Reefy turns any PC, mini PC, laptop, or GPU box into a private AI server. Unlike a traditional Linux install, there’s no setup: flash a USB drive, boot, and adopt it in your dashboard. Built with Buildroot for fast boot, NVIDIA GPU support, safe A/B upgrades, encrypted backups, remote access, and AI apps like OpenClaw, Hermes, Ollama, vLLM, SGLang, and more.
I built Reefy because I had 8 machines sitting at home collecting dust: Intel NUCs, mini PCs, a Surface laptop, and two NVIDIA GPU boxes I built with my kids.
The hardware was fine. The setup was the problem.
Installing Linux, Docker, NVIDIA drivers, networking, remote access, backups, and updates turns a simple weekend project into a pile of half-working machines.
So I built Reefy.
Reefy turns spare PCs, mini PCs, laptops, and GPU boxes into private AI machines.
Flash the Reefy image to a USB drive, boot the machine, and it appears in your dashboard at reefy.ai. Click “Adopt,” and now you can start OpenClaw, Hermes, Ollama, Frigate, vLLM, SGLang, and other local AI workloads in one click.
You can run multiple isolated agents too: one for personal use, one for business, one for family, or one per experiment.
Reefy also includes:
• NVIDIA GPU autodetection and drivers out of the box • Encrypted app backups • A/B OS upgrades with rollback if the new image fails • Remote access from anywhere • Estimated cloud cost saved based on your hardware and uptime
The goal is simple:
Make private local AI infrastructure as easy as flashing a USB drive.
I can’t wait to see what machines you bring back to life and what AI workloads you run on your own hardware. Tell me in the comments.
