RigDeck

RigDeck is a GTK desktop app that drives a second, always-on Linux machine — a 'rig' — from your laptop over SSH: live vitals, a project launcher, on-demand GPU services, remote desktop (VNC / Moonlight), and a local-LLM chat and voice assistant. Nothing runs eagerly — the only always-on cost is a lightweight status poll; every heavy feature wakes on open and frees VRAM on close.

Its 'brain' embeds every repo on the rig with a local model and answers semantic code queries — file, line, snippet — indexing on the rig, querying from the laptop.

I built it for myself, then made it public: every machine-specific detail moved out of the code into a per-user config, the whole UI was translated to English, and a first-run wizard auto-detects your rig over SSH (user, home, MAC). It ships MIT-licensed with a one-command installer plus .deb and Arch packages. Clone or download it below.
