Installation

Install the local daemon, prepare Docker, and connect it to the dashboard.

Requirements

dispatchmy.ai runs agents in Docker containers. Install Docker before starting the daemon.

Tier 1 platforms: macOS and Linux on amd64 or arm64.
Windows support is beta and expects Docker Desktop with WSL 2.
The local daemon needs access to the Docker socket so it can build, start, stop, and inspect agent containers.

Install flow

There is no separate installer. The daemon ships as a single container image at ghcr.io/dispatchmyai/agent-manager, and the dashboard's Add daemon flow generates the exact docker run command for you, complete with a fresh pair code.

The command bind-mounts a host data directory ($HOME/.dispatchmy.ai by default) for state and the Docker socket so the daemon can launch agent containers. Pulling, pairing, and credential persistence all happen on first start.

After installation

Back in the dashboard, confirm the daemon shows as online. Then add a model provider and create a small test agent before enabling more tools or schedules.
