Effortlessly run LLM backends, APIs, frontends, and services with one command.

Harbor is a containerized LLM toolkit that allows you to run LLMs and additional services. It consists of a CLI and a companion App that allows you to manage and run AI services with ease.

In the demo, Harbor App is used to launch a default stack with Ollama and Open WebUI services. Later, SearXNG is also started, and WebUI can connect to it for the Web RAG right out of the box. After that, Harbor Boost is also started and connected to the WebUI automatically to induce more creative outputs. As a final step, Harbor config is adjusted in the App for the klmbr module in the Harbor Boost, which makes the output unparseable for the LLM (yet still undetstandable for humans).

If you're comfortable with Docker and Linux administration - you likely don't need Harbor per se to manage your local LLM environment. However, you're also likely to eventually arrive to a similar solution. I know this for a fact, since I was rocking pretty much similar setup, just without all the whistles and bells.

Harbor is not designed as a deployment solution, but rather as a helper for the local LLM development environment. It's a good starting point for experimenting with LLMs and related services.

You can later eject from Harbor and use the services in your own setup, or continue using Harbor as a base for your own configuration.

This project consists of a fairly large shell CLI, fairly small .env file and enourmous (for one repo) amount of docker-compose files.

• Manage local LLM stack with a concise CLI
• Convenience utilities for common tasks (model management, configuration, service debug, URLs, tunnels, etc.)
• Access service CLIs (hf, ollama, etc.) via Docker without install
• Services are pre-configured to work together (contributions welcome)
• Host cache is shared and reused - Hugging Face, ollama, etc.
• Co-located service configs
• Built-in LLM benchmarking service
• Manage configuration profiles for different use cases
• Eject to run without harbor with harbor eject
