Offline / Air-Gapped Setup

The lab still works offline once assets are prefetched.

Pre-Download

• Ubuntu and Debian cloud images
• Ollama installer and smollm2:135m
• Weaviate and Qdrant binaries
• pip wheels for:
• chromadb==0.6.3
• mlflow==2.21.3
• litellm[proxy]==1.60.7
• ray[default]==2.44.1
• streamlit==1.41.1
• langserve==0.3.1
• langchain-core==0.3.35
• fastapi==0.115.6
• uvicorn==0.34.0

Notes

• The HF TGI, HF TEI, and vLLM mocks are pure Python stdlib services, so they do not add extra wheel requirements.
• Bash remains the default deploy path even in offline scenarios.
