1/ Today we're announcing Omarchy on Cua Cloud Fleets. To our knowledge, it's the first managed Omarchy cloud sandbox for Codex, Claude Code, Hermes and OpenClaw. Provision a Hyprland desktop with the Cua Sandbox SDK. Control it with Cua Driver MCP. Available now to eligible Fleet accounts at:

2/ Omarchy is built around Arch Linux and Hyprland. We wanted the real desktop and not an Omarchy-themed container. So Fleet boots it as a KubeVirt VM, from a full system disk at /disk/disk.img

3/ The build path looks like this: Arch Linux → pinned Omarchy → unattended Hyprland → Cua services → flattened qcow2 → KubeVirt containerDisk. OCI moves the artifact and KubeVirt boots the VM inside it.

4/ Provision it from Python or TypeScript with the Cua Sandbox SDK:

Key takeaways · AI-distilled
  • Cua builds the Fleet image as Arch Linux, pinned Omarchy, unattended Hyprland and Cua services, flattened to qcow2 and packaged as a KubeVirt containerDisk. OCI moves the artifact, and KubeVirt boots it as a VM from a full system disk.
  • Each Omarchy exposes two services: server:8000 for screenshots, shell, keyboard, mouse and clipboard, and Cua Driver on port 3000 at /mcp, so agents can use whichever interface fits their stack.
  • Cua lists Hyprland, screenshots, click and keyboard input, clipboard round-trip, workspace hotkeys and active-window dimensions as working out of the box, with the image pinned by immutable digest. Access requires Fleet admission and image availability.
Terms in this piece · Glossary
  • sandbox — An isolated environment where AI-generated code or agent actions run without being able to touch anything real.
  • MCP — The Model Context Protocol — an open standard that lets any AI assistant plug into any tool or data source without custom integration code.
  • AI agent — An AI system that doesn't just answer once but works toward a goal in a loop — taking actions, reading the results, and deciding what to do next.
Why it matters

Gives builders a real Linux/Hyprland desktop environment on demand for Codex, Claude Code, Hermes, or OpenClaw workflows, rather than approximating one in a container.
