meloki AdminPACK
Introduction
meloki is a local AI instance on the scope7 hardware that was developed specifically for customers and offers easy access to powerful AI solutions. This documentation describes the functionality of the meloki AdminPACK.
The meloki software and AI solutions are installed on the primary NVMe drive. An additional 1TB SSD drive is available. It is used for backups, but you can also use it to store input or output data (RAG files, audio files, or your own models).
This document assumes that you have already set up your meloki system using our Quick Start Guides.
Accessing meloki
You can access the system either via SSH or via the web interface.
meloki requires internet access to download open-source software or LLM models. The incoming web user interface for meloki or the web UIs of the AI solutions, as well as the SSH services, are only intended for administration within the LAN and must be blocked from the WAN by a firewall.
SSH access
Use the following SSH commands to establish a connection:
- For DHCP-assigned IP:
ssh meloki@<dhcp-assigned-ip>
- For static IP:
ssh meloki@172.20.10.1
The password is secudos.
Access via web interface
The meloki web UI is only accessible via HTTPS.
During initial setup:
https://DHCP-IP/
After setup:
https://DHCP-IP/meloki
Or use your FQDN with your own SSL certificate.
meloki Login
The admin panel requires an authenticated user.
Log in with meloki as the username and meloki as the password.
meloki Admin Panel
The meloki Admin Panel is your overview of the currently running AI solutions and offers system settings, updates, and backups.
You can view the operating system version and the currently running NVIDIA driver for your graphics card.
The system utilization information allows you to view the current utilization (CPU, memory, and disk) of the system. We also provide information about the graphics card (GPU and VRAM).
You can choose between German and English via the Language Selection.
The OpenSource AI solutions are divided into individual sections.
Click on a section to open it.
Panel Sections
Example: Chat & RAG
Here, OpenWebUI is used with Ollama as an open source AI solution.
OpenWebUI is already connected to Ollama. You can start working with it right away, without any additional setup.
The current status indicates whether the application is currently running or stopped.
Other possible statuses are preparing, Downloading Standard Models, Backup Running, or Check Status.
In the Control section, you can enable or disable the application.
If Updates are available, this is indicated in the corresponding column with Available.
You can update the open source solution to the latest version via the Maintenance category and the Update button.
With Show logs, you can view the logs of the respective solution live:
Here you can choose which logs you want to view from the solutions in use:
meloki-openwebui-1, meloki-ollama-1, and meloki-nginx-1
Click Create backup to start a backup of all open-source solutions in this section.
The status will then change to Backup in progress.
The backup process only backs up user data, not the software itself.
Clicking on Restore opens a window that displays all backups that have already been created.
Open the backup list by clicking on Select Snapshot.
After selecting a backup from the list, please confirm the action by clicking on Restore.
The Status will then change to Restoring.
Please note that while a backup or restore is in progress, the solutions will not be available to users.
During Restore, you have the option to limit the restore to individual solutions.
Downloaded models: This refers to your local Ollama models.
User data, chat, and knowledge base: This refers to all user data from OpenWebUI.
If you are unsure what should be restored, we recommend always restoring both together.
Settings
You can open the settings via the Settings button located at the top right.
Updates
Updates are divided into system updates and application updates
You can manually check for new versions via Check for Updates.

System updates can be downloaded and installed via the Install 67 Updates Now button.
Application updates can only be installed in the Admin Panel in the respective section using the Update button.
With the Automatic Updates button, you can specify whether system or application updates should be checked for automatically daily or weekly.
This only checks for updates automatically. No downloads or installations are performed.
