## What it is
A self-hosted remote shell exposed over a REST API, designed to give AI agents and automation tools a dedicated environment to run commands, manage files, and execute code. It can run sandboxed in Docker with preinstalled tooling or bare metal via pip for full host access.

## Use cases
- give ai agents a sandbox to run code
- remote shell api for automation
- execute commands from an llm agent safely
- self-hosted terminal accessible over http
- run python and node scripts for ai assistants
- sandboxed environment for agentic workflows

## When to choose
- you need a safe, isolated execution environment for AI agents
- you want to expose shell and file operations through a simple REST API
- you want Docker image variants from minimal to fully loaded with dev tooling

## When to avoid
- you only need local shell access with no API
- you cannot host a server or container
- you need multi-user production shell access beyond its auth model
