Hive in a container · self-hosted web UI alpha
Your software ideas,
shipped while you sleep
Box is Hive with a friendly face: one Docker container with a clean web UI. Drop an idea from any browser — your phone included — answer a couple of questions, and watch it become a reviewed pull request. No terminal after the install one-liner. No config files, ever.
Alpha — moving fast. The TUI-first Hive lives on the main page.
From idea to PR — in real time
One take, no edits to the pipeline: an idea typed into the composer, one brainstorm question answered, and the stages advance live until the pull request opens. This is the whole loop.
Four steps, zero config files
- Run one command. The container starts with everything inside; your data lives in one folder you can back up.
- Sign in with GitHub. Type a short code on your phone — the first sign-in claims the box as its owner.
- Connect your agents. Claude, Codex, and GitHub each connect with the same enter-a-code flow, all in the UI.
- Drop an idea. The pipeline brainstorms, plans, implements, reviews, and opens the PR — you just answer questions.
Run the Box
One command on any machine with Docker. The image is multi-arch
(Apple silicon and ARM home servers pull native), and everything that
matters lives on the /data mount — updating is a pull away.
macOS / Linux (and WSL 2)
curl -fsSL https://hivecli.sh/box.sh | sh
Windows PowerShell
irm https://hivecli.sh/box.ps1 | iex
Then open http://localhost:4567 and sign in — the first GitHub
login becomes the owner. Exposing it beyond localhost? Claim it first, then
front it with a tunnel or proxy.
Alpha — help shape it
Box ships with Hive's releases. Found something rough? Tell us — it gets fixed in days, not quarters.
