Home labs are for learning and building — not for maintaining networking infrastructure. Install the awaBerry agent and your Raspberry Pi, NAS, or home server becomes reachable via an authenticated HTTP call from anywhere, with no DDNS, no port forwarding, no VPN.
Running a home lab has always involved disproportionate networking complexity just to access your own hardware from outside your home. Dynamic DNS needs to be configured and kept current. Port forwarding rules need to be opened — each one a potential attack surface. Self-signed certificates generate browser warnings. Tools like Tailscale solve the VPN problem but add another layer of software and configuration. The result: simple things like managing your NAS from a coffee shop become a small project in themselves.
Port forwarding rules, DDNS configuration, and self-signed certificate management — each one adds maintenance burden and security exposure to your home network.
Sharing access to your home server with a family member or collaborator means creating SSH users and distributing keys — none of which is easy to clean up afterward.
The Agentic API eliminates the entire networking problem. Install the awaBerry agent on your Raspberry Pi, NAS, or home server and the device becomes reachable via an authenticated HTTP call — no DDNS, no port forwarding, no VPN, no self-signed certificates. The connection is tunneled through awaBerry's infrastructure automatically. From anywhere, you have a clean API endpoint for your home hardware.
Install the awaBerry agent on your device. Create an Agentic API project, assign the device, define your folder scope and command allowlist. No router configuration required.
From any browser, script, or mobile app: POST to the Agentic API with your Project Key and Secret. The connection tunnels through awaBerry to your home device automatically — no public IP needed.
Create a project per person for temporary shared access. Delete the project when done — no user account to clean up, no SSH key to revoke. Access is gone the moment you delete.
Trigger backup jobs, check disk health with smartctl, and restart services via API calls — no exposed NAS web UI, no open SSH port, no self-signed cert warning.
A mobile app sends a command to execute a Python GPIO script on the Pi. The Pi executes and returns the result. No public IP, no DDNS, no port 22 exposed.
An always-on Pi runs the awaBerry agent. From anywhere, call the API to trigger a WoL magic packet to wake your main workstation — no public-facing infrastructure required.
A Cloudflare Worker cron calls the API nightly to prune Docker images, renew Let's Encrypt certs, run updates, and sync backups to cloud storage — fully automated.
| Challenge | Traditional Home Lab | With awaBerry Agentic API |
|---|---|---|
| Remote access | Port forwarding + DDNS | Zero — tunneled automatically |
| SSH from outside | Open port 22 or VPN | API call — no open ports |
| Temporary shared access | Create/delete SSH user | Create/delete project |
| Mobile control | Custom app + networking layer | Call REST API from any app |
| Scheduled jobs | Cron on-device | External Cloudflare Worker → API call |
Push datasets, trigger training runs, and pull results from your GPU machines — scoped to exactly the folders and scripts you need, without exposed ports or cloud egress fees.
Your GPU workstations and servers sit idle most of the time. The Agentic API turns them into callable compute nodes — accessible via a standard HTTPS POST, no open ports, no SSH keys required.
awaBerry Anywhere is a zero-trust remote access platform that gets any device — cloud server, laptop, or SoC hardware — securely accessible from anywhere in minutes. No VPNs, no open inbound ports, no complex configuration or additional remote connection software. Works on any MAC - yes even an old Apple macbook from 2012. Works on any Ubuntu / Debian / Redhad based LINUX. Works on any Windows which supports the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).
Flexible onboarding for any hardware — in any environment.
Full control and activation via the awaBerry web dashboard.
awaBerry Automation is the combination of two tightly integrated products that together form a complete, AI-native automation platform.
Uses the Google Gemini CLI to translate plain-English instructions into executable scripts — run on your local devices on a schedule. AI tokens are spent exactly once to generate the logic; every subsequent execution costs nothing.
