feat(docker): local models, a password set up on first visit, and HTTPS in the image - #2368
llama.cpp, sd.cpp and audio.cpp run in the image, on the CPU. The desktop's staging scripts take --out, and llama.cpp's and sd.cpp's --variant cpu, so the image stages each from the same source as the desktop: llama.cpp from upstream's CPU build, sd.cpp compiled without Vulkan, audio.cpp as the desktop's Linux build.
The Kokoro voice is bundled, so podcasts work from the first start.
Office support works in the image: it now carries the system libraries LibreOffice's Linux build links against, about 21 MB. An image test checks they're there.
An access service in headless/access/, behind Caddy's forward_auth, decides every request.
Every instance has one password. The first visit, from any browser, shows Set up SurfSense; later visits show Sign in. It works the way Immich and Open WebUI create their first account. One field with a show/hide eye, no confirm field.
SURFSENSE_PASSWORD presets it, and resets a forgotten one. Settings › Access shows a password set that way as locked. Remove the variable and it becomes the app's to change.
SURFSENSE_AUTH=none turns sign-in off, for a server whose own proxy or VPN decides who reaches it. The log warns at every start, and any other value stops the container.
SURFSENSE_ALLOWED_HOSTS refuses any other name, with sign-in on or off, which stops DNS rebinding.
Sessions: signed HttpOnly, SameSite=Strict cookies for 30 days. Five wrong guesses a minute are slowed. Changing the password signs every other device out.
Other routes:
the sign-in callbacks need no session, since they're guarded by their own state and PKCE;
/api/internal/* is refused to every browser.
Compose publishes on every network the server is on (SURFSENSE_BIND=0.0.0.0), so a phone or laptop reaches a fresh install at once; 127.0.0.1 keeps it to the server. .env.example warns that Docker's ports pass ufw, so a VPS presets the password.
HTTPS and sign-ins from another device (step 11)
HTTPS:SURFSENSE_TLS=internal serves each allowed host under Caddy's own certificate authority. SURFSENSE_DOMAIN gets a Let's Encrypt certificate. The entry picks the Caddyfile and refuses a setting it can't serve.
Plugin sign-ins return to the device they started on:
a LAN name registers dynamically with its own callback;
a public domain signs in as the instance's own client document;
the API reads the browser's Host only in the container.
ChatGPT from another device: OpenAI only allows 127.0.0.1, so the dialog asks for the address the failed tab ended on and finishes the sign-in with it. The route answers only in the container.
How Docker differences are decided: one IN_CONTAINER flag for what the Docker build does differently, the Electron bridge for what only Electron can do, and in_container() in the API.
Sources: a source downloads from its menu. A click previews a PDF and does nothing on other files. No Show in folder.
Usage statistics: the image keeps none. The API neither counts activity nor serves /usage-statistics.
The right panel's toggle sits on the Studio heading's line, or the chat header's while the panel is hidden, since a browser has no title bar.
App changes that came with it
Voice input:
the recording sits inside the composer's row and never replaces the disclaimer line;
Send becomes Stop and insert while recording;
starting shows a spinner in the mic's place;
push-to-talk is removed.
Voice input's problems are toasts with their action. "No microphone" and "needs HTTPS" mark the mic instead.
Speech recognition set-up: the popover asks, then hands off to Settings, which alone lists the models and downloads. It shows a running download's progress, with Cancel download. The mic's ring is the shared download ring from the update pill.
Settings › Models says what the chat model in use can do (Chat, Studio, and where its rating came from) in every build, not only in development.
Studio's simple web page is styled like the agent's pages, and its prompts say the page holds text only.
Layout:
every dashboard column's title sits on one 56 px row;
a column edge shows a short grip, centred on its border, instead of a full-height line.
Chat messages: a message's time and Copy fade in on hover.
The dev stack
docker/surfsense/dev/compose.yml runs the image with the checkout mounted in, on 4930. Vite serves the frontend with hot reload, and --watch restarts the app on backend or entry changes. It opens to the machine's networks, as the install does, so a phone can test it.
Why
The Docker image is for a server you open from a phone or laptop. Without local models, a password and HTTPS, it was only usable from the host itself.
cd surfsense_local/headless && pnpm test: the access service, the start-up settings and the TLS modes.
cd surfsense_local/frontend && pnpm test && pnpm test:docker: the desktop tests and the Docker-tagged ones.
cd surfsense_local/backend && uv run pytest.
docker build -f docker/surfsense/Dockerfile -t surfsense:local ., then SURFSENSE_TEST_IMAGE=surfsense:local SURFSENSE_TEST_IMAGE_PORT=4931 node --test surfsense_local/headless/image.test.ts. That covers a fresh image asking to be set up, sign-in with SURFSENSE_PASSWORD, HTTPS on a LAN name, internal routes refused and LibreOffice's libraries.
By hand
SURFSENSE_IMAGE=surfsense SURFSENSE_VERSION=local docker compose -f docker/surfsense/docker-compose.yml up -d, then open http://<server address>:4929 from a phone. Expect Set up SurfSense, then the app; a second device gets Sign in.
Pick a local chat model, a voice and an image model. Chat, a podcast and a Studio image should run on the CPU.
With SURFSENSE_TLS=internal and your address in SURFSENSE_ALLOWED_HOSTS, open https://…:4943. After trusting Caddy's root, voice input works from the phone.
Settings › Access: change the password and confirm other devices are signed out. Set SURFSENSE_PASSWORD, restart, and confirm the section shows it locked.
Not verified against the real services: whether OpenAI accepts a non-loopback ChatGPT redirect, and whether Notion's dynamic registration accepts a LAN HTTPS redirect. Both are in the doc's Known gaps.

…rces
ADR 0074 replaces step 10's basic_auth: the browser's dialog has no page,
no sign-out and no place to set the password but .env. Caddy stays the one
door and asks an access service in the headless entry about every request
through forward_auth; the service keeps one scrypt-hashed password and
signed session cookies, slows guessing, and without a password still
answers only the host, by its Host header and its client address. The
proposal's access table, files and step 10 follow.
In the Docker build, the app sits behind a gate that reads /access/state:
once the instance has a password, a browser without a session sees
"Sign in to SurfSense", and a 401 from the API brings it back. Settings ›
Access creates the first password from the host, changes it with the
current one, and signs this browser out. A wrong password, too many tries,
a mismatch and a short password each say so in place. The desktop build
has neither, and every language has the new strings.
headless/access/ answers Caddy's forward_auth for every request, and the
app's /access/* routes. One password per instance, scrypt-hashed in
/data/access.json; sessions are HMAC-signed HttpOnly, SameSite=Strict
cookies, Secure over HTTPS, that a password change ends; five wrong tries
a minute per client answer 429; sign-in and sign-out refuse another site's
Origin. Without a password only the host is answered, by its Host and by
the client address Caddy sees. SURFSENSE_PASSWORD sets the password at
start and reaches no sidecar; SURFSENSE_ALLOWED_HOSTS limits the hosts;
SURFSENSE_BIND returns to compose. access.caddy replaces access-local.caddy.
The image tests start a second container with a password and check the
sign-in through Caddy, a forged X-Forwarded-Host included.
The desktop's staging scripts take --out, and llama.cpp's and sd.cpp's
--variant cpu, so the image stages each runtime from the same source:
llama.cpp from upstream's CPU build, sd.cpp compiled without Vulkan,
audio.cpp as the desktop's Linux build. The bundled Kokoro voice ships
too, so podcasts work from the first start.
SURFSENSE_TLS=internal serves each allowed host under Caddy's own
certificate authority; SURFSENSE_DOMAIN gets a Let's Encrypt certificate.
The headless entry picks the Caddyfile and refuses, at start, a setting
it cannot serve. Both share one set of routes, and Compose publishes 443
on SURFSENSE_HTTPS_PORT. The API learns the public domain, for plugin
sign-ins there.
In the Docker image the API trusts the browser's Host, which Caddy and
the access service have vetted, and never on the desktop. A LAN name
registers dynamically with its own callback; the public domain signs in
as the instance's own client document. The session cookie is Lax, so the
provider's redirect back carries it past Caddy.
…its address
OpenAI sends the browser to 127.0.0.1, which on another device than the
Docker host reaches nothing. The dialog asks for the address that tab
ended on, and the API hands its query to the waiting flow, checking the
path, code and state as its listener would.
…ck only previews
An upload's file lives in the container, where no app on the user's
computer can open it or show its folder. Its menu offers Download, from
GET .../documents/{id}/original, and the preview's button reads Download
file. A click previews a PDF and does nothing on other files.
…oes differently
Five places compared VITE_SURFSENSE_RUNTIME to "docker" themselves. They
read IN_CONTAINER now, and the variable is typed "docker" | undefined, so
a misspelt comparison fails typecheck. ADR 0075 records the rule: what
only Electron can do is gated on its bridge, what the Docker build does
differently on this flag, and the backend on in_container().
It read in_container from the API's status, a fact the frontend's build
already fixes. It reads IN_CONTAINER now, and the field is gone from the
status.
Nothing in the image reports them, so the API there neither counts
activity nor serves /usage-statistics. Before, only Electron's absence
kept the image from reporting.
…rowser withholds it
Outside a secure context, as the Docker image is from another device over
plain HTTP, the browser offers no microphone, and the strip said only that
it couldn't start. It reads window.isSecureContext, a browser rule rather
than a Docker one.
The desktop's browser shares the API's machine, so OpenAI's loopback
redirect always lands and nothing there calls it. Outside the container it
answers 404, and the desktop's own sign-in is untouched.
…s against
TDF's Linux build, unpacked into /data, could not start: a minimal Ubuntu
lacks NSS, D-Bus, cairo, GLib, CUPS, a few X11 libraries and any font.
The image installs them, about 21 MB, found by converting in throwaway
containers until it worked, and an image test checks they are present.
OpenAI and the plugin host return the browser to 127.0.0.1, and a browser
signed in on localhost holds no cookie for that name, so the access
service answered 401 and the sign-in never finished. /callback and
/plugins/oauth/callback are guarded by their own state and PKCE, so only
/api/ needs the session now; the host checks still apply. With nothing
cross-site needing the cookie, it is SameSite=Strict again.
Studio's rule, full pages and Office files or the simple path, moves to
studio_output() beside the capability levels. Studio's writes_script()
reads it, and the selection's capability carries it as studio, so
Settings can never promise another path than Studio takes.
…very build
The development-only box of test levels and an English note becomes
"What this model can do" under the model in use, closed until opened:
what Chat offers and how well, or Basic only and why; what Studio makes,
and what a stronger model adds; and, last, where the rating came from.
The desktop and the Docker image show the same.
The template a model below the bar fills had no stylesheet, so it read as
default serif on white. It carries the agent's example pages' paper
palette and type now, light only; the model still supplies only text.
Every tier's prompt says the page holds text only, so the model stops
describing diagrams it cannot make. The capable and frontier tiers may
add a one-sentence summary and a section of points; the compact tier is
asked for neither, so a small model's JSON stays simple.
…s line
A browser has no title bar, so the toggle there floated against the
panel's corner. In the Docker build it sits beside the Studio heading
while the panel is open, at the end of the chat header while it is
hidden, and over a citation or result preview not at all. The desktop
keeps it in the title bar. Both use LayoutAlignRightIcon.
docker/surfsense/dev/compose.yml runs the image's new `app` stage, everything
but the SPA, with the source mounted over it, on 127.0.0.1:4930 beside a real
install on 4929. Vite runs as its own service and Caddy proxies the SPA's route
to it, so the frontend hot-reloads; under --watch a backend, sidecar, entry or
Caddy change restarts the app container in a few seconds instead of a rebuild.
The SPA's route moves into caddy/spa.caddy, the one file the dev stack replaces;
the shipped image is unchanged and passes image.test.ts.
… DEV icon
The SPA gets a favicon, the app's icon at 16, 32 and 48 px, so the Docker
image's tab shows SurfSense instead of a globe. Vite's dev server swaps in the
DEV icon and the title SurfSense Dev, as Electron's dev build names itself, so
the dev stack's tab is told apart from an install's.
…ut a port clash
The image test named an image nothing built, and published on 4929 and
4943 beside a running install. The commands now build surfsense:local,
run the install on it, move the test to 4931 and 4945 with
SURFSENSE_TEST_IMAGE_PORT, and stop the dev stack or renew its volumes
after a lockfile change.
The sidebar's wordmark and Studio's heading sized their rows from
padding while the chat and a preview used 56 px, so the titles across
the top sat at different heights. All four share ColumnHeader now. In
Docker, the right panel's toggle keeps one spot whether the panel is
open, beside Studio, or hidden, in the chat header.
On hover, focus or a drag, the edge between columns lit a line the full
height of the dashboard. It shows a 32 px grip at the middle now, centred
on the 1 px border of the column it resizes, which sits half a pixel to
one side of the boundary.
… in toasts
The mic's set-up popover only asks now, Not now or Set up…, and hands off
to Settings › Speech recognition, which alone offers the models and their
downloads; a download under way shows its percentage there, in the mic's
tooltip and in the shared ring around the mic. A problem never replaces
the composer's disclaimer: a one-off one is a toast with its action, and
no microphone or a page that is not secure marks the mic instead.
The strip sat under the composer, in place of its disclaimer. It takes the
source count's place inside the composer now, in both placements, and the
line below never changes. While it records the mic hides and Send's place
is Stop and insert. Starting shows a spinner in the mic's place, not muted
bars, until the first real sound brings the strip and its timer. Push to
talk is gone: a long press is a click.
…nd opens to the server's networks
Sign-in is always on. Whoever opens a new instance first creates its
password, from any browser, with one field and an eye, as Immich and Open
WebUI have their first account. SURFSENSE_PASSWORD presets it, and the app
shows a password set there locked; without the variable it becomes the
app's to change. SURFSENSE_AUTH=none turns sign-in off for a server whose
own proxy or VPN decides who reaches it.
Compose now publishes on every network the server is on, so phones and
laptops reach a fresh install at once. docs/architecture/docker-access.md
holds every case, from a home server to a public domain.
Without a session, the access check answered /api/internal/* with 401, as
if signing in would open it, before Caddy's own refusal ran. It answers
403 first now, signed in or not and with sign-in off.
…nstall does
It published on 127.0.0.1 only, so testing from a phone needed an override
to remember, and dev behaved unlike a real install. Both ports default to
0.0.0.0 now; SURFSENSE_BIND=127.0.0.1 keeps it to the machine. The commands
list says which port each answers on.
The CPU image is built, so what is true now moves from the proposal into
docs/architecture/docker.md, written from the code: the container, the
entries, Caddy and HTTPS, the frontend without Electron, sign-ins, the
image, Compose, the dev stack, CI and releases, with what is not built as
Known gaps. The GPU images, not built, stay a proposal, as
proposals/docker-gpu.md. Every link and code comment that named the
proposal points at the new doc.
The pull request expands Docker deployment with CPU runtimes, password-based access, TLS options, installers, and a development Compose stack. It also changes OAuth callback handling, dictation, model-capability reporting, Studio output, browser localization, and Docker-specific frontend behavior.
Changes: Docker deployment and access
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Image and deployment workflows docker/surfsense/Dockerfile, docker/surfsense/docker-compose.yml, docker/surfsense/dev/*, surfsense_local/runtimes/*, .github/workflows/docker-tests.yml
The image stages CPU llama.cpp, sd.cpp, and audio.cpp runtimes. Compose adds configurable HTTP and HTTPS ports and a development stack. CI checks both Compose files and runs installer checks.
Installers and deployment guidance docker/scripts/*, docker/surfsense/.env.example, README*.md, docs/architecture/docker.md
Shell and PowerShell installers support first installs and updates. The environment example documents password, host, bind, and TLS settings. README files add self-hosting instructions.
Access service and TLS routing surfsense_local/headless/access/*, surfsense_local/headless/main.ts, surfsense_local/headless/tls-mode.ts, surfsense_local/headless/caddy.ts, docker/surfsense/caddy/*, surfsense_local/headless/image.test.ts
The headless entry starts a loopback access service and selects plain HTTP, internal TLS, or domain-based Caddy configuration. The access service handles password setup, signed sessions, host checks, and failed-login throttling.
Plugin OAuth derives callback and client-document behavior from the request’s browser origin. A configured public HTTPS domain can return its client document; LAN origins use their own callback.
When a browser cannot reach the container callback, the frontend accepts a pasted callback address. The backend validates the path, code, and state, then delivers the query to the waiting flow.
Container behavior and usage statistics surfsense_local/frontend/src/app/in-container.ts, surfsense_local/backend/modules/usage_statistics/*, surfsense_local/backend/api/main.py, surfsense_local/frontend/src/features/models/remote/connections/claude/*
The frontend uses a typed container flag for Docker-specific behavior. Docker does not register the usage-statistics route or write activity counts. Claude status no longer includes in_container.
Shared application behavior
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Dictation and speech setup surfsense_local/frontend/src/features/chat/chat-composer.tsx, surfsense_local/frontend/src/features/dictation/*, surfsense_local/frontend/src/features/speech-setup/*, surfsense_local/frontend/translations/*
Recording uses a Stop and insert action in the composer. Dictation problems appear in toasts or on the microphone. Speech model selection moves to Settings; the setup popover displays progress and can cancel an active download.
Model capabilities and Studio output surfsense_local/backend/modules/llm/capability/*, surfsense_local/backend/worker/studio/*, surfsense_local/frontend/src/features/models/capability/*
The capability response adds a studio value of full or simple. The model-capability panel shows Chat, Studio, and test status in a closed-by-default disclosure. Studio HTML supports summaries, paragraphs, and point lists with embedded styling.
Dashboard, sources, localization, and UI surfsense_local/frontend/src/features/dashboard/*, surfsense_local/frontend/src/features/sources/*, surfsense_local/frontend/src/i18n/*, surfsense_local/frontend/vite-plugins/*, surfsense_local/frontend/vite.config.ts
Container builds place the right-panel toggle in the chat or Studio header and download original files instead of using the native open action. Browser locale handling is added as a fallback to the Electron locale bridge. Development pages receive a distinct title and favicon.
The change is mostly sound. Before merge, add a README warning that the default network install uses plain HTTP. Check that the Windows installer test passes under pwsh. The remaining items are dev-stack and runtime-staging edge cases with limited impact.

a burst of parallel guesses all passed the limit before any was counted.

What
Steps 7 to 11 of the Docker work, on top of #2365: the image runs SurfSense's local models, every instance has a password set up on first visit, it serves HTTPS, and sign-ins finish from any device. The Docker proposal is now
docs/architecture/docker.mdanddocs/architecture/docker-access.md; GPU images stay a proposal,docs/proposals/docker-gpu.md.Local models (steps 7–9)
--out, and llama.cpp's and sd.cpp's--variant cpu, so the image stages each from the same source as the desktop: llama.cpp from upstream's CPU build, sd.cpp compiled without Vulkan, audio.cpp as the desktop's Linux build.Signing in (step 10, ADR 0074)
headless/access/, behind Caddy'sforward_auth, decides every request.SURFSENSE_PASSWORDpresets it, and resets a forgotten one. Settings › Access shows a password set that way as locked. Remove the variable and it becomes the app's to change.SURFSENSE_AUTH=noneturns sign-in off, for a server whose own proxy or VPN decides who reaches it. The log warns at every start, and any other value stops the container.SURFSENSE_ALLOWED_HOSTSrefuses any other name, with sign-in on or off, which stops DNS rebinding.HttpOnly,SameSite=Strictcookies for 30 days. Five wrong guesses a minute are slowed.

SURFSENSE_TLS=internalserves each allowed host under Caddy's own certificate authority.SURFSENSE_DOMAINgets a Let's Encrypt certificate. The entry picks the Caddyfile and refuses a setting it can't serve.Hostonly in the container.127.0.0.1, so the dialog asks for the address the failed tab ended on and finishes the sign-in with it. The route answers only in the container.The app in Docker (ADR 0075)

The dev stack
docker/surfsense/dev/compose.ymlruns the image with the checkout mounted in, on 4930. Vite serves the frontend with hot reload, and--watchrestarts the app on backend or entry changes. It opens to the machine's networks, as the install does, so a phone can test it.Why

How to test
Automated
cd surfsense_local/headless && pnpm test: the access service, the start-up settings and the TLS modes.cd surfsense_local/frontend && pnpm test && pnpm test:docker: the desktop tests and the Docker-tagged ones.cd surfsense_local/backend && uv run pytest.docker build -f docker/surfsense/Dockerfile -t surfsense:local ., thenSURFSENSE_TEST_IMAGE=surfsense:local SURFSENSE_TEST_IMAGE_PORT=4931 node --test surfsense_local/headless/image.test.ts. That covers a fresh image asking to be set up, sign-in withSURFSENSE_PASSWORD, HTTPS on a LAN name, internal routes refused and LibreOffice's libraries.By hand
SURFSENSE_IMAGE=surfsense SURFSENSE_VERSION=local docker compose -f docker/surfsense/docker-compose.yml up -d, then openhttp://<server address>:4929from a phone. Expect Set up SurfSense, then the app; a second device gets Sign in.SURFSENSE_TLS=internaland your address inSURFSENSE_ALLOWED_HOSTS, openhttps://…:4943. After trusting Caddy's root, voice input works from the phone.SURFSENSE_PASSWORD, restart, and confirm the section shows it locked.Not verified against the real services: whether OpenAI accepts a non-loopback ChatGPT redirect, and whether Notion's dynamic registration accepts a LAN HTTPS redirect. Both are in the doc's Known gaps.
