Run Paseo from an official Docker image (#1740)

* Add Docker images and agent Docker Mods

Ship official container images that run the Paseo daemon headless. One
Dockerfile parametrized by BASE_IMAGE covers Debian 12/13, Ubuntu 22.04/24.04
and Alpine; it bundles Node 22, the npm-published server + CLI, a vendored
s6-overlay as PID 1, and a small Docker Mods loader.

Agents are chosen at runtime via DOCKER_MODS (pipe-separated mod images). Each
mod is a FROM scratch image carrying only an install hook that runs
`npm install -g <agent-cli>`; the loader pulls the layers from the registry,
extracts them, and runs the hook before the daemon starts, so any requested
agent is on PATH when Paseo probes provider availability.

- docker/base: Dockerfile, install scripts, s6 services, mods loader
- docker/mods/*: claude-code, codex, copilot, opencode, pi
- docker/docker-compose.example.yml + docker/README.md
- .github/workflows/docker.yml: multi-arch (amd64/arm64) buildx matrix,
  publishes to ghcr.io/getpaseo on version tags
- docs/docker.md + CLAUDE.md docs index row

* feat(docker): print pairing QR and link on daemon startup

Add an s6 oneshot service that waits for the daemon to listen, then runs
`paseo daemon pair` so the pairing QR code and link surface in the container
logs. Best-effort: never blocks boot, skips gracefully when relay is disabled.
Opt out with PASEO_PAIRING_QR=0.

* build(docker): add Arch image support

* ci(docker): build Arch without Buildx

* docs(docker): document paseo env contract

* feat(docker): add opt-in sudo mode

* docs(docker): link env references

* fix(docker): create agent config dirs

* fix(docker): default home to /home/paseo

* docs(docker): document agent auth setup

* docs(docker): document relay port setup

* fix(docker): install Node from tarball

* docs: add Docker quick start

* docs(docker): remove legacy home example

* docs(docker): set container hostname

* fix(docker): prepare opencode storage

* fix(docker): allow paseo login shell

* fix docker opencode permissions

* ci(docker): use Node 24 actions

* fix(docker): install bzip2 runtime tools

* fix(docker): update Pi mod package

* fix(docker): quiet default daemon logs

* fix(docker): split home from state

Docker images now keep HOME at /home/paseo and store Paseo daemon state under /home/paseo/.paseo by default.

Existing volumes can keep the old layout by setting PASEO_HOME=/home/paseo.

* fix(docker): keep mods out of paseo home

* ci(docker): skip alpine arm64 builds

* fix(docker): address review findings

* fix(docker): verify s6 overlay downloads

* fix(docker): honor custom healthcheck port

* fix(docker): fail on mod extraction errors

* feat(docker): add official container image

Ship a focused daemon image with the bundled web UI enabled and document extending it with agent CLIs.

* ci(docker): publish images only on stable releases

* fix(docker): check daemon health over HTTP

# Docker
The official Paseo Docker image runs the daemon and serves the bundled browser UI from the same HTTP origin. It is meant for servers, dev boxes, NAS devices, homelab hosts, and other places where you want Paseo running without the desktop app.
Docker images follow the stable Paseo release cadence. `ghcr.io/getpaseo/paseo:latest` points at the latest stable release, not an arbitrary `main` build.
```bash
docker run -d --name paseo \
-p 6767:6767 \
-e PASEO_PASSWORD=change-me \
-v "$PWD/paseo-home:/home/paseo" \
-v "$PWD:/workspace" \
ghcr.io/getpaseo/paseo:latest
```
Then open:
```text
http://localhost:6767
```
If you set `PASEO_PASSWORD`, use that same password when adding the direct daemon connection in the web UI, mobile app, or CLI.
## What the image includes
The image:
- installs the Paseo daemon and CLI
- serves the bundled web UI
- listens on `0.0.0.0:6767` inside the container
- stores daemon state under `/home/paseo/.paseo`
- runs the daemon and launched agents as the non-root `paseo` user
The image does not bundle agent CLIs such as Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Copilot, or Pi. Add the agents you use with a small child image.
## Docker Compose
```yaml
services:
paseo:
image: ghcr.io/getpaseo/paseo:latest
container_name: paseo
restart: unless-stopped
ports:
- "6767:6767"
environment:
PASEO_PASSWORD: "change-me"
# PASEO_HOSTNAMES: "paseo.example.com,.lan"
volumes:
- ./paseo-home:/home/paseo
- ./workspace:/workspace
```
Start it:
```bash
docker compose up -d
```
## Install agent CLIs
Create a child image for the providers you want available:
```Dockerfile
FROM ghcr.io/getpaseo/paseo:latest
USER root
RUN npm install -g @openai/codex @anthropic-ai/claude-code opencode-ai
```
Build it:
```bash
docker build -t paseo-with-agents .
```
Then use `image: paseo-with-agents` in Compose.
Leave the child image user as root. The base entrypoint uses root only for first-run mounted-volume setup, then drops the daemon and launched agents to the non-root `paseo` user.
You can authenticate agents either by passing provider environment variables or by running the provider login flow inside the container:
```bash
docker exec -it --user paseo paseo codex
docker exec -it --user paseo paseo claude
```
Agent credentials persist in `/home/paseo`.
## Volumes
Mount two paths for most deployments:
| Mount | Purpose |
| ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `/home/paseo` | Paseo state plus agent config and credentials such as `.codex`, `.claude` |
| `/workspace` | Code that Paseo and launched agents can read and write |
On Linux, the built-in `paseo` user is uid/gid `1000:1000`. Make mounted directories writable by that user, or run the container with Docker's `--user` / Compose `user:` option.
## Reverse proxy
Forward normal HTTP traffic and WebSocket upgrades to the container.
Caddy:
```caddy
paseo.example.com {
reverse_proxy 127.0.0.1:6767
}
```
Nginx:
```nginx
server {
listen 443 ssl;
server_name paseo.example.com;
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:6767;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
}
}
```
If you reach Paseo by DNS name, allow that host:
```yaml
environment:
PASEO_HOSTNAMES: "paseo.example.com,.lan"
```
IPs and `localhost` are allowed by default.
## Security
Set `PASEO_PASSWORD` for any published port or network-reachable deployment. Use HTTPS at your reverse proxy for browser access outside localhost.
The static web UI is public on the daemon origin. The daemon API and WebSocket are protected by password auth when configured.
Agents can access whatever you mount into `/workspace` and whatever credentials you place in `/home/paseo`. Keep those mounts scoped to what the agents should be able to use.
See [Security](/docs/security) for the full daemon trust model.
## Troubleshooting
- **The UI loads but cannot connect:** if `PASEO_PASSWORD` is set, add a direct connection with the same password.
- **403 Host not allowed:** set `PASEO_HOSTNAMES` to the DNS names you use.
- **Provider not available:** install that agent CLI in a child image or make sure the binary is on `PATH`.
- **Permission errors in `/workspace`:** make the mounted directory writable by uid/gid `1000:1000`, or run the container as the host uid/gid.
- **Logs:** run `docker logs paseo`, or inspect `/home/paseo/.paseo/daemon.log` inside the container.
