OpenCode running in a container with everything already installed. 30+ dev tools, 10+ AI providers, headless browser, persistent state. Drop it on any machine and pick up exactly where you left off.
Works with your Claude subscription. Enable the Claude Auth plugin and use your existing Claude Max/Pro plan. No separate API key needed.
Multi-agent orchestration built in. Enable oh-my-openagent and turn OpenCode into a coordinated agent system with parallel execution.
You were going to spend an hour getting your environment back. Or you could just docker compose up.
Don't want to self-host? HolyCode Cloud is coming. Same tools, zero setup. Early access is free.
You know the drill. You get your dev environment exactly right. Then you switch machines. Or rebuild a container. Or your system decides today is the day it dies.
Suddenly you're reinstalling tools. Hunting down config files. Re-entering API keys. Wondering why ripgrep isn't on PATH anymore. Figuring out why Chromium won't launch because Docker gives containers 64MB of shared memory. Then Xvfb isn't configured. Then the UID inside the container doesn't match your host and everything is permission denied.
HolyCode is the container I built after solving every single one of those problems.
It wraps OpenCode, an AI coding agent with a built-in web UI. All your settings, sessions, MCP configs, plugins, and tool history live in a bind mount outside the container. Rebuild, update, or move to a new machine. Your state comes right back.
It's the same idea as HolyClaude but wrapping OpenCode instead of Claude Code. And here's the thing: OpenCode isn't locked to one provider. Point it at Anthropic, OpenAI, Google Gemini, Groq, AWS Bedrock, or Azure OpenAI. Same container, your choice of model.
30+ dev tools, two language runtimes, a headless browser stack, and process supervision. All wired up, all ready on first boot. I've been running this on my own server. Every bug has been hit, diagnosed, and fixed.
You pull it. You run it. You open your browser. You build.

Step 1. Pull the image.
docker pull coderluii/holycode:latestStep 2. Create a docker-compose.yaml.
services:
holycode:
image: coderluii/holycode:latest
container_name: holycode
restart: unless-stopped
shm_size: 2g
ports:
- "4096:4096"
volumes:
- ./data/opencode:/home/opencode
- ./workspace:/workspace
environment:
- PUID=1000
- PGID=1000
- ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your-key-hereStep 3. Start it.
docker compose up -dOpen http://localhost:4096. You're in.
The shipped
docker-compose.yamluses${ANTHROPIC_API_KEY}syntax which reads from your shell environment or a.envfile. Copy.env.exampleto.envand fill in your API key.
Don't want to self-host? We're building a managed version of HolyCode.
Same 30+ tools. Same 10+ providers. Same persistent state. No Docker. No terminal. Just open your browser and code.
What you get with Cloud:
- Zero setup. No Docker, no config files, no terminal commands.
- Works on any device. Laptop, tablet, phone. Open a browser and go.
- Always updated. Latest OpenCode, latest tools. We handle it.
- Your state follows you. Sessions, settings, MCP configs saved between uses.
Early access is free. No credit card required.

| macOS (Docker Desktop) | amd64 / arm64 | Supported |
| Windows (WSL2) | amd64 | Supported |
I built this because I was tired of re-doing the same setup every time. Installing OpenCode, wiring up a headless browser, fixing permission issues, debugging process supervision. Every. Time.
So I made a container that does all of it. And then I hit every possible bug so you don't have to.
| HolyCode | DIY | |
|---|---|---|
| Time to first working session | Under 2 minutes | 30-60 minutes |
| Chromium + Xvfb headless browser | Pre-configured | Research, install, debug yourself |
| Dev tool suite (ripgrep, fzf, lazygit, etc.) | Pre-installed | Hunt down and install one by one |
| State persistence across rebuilds | Automatic via bind mount | Manual bind mounts, easy to misconfigure |
| UID/GID file permission remapping | Built-in PUID/PGID | Dockerfile chmod hacks |
| Multi-arch support | amd64 + arm64 out of the box | Build and push both yourself |
| Updates | docker pull + compose up |
Rebuild from scratch, hope nothing breaks |
OpenCode is provider-agnostic. Set whichever API key you use and you're done.

You only need to set keys for providers you actually use. Everything else is optional and ignored.
Vertex AI, GitHub Models, and Ollama are configured through OpenCode's provider system. Run opencode providers login inside the container.
The minimal setup. Copy, fill in your key, run.

Browser stack
| Component | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Chromium | Headless browser engine |
| Xvfb | Virtual framebuffer display server |
| Playwright | Browser automation framework |
The browser stack runs headless out of the box. No display server, no GPU, no extra config needed. Playwright and Puppeteer scripts work as expected.
Includes Liberation, DejaVu, Noto, and Noto Color Emoji fonts for correct page rendering and screenshots.
Process management
| Component | Purpose |
|---|---|
| s6-overlay v3 | Process supervisor and init system |
| Custom entrypoint | UID/GID remapping, git setup, bootstrap |
s6-overlay supervises OpenCode and Xvfb. If a process crashes, it restarts automatically. Container restart policies stay clean because the supervisor handles it internally.

The entrypoint handles user remapping, plugin toggles, and first-boot setup. s6-overlay supervises both Xvfb (headless display) and the OpenCode web server. If either crashes, s6 restarts it automatically. Access the web UI at port 4096 or exec into the container for the full CLI experience.
The web UI at port 4096 is the primary interface. But you can also use OpenCode directly from the command line inside the container.
docker exec -it holycode bash
opencodeThis opens OpenCode's full terminal UI with all the same features as the web version.
Run a single prompt without entering the TUI:
docker exec -it holycode bash -c "opencode run 'explain this codebase'"Connect a local TUI session to the already-running OpenCode web server:
docker exec -it holycode bash -c "opencode attach http://localhost:4096"This shares the same session as the web UI. Changes in one appear in the other.
List and configure AI providers from inside the container:
docker exec -it holycode bash -c "opencode providers list"
docker exec -it holycode bash -c "opencode providers login"| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
opencode |
Launch the TUI |
opencode run 'message' |
One-shot prompt |
opencode attach <url> |
Attach TUI to running server |
opencode web --port 4096 |
Start web server (already running via s6) |
opencode serve |
Headless API server |
opencode providers list |
Show configured providers |
opencode providers login |
Add or switch provider |
opencode models |
List available models |
opencode models <provider> |
List models for a specific provider |
opencode stats |
Show token usage and costs |

opencode plugin <module> |

opencode upgrade |
Upgrade OpenCode (disabled by default in container) |
All OpenCode state lives in a single bind mount at ./data/opencode. The container is stateless. The bind mount holds everything that matters.
| Host Path | Container Path | What's in it |
|---|---|---|
./data/opencode/.config/opencode |
/home/opencode/.config/opencode |
Settings, agents, MCP configs, themes, plugins |
./data/opencode/.local/share/opencode |
/home/opencode/.local/share/opencode |
SQLite sessions database, MCP OAuth tokens |
./data/opencode/.local/state/opencode |
/home/opencode/.local/state/opencode |
Frecency data, model cache, key-value store |
./data/opencode/.cache/opencode |
/home/opencode/.cache/opencode |
Plugin node_modules, auto-installed dependencies |
Rebuild the container anytime. Run docker compose pull && docker compose up -d and your sessions, settings, and configs come back automatically.
SQLite WAL note. The sessions database uses Write-Ahead Logging. Don't copy the .db file while the container is running. Stop the container first if you need to back up or migrate the database file.
HolyCode uses PUID and PGID to remap the internal container user to match your host user. This means files written to ./workspace are owned by you, not by root.
Find your IDs on Linux and macOS:
id -u # PUID
id -g # PGIDOn most systems this is 1000:1000. On macOS it's often 501:20. Set them in your compose file:
environment:
- PUID=501
- PGID=20If you skip this, files in your workspace may be owned by root and you'll need sudo to edit them from the host.
Pull the latest image and recreate the container. Your data stays untouched.
docker compose pull
docker compose up -dThat's it. One command. Your sessions, settings, and configs are in the bind mount so nothing is lost.
Chromium crashes or browser automation fails
The most common cause is not enough shared memory. Chromium needs at least 1-2 GB of /dev/shm to run reliably.
Make sure your compose file has shm_size: 2g:
services:
holycode:
shm_size: 2gWithout this, Chromium will crash silently or produce broken screenshots.
Permission denied on workspace files
Your PUID and PGID don't match your host user. Find your IDs:
id -u && id -gUpdate your compose environment section to match:
environment:
- PUID=1001 # replace with your actual UID
- PGID=1001 # replace with your actual GIDThen recreate the container: docker compose up -d --force-recreate
Port 4096 already in use
Something else on your machine is using port 4096. Remap to a different host port:
ports:
- "4097:4096" # access via http://localhost:4097Or find and stop the conflicting process:
# Linux / macOS
lsof -i :4096
# Windows
netstat -ano | findstr :4096Container starts but web UI never loads
Check the container logs:
docker compose logs -f holycodeOpenCode takes a few seconds to initialize. Give it 10-15 seconds after docker compose up -d before opening the browser. If it's still not up, the logs will tell you why.
Why doesn't HolyCode need SYS_ADMIN or seccomp=unconfined?
Chromium runs with --no-sandbox inside the container, which is standard for containerized browser setups. This eliminates the need for SYS_ADMIN capabilities or seccomp=unconfined that some other Docker browser setups require. The container itself provides the isolation boundary.
If you prefer to use Chromium's built-in sandbox instead, add the following to your compose file and remove --no-sandbox from the CHROMIUM_FLAGS environment variable:
cap_add:
- SYS_ADMIN
security_opt:
- seccomp=unconfinedClone the repo, build the image, swap it into your compose file.
git clone https://github.com/coderluii/holycode.git
cd holycode
docker build -t holycode:local .Then in your docker-compose.yaml swap the image:
image: holycode:local- Fork the repo
- Create a branch:
git checkout -b feature/your-feature - Commit your changes:
git commit -m "feat: your feature" - Push:
git push origin feature/your-feature - Open a pull request
