The fork collapses Mike's two halves into a single deployable image, with one knob to switch between same-origin and split-origin setups.
Altien/mikeOssAzure
Altien is rebuilding Mike as a tenant-portable Azure deployment, with the option to run it entirely on your own laptop.
This fork takes Mike - originally a Supabase-shaped app - and reshapes it into something you can deploy on Azure, run locally against open-source pieces, or hand to another tenant without rebuilding the image. Altien has been steadily working through the layers a serious deployment story needs: pluggable authentication (Supabase, Microsoft Entra, or local sign-in), pluggable storage (Azure Blob alongside the existing object store), Azure Key Vault for secrets, and a database migration path that no longer assumes you're on Supabase.
Alongside the infrastructure work, the LLM side has grown to include OpenAI and Azure OpenAI as first-class providers next to the existing Claude and Gemini support, with a fallback chain for fast-model routing. There's also an in-app installer and diagnostics surface, suggesting Altien wants this to be configurable by an administrator rather than a developer.
The public-facing pieces - README, runbooks, design notes, security and contributing docs - landed recently, which reads like a fork preparing to be used by people other than its author. If you want to read Mike as an Azure-native, multi-tenant product rather than a hosted SaaS, this is the version to look at.
What's in it
- Azure-first deployment story Reworked to run on Azure with Entra sign-in, Key Vault for secrets, and Blob storage - without losing the option to point at other backends.
- Pluggable auth, storage, and LLM providers Auth, file storage, and model providers all sit behind interfaces, so you pick what fits the tenant rather than inheriting one vendor's stack.
- Run-it-on-your-laptop dev stack A local development setup with Postgres, PostgREST, and a blob emulator - no hosted dependency required to try the fork.
- OpenAI and Azure OpenAI support Both providers are wired in alongside Claude and Gemini, with a fallback chain so a slow or failing model degrades gracefully.
- In-app installer and diagnostics An admin-facing configuration UI declares the secrets and settings the app expects, with readiness checks rather than a hand-edited env file.
- Single image, many tenants The same built image ships to different deployments and reads its tenant config at runtime, so you're not rebuilding per customer.
- Provider-neutral database migrations Schema migrations run against any modern Postgres, replacing the original Supabase-only setup script.

One image, three sign-in modes, no rebuilds per customer.
The fork's backend has been re-plumbed so a single deployable build can serve different firms without a rebuild.
A new in-app installer turns first-run configuration into something an admin can click through instead of a developer scripting from the command line.

One client, three deployment modes - so the same fork can run on hosted Supabase, a self-hosted database, or an enterprise network with Microsoft Entra ID.

A small query fix in Altien's fork stops shared-project lookups from silently failing - and from taking the rest of the page down with them.
📝 Altien plugs OpenAI and Azure into Mike's model lineup 1 commit 19d ago infrastructureintegration draft
The fork now treats OpenAI and Microsoft's Azure OpenAI as first-class engines alongside Claude and Gemini, with a fallback chain so the lights stay on when one provider stumbles.
A bigger, safer set of controls for who can change what on a user account - and what happens when an account closes.
The fork rewires authentication so Mike can sit behind whichever identity system a firm already runs.
The fork can now stand up on any modern Postgres, not just the hosted database Mike was originally wired to.
The fork swaps a single-vendor file store for a pluggable one - and ships the Azure version alongside it.
