Pantry – Brew/Docker for LLMs
Started this a few months ago because I wanted a better test runner for an entirely different LLM-based project, then got completely nerdsniped by making LLMs as easy as possible to hotswap into other projects. It's still on the early side but it's finally at the point where I would happily use it for my original project, so I figured I'd post it. It's also—almost by accident—fully remote compatible (permissioning system included!), so you can host it on a box and then connect a program to it remotely.
Pantry – Brew/Docker for LLMs launched on September 6, 2023 with 5 votes, #1,754 of 4,228 launches that month and more than 50% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 3 years on.

Ollama – Run LLMs on your Mac2023 · github.com · ▲284Hi HN A few folks and I have been working on this project for a couple weeks now. After previously working on the Docker project for a number of years (both on the container runtime and image registry side), the recent rise in open source language models made us think something similar needed to exist for large language models too. While not exactly the same as running linux containers, running LLMs shares quite a few of the same challenges. There are "base layers" (e.g. models like Llama 2), specific configuration to run correctly (parameters, temperature, context window sizes etc). There's…
- MGmacOS GUI for running LLMs locally2023 · avapls.com · ▲58
Hello HN, I've been working on this project for a while, and it has been in an "open" beta for some time. I finally believe it's ready for its first release. I hope you like it. Here are some potential questions that may arise: 1. How does it compare to LM Studio? It's likely that if you're already using LM Studio, you'll continue to do so. This project is designed to be more user-friendly. 2. Is it open-source? No, it is not. 3. Does it use any open-source libraries? Yes, it uses llama.cpp and a few others, as indicated in the license information included with the application. 4. Why is not…
Yet another memory system for LLMs2025 · github.com · ▲165Built this for my LLM workflows - needed searchable, persistent memory that wouldn't blow up storage costs. I also wanted to use it locally for my research. It's a content-addressed storage system with block-level deduplication (saves 30-40% on typical codebases). I have integrated the CLI tool into most of my workflows in Zed, Claude Code, and Cursor, and I provide the prompt I'm currently using in the repo. The project is in C++ and the build system is rough around the edges but is tested on macOS and Ubuntu 24.04.

Bash4LLM+ – A lightweight, dependency-free Bash wrapper for LLM APIsJun 2026 · github.com · ▲60Bash4LLM is a single-file Bash wrapper for interacting with LLMs from the terminal. I created it because I wanted something simple that worked without installing Python, Node, or any other runtime. It uses only Bash, curl, and jq. You can send prompts, start a small chat, process files line by line, stream output, and save session metadata in JSON format. I tried to make it safe and predictable: no use of the system /tmp, no use of eval. Groq is supported by default, and other providers can be added with dedicated Bash scripts in the extras/providers/ folder. Example: echo…
Run LLMs in Docker for any language without prebuilding containersJan 2026 · github.com · ▲26I've been looking for a way to run LLMs safely without needing to approve every command. There are plenty of projects out there that run the agent in docker, but they don't always contain the dependencies that I need. Then it struck me. I already define project dependencies with mise. What if we could build a container on the fly for any project by reading the mise config? I've been using agent-en-place for a couple of weeks now, and it's working great! I'd love to hear what y'all think
