I Gave My Dead Raspberry Pi to an AI Agent. It Fixed Everything Over SSH.
An AI agent successfully diagnosed and fixed issues with a headless Raspberry Pi 4 that had become unresponsive after an OS upgrade. The agent utilized a Jetson Nano and Tailscale connection to access the Raspberry Pi's microSD card and investigate the root cause of the failure. Several fixes were applied, including adjustments to network interface naming and Docker settings, ultimately restoring functionality to the device.
- ▪The Raspberry Pi 4 was handling critical home infrastructure but became unresponsive after an OS upgrade.
- ▪An AI agent connected via Tailscale to a Jetson Nano was used to diagnose and fix the issues.
- ▪The agent identified multiple problems, including network interface naming changes and Docker configuration conflicts.

One AI agent, one Jetson Nano, and a Tailscale connection. The Situation I run a headless Raspberry Pi 4 called homepi that handles critical home infrastructure: NextDNS, PiVPN/WireGuard, Tailscale, Docker, and Pi-hole. It sits in a closet with no monitor attached.
