A login fix that keeps two-factor security for the people who turned it on, and stops slamming the door on those who never finished setting it up.

A self-hostable take on Mike from sherpadvisorylab, wiring up container deployment and tightening sign-in security.
This fork, run by sherpadvisorylab, is shaping Mike into something a firm can stand up on its own hardware rather than only consume as a hosted product. The headline work is a complete container-based deployment story aimed at self-hosting on Coolify - including the document-conversion plumbing a legal tool actually needs to handle real files.
The other thread is authentication. sherpadvisorylab reworked how multi-factor step-up gets enforced so the heavier verification only kicks in for accounts that genuinely have a verified second factor - smoother sign-in for everyone else, without loosening the bar for people who've opted into MFA.
Taken together, this reads less like a feature reskin and more like an operator getting Mike ready to run in their own environment. If you're weighing whether you could deploy and harden this yourself, it's worth a click through to GitHub.
What's in it
- Self-hosted container deployment A full container stack for standing Mike up on Coolify, so you can run it on your own infrastructure rather than relying on a hosted instance.
- Document-conversion ready The deployment includes the document-conversion tooling a legal app needs to handle real-world files out of the box.
- Smarter MFA enforcement Multi-factor step-up checks now only run for accounts that actually have a verified factor - keeping sign-in fast without weakening protection for enrolled users.
