HolyCode: Docker Container for Persistent Claude AI Coding Environments

What HolyCode Does
HolyCode is a Docker container setup designed to solve the problem of losing coding momentum when switching machines or rebuilding development environments. Instead of repeatedly installing tools, fixing browser issues, and rewiring configurations, HolyCode provides a single Docker setup that keeps your working state intact.
Key Features for Claude Users
- Persistent context between sessions: Your state lives in
./data/opencode, so sessions, settings, and plugins survive container updates. - Preconfigured environment: 30+ tools are preinstalled and ready, eliminating setup time each time you start working.
- Working browser automation: In-container Chromium + xvfb + Playwright are already wired with stability defaults including
shm_size: 2g. - Claude-first workflow: Anthropic flow is supported with optional toggles for Claude subscription authentication and multi-agent mode.
- Production-tested: The creator runs this as a daily driver, with decisions based on fixing repeated pain in production-like use.
Quick Start Configuration
Create a docker-compose.yml file with:
services:
holycode:
image: coderluii/holycode:latest
restart: unless-stopped
shm_size: 2g
ports:
- "4096:4096"
volumes:
- ./data/opencode:/home/opencode
- ./workspace:/workspace
environment:
- PUID=1000
- PGID=1000
- ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your-key-hereThen run:
docker compose up -dOpen http://localhost:4096 to start building.
