Git 2.35.2+ rejects repos where directory owner != current user, which is the common case when cloned as root into /opt. setup.sh now detects this and calls git config --global --add safe.directory automatically. When run via sudo, it writes into SUDO_USER's config rather than root's. README updated with both fixes: git safe.directory and chown for preflight.

Peregrine
AI-powered job search pipeline — by Circuit Forge LLC
"Don't be evil, for real and forever."
Automates the full job search lifecycle: discovery → matching → cover letters → applications → interview prep. Privacy-first, local-first. Your data never leaves your machine.
Quick Start
1. Clone and install dependencies (Docker, NVIDIA toolkit if needed):
git clone https://git.opensourcesolarpunk.com/pyr0ball/peregrine
cd peregrine
./manage.sh setup
2. Start Peregrine:
./manage.sh start # remote profile (API-only, no GPU)
./manage.sh start --profile cpu # local Ollama on CPU
./manage.sh start --profile single-gpu # Ollama + Vision on GPU 0
./manage.sh start --profile dual-gpu # Ollama + Vision + vLLM (GPU 0 + 1)
Or use make directly:
make start # remote profile
make start PROFILE=single-gpu
3. Open http://localhost:8501 — the setup wizard guides you through the rest.
macOS: Docker Desktop must be running before starting. Windows: Not supported — use WSL2 with Ubuntu.
Installing to /opt or other system directories
If you clone into a root-owned directory (e.g. sudo git clone ... /opt/peregrine), two things need fixing:
1. Git ownership warning (fatal: detected dubious ownership) — ./manage.sh setup fixes this automatically. If you need git to work before running setup:
git config --global --add safe.directory /opt/peregrine
2. Preflight write access — preflight writes .env and compose.override.yml into the repo directory. Fix ownership once:
sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /opt/peregrine
After that, run everything without sudo.
Podman
Podman is rootless by default — no sudo needed. ./manage.sh setup will configure podman-compose if it isn't already present.
Docker
After ./manage.sh setup, log out and back in for docker group membership to take effect. Until then, prefix commands with sudo. After re-login, sudo is no longer required.
Inference Profiles
| Profile | Services started | Use case |
|---|---|---|
remote |
app + searxng | No GPU; LLM calls go to Anthropic / OpenAI |
cpu |
app + ollama + searxng | No GPU; local models on CPU (slow) |
single-gpu |
app + ollama + vision + searxng | One GPU: cover letters, research, vision |
dual-gpu |
app + ollama + vllm + vision + searxng | GPU 0 = Ollama, GPU 1 = vLLM |
First-Run Wizard
On first launch the setup wizard walks through seven steps:
- Hardware — detects NVIDIA GPUs and recommends a profile
- Tier — choose free, paid, or premium (or use
dev_tier_overridefor local testing) - Identity — name, email, phone, LinkedIn, career summary
- Resume — upload a PDF/DOCX for LLM parsing, or use the guided form builder
- Inference — configure LLM backends and API keys
- Search — job titles, locations, boards, keywords, blocklist
- Integrations — optional cloud storage, calendar, and notification services
Wizard state is saved after each step — a crash or browser close resumes where you left off. Re-enter the wizard any time via Settings → Developer → Reset wizard.

Configure in Settings → Email. Requires IMAP access and, for Gmail, an App Password.
Integrations
Connect external services in Settings → Integrations:
- Job tracking: Notion, Airtable, Google Sheets
- Document storage: Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, MEGA, Nextcloud
- Calendar: Google Calendar, Apple Calendar (CalDAV)
- Notifications: Slack, Discord (webhook), Home Assistant
CLI Reference (manage.sh)
manage.sh is the single entry point for all common operations — no need to remember Make targets or Docker commands.
./manage.sh setup Install Docker/Podman + NVIDIA toolkit
./manage.sh start [--profile P] Preflight check then start services
./manage.sh stop Stop all services
./manage.sh restart Restart all services
./manage.sh status Show running containers
./manage.sh logs [service] Tail logs (default: app)
./manage.sh update Pull latest images + rebuild app container
./manage.sh preflight Check ports + resources; write .env
./manage.sh test Run test suite
./manage.sh prepare-training Scan docs for cover letters → training JSONL
./manage.sh finetune Run LoRA fine-tune (needs --profile single-gpu+)
./manage.sh open Open the web UI in your browser
./manage.sh clean Remove containers, images, volumes (asks to confirm)
