Install

Three ways to run nohup. All of them serve the UI and API on a single port (default 8787).

docker compose up -d        # builds the image and runs it

Or build/run the image directly:

docker build -t nohup .
docker run -d --name nohup -p 8787:8787 \
  -v nohup-data:/data \
  -v "$PWD/workspaces:/workspaces" \
  -v "$HOME/.claude:/root/.claude:ro" \
  -v "$HOME/.codex:/root/.codex:ro" \
  nohup

The image bundles git and Node (so the ACP agents can run). Mount your ~/.claude / ~/.codex for the agents' login.

Self-contained binary​

cargo build --release embeds the web UI into the binary, so you get a single executable that runs anywhere — no separate dist/ needed.

# from a checkout (needs Rust + Node to build)
cd backend && cargo build --release
./target/release/backend            # serves the embedded UI on :8787

Copy target/release/backend (rename it nohup) to any machine that has the agents installed and logged in, plus git.

From source (development)​

# terminal 1 — backend (build.rs builds the UI too)
cd backend && cargo run

# or run the UI with hot reload in dev
cd frontend && npm install && npm run dev   # proxies /api to :8787

Next: install the Agents.
