Introduction

AI Dev Server (ai-dev) is an immutable Ubuntu 24.04 terminal development environment for linux/amd64 and linux/arm64.

It ships as a Docker image with:

  • Docker CLI, Compose, and Buildx (via the host Docker socket)
  • Language toolchains (Node.js, pnpm, Bun, Python/uv, Go, Rust, OpenJDK, and more)
  • AI coding tools: Claude Code, Codex CLI, Oh My ClaudeCode (OMC), Oh My Codex (OMX), and SaladDay cc-switch-cli
  • Terminal essentials such as Zsh, tmux, Git, and GitHub CLI

Projects, credentials, tool state, logs, models, and backups live in named volumes, not in the image.

What it is not

  • Not a browser-based product UI or web-terminal product surface
  • Not an in-container SSH service
  • Not a multi-tenant SaaS

Compose does not publish an application HTTP port. You enter with scripts/shell or scripts/tmux.

Security first

The Compose service mounts /var/run/docker.sock read-write. Access to the raw Docker socket is effectively host-root access. Use this only on a trusted, single-user server with trusted repositories and tools. Read Security before starting.

Default image

docker.io/jerry0510/ai-dev:latest

Override with AI_DEV_IMAGE when you need a pinned tag, mirror, or local build.
