A production-ready toolkit for deploying and managing opencode as a persistent cloud service, sandboxed inside a Docker container for isolation and security.
cargo install opencode-cloud
opencode-cloud --version- Sandboxed execution - opencode runs inside a Docker container, isolated from your host system
- Persistent environment - Your projects, settings, and shell history persist across restarts
- Cross-platform CLI (
opencode-cloud/occ) - Works on Linux and macOS - Service lifecycle commands - start, stop, restart, status, logs
- Platform service integration - systemd (Linux) / launchd (macOS) for auto-start on boot
- Remote host management - Manage opencode containers on remote servers via SSH
- Web-based admin - Cockpit integration for container administration
opencode-cloud runs opencode inside a Docker container, providing:
- Isolation - opencode and its AI-generated code run in a sandbox, separate from your host system
- Reproducibility - The container includes a full development environment (languages, tools, runtimes)
- Persistence - Docker volumes preserve your work across container restarts and updates
- Security - Network exposure is opt-in; by default, the service only binds to localhost
The CLI manages the container lifecycle, so you don't need to interact with Docker directly.
The sandbox container image is named opencode-cloud-sandbox (not opencode-cloud) to clearly distinguish it from the CLI tool. The CLI (opencode-cloud / occ) deploys and manages this sandbox container.
The image is published to both registries:
| Registry | Image |
|---|---|
| GitHub Container Registry | ghcr.io/prizz/opencode-cloud-sandbox |
| Docker Hub | prizz/opencode-cloud-sandbox |
Pull commands:
Docker Hub:
docker pull prizz/opencode-cloud-sandbox:latestGitHub Container Registry:
docker pull ghcr.io/prizz/opencode-cloud-sandbox:latestFor most users: Just use the CLI - it handles image pulling/building automatically:
occ start # Pulls or builds the image as needed- Rust 1.85+ - Install via rustup:
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh - Docker - For running the opencode container
cargo install opencode-cloud
occ --versiongit clone https://github.com/pRizz/opencode-cloud.git
cd opencode-cloud
cargo install --path packages/cli-rustgit clone https://github.com/pRizz/opencode-cloud.git

occ config showopencode-cloud uses PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) for authentication. Users created via occ user add can authenticate to both:
- opencode web UI - Access the coding interface
- Cockpit - System administration interface
Create a user with a password:
occ user add <username>Generate a random password:
occ user add <username> --generate- List users:
occ user list - Change password:
occ user passwd <username> - Remove user:
occ user remove <username> - Enable/disable account:
occ user enable <username>/occ user disable <username>
The auth_username and auth_password config fields are deprecated and ignored. They are kept in the config schema for backward compatibility with existing deployments, but new users should be created via occ user add instead.
To migrate from legacy fields:
- Create a PAM user:
occ user add <username> - The legacy fields will be automatically cleared on next config save
When developing locally or after updating opencode-cloud, you may need to rebuild the Docker image to pick up changes in the embedded Dockerfile:
# Rebuild using Docker cache (fast - only rebuilds changed layers)
occ start --cached-rebuild
# Rebuild from scratch without cache (slow - for troubleshooting)
occ start --full-rebuild--cached-rebuild (recommended for most cases):
- Uses Docker layer cache for fast rebuilds
- Only rebuilds layers that changed (e.g., if only the CMD changed, it's nearly instant)
- Stops and removes any existing container before rebuilding
--full-rebuild (for troubleshooting):
- Ignores Docker cache and rebuilds everything from scratch
- Takes 10-15 minutes but guarantees a completely fresh image
- Use when cached rebuild doesn't fix issues
When to rebuild:
- After pulling updates to opencode-cloud → use
--cached-rebuild - When modifying the Dockerfile during development → use
--cached-rebuild - When the container fails to start due to image issues → try
--cached-rebuildfirst, then--full-rebuild - When you want a completely fresh environment → use
--full-rebuild
Configuration is stored at:
- Linux/macOS:
~/.config/opencode-cloud/config.json
Data (PID files, etc.) is stored at:
- Linux/macOS:

This is a monorepo with:
packages/core- Rust core librarypackages/cli-rust- Rust CLI binary (recommended)packages/cli-node- Node.js CLI (deprecated, directs users to cargo install)
The packages/core/Cargo.toml file must use explicit values rather than workspace = true references.
When updating package metadata (version, edition, rust-version, etc.), keep both files in sync:
Cargo.toml(workspace root)packages/core/Cargo.toml
Use scripts/set-all-versions.sh <version> to update versions across all files automatically.
