Credentials. Target settings are saved to ~/.model-deploy-assistant/targets.json, so limit who can read that file on a shared machine.
Remote script. One-click engine install can download, compile, or pip-install software on the remote machine, so check what it will run before you confirm.
Who it is forA team lead or ops engineer with a GPU server on the local network who needs to serve a model to others.
The problemStarting and watching an inference service on a remote GPU machine usually means juggling SSH sessions and separate monitoring tools.
The outcomeA model served by llama.cpp, vLLM, or SGLang on the remote target, with live GPU, VRAM, throughput, and latency curves in the browser.
What you need first
- Python 3.9+ and Node.js 18+ on the control machine
- A target machine with llama.cpp, vLLM, or ComfyUI already installed, or installable through the tool
- Network or SSH access to any remote target you want to manage
Steps
- Run
cd backendthenpip install -r requirements.txt, thenuvicorn app.main:app --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8000 - In a second terminal, run
cd frontendthennpm install && npm run dev, and openhttp://localhost:3000 - On Settings, add the remote machine over SSH with a key or password, confirm the OS, set the engine path and model directory, and click Test connection
- On Model Store, download a model and confirm integrity after the download finishes
- On Deploy, start the inference service and adjust runtime parameters, then open Monitor to watch the live curves
Prompt for your agent
Using the repo htobty/ReadyLLM, start the backend and frontend, add the remote SSH target <target-name> at <host-address>, and deploy a downloaded model with the engine the target has. Report the service status and the current GPU and VRAM readings from Monitor, and verify the service responds before finishing.
Caveat. vLLM does not run natively on Windows, so Windows targets must use WSL2 for it.
