JakeyHwang turns Mike into an AdminLess managed distribution

This fork trades upstream flexibility for a more opinionated, lower-administration way to run legal AI.

infrastructureworkflow

JakeyHwang has set a default AI model, routed it through an Ollama gateway - a self-hosted service that presents a familiar AI-provider interface - and switched Google sign-in off by default. The aim is a hosted or self-hosted bundle that arrives with more of the operational choices already made.

Ready-made container images for different server types, making deployment more repeatable.
Separate setups for pulling a release versus building from source.
An in-product update screen and notice that can request a companion service to install releases.

There is an important boundary: the deployment tooling behind that update path is proprietary and excluded from the public fork. The public pieces can be inspected on GitHub, but the full installer workflow cannot be reproduced without that separate component.

This matters to legal teams and product founders who value a managed operating model, but should scrutinise the update service and release-channel trust before adopting it.

So what Worth a GitHub look for anyone choosing between a configurable legal-AI platform and a more tightly operated distribution.
