A self-contained local mode plus a password gate for sharing the demo over the internet.
pwliwanow/mike
A self-hostable Mike that runs entirely on your own machine, with an easy switch to share it publicly via a Cloudflare Tunnel.
This fork, maintained by pwliwanow, is focused on making Mike practical to run outside the cloud. The goal is a version of the product you can spin up on a single machine end-to-end, without depending on hosted services to get started.
There's also a "shareable demo" angle: once it's running locally, the fork makes it straightforward to put the stack behind a Cloudflare Tunnel so others can reach it without a traditional deployment. For anyone curious about Mike but reluctant to wire up cloud accounts before trying it, this is the version to look at.
It's early - only a couple of commits in - but the direction is coherent: lower the barrier to actually running Mike, then make it easy to share what you've built.
What's in it
- Fully local stack Run Mike end-to-end on your own machine with no cloud dependencies required to get going.
- Bundled local backend Ships its own self-contained backend services so you don't have to provision anything externally before trying it.
- Offline-friendly LLM mode Includes a stand-in model option so you can exercise the full app without signing up for a hosted LLM provider.
- One-command public sharing A demo mode puts your local instance behind a Cloudflare Tunnel, so you can share it with someone without standing up real infrastructure.
- Tunnel-aware authentication Auth is wired up to work correctly when the app is exposed through a tunnel, not just on localhost.
