About Software

Harbor is a containerized LLM toolkit designed to simplify the deployment and management of local AI stacks. It serves as a CLI wrapper around Docker Compose, allowing users to effortlessly spin up a wide array of AI services—from inference backends like Ollama and vLLM to sophisticated frontends like Open WebUI and ComfyUI. Harbor handles the complex networking and configuration required to connect these services, providing an "out-of-the-box" experience for running local AI agents.

Harbor goes beyond simple deployment by offering advanced features like "Harbor Boost" for scripting LLM workflows, built-in tunneling for remote access, and support for the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It enables users to create powerful, self-hosted AI environments that include RAG capabilities, image generation, and voice interaction, all managed through a unified command-line interface. It is the ideal tool for developers and power users wanting to explore the local AI landscape without the configuration headache.

Use Cases:

  • Running local LLM backends (Ollama, llama.cpp, vLLM) with a single command
  • Deploying AI frontends like Open WebUI, LibreChat, and ComfyUI locally
  • Integrating RAG workflows with SearXNG and local deep research tools
  • Setting up voice chat with LLMs using Speaches (TTS/STT)
  • Exposing local AI services to the internet via built-in secure tunnels

What can Harbor do?

!Diagram outlining Harbor's service structure (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/av/harbor/harbor-arch-diag.png)

✦ Local LLMs

Run LLMs and related services locally, with no or minimal configuration, typically in a single command or click.

# All backends are pre-connected to Open WebUI
harbor up ollama
harbor up llamacpp
harbor up vllm

# Set and remember args for llama.cpp
harbor llamacpp args -ngl 32

Cutting Edge Inference

Harbor supports most of the major inference engines as well as a few of the lesser-known ones.

# We sincerely hope you'll never try to run all of them at once
harbor up vllm llamacpp tgi litellm tabbyapi aphrodite sglang ktransformers mistralrs airllm

Tool Use

Enjoy the benefits of MCP ecosystem, extend it to your use-cases.

# Manage MCPs with a convenient Web UI
harbor up metamcp

# Connect MCPs to Open WebUI
harbor up metamcp mcpo

Generate Images

Harbor includes ComfyUI + Flux + Open WebUI integration.

# Use FLUX in Open WebUI in one command
harbor up comfyui

Local Web RAG / Deep Research

Harbor includes SearXNG that is pre-connected to a lot of services out of the box: Perplexica, ChatUI, Morphic, Local Deep Research and more.

# SearXNG is pre-connected to Open WebUI
harbor up searxng

# And to many other services
harbor up searxng chatui
harbor up searxng morphic
