From setup
to running app.
Choose your machine, connect to a workspace, and deploy from your project.
-
Run locally or remotely
Use a supported Linux machine at your desk or a remote server you control.
-
Connect to your workspace
Open it over SSH or VS Code Remote. Your files and development tools stay on the node.
-
Deploy your app
Build from your project’s Git source and run the app independently of your workspace.
An isolated space
for your agents.
Let agents run commands, install tools and test code inside their own virtual machine. Your laptop’s files stay outside the workspace.

Before you start.
Free to self-host on Linux. Here’s what to know before trying it.
What hardware do I need?
An x86_64 or ARM64 machine running an Ubuntu- or Debian-based Linux distribution, with KVM virtualization. See the hardware requirements in the docs.
Do I need a Git repository?
No. Generic Git is the foundation, so your repository can live on any compatible Git host. You can also create a project without a source and start in an empty workspace.
Can my coding agent work there?
A workspace is a persistent development machine you can access over SSH. You can run compatible agent CLIs on it, subject to their own credentials and requirements. Readylab also provides constrained MCP tools for project operations.
Does my app stop with my workspace?
No. They run in separate, isolated environments configured for different jobs: a virtual development machine for you and your agents, and a lightweight runtime for the app. Stopping the workspace leaves the deployment running. Both need your server to stay on.
Can I use Readylab locally?
Yes. Install Readylab on your Linux computer and run workspaces and apps there, or self-host it remotely and connect from your computer. The machine running Readylab needs to stay on for your agents and apps to keep running.
What does Readylab cost?
Readylab is free to self-host. You cover your hardware, electricity and any external services.
