Self-hosted AI Starter Kit

Self-hosted AI Starter Kit is an open-source Docker Compose template that initializes a local AI and low-code development environment. It is curated by n8n, combining the self-hosted n8n workflow platform with a set of compatible AI components.

It bundles self-hosted n8n, a low-code platform with more than 400 integrations and AI components, for building workflows visually; Ollama for installing and running local large language models across platforms; Qdrant, an open-source vector store; and PostgreSQL for data storage. Example workflows built from these pieces include a scheduling agent, private document summarization, a Slack bot for internal communications, and financial document analysis.

It supports Nvidia GPU, AMD GPU on Linux, and CPU-only setups through separate Docker Compose profiles. It is released under the Apache 2.0 license.

    droprun.sh

    A rootless Linux sandbox for developers, built on user namespaces with optional gVisor isolation, that confines coding agents and third-party packages without leaving your normal work environment.

  • minienv

    github.com

    Reads an existing docker compose file and deploys it as a remote preview environment with little setup, with optional public endpoints and authentication so others can review in-flight work.

  • Rig

    npmjs.com

    Gives each coding agent, such as Claude Code, Cursor or Codex, its own cloud Linux desktop with a running dev server, tests and a signed-in Chrome, so the developer's laptop stays free while several agents work at once.
