Self-Hosted AI Starter Kit

The Self-Hosted AI Starter Kit is an open-source framework designed to help developers and teams quickly provision a local AI development environment that emphasizes control, privacy, and flexibility rather than dependence on external cloud APIs. At its core, the starter kit uses Docker Compose to orchestrate essential components like an AI workflow engine, vector database, local LLM server, and persistent storage, making it suitable for prototyping AI-driven applications without exposing sensitive data to third-party providers. It’s targeted at both technical and semi-technical users, allowing you to build custom AI workflows, chat experiences, or intelligent automation systems by integrating modular services that communicate via APIs; the setup is intended to be both repeatable and scalable for varied use cases.
