Local AI Hub

A premium desktop control panel for the AI services running locally on your machine — Ollama, Open WebUI, and ComfyUI. Start/stop each service, watch live status, and manage models — all from one place.

 

Everything stays local. No accounts, no telemetry, no analytics, nothing phones home. The only outbound actions are the "browse models" links and model updates — and updates only contact that model's own host, only when you click.

⚙️ Tested on

This is built and proven on one specific configuration:

• Distro: Bazzite (Fedora Atomic base, KDE)
• Hardware: AMD Ryzen AI MAX+ 395 "Strix Halo", Radeon 8060S iGPU (gfx1151)
• Services: Ollama · Open WebUI · ComfyUI

Other distros, GPUs, or AI tools aren't supported yet — not a promise they won't be, just an honest label. The app's built-in Setup Check detects whether your machine matches and skips the checks plainly if it doesn't.

→ docs/GETTING_STARTED.md — a from-scratch setup for the same Bazzite + Strix Halo hardware, with two tracks: one for people using an AI assistant, and a full manual walkthrough (every command verified against a working machine).

✨ Features

• One toggle per service — start/stop Ollama, Open WebUI, ComfyUI (systemd --user), live status.
• Open in browser — one click to each running web UI, always via 127.0.0.1 (never localhost).
• Ollama model manager — installed models with size, an in-memory vs on-disk badge, and a real ollama pull Update.
• ComfyUI model manager — lists what's in your model folders by type; install new models from a Hugging Face / Civitai / direct link (download → verify → filed in the right folder); per-model Update once a source is set.
• Setup Check — one panel that verifies the iGPU flags, the Open WebUI Quadlet, the gfx1151 ROCm build, and the GGUF node — with safe one-click fixes.
• Crash-aware — a service that dies shows "Stopped unexpectedly" with a View log button, not a silent gray.
• Live rescan — auto + manual, so hand-added models appear without a restart.
• Light & dark — polished, and your choice persists.

🖥️ Run it

python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
python app.py

Add it to your app launcher (icon + pinnable, no terminal):

bash scripts/install-desktop.sh

This renders the app icon into ~/.local/share/icons and installs a .desktop entry that runs the app through the venv — double-clicking just works.

🏗️ Architecture

• UI — a local web front-end (web/) in a QWebEngineView (PySide6 + QtWebEngine), wired to Python over QWebChannel.
• Backend — hub/services/ controls each service via systemctl --user + HTTP probes; Ollama uses its REST API, ComfyUI model provenance/updates live in hub/services/comfy_models.py. Stdlib only.
• Adapting to another machine — service unit names and ports are in hub/services/*.py (unit= / health_url=).

📄 License

Local AI Hub is free and open source under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 (AGPLv3). You're free to use it commercially, fork it, and modify it — but if you modify it and run it as a hosted or networked service, AGPLv3 requires you to release your modified source too. That deliberately closes the loophole a permissive license leaves open for closed, hosted forks.

Release history is in CHANGELOG.md.
