The installer prints the initial sign-in credentials. ## Supported access protocols Access your existing private services through Liaison.

SSH / SFTP
Desktop
SQL databases
Data & search
Cache
Storage
LLM upstream protocols
Web / TCP

LLM upstreams support **OpenAI-compatible**, **Anthropic Messages**, and **Ollama**. Clients use OpenAI-compatible endpoints; Anthropic upstreams also expose native Messages endpoints. Logos identify existing services you can access, not products bundled or deployed by Liaison. Database and desktop logos refer to browser workspaces, not native database/RDP/VNC server listeners. ## Agent model providers Configure the model behind Liaison’s built-in Agent, independently of service access.

Models

Eight provider presets, plus custom OpenAI-compatible services. ## Product tour ### Local LLM access  ### Web SSH Work in an audited browser terminal with an Agent that can inspect session output and help draft commands.  ### Private web applications Access media servers and other internal web applications through Liaison.  ### Private AI assistants Keep internal AI tools reachable without exposing the private network.  ### Web MySQL Browse schemas, run SQL, and ask the session Agent to query and explain results, with approval where required.  ### Web MongoDB Explore collections and ask the session Agent to run approved queries and explain documents, without a local client.  ### Web VNC Open a private VNC desktop in a managed browser session.  ### Web RDP Connect to an RDP desktop from the same access workflow.  ## Documentation - [Docker deployment](deploy/docker/README.md) - [API reference](docs/swagger/swagger.yaml) - [Release notes](https://github.com/liaisonio/liaison/releases) - [Issues](https://github.com/liaisonio/liaison/issues) - [Discussions](https://github.com/liaisonio/liaison/discussions) ## Contributing Liaison is actively evolving, and we welcome developers contributing to the self-hosted edition in this repository. - AI agents: integrations, session management, and collaboration. - Application access: SSH, files, databases, IDEs, remote desktops, and model APIs. - Cross-platform support: installation and compatibility on Linux, macOS, and Windows. - User experience: interface improvements, translations, and documentation.
