kasmweb/claude-code repository overview

Kasm Workspaces is a docker container streaming platform for delivering browser-based access to desktops, applications, and web services.

⁠Live Demo

Launch a real-time demo in a new browser window: Live Demo⁠.

∗Note: Demo is limited to 3 minutes and has upload/downloads restricted for security purposes.

⁠Get Started

Try out our no-cost Community Edition: Download⁠.

Our Kasm Workspaces team has open-sourced our library of images (Info⁠ & Source Code⁠).

The web-native rendering is powered by our open-source project: KasmVNC⁠.

⁠About This Image

This Image contains a browser-accessible Ubuntu Jammy Desktop with Claude Code CLI, Anthropic's command-line interface for interacting with Claude AI models directly from your terminal.

⁠Environment Variables

⁠Claude Code CLI Configuration

• ANTHROPIC_API_KEY - Your Anthropic API key (starts with sk-ant-). This is required for Claude Code CLI to authenticate with the Anthropic API. If you don't want to use an API key, you can use browser login flow to login to your Anthropic account.

You can pass this environment variable to your Claude Code Workspace with Docker Run Config Override (JSON) in your Workspace settings.

Alternatively, you can use the Launch Form to input your API key when starting the workspace. The Launch Form allows you to:

• Enable API key authentication
• Input your Anthropic API key securely
• Save your preferences for future launches

The workspace will automatically configure Claude Code CLI to use your API key, bypassing the browser login flow.

⁠Stand-alone Deployment

This image was designed to run natively within Kasm Workspaces, but it can also be deployed stand-alone and accessed through a web browser.

sudo docker run --rm -it --shm-size=512m -p 6901:6901 -e VNC_PW=password kasmweb/claude-code:1.18.0

The container is now accessible via a browser : https://IP_OF_SERVER:6901
