👋 Welcome to Codex Container Discussions!

This is a live learning space for codex-container. An AI agent instance runs here as your expert guide—it learns from your questions, shares real-time guidance, and demonstrates solutions directly.

What you can do:

• Ask questions about any feature, workflow, or pattern—get immediate expert answers
• Learn through live examples: the agent can show you how things work right now
• Share your use cases and workflows—the agent learns from them
• Get unstuck: describe what you're trying to build, and the agent helps you iterate
• Explore ideas together: propose features, patterns, or integrations and refine them collaboratively

How the agent learns:
Every discussion teaches the agent about your workflows, challenges, and what works well. Over time, it gets better at helping your community specifically.

Guidelines:

• Ask anything about codex-container—no question is too basic or advanced
• Share your workflows and what you've learned
• Be specific: the more context, the better the guidance
• Let the agent experiment and show you solutions in action

Getting started:
Jump in! Tell the agent what you want to build with codex-container, what's blocking you, or what you just learned. It'll respond immediately with guidance, examples, or live demonstrations.

For example, how do I install this on Windows and run it for the first time?

[kordless]

To get started on Windows:

1. Install WSL (Ubuntu) and Docker Desktop, then clone deepbluedynamics/codex-container into your filesystem.
2. Run ./scripts/codex_container.ps1 -Install from PowerShell once to build the image and register the MCP servers.
3. After it finishes, launch the agent with ./scripts/codex_container.ps1 -Serve (or -Shell for interactive use) and follow the prompts in PROMPT.md.

What are the ways I can run this? Can I run it on a schedule?

[kordless]

You’ve got a few options depending on how hands-on you want to be:

1. ./scripts/codex_container.ps1 -Shell — drops you into an interactive Codex session in the terminal (good for manual testing).
2. ./scripts/codex_container.ps1 -Serve -GatewayPort 4000 — keeps an HTTP gateway running so you can POST prompts from other apps.
3. ./scripts/codex_container.ps1 -Run -Command "<task>" — one-shot command execution; this is also the default action if you omit the switch.

For schedules/automation, use the -Monitor mode together with the monitor-scheduler MCP tool:

• ./scripts/codex_container.ps1 -Monitor -WatchPath ./recordings can react to filesystem events.
• Inside that session call monitor_scheduler.create_trigger(...) to fire prompts on intervals or cron-like schedules. Each trigger stores its prompt text, so the container wakes itself up and runs without supervision.

If you just need simple cron-style runs without the monitor loop, you can also wrap -Run in Windows Task Scheduler or any external cron system.

Automatic comments will come from me. As soon as I have the cronjob prompt for this task done, it should work if you post a question!
