How to run a private local copy of the dashboard with Ollama with Worldmonitor

Clone the repo and run the dashboard on your own machine with local AI.

Authorization notice. Worldmonitor is dual-use. Only use it on software, sites and systems you own or have explicit permission to test.

Who it is forA developer or researcher who wants the dashboard running locally and prefers local AI over hosted API keys.

The problemHosted tools send your queries and briefs to third-party AI services, which may be unacceptable for sensitive research.

The outcomeThe dashboard running at localhost:3000 with AI summaries handled by a local Ollama model.

What you need first

  • Node.js and npm for the CLI, terminal dashboard, or local dev server
  • A World Monitor API key from worldmonitor.app/pro for authenticated calls such as risk lookups and MCP tool calls
  • Ollama installed if you want the local AI option, since the README says it runs with no API keys
  • Git for cloning the repo in the self-hosting path

Steps

  1. Run git clone https://github.com/koala73/worldmonitor.git
  2. Run cd worldmonitor
  3. Run npm install
  4. Run npm run dev
  5. Open localhost:3000 in a browser and confirm the news briefs load

Prompt for your agent

In the worldmonitor repo, run `npm install` and `npm run dev`, then open localhost:3000. Report whether the dashboard loads and whether news briefs appear. Verify that the AI summaries come from the Ollama setup described in the docs, not a hosted key.

Caveat. The README says the app runs with no environment variables, but some feature-specific data sources may need credentials listed in .env.example, so some panels may stay empty without them.
