# herbydev

## What it is

herbydev is Travis's primary development workstation — a Proxmox VM that serves as the main environment for all coding, homelab management, and AI-assisted work. It was promoted from `us-test-authy` (renamed and reconfigured). herbydev is where Claude Code runs, where skills live, and where Ansible playbooks are executed. It has Tailscale for remote VNC access.

## Current state

Active. Setup highlights:
- **Shell** — Fish + Starship prompt (via cli-standardization project)
- **Dotfiles** — Chezmoi for dotfile management, applied via Ansible
- **Editor** — planned upgrade to Zed + Neovim/LazyVim + Zellij (editor-stack-upgrade project)
- **Claude Code** — installed; skills at `~/.claude/skills/`; MCP server configured
- **Tailscale** — installed; VNC accessible remotely
- **Ansible** — Ansible playbook governs full herbydev setup
- **GitHub Actions** — ustest1 (separate Proxmox VM) hosts the self-hosted runner, but herbydev is the dev origin

## Where it lives

- Proxmox VM in homelab
- Accessible via Tailscale VPN (VNC)
- Domain: `herbydev.herbylab.dev` (split-horizon DNS)
