Hey everyone,
Just wanted to share a small side project for those who’ve been wanting deeper AI-assisted development directly on their Umbrel box.
An unofficial Claude Code app for Umbrel is now available here:
GitHub: https://github.com/Krigsexe/claude-umbrel
What is this?
Claude Code is Anthropic’s agentic coding tool that runs in your terminal, understands your codebase, and helps automate routine dev tasks (refactors, explanations, git workflows, etc.). This Umbrel app wraps it so you can:
-
Run Claude Code alongside your existing self-hosted stack on Umbrel
-
Keep everything on your own hardware instead of relying on a separate dev machine
-
Experiment with AI-assisted workflows in a more “server-native” way
Important notes
-
This is not an official Umbrel or Anthropic app. It’s a community-driven experiment.
-
Use it at your own risk and always review the code and configuration before deploying.
-
You will need valid API access/keys to use Claude Code’s features.
-
Feedback, issues, and PRs are very welcome on GitHub.
How to try it
All install details, configuration, and caveats are documented in the repo:
https://github.com/Krigsexe/claude-umbrel
If you test it on your node, feel free to share your setup, performance notes, and ideas for improvements or integrations with other Umbrel apps. This is an early iteration and community input will shape where it goes next.
Happy hacking and self-hosting!
