Why agentbox?

What you want to do	How agentbox helps
Resume coding anywhere	Connect to persistent workspaces from your browser; code, home configuration, and chat history stay on your server
Use familiar agents	Switch between streaming Web chat and the original Claude Code or Codex CLI terminal
Take a task through delivery	Upload a project → assign a task → preview files → review Git diffs → commit or download
Reuse environments and resources	Per-user `/shared` directories, two layers of home templates, Claude skill management, and per-user MCP management with workspace overrides
Manage accounts and costs centrally	OAuth / API key / relay account pools, per-user access, usage details, pricing catalog updates, historical price snapshots, and a credit ledger
Reach your private network	Optional abox-link gives cloud agents access to allowlisted repositories, databases, and services; check the connection status and details from the chat bar

The server is a single Go binary with an embedded frontend, using SQLite for state and Docker to isolate workspaces, with systemd deployment and backup tools included.

Screenshots

These are browser screenshots of the current source UI, using synthetic projects, conversations, terminal output, and usage data. They contain no real accounts or business records and do not represent live model results. Released versions may differ from the current source. Click an image to enlarge it. The app interface is currently in Chinese.

From task to code	From code to delivery

Terminal · Keep your working sessionRun commands, use the original CLI, and reattach to tmux after a disconnect.	Changes · Review every editBrowse diffs and complete files, then commit after review.

Files · Manage source and artifactsEdit, preview, and download archives from project and shared directories. The source viewer includes line numbers, syntax highlighting, current-line highlighting, line/column navigation, and fullscreen mode.	Usage · Understand your costsFilter by user, model, and time; inspect pricing sources and turn latency.

Accounts · Manage access centrallyMaintain Claude / Codex accounts and control which users may use them.	Private network · Reach services accessible from your computerAccess allowed targets transparently and inspect client and workspace network status.

Choose system, light, or dark themes. Narrow screens use drawer navigation, and touch terminals include a shortcut key bar one-finger swipes to scroll back through output, and long-press to paste.

See the development guide for instructions to reproduce these screenshots.

Choose your entry point

Entry point	Best for	What to install
Browser chat	Assign coding tasks, view streaming results, and manage multiple conversations	Users only need a browser; an administrator deploys the server first
Browser terminal	Use the original CLI, run commands, and install project dependencies	CLIs and common tools are included in the workspace image
abox-link local panel	Let cloud workspaces access private services reachable from your computer	Run `abox-link` on your computer
abox-link command line	Configure allowlists and port mappings on a headless machine	Use the same `abox-link` binary with `--server`
HTTP / WebSocket API	Integrate scripts, manage workspaces, and read usage records	Use the Bearer token obtained after login

abox-link is optional. You do not need to install it for regular browser use.

Each workspace has a container and a set of persistent directories. A workspace can have multiple chat threads, but only one Web chat turn runs at a time. Each user's shared directory is mounted at /shared in all of their workspaces.

The console supports page deep links, light and dark themes, and mobile access. On mobile, System settings and Git management use a submenu switcher at the top right; toolbars use icons, less frequent actions live under More, and long-pressing an icon shows its description. File previews keep a close control visible, and diff details provide a way back to the file list. Desktop layouts retain text actions and split navigation. Chat supports model and reasoning-effort selection; each response shows its time, model, settings snapshot, and recorded cost. See the workspace guide for full instructions.

Quick start

Install with one command (release packages)

Run on a Linux server:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/devilcoolyue/agentbox/main/install.sh | sudo bash

The current stable release is v0.1.8. The installer selects the latest stable release by default. Append -s -- --version v0.1.8 to pin this version.

On SELinux systems such as Oracle Linux / RHEL, if an older package fails to start with 203/EXEC / Permission denied, follow SELinux installation recovery to repair executable labels before retrying activation.

The installer supports Linux x86_64 / arm64 with systemd. On Ubuntu 22.04+ and Debian 12+, it installs missing dependencies and Docker automatically. Other distributions require Python 3.9+, Git, curl, CA certificates, timezone data, and a local Docker Engine to be installed first. The server uses prebuilt packages, so Go and Node are not required on the server.

The command verifies the release package, builds a workspace image with pinned versions, generates configuration and a random administrator password, and installs and starts agentbox.service. The first image build takes a few minutes and requires access to container registries, Debian package repositories, and npm. Once complete, open http://YOUR_SERVER_IP:8180, sign in as boxadmin with the initial password printed in the terminal, and add an account under System settings → Account pool (系统设置 → 账号池). For remote access, allow TCP 8180 through your firewall / security group. Configure HTTPS for ongoing public access.

Append -s -- --listen 127.0.0.1:8180 to restrict access to the local machine or a reverse proxy. Configuration and data are stored in /etc/agentbox and /var/lib/agentbox. If an existing deployment is detected, the installer stops and preserves its files. See the installation guide for upgrades, recovery, and all options.

The project is licensed under Apache-2.0. You are welcome to build, modify, and contribute. Use the prebuilt installer above to get started as a user, or read the contribution guide to work on the source.
