Are cloud agents a good idea for me?

Installing Atelier

  1. Connect to your server

    SSH into a Linux server that will only be used for Atelier.

  2. Install Atelier

    curl -fsSL https://lucasmeijer.com/get-atelier | sudo bash
Where do the cloud agents run?

On your own Linux computer. Rent one from Hetzner, or use an old machine you have laying around.

How beefy should the Linux machine be?

I use 8 CPU, 16 GB of memory, and a 320 GB disk in a data center that’s relatively close. Bigger is better, but it’s easy to scale up later.

Why does Atelier use Tailscale?

Atelier has access to your code and development tools, so it shouldn’t be open to the internet. Tailscale makes it easy to keep it accessible only to you.

How do I install project dependencies?

You can give each project its own Dockerfile. Use it to install the versions of Node, Bun, Python, native libraries, or anything else your project needs.

Which models can I use?

All of them. You can use your OpenAI subscription, Anthropic API key, OpenRouter, etc.
