Homelab
from iPhone
Home servers, Raspberry Pis, NAS boxes, and self-hosted apps all need occasional attention. With Macky, you can check on them from your iPhone without setting up port forwarding or exposing anything to the internet.
The Problem
Things Break When You're Not Home
Your Plex server goes down. A Docker container crashes. Disk space fills up. These things happen when you're away. Accessing your home server remotely usually means setting up dynamic DNS, port forwarding, and managing SSH keys on your phone.
The Solution
Your Mac as the Gateway
Macky connects your iPhone to your Mac over encrypted WebRTC. Your Mac is already on your home network and already has SSH keys for your other machines. Use it as a jump host to reach any device on your network.
What You Can Do
01
Check Disk Space and Memory
SSH into your home server from your Mac and run df -h or free -m to see resource usage at a glance.02
Restart Crashed Services
Bring a crashed service back up with systemctl restart or docker restart without needing to be home.03
Tail Logs in Real Time
Run tail -f on any log file to see what's happening with your apps as it happens.04
Manage Docker Containers
Check container status with docker ps, view logs, stop and start containers, or pull updates.05
Reach Any Device on Your Network
Your Mac knows your home network. SSH from it to any server, NAS, or Raspberry Pi on the same network.Getting Started
