openagent

Vision

What if you could:

Hand off entire dev cycles. Point an agent at a GitHub issue, let it write code, test by launching desktop applicatons, and open a PR when tests pass. You review the diff, not the process.

Run multi-day operations unattended. Give an agent SSH access to your home GPU through a VPN. It reads Nvidia docs, sets up training, fine-tunes models while you sleep.

Keep sensitive data local. Analyze your sequenced DNA against scientific literature. Local inference, isolated containers, nothing leaves your machines.

Features

• Dual Runtime Support: Run Claude Code or OpenCode agents in the same infrastructure
• Mission Control: Start, stop, and monitor agents remotely with real-time streaming
• Isolated Workspaces: Containerized Linux environments (systemd-nspawn) with per-mission directories
• Git-backed Library: Skills, tools, rules, agents, and MCPs versioned in a single repo
• MCP Registry (optional): Extra tool servers (desktop/playwright/etc.) when needed
• Multi-platform: Web dashboard (Next.js) and iOS app (SwiftUI) with Picture-in-Picture

Ecosystem

Open Agent orchestrates multiple AI coding agent runtimes:

• Claude Code: Anthropic's official coding agent with native skills support (.claude/skills/)
• OpenCode: Open-source alternative via oh-my-opencode
• Amp: Sourcegraph's frontier coding agent with multi-model support

Each runtime executes inside isolated workspaces, so bash commands and file operations are scoped correctly. Open Agent handles orchestration, workspace isolation, and Library-based configuration management.

Getting Started

Choose your installation method

| | Docker (recommended) | Native (bare metal) | | ------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- | | Best for | Getting started, macOS users, quick deployment | Production servers, maximum performance | | Platform | Any OS with Docker | Ubuntu 24.04 LTS | | Setup time | ~5 minutes | ~30 minutes | | Container workspaces | Yes (with privileged: true) | Yes (native systemd-nspawn) | | Desktop automation | Yes (headless Xvfb inside Docker) | Yes (native X11 or Xvfb) | | Performance | Good (slight overhead on macOS) | Best (native Linux) | | Updates | docker compose pull / rebuild | Git pull + cargo build, or one-click from dashboard |

Docker (recommended for most users)

git clone https://github.com/Th0rgal/openagent.git
cd openagent
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your settings
docker compose up -d

Open http://localhost:3000 — that's it.

For container workspace isolation (recommended), uncomment privileged: true in docker-compose.yml.

Native (bare metal)

For production servers running Ubuntu 24.04 with maximum performance and native systemd-nspawn isolation.

AI-assisted setup

Point your coding agent at the installation guide and let it handle the deployment:

"Deploy Open Agent on my server at 1.2.3.4 with domain agent.example.com"
