In this video, I take a first look at this new Kickstarter project to see if it can replace my current stack. I’m running this on an Nvidia 3060 to test if it can handle the "guts and brains" of my office automation plans for 2026. I walk through the entire process: wiping the drive, the unique installation steps, and setting up the core tools: Ollama for LLMs and n8n for workflow automation. I also tackle the "missing piece" (Postgres) by testing out RAGFlow for document interaction. However, there is one major concern regarding "LarePass" and Cloudflare tunneling that makes me question if this is truly self-hosted. In this video, we cover: Installation and Boot Process (Warning: It wipes your drive!) Setting up Ollama and fixing API permissions. Connecting n8n to a local AI backend. Testing RAGFlow for meeting notes and vector storage. My concerns about dependency on Olares' cloud infrastructure. 00:00 Introduction and Overview 00:37 Initial Impressions of Olares 01:49 Setup and Installation Process 03:08 Exploring Ollama and N8N Integration 09:41 RAGFlow and Data Management 10:54 Ad Break 10:54 Future Plans and Conclusion
