (Pro)
  • Manage a Homelab Fleet — drive several machines from one grid with multi-machine buttons and saved "Run as". (Pro)
  • Drive Commandeck from a Local AI — let a local or cloud AI build and run your buttons via MCP. (Pro)
  • Development Workflow — a developer's command palette: build, test, deploy and check logs, locally and on a remote VPS. (remote parts are Pro)

Note

Guides marked (Pro) rely on SSH machines, multi-machine buttons, saved "Run as", or AI/MCP — all Commandeck Pro features. The free tier covers local use (start with the Beginner Guide).
