Your Own Private AI.
Run AI locally on your own hardware. Generate images, chat with a local LLM, transcribe audio, clone voices. No subscriptions, no data leaving your home. No cloud required.
Why Local AI
Privacy. Cost. Control. Three reasons people are moving their AI off the cloud — and onto Unraid.
Your data never leaves your network.
Every prompt, every file, every conversation stays on your hardware. No logs, no telemetry, no data shared with a black box.
No subscriptions. No per-token pricing.
Pay for hardware once, or, use what you have lying around. Run unlimited queries. No caps, no paywalls, no rate limits.
Full Control. You decide which models to run.
Llama, DeepSeek, Qwen, Mistral, Phi — switch any time. Run the latest models the day it drops or optimally use models for specific workloads.
Local AI on your Unraid server isn't just chatbots, it's image generation, music, voice cloning, photo recognition, automatic transcription, and so much more, all running on hardware you already own. But where do you even start? This isn't a setup guide. Think of it as your mental map of local AI, so when you do start installing things, you'll actually understand what you're doing and why.
Two types of AI. Both run locally on Unraid.
Hardware
You might already have what you need. Local AI scales to your hardware. Here's what each tier gets you.
