thijsdezoete pulls the whole stack in-house, no accounts required
One command spins up a fully self-hosted, offline-capable version of Mike with every cloud dependency swapped for a local container.
thijsdezoete's fork is built around a single idea: run the entire legal-AI tool on your own hardware, with nothing phoning home and no external sign-ups. Start it up and you get the whole thing running locally, including:
- Local database and login - the app carries its own database and user-accounts service, so there's no cloud account to create.
- Local file storage - the hosted cloud storage layer is replaced by one that runs on your own machine.
- Local email catcher - sign-up and confirmation emails land in a local inbox instead of being sent out.
- Local AI models - run open models on your own machine with no API key; they appear as "Local" in every model picker, and the app automatically lists whichever ones you've installed, with a refresh button to pick up new ones.
The local-models piece is the cleanest and stands on its own, even if you never self-host the rest.
