Self-hosted AI and deploy pipeline

Most of what is on this page runs on hardware we own. Local models keep client data off third-party APIs when that matters; a sandbox lets models write and run code without reaching anything else; and every site deploys from a push to GitHub through a listener that checks, backs up and rolls back.

0 commits allowed on production servers: a hook refuses them

The brief

Own the stack, own the risk.

Cloud AI is convenient until a client asks where their data went. A self-hosted box answers that. It also had to be safe to let models loose on, and it had to make deploying boring.

The deploy guards exist because on one August night a fix committed on the server was silently destroyed by the next deploy, and a badly edited environment file took a charity's site down for eight minutes. Both are now impossible by construction.

Under the bonnet

Ubuntu, systemd, Docker, nginx, Cloudflare tunnels.

Ubuntu 24.04, systemd user timers, Docker with hardened containers, nginx and Cloudflare tunnels for exposure without open ports, a Python webhook service, Bash deploy scripts with a shared guard library, Umami analytics, and a documented credential store with per-machine read-only mirrors.

What it shows

  • Private AI for organisations that cannot send data to the cloud.
  • Deployment as a safety system, not a ritual.
  • Operational maturity that small studios rarely bother with.
Published Android app

LODORi

A meditation app that writes and voices a personalised session in about 25 seconds. React Native, FastAPI, subscriptions, ads, safety checks, and a public release on Google Play.

AI social media manager

Social Jen

Give it one idea, a product photo or a video and it drafts, schedules and publishes to nine social networks, writes graded Etsy listings and renders your 3D models. Nothing goes out until you approve it.

AI to 3D print pipeline

modelgen

Describe a part or drop in a picture and get a watertight, print-ready STL. Exact parametric CAD written by a language model, or organic meshes from AI, both validated before a slicer ever sees them.
