AI Lab creates lightweight LXD containers pre-wired to use AI services running on your host (lemonade-server, ollama). Each container shares your home directory, keeping installed software isolated from the rest of your system.
Use the CLI to create and manage sandboxes:
ailab new mybox --install openclaw ailab run mybox ailab list
Or use the web management interface — a browser-based dashboard with live progress, an in-browser terminal, and log tailing. It runs as a background daemon and is accessible at http://127.0.0.1:11500 by default.
Configure the host and port:
snap set ailab web.host=0.0.0.0 snap set ailab web.port=11500
Connect to an AI Lab Cloud hub for remote access:
snap set ailab cloud.host=https://cloud.example.com snap set ailab cloud.token=<token from hub dashboard> snap set ailab cloud.user=<your GitHub username> snap set ailab cloud.device-id=<device name shown in dashboard> snap set ailab cloud.ports=11500,18789
