a-tabaza makes Mike easier to self-host

A new local Docker setup lets teams evaluate Mike with its core services running on their own machine.

a-tabaza has packaged Mike into a single local stack, bringing together the application, database, sign-in layer, document storage and document conversion tooling. The practical effect is a lower-friction way to test the product without first creating accounts across several hosted services.

The setup also prepares the starting database and a document-storage area automatically, while allowing browser download links to point at the public address users can actually reach. That makes a local evaluation closer to a working product environment, not just a developer demo.

It is clearly aimed at local testing for now: the supplied configuration includes fixed development credentials and needs a proper security, permissions and upgrade review before production use.

So what Legal-tech teams assessing self-hosted AI tooling should care because this makes a hands-on Mike evaluation materially easier, while keeping the production-readiness question visible.
