Practical overview
When it fits
Use Vibe Workflow when you need a visual way to assemble generative image or video workflows and want either a hosted browser experience or a self-hosted application.
Who it is for
- Creators building repeatable image or video generation workflows.
- Studios assembling pipelines for producing variations of creative assets.
- Developers who want to self-host a visual workflow editor or use the hosted version's documented API and embed support.
Documented uses
- Arrange modular nodes into a visual generative image pipeline.
- Compose workflows for AI image editing and video generation.
- Configure a local deployment or use the hosted browser version.
Requirements & limits
The repository is public and lists an MIT license. A hosted browser version is documented at muapi.ai/workflow. Self-hosted generation requires a MuAPI API key.
- The workflow editor is distinct from the model backend: the documented generative AI connection is MuAPI.
- Local development uses Node.js 20+, Python 3.10+ and npm 7+; the Docker route lists Docker 20+ and Compose 2+.
- The documented stack uses a Next.js frontend and FastAPI backend.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Start the self-hosted app with Docker Compose
Configure the documented Docker setup and start the Vibe Workflow services.
Before you start
- Docker 20 or later
- Docker Compose 2 or later
- A MuAPI API key
Steps
Copy the example environment file to .env.
Add your MuAPI key to .env as MU_API_KEY.
Run docker compose up --build.
Open the frontend at http://localhost:3000; the backend API is listed at http://localhost:8000.
Expected outcome
The documented setup starts the frontend and backend services, with the frontend at localhost:3000.
Guide limitations
- This setup uses MuAPI for generative AI capabilities and requires its API key.
