rbhr makes Mike a one-command install

The whole application now runs on your own machine, with no cloud accounts to set up first.

Until now, trying Mike meant creating a hosted database account and a cloud storage bucket before the app would even start. rbhr's new setup removes both prerequisites. Copy one settings file, add a single AI-provider key, run one command, and the app opens locally, packaged with Docker, the standard tool for bundling software into portable containers.

Everything now runs on your own hardware: the database, the login system, file storage, and the converter that turns Word documents into PDFs. The application itself is untouched; this is pure packaging. rbhr reports a full test run covering signup, an authenticated session, a Word upload converted to PDF, and data surviving a complete shutdown and restart. Live AI chat went untested since it needs a paid provider key. Worth noting: rbhr maintains the base project, so this is the owner rebuilding the front door.

So what Anyone who wants to evaluate Mike, or keep client documents on hardware they control, can now spin it up on a laptop in minutes.
