Solace is the open-source privacy-first AI chat platform designed to make private AI chat accessible to everyone, whether self-hosting or using cloud deployment. Built around local inference, human-scale infrastructure, and minimal trust, Solace puts you in control of your AI conversations.
Solace provides a complete chat interface, authentication system, and support for multiple local LLMs through Ollama. It makes it easy to build and scale privacy-focused AI applications with strong local data control.
Development of Solace is led by maintainers. We welcome contributions and love receiving feedback.
You can use Docker (recommended) or build from source to self host Solace. Check out our self-hosting guide for detailed instructions. Community support for self-hosting is available in the discussions section on GitHub.
- Join our GitHub discussions for help and discussions.
- Report issues when building and using the open source Solace platform through GitHub Issues
- By submitting pull requests, you confirm that Solace can use, modify, copy, and redistribute the contribution, under the terms of its choice.
- If you choose to self-host, we recommend following the self-hosting guide. If you are instead building from source, make sure to change your instance secrets and admin keys from the defaults in the repo.
- Solace is battle tested most thoroughly on Linux and Mac. On Windows, it has less experience. If you run into issues, please open an issue
- Solace intentionally avoids cloud-only dependencies and centralized inference for privacy and data control. The platform is designed to work locally first.
