taxibox/mike
taxibox is quietly wiring Mike up for internal company use - Microsoft sign-in and a staging box of its own.
This is taxibox's working copy of Mike, and the shape of the changes tells you who it's for: people inside an organisation rather than the open internet. The headline move is letting you sign in with a Microsoft account, sitting right next to the usual email-and-password option - the kind of thing you add when your users already live in Microsoft 365 and you'd rather they didn't manage yet another password.
The other half of the work is plumbing. taxibox has stood up its own staging environment and an automated path to get new code onto it, serving the app from a dedicated corner of a .com.au domain. That's a team setting Mike up to run on infrastructure they control, on an Australian host, with a deploy story they can repeat.
There's no rebrand or new product niche on display yet - this reads as a company adopting Mike for its own people and getting the deployment and login basics solid first. If you want the specifics, the GitHub repo is the place to look.
What's in it
- Sign in with Microsoft Microsoft/Azure account login alongside the existing email-and-password option - handy if your people already use Microsoft 365.
- Self-hosted staging environment taxibox runs its own staging instance on an Australian host, served from a dedicated path on their domain.
- Automated deployments Pushing changes flows straight out to the staging box through an automated pipeline, so updates land without manual steps.
