An AI-powered search engine with a generative UI - Configured for Local AI Models

This is a customized version of Morphic configured to work exclusively with local AI models through OpenAI-compatible endpoints (like KoboldCpp). All cloud AI providers have been removed for a fully self-hosted experience.

• ✅ All models configured to use local AI endpoint
• ✅ Interactive logo with eye-tracking mouse movement
• ✅ Docker deployment optimized for local model usage
• ✅ Removed dependency on cloud AI providers

git clone https://github.com/Peterfish/morphic.git morphic-custom
cd morphic-custom

# Clone and build KoboldCpp
git clone https://github.com/LostRuins/koboldcpp
cd koboldcpp
make

# Run with your preferred model
./koboldcpp --model path/to/your/model.gguf --port 5001

cp .env.local.example .env.local

Edit .env.local:

# Local AI Configuration
OPENAI_COMPATIBLE_API_KEY=any-key-will-work
OPENAI_COMPATIBLE_API_BASE_URL=http://localhost:5001/v1

# Search Configuration
TAVILY_API_KEY=your-tavily-api-key  # Get from https://app.tavily.com

# Optional
BASE_URL=http://localhost:3000

# Start all services
docker compose up -d

# Or if using separate KoboldCpp container
docker compose up -d && docker compose -f docker-compose.kobold.yaml up -d

Visit http://localhost:3030 in your browser.

docker pull ghcr.io/Peterfish/morphic-custom:latest

# Run with docker-compose
docker compose up -d

services:
  morphic:
    image: ghcr.io/Peterfish/morphic-custom:latest
    env_file: .env.local
    ports:
      - '3030:3000'
    depends_on:
      - redis
      - searxng

See BUILD_CUSTOM_IMAGE.md for detailed instructions on:

• Modifying the codebase for your needs
• Building your own Docker image
• Pushing to GitHub Container Registry
• Deploying your custom build

1. Open your browser settings
2. Navigate to search engine settings
3. Add new search engine:
   • Name: Morphic Local
   • Keyword: morphic
   • URL: http://localhost:3030/search?q=%s
4. Set as default search engine

1. Connection to AI model failed

   • Ensure KoboldCpp is running on port 5001
   • Check OPENAI_COMPATIBLE_API_BASE_URL in .env.local

2. Search not working

   • Verify TAVILY_API_KEY is set correctly
   • Check SearXNG container is running

3. Docker networking issues

   • Use container names for inter-container communication
   • Example: http://koboldcpp:5001/v1 instead of localhost

# Install dependencies
bun install

# Run development server
bun dev

# Build for production
bun build

• Original Morphic by @miurla
• Built with Vercel AI SDK
• Interactive logo inspired by classic animated eyes
