Boot the whole Community Edition locally with one command (Docker required):

npx --yes @agentsdanceai/dsh-cloud start

Put your model upstream key into ./dsh-cloud/.env (UPSTREAM_API_KEY=), run
the same command again, and open http://localhost:8787. No Node? uvx dsh-cloud start does the same from PyPI. Details: Quick start.

Use AI Store Hosted

AI Store Hosted is the managed
subscription service: no server installation, with model access, workspace
capacity, upgrades, monitoring, backups, and account support. Current plans are
paid once for the selected monthly or annual term and do not renew automatically.

New accounts start with 500 free credits, and the hosted gateway serves
20 models with no upstream key of your own.

Run the workspaces on your own machine

Keep the hosted account, gateway and billing—move the containers to your own
5090 box or Mac. A workspace that runs on your hardware costs you no machine
hours; model calls still go through the hosted gateway and are still billed in
credits.

python3 scripts/local/aistore-local.py login      # authorise this machine once
python3 scripts/local/aistore-local.py run codex  # pull, start, open localhost:8080

Our servers never dial into your machine. No tunnel, no public IP, no
inbound port. The runner authorises with a revocable device token (the same
RFC 8628 flow the desktop client uses); the agent inside the container calls
aistore.best/llm/* with it, so usage lands on your account exactly as it does
in the cloud.

Not every slot runs locally yet: aistore-local.py list prints the ones that do.
Multi-container stacks run too (Dify is ten containers, Hermes three): the main
container owns the network namespace and the rest join it with --network container:, matching the pod semantics used in the cloud — so the upstream
configs that hard-code 127.0.0.1 hold as written. The four digital-human slots
stay hosted-only because they drive our GPU nodes.

That list and the start-up orchestration both come from the server
(/api/local/catalog, /api/local/plan/<slot>), so a new image tag or a new
slot needs no change here — the script is only an executor. The plan carries no
credentials: wherever a token belongs there is a placeholder, filled in locally
with the one on your machine.

Three things worth knowing before you start:

• The images are large. Measured: 0.6–1.9 GB per slot (the one Codex and
  Claude Code share is 1.17 GB, OpenManus is 1.93 GB); the Dify stack is about
  6 GB across its ten containers. They are pulled on demand and cached, but
  trying every slot costs twenty-odd GB. docker system df shows the usage,
  docker image prune reclaims what is unused.

• The workspace images are linux/amd64 only. An x86 box (the 5090 case)
  runs them natively. On Apple Silicon docker pull fails outright (no matching manifest for linux/arm64/v8) — not "a bit slower": the runner falls
  back to --platform linux/amd64 on its own and tells you it is emulating.
  Docker Desktop needs Rosetta / multi-arch support switched on.

• Every image is public (since 2026-09-10): the exact tag each slot
  references can be pulled anonymously, no ghcr login needed. A contract test
  pins this, so a new slot whose image was left private turns CI red.

Self-host Community Edition

Run the source-available Community Edition with your own domain, database, identity
providers, model upstream, storage, and operational controls. Docker Compose is
the canonical persistent path; Docker, npm/npx, and uv/uvx use the same versioned
stack contract.

The sixteen products

Every slot opens in the browser on the same account, the same credit balance
and the same server-side gateway — no per-product signup, no API keys of your
own. Fourteen of them open as their own workspace container at
/work?product_id=<id>; the four digital-human slots live on the main site
instead, because they share GPU nodes rather than running a container per user.

The table is generated from the same catalog the product grid reads
(server/app/apps_catalog.py plus the apps.*
strings), so it cannot drift from what the site actually offers.

What is included

Self-hosters remain responsible for infrastructure, provider agreements, model
costs, TLS, identity/email delivery, payment configuration, data protection,
backups, monitoring, and applicable law.

20 models, one gateway

New accounts start with 500 free credits — every model above works out of the
box. No card, no API keys, no per-provider signups. Try them on
AI Store Hosted, or pipe them into a stock
DeepSeek Harness install with one command:

npx --yes dsh-plugin-cloud setup

The gateway serves the live catalog, so this table is contract-tested against
server/config/models.json.

Knowledge bases, same gateway

The gateway also speaks POST /v1/embeddings — the OpenAI surface Coze, Dify
and RAGFlow expect for their knowledge bases. Vectors are billed on input
tokens only, out of the same credit balance as chat.

Quick start

All commands below pin release 0.4.0; pin exact versions in automation.

One command — npm/npx

One-shot:

npx --yes @agentsdanceai/[email protected] start --mode trial --wait

Installed:

npm install --global @agentsdanceai/[email protected]
dsh-cloud start --mode trial --wait

This asks nothing. It writes ./dsh-cloud/.env, starts the stack, and prints
where to sign in — the site is up in about a minute. Desktop downloads and the
cloud workspace point at the hosted service, so a trial deployment needs no
model key of its own.

To run models on this machine instead, put your OpenAI-compatible endpoint and
key into UPSTREAM_API_KEY in that .env and run the same command again.
--mode selfhost is the one that asks questions: a public deployment cannot
register its first account without SMTP or OAuth, so the CLI collects that
before it will start.

One command — uv/uvx

One-shot:

uvx dsh-cloud==0.4.0 start --mode trial --wait

Installed:

uv tool install dsh-cloud==0.4.0
dsh-cloud start --mode trial --wait

For explicit lifecycle control, both CLIs also provide init, doctor, and
up. Pin immutable versions in automation and review generated configuration
before starting it.

From source — Docker Compose

git clone https://github.com/AgentsDanceAI/AIStore.git && cd AIStore
bash scripts/quickstart.sh --domain localhost --admin-email [email protected]

The script writes deploy/selfhost/.env with a generated AUTH_SECRET, asks
for your model upstream, starts the stack, and waits for readiness — then open
http://localhost:8787. Development mode prints sign-in codes to server logs;
never use it on a public network. Manual Compose steps: docs/deploy.md.

Single container — prebuilt image

(umask 077; mkdir -p .dsh-cloud; printf 'AUTH_SECRET=%s\nDHC_DEV=1\nPUBLIC_BASE=http://127.0.0.1:8081\n' "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" > .dsh-cloud/docker.env)
docker run --rm --name dsh-cloud --env-file .dsh-cloud/docker.env --publish 127.0.0.1:8081:8100 --mount type=volume,src=dsh-cloud-data,dst=/app/data ghcr.io/agentsdanceai/dsh-cloud-server:0.4.0

Check http://127.0.0.1:8081/readyz, then add your upstream key to
.dsh-cloud/docker.env before model calls. No TLS in this mode — keep the
loopback bind. Building the image from source: docs/deploy.md.

The full deployment guide covers configuration, the versioned GHCR path,
backups, upgrades, rollback, scaling, and troubleshooting:

The gateway authenticates and authorizes the caller, validates a configured
model ID, replaces the client credential with the operator's upstream credential,
streams the response, and records normalized usage. See the
architecture document for flows and trust boundaries.

Security posture

Workspaces execute user-controlled code. They are off by default. A container and
Docker socket proxy are not automatically a hostile multi-tenant security
boundary; public operators must review image trust, Docker authority, networks,
mounts, privileges, egress, previews, credentials, and resource isolation before
enabling them. See docs/security.md.

Report vulnerabilities privately through the
GitHub security advisory form
or [email protected]. Do not open a public vulnerability issue or include
live credentials and user data. See SECURITY.md.

Development

Python 3.11+, uv, and Node.js 22 are the tested contributor toolchain:

uv sync --project server --all-extras --locked
uv run --project server pytest server/tests -q
uv run --project server ruff check server/app server/tests server/scripts
node --test server/tests/js/*.test.mjs

Run the server locally:

DHC_DEV=1 AUTH_SECRET=local-development-secret \
  uv run --project server uvicorn app.main:app --app-dir server --reload

CLI source checks, once the package directories are present in the candidate
tree:

node packages/cli-npm/bin/dsh-cloud.mjs --help
node packages/cli-npm/bin/dsh-cloud.mjs start --dry-run --json
uv run --project packages/cli-python dsh-cloud --help
uv run --project packages/cli-python dsh-cloud start --dry-run --json
