manueljpconde/mikeEU

EU-focused Mike fork targeting sovereign deployment with Docker self-hosting, local LLM support, managed model endpoints, and five-language UI

Active development across infrastructure, security, and localization. Major additions: Docker Compose self-hosting stack (with subsequent hardening including a `SUPABASE_SECRET_KEY` frontend-leak fix and image pinning), per-admin managed model endpoints with encrypted key storage, a server-configured local LLM provider, a full five-locale i18n system with catalog validation tooling, and a security patch closing cross-tenant document reads on tabular review endpoints.

manueljpconde/mikeEU is a fork of the willchen96/mike legal-AI codebase shaped for EU deployment scenarios where data sovereignty and self-hosting matter. The main lines of work are: a full Docker Compose stack that boots the entire application locally without external Supabase or R2 accounts; a local:server provider that routes inference to any OpenAI-compatible endpoint (Ollama, LM Studio, vLLM) with credentials kept server-side; a managedModels subsystem that lets admins configure per-user Azure Foundry or local model endpoints with AES-256-GCM-encrypted keys; a five-locale UI (en, pt, es, fr, de) built on a custom library-free i18n runtime; and a confirmed cross-tenant document access fix on the tabular review routes.

The openaiCompatible adapter, managed models schema, and encryption helpers are the most portable pieces - worth evaluating independently of the Docker and i18n work. The cross-tenant access fix applies to anyone running tabular review features. The Docker stack is opinionated: it bundles a local Supabase cluster rather than pointing at hosted, so it only makes sense if you want the full self-host story.

i18n second pass covers assistant chrome, projects, tabular reviews, and workflows

After the initial i18n rollout left high-traffic lawyer-facing screens partly in English, manueljpconde pushed a second pass that expands translation coverage across account settings, the chat assistant surface, tabular reviews, project modals, and workflow lists - all five supported locales updated.

Docker Compose stack and admin-managed model endpoints land together

manueljpconde shipped a self-contained local deployment stack alongside a new `managedModels` subsystem that lets admins configure OpenAI-compatible model endpoints stored in the database with AES-256-GCM-encrypted API keys. These two changes arrived in the same PR and a three-day hardening follow-up.

Docker quickstart hardened: secret leak fixed, JWTs refreshed, images pinned

manueljpconde tightened four loose ends in the Docker setup that had shipped with the initial compose stack: a server-only credential was leaking into the Next.js build context, development JWTs were due to expire in 2027, image tags were floating on `latest`, and the Linux Docker networking story was undocumented.

Five-locale UI ships with custom i18n runtime and profile-persisted locale

manueljpconde built end-to-end localization for en, pt, es, fr, and de from scratch - no third-party library, just a thin layer over native `Intl`. Locale is stored on the user profile, validated at every layer, and resolved server-side on the initial request.

Self-contained Docker stack and per-user managed model endpoints

manueljpconde landed the two biggest infrastructure changes in the mikeEU fork at once: a Docker Compose setup that boots the entire stack locally without hosted Supabase or R2, and a redesigned model settings flow that lets each admin configure their own Azure Foundry or local OpenAI-compatible endpoint with a per-record encrypted key.

Self-hosted local LLM provider added as a fourth inference path

manueljpconde added a `local:server` provider to mikeEU that routes inference to any OpenAI-compatible `/v1/chat/completions` endpoint - Ollama, LM Studio, vLLM, and similar runtimes. Configuration is entirely server-side; the browser only sees a selectable model name.

Local LLM provider added via server-configured OpenAI-compatible endpoint

manueljpconde wired a fourth inference path into mikeEU: a backend-only `local:server` provider that routes to any OpenAI-compatible `/v1/chat/completions` endpoint. Ollama, LM Studio, and similar runtimes work out of the box. The browser never sees the URL or credentials.

Cross-tenant document read closed on tabular review routes

manueljpconde patched a confirmed authorization gap in the tabular review feature: authenticated users could submit another user's document IDs and the backend would read and forward that content to the LLM. A new helper now validates document ownership on every affected call site before anything is read.
