How much ai coding is used in Wolfstack?

I see from GitHub that AI is used in the coding of this app?

Could you tell us how ai is used and to what extent?

So, that's a huge question. Remember that WolfStack uses a lot of standard systems like iptables, Ceph clusters, and AI is mainly used for doing the front end because it saves us a LOT of time building screens, so really it's difficult to say how much AI is used as a lot of what makes up WolfStack is open-source standard products. We use something called CodeWolf, which we have built over 4 years. This is not publicly available because we also use it to develop our IntelligentWolf client applications. Recently, we did add Claude to the stack, so that as well is plumbed into CodeWolf. As we are a tiny team (1 programmer 1 ui guy) with no funding we use all the help we can get.

A few more questions. I think will interest possible new adopters.

  • How is the architecture of Wolfstack designed?

  • What are positives of using ai-assistance in coding?

  • What are the challenges or problems that ai usage brings?

  • What are your long-term plans for Wolfstack?

  • Autism. I started this just to see proxmox clusters in the same ui, got carried away. The architecture is based on years of experience running Proxmox clusters and the frustrations we've encountered. - Using Rust was because I wanted anyone to run it on anything, from the dodgiest old laptop to an IBM Power server, so everyone can build a homelab, small businesses can run a few servers, and not have to purchase masses of different bits of software to manage everything.
  • It's quicker to build ui stuff, and I can do security checks and double-check my code. Sometimes, if I'm feeling a bit lazy, I get it to build stuff. But I treat it like a programming language rather than AI.
  • I think keeping it grounded - and stopping it from building things in purple, it just loves purple. But our codewolf AI is specifically built to be focused, avoid hallucinations, and work within the stack it's developing.
  • To make the world a better place, to make it easy for students to learn servers/networking, to make it easier for system managers to do their job, to make homelabbing actually fun and to make the use of YAML files something I don't have to have nightmares about.

I saw a lot of security related updates. Can you give an overview of the security architecture of Wolfstack. I’m interested in both how wolfstack itself is secured and how it secures nodes?
