The Air-Gapped Sovereign Guide: Running Crewloom 100% Offline with Ollama & DeepSeek-Coder

Achieving Total Software Engineering Sovereignty

Enterprise compliance frameworks (HIPAA, SOC2 Type II, GDPR, Defense specs) routinely forbid connecting source code repositories or database schemas to external LLM endpoints.

Crewloom (https://crewloom.org) was built specifically for air-gapped sovereignty. You can run all 44 specialist skills, terminal bridge commands, and zero-destruction contract verifications completely disconnected from the Internet.

Step 1: Install Ollama & Pull DeepSeek-Coder

First, ensure your local inference engine is running with a coding-specialized model:

# Pull DeepSeek-Coder or Llama 3 Code
ollama pull deepseek-coder:6.7b
ollama serve

Step 2: Configure Crewloom to Point to Local Socket

Configure Crewloom's sovereign daemon to bind directly to your local Ollama port (11434):

crewloom config set provider ollama
crewloom config set model deepseek-coder:6.7b
crewloom config set endpoint http://127.0.0.1:11434

Step 3: Execute Air-Gapped Missions

Now, issue autonomous software development tasks with mathematical certainty that zero bytes leave your workstation:

crewloom run "Refactor payment processing module with additive database migration"

Crewloom verifies the syntax via local AST parser, runs local test suites, and commits safe diffs without communicating with any external cloud.
