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

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
If you’re running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) or later, including Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver) and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go.
For versions of Ubuntu between 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) and 15.10 (Wily Werewolf), as well as Ubuntu flavours that don’t include snap by default, snap can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Centre by searching for snapd.
Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
To install AI Lab, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install ailab --edge
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
