About
AstraBox is a self-hosted, open-source runtime for running managed coding agents, including Claude Code, Codex, Hermes, DeepSeek Harness, and Pi, on your own infrastructure, positioned as an alternative to Anthropic's Claude Managed Agents. It provides a hosted online sandbox where anyone can try an agent writing and running code with a free model, without signing up, in sessions that last about two minutes.
At a glance
AstraBox runs coding-agent programs as services on infrastructure you operate, with sessions, streamed output and sandboxes. It is worth evaluating if you need reusable remote agent sessions and are prepared to own the infrastructure.
Good fit
Teams prototyping an internal agent service that needs explicit controls for credentials and workspace access.
Consider something else when
Use a local harness when a single developer needs one temporary session.
Start here
Use the documented demo with a synthetic task or read its limits before setting up your own instance. Check session visibility and which actions the sandbox permits.
Cost and requirements
Apache-2.0 project. The documented self-hosted setup uses Linux or WSL 2 with Docker and a compatible model service.
Limits to know
Self-hosting leaves identity, credentials, storage and sandbox configuration with the operator. The demo has its own limits and does not establish how a private deployment is configured.

Why it made the leaderboard
Lets teams run Claude Code, Codex, and similar coding agents as managed services on their own infrastructure instead of a vendor's hosted cloud, useful for anyone with data-residency or cost constraints.
