Furious-Industries packages Mike for the server in your closet
A one-command self-hosted stack turns Mike from a cloud-dependent app into something you can run on a Linux box in the office.
Most Mike forks tinker with the app. Furious-Industries went the other direction and shipped the plumbing: a nine-service bundle that stands up the database, authentication, file storage, document conversion, and both halves of Mike on a single machine, with one configuration file and one host-specific setting. No Supabase account, no Cloudflare, no third-party cloud dependencies - the whole thing runs on-prem.
The signal here isn't a feature. It's a posture. Upstream Mike assumes you're comfortable wiring it into hosted services; this fork assumes you'd rather not. A couple of small fixes ride along too, including one that makes file download links actually work when you're not on Cloudflare's storage - a real papercut for anyone trying to deploy Mike anywhere else. A few rough edges remain around demo credentials that need rotating before you'd ever expose this to the internet, but the direction is unmistakable: legal AI you can keep behind your own firewall.
