## Documentation

# Deploy and Host

Digital Twin AI is a browser-based VS Code development environment with Claude Code CLI pre-installed. It gives you a full
cloud IDE accessible from any device, with AI-assisted coding powered by Anthropic's Claude ready out of the box. Deploy in
60 seconds and start coding with AI anywhere.

## About Hosting Digital Twin AI

Hosting Digital Twin AI involves deploying a Docker container running code-server (VS Code in the browser) with Claude Code
CLI baked in. The template handles user setup, persistent storage for extensions and projects, and secure non-root execution
automatically. A Railway volume mounted at /home/digital-twin ensures your workspace, installed tools, API keys, and VS
Code extensions survive redeploys. The only required configuration is setting a login password — everything else works with
sensible defaults. The entrypoint script manages user permissions, shell profiles, and environment verification on each
startup.

## Common Use Cases

- Remote AI-Assisted Development – Code from any browser with Claude Code CLI handling complex tasks, refactoring, and debugging
- Disposable Dev Environments – Spin up fresh cloud IDEs for client projects, experiments, or temporary workspaces without
  touching your local machine
- Mobile Development on the Go – Access a full VS Code + AI coding environment from a tablet, phone, or any device with a
  browser

## Dependencies for Digital Twin AI Hosting

- Anthropic API Key – Required for Claude Code CLI authentication (set up on first use inside the terminal)
- Railway Volume – Mount at /home/digital-twin (5GB+ recommended) for persistent storage across redeploys

### Deployment Dependencies

- code-server – VS Code in the browser
- Claude Code CLI – AI coding assistant by Anthropic
- Node.js 22 – Runtime for Claude Code CLI
