Batteries-included development environment for agentic workflows.
As tools like Claude Code, OpenCode and Codex gain agency, they need full filesystem access to be effective. Running them locally carries risk (rm -rf accidents, credential leaks) and friction (installing complex runtimes).
EnvHaven solves this. It's a remote environment that spins up in seconds, with sane defaults and every major AI coding tool and built-in, fully isolated from your personal machine.
Workflow Freedom:
- Browser-only — Deploy the image, open VS Code in your browser, run
opencode. Zero setup. - Local editor + remote AI — Use the Haven CLI to sync your project. Edit in Neovim, Zed, Jetbrains, et al. while agents run in the container. Changes sync in ~200ms.
🛡️ Zero-Risk AI environment Give autonomous agents full access in a containerized environment. If they break something, nuke the workspace and start over. Your local machine stays untouched.
🖥️ Pick Up Where You Left Off Start Claude Code on your laptop, close the lid, resume from your desktop—same session, same state. Your AI agents and dev servers keep running while you're away. Come back from any device.
🌲 Evergreen AI Tooling The landscape moves too fast to manage manually. EnvHaven ships with 12+ AI CLI tools (Claude Code, OpenCode, Aider, Codex, Gemini CLI, Goose, Mistral Vibe, etc.) built-in and ready to run.
🌐 Instant Public URLs (Managed only)
Every managed workspace gets a wildcard *.envhaven.app domain. Deploy a web app, webhook receiver, or Discord bot—live instantly. No ngrok, no tunnels, no DNS.
💾 Persistent & Owned Unlike ephemeral environments (Codespaces) or walled gardens (Replit), EnvHaven workspaces are persistent Linux environments you own.
⚡ Open Model
- Self-Hosted: Free forever, open-source Docker image and CLI. Run it on your own server.
- Managed ($10/mo): Zero-config hosting with custom domains, always-on workspaces, and no DevOps.
| Persona | Use Case |
|---|---|
| Vibe Coders | That ship by prompting their way to products. Need a "magic box" where code just runs, already fully setup. |
| AI-Native Devs | Power users of agentic coding tools like Claude Code or OpenCode that want a standardized, pre-configured backend for their agents. |
| Setup Purists | Developers married to their beautifully tuned and customized editor. Use Haven CLI to keep your workflow while agents run wild in a contained environment. |
| Bot Builders | Those who vibe-code 24/7 persistent scripts (Discord, Telegram or even trading bots). |
Deploy the image and code immediately in the browser.

Multiple AI tools at once? Click + in the footer or use the sidebar to create new terminals. Each runs in its own persistent session—close your browser and they keep running.
Use your local editor. Files sync bidirectionally. Agents run in the container.
1. Install Haven CLI
curl -fsSL https://envhaven.com/install.sh | sh2. Connect to your workspace
cd my-project
# Managed workspace (shorthand)
haven connect . myproject-alice
# Self-hosted container
haven connect . abc@your-server.com:2222Files sync in ~200ms.
3. Run remote commands
haven opencode # Runs OpenCode in the container
haven make build # Runs make in the container
haven npm install # Runs npm in the containerSelf-hosted? You'll need to configure SSH keys first. See SSH Access.
The image (ghcr.io/envhaven/envhaven) comes batteries-included.
No API keys are pre-set. You can set them directly in the UI via the bundled EnvHaven Extension in code-server.
You can also provide your own keys via env vars (-e ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=...) or config files.

- Core:
zsh,git,curl,wget,zip,unzip - Utils:
ripgrep,fd,jq,sqlite3,htop - Media:

The CLI enables a hybrid workflow: Local Editor + Remote Compute.
- Latency: ~200ms bidirectional sync.
- Compatibility: Works with any editor.
- Independence: The sync daemon runs in the background; close the CLI and sync continues.

Why this matters:
- AI agents need contained compute: They require massive context windows, long-running processes, specific toolchains, and might do dangerous stuff some time.
- You need your editor: You rely on your custom keybindings, themes, and muscle memory.
- Flexibility: Both workflows work independently or together.
For persistent deployments, use docker-compose.yml with .env:
cp .env.example .env # Copy and edit with your passwords/API keys
docker compose up -dOr use inline environment variables for quick testing:
services:
envhaven:
image: ghcr.io/envhaven/envhaven:latest
container_name: envhaven
environment:
- PUID=1000
- PGID=1000
- TZ=Etc/UTC
- PASSWORD=password # Web UI password
- SUDO_PASSWORD=password # sudo/SSH password
volumes:
- ./config:/config # Persist home directory
ports:
- 8443:8443 # Web UI
- 2222:22 # SSH Access
restart: unless-stoppedSee Configuration Reference for all options including AI API keys and SSH setup.
SSH enables the Haven CLI and direct terminal access.
| Setup | SSH Host | Haven CLI |
|---|---|---|
| Managed | ssh-{subdomain}.envhaven.app |
haven connect . myproject-alice |
| Self-hosted | your-server:2222 |
haven connect . abc@your-server:2222 |
Self-hosted setup: Import your GitHub keys automatically:
environment:
- PUBLIC_KEY_URL=https://github.com/yourusername.keys
ports:
- "2222:22"See Configuration Reference for all SSH options.
