Roomote agents work on your repositories in isolated sandboxes and return results you can review. Start, follow, and steer their work from the web dashboard, with optional connections to your team’s chat and other tools. This guide takes you from choosing where Roomote runs to completing your first repository task. Both hosting paths run the same Roomote product.

​
1. Choose where Roomote runs

Roomote Cloud

Roomote manages hosting, networking, sandboxes, and upgrades for your isolated deployment. You choose inference, connect repositories, and decide what work to run.

Self-hosted

Run Roomote on your own hardware or infrastructure you control. You manage the host, networking, sandboxes, and maintenance, then connect inference and repositories.
A home server or homelab is a self-hosted deployment. So is a deployment on infrastructure you manage through a hosting provider, such as Railway or Render. The self-hosting guide helps you choose a host and prepare it before installation. You access Roomote from a browser on Windows, macOS, or Linux. Each computer does not need its own installation.

​
2. Complete setup and run your first task

Once your deployment is ready, follow Run your first task. The guide walks through:
  1. Creating the administrator account and connecting inference, which gives Roomote access to a model.
  2. Connecting a repository and checking that a sandbox is ready to run work.
  3. Running a small repository inspection task and reviewing the result.
Have a repository you can authorize Roomote to access. For inference, use managed Roomote inference when offered, or bring a supported subscription or provider API key. The hosting guide explains what is already supplied.
Slack and other communications providers are optional. You can complete your first task entirely in the web dashboard, then connect chat when you want to use it.
