thijsdezoete/mike

A fork that turns Mike into a fully self-hosted app you stand up with one command, no external accounts.

Early and narrowly focused - a single self-hosting push landed in late June 2026, one commit ahead of upstream, with no other threads in flight yet.

This fork, from @thijsdezoete, is chasing one clear goal: make Mike run entirely on your own machine. The pitch is a single command that brings the whole application up - database, authentication, storage, and email all bundled in - without signing up for any external service.

The part that will interest legal readers most is that it runs AI models locally too, so a working install doesn't depend on a cloud provider or hand data to one. It's positioned as a more automated, batteries-included alternative to the project's existing command-line setup.

There's no rebrand or niche pitch here yet - it's a deployment story, not a product repositioning. If self-hosting and keeping everything in-house matters to you, this is the fork to click through and read.
