Without any explicit security audit intent, Gemma flagged hardcoded secrets (admin tokens, OAuth client secrets, encryption keys) in Vaultwarden and Keeper configs, a docker.sock mount in Dockge, a raw device mount in Scrutiny, and host networking concerns in AdGuard Home. The author built a Vite + Tailwind + FastAPI dashboard to batch-analyze all compose files in one session. Running everything locally meant sensitive credentials could be shared without privacy concerns. The key takeaway is that an LLM with no historical context of past decisions acts as a useful fresh-eyes reviewer for configurations that have silently accumulated risk over time. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
