open-terminal is an open-source dev tools project by open-webui (open-webui/open-terminal on GitHub). It has 3,282 GitHub stars and 291 forks, is released under the MIT license, and was last updated on GitHub on 23 September 2026.
Decide the first concrete outcome you want from it, so you can pick the right example, template or mode instead of exploring everything at once.
Clone the repository (or install the published package) and skim its README quick start for the requirements for your platform.
Run the documented install step and set any required configuration — such as provider keys, data sources or local services — before the first run.
Execute the smallest documented example end to end, confirm the output is what you expected, then adapt it to your real data or workflow.
A full computer exposed over HTTP for Open WebUI and other agent clients.
Isolated container with Python, Node.js, git, build tools, data-science libraries and ffmpeg pre-installed.
pip/uvx install runs commands directly on your machine for local development and personal automation.
Add system, pip and npm packages via environment variables at container start.
Direct or system-level (multi-user) connection to Open WebUI, with a built-in multi-user mode.
Access is gated by OPEN_TERMINAL_API_KEY, with file-browser root and external workspace storage options.
Get the source so you can inspect, configure and run it locally.
git clone https://github.com/open-webui/open-terminal.git
cd open-terminalStart the sandbox with your API key and a persistent volume.
docker run -d --name open-terminal --restart unless-stopped -p 8000:8000 -v open-terminal:/home/user -e OPEN_TERMINAL_API_KEY=your-secret-key ghcr.io/open-webui/open-terminal # see README for the exact image invocationNo install needed — run it directly on your machine.
uvx open-terminal run --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000 --api-key your-secret-key
# or: pip install open-terminalIt is maintained by open-webui on GitHub (open-webui/open-terminal), where the source, issues and releases live.
Yes — it is free and open source under the MIT licence, which permits use, modification and redistribution, including commercially, with attribution.
No LLM key is needed by Open Terminal itself; it serves whichever agent client (such as Open WebUI) you connect.
Compared with ad-hoc SSH access or a plain code-interpreter sandbox, open-terminal's distinguishing focus is: open Terminal — a computer you can curl: a sandboxed terminal API for AI agents, from Open WebUI. Pick it when that focus matches your need; the alternative may suit you better if its broader or different scope is the priority.
Clone https://github.com/open-webui/open-terminal (or install its published package), follow the README quick start to install and configure it, then run the smallest documented example — the Run section on this page mirrors those steps.
