self hosted ai starter kit
Basic Information
This repository is an open-source Docker Compose template designed to quickly create a local, self-hosted AI and low-code development environment. It bundles the n8n workflow automation platform with complementary components such as Ollama for local LLM hosting, Qdrant as a vector database, and PostgreSQL for persistent storage. The starter kit provides preconfigured network and storage settings, example workflows and AI nodes, and profiles for different hardware setups including Nvidia and AMD GPUs, CPU-only, and Mac/Apple Silicon guidance. The project is aimed at developers and teams who want to prototype AI workflows and agents locally, run models and vector search without sending sensitive data to third-party cloud services, and experiment with n8n’s hundreds of integrations and advanced AI nodes. The README includes installation, upgrade steps, tips for accessing shared files from the n8n container, recommended learning resources, and community support information.
