Self-host QuoxCORE, or let Claude set it up.
QuoxCORE runs from Docker Compose on your own hardware. If you would rather not run the commands yourself, point Claude Code at Quoxpert and it stands the stack up for you.
In plain words
What it is, where it lives, when to reach for it
- What is it
- The install guide for QuoxCORE, the self-hosted platform, from a bare host to first login.
- Where do I use it
- On a Linux server or VM you own, with Docker and the Compose plugin.
- When would I use it
- When you are ready to run the platform on your own hardware.
- How do I use it
- Early access until launch: sign git in to GitHub, then run
curl -fsSL https://get.quox.ai | sh.
QuoxCORE is the free, self-hosted platform underneath this. What is QuoxCORE
Quick self-host path
Install with Docker Compose.
The script below clones the source and runs the stack's own setup, unattended, on your own machine. It is not a shortcut that hides what happens: every step it takes is listed below, and you can fetch the script and read it before piping it to a shell.
Orchestration, agents, memory and governed tools, live in a few real commands, not a black box.
curl -fsSL https://get.quox.ai | shNeeds Git, Docker Compose and a Linux or macOS host.
What that command actually does
Two real steps. No magic.
QuoxCORE installs with Docker Compose, not a single opaque binary. The installer clones the public quoxcore and quoxmcp repos side by side (QuoxFlow is bundled in quoxcore), then runs scripts/setup.sh --yes, which generates secrets and SSL certs, builds the images and starts the stack. Both repos are public, so no GitHub sign-in is needed.
curl -fsSL https://get.quox.ai | shNeeds Git, Docker Compose and a Linux or macOS host.
Why two sibling reposquoxmcp is a mandatory checkout, cloned as a sibling of quox, not a subfolder of it. Without it, MCP tools are not available to agents. QuoxFlow is bundled inside quoxcore at quoxflow/, so it needs no separate clone. The installer gets both repos.
Once the containers report healthy, open https://localhost:3000 and complete the Setup Wizard. That is how the first admin account and organisation get created: there is no seed script to run in production, by design.
Deploying on a public, internet-facing boxAdd the hardened compose override so the containers never mount the Docker socket or your home directory:docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.public.yml up -d. The full deploy guide covers TLS, firewalling and backups.
Before you start
What you need.
Any Linux box that runs current Docker will do. Nothing exotic.
docker compose version to check.
Or let Claude set it up
Claude-managed setup.
Point Claude Code at Quoxpert and it installs, configures and runs QuoxCORE for you. Quoxpert makes your Claude an instant expert at Quox: it drives the quox CLI and the Quox MCP tools to stand up the stack, complete the Setup Wizard, and operate it day to day, governed and logged like everything else on the platform.
Quoxpert ships with early access until launch. Early-access customers get the Claude Code plugin and its installer alongside repository access. Get early access.
