A low-cost map app build struggles with agents and setup

A 2015 MacBook has been turned into a Proxmox server to host a map app from a desk. The first setup used a for the app, with Claude Code placed inside it so code could be built directly on the server.

The project reached a point where data was partly showing on a web page, but a Claude update later stopped the tool from running on that server. The then became too complex to keep using.

Prompts were typed directly into the coding tool instead of being kept in a file, which made the work hard to track and restart. There is now a file, but the next gap is knowing how to start and run agents in a simple way while also working a full-time job.

Key points

  • A 2015 MacBook is being used as a Proxmox server for a map app.
  • The app ran inside a with Claude Code working directly in that environment.
  • A Claude update broke the server and made the setup harder to use.
  • Prompts were not saved in a file at first, so the project history was hard to manage.
  • A better should start with clear , small tasks, and saved instructions.
