Getting Started

The installation guide is the complete procedure. The image supplies Claude Code, Git, shell tools and tmux; you supply a Docker host and your own authorized account. No provider account or personal configuration is bundled.

Step Canonical guide
Requirements and host/architecture limits Requirements
Clone main and build all COPY inputs Full build context
First-run authentication and a minimal session First session
Safe stop/down and persistence State safety
Portainer's endpoint-local image/full context Portainer
Rebuilding and updating Maintenance

Work in /workspace as dev; the entire /home/dev persists user-local Claude and MCP state. A container recreation ends running processes and tmux even when the files survive. Never use down -v for a routine update.

claude --version proves executable availability. A consenting account holder must complete the supported login flow and a real task before declaring authentication accepted. Headless MCP callbacks are covered separately in Remote Operation.
