How to connect the Cloudroom desktop app to your core with Cloudroom Core

Point the Mac desktop app at your own core using a URL and token, with no account.

Credentials. The desktop app needs the core's secret token, so keep the token private and do not paste it into shared notes.

Who it is forA Mac user who runs the core on a Linux machine and wants the desktop app to control agents there.

The problemThe desktop app runs agents on the Mac by default, but the user wants the work to run on a server they own.

The outcomeThe desktop app shows agents running on your own core, connected by URL and token.

What you need first

  • A Linux machine, such as a VPS, home server, or spare laptop, running Ubuntu 24.04 for the one-script install
  • Your own logins for the agent CLIs you want to run, since agents use your own logins to call their models
  • Git, and Rust 1.89 or newer if you build from source
  • Optional: a Tailscale account to reach the core from other devices

Steps

  1. Install the core on your Linux machine by following the [install guide](docs/setup.md).
  2. Reach the core from your Mac using [Tailscale](docs/setup.md#reach-it-from-your-other-devices).
  3. Download the [Cloudroom app](https://github.com/davidondrej/cloudroom-gui/releases) for Apple Silicon Macs.
  4. Follow [connect the desktop app](docs/setup.md#connect-the-desktop-app) and enter the core URL and token.
  5. Start one agent from the app and confirm it runs on the core machine.

Prompt for your agent

Using the cloudroom-core setup guide in docs/setup.md, connect the Cloudroom desktop app on <mac-host> to the core at <core-url> with the token <token>. Expected output: the app lists the core as connected. Verify that an agent started from the app appears in the core's saved history.

Caveat. The README lists the desktop app as available for Apple Silicon Macs, with Linux in alpha, so check the release page for your platform first.
