## Description

Unofficial Unraid image for Orca, Stably's open-source app (github.com/stablyai/orca) for running coding agents such as Claude Code and Codex side by side, each in its own git worktree. This container runs orca serve, Orca's headless runtime, so the agents, worktrees and terminals live on your server while the Orca desktop app, the browser client or the Orca phone app connect to it. The pairing link is printed in this container's log. On top of Orca, the image installs agent CLIs by name, clones your GitHub repositories into a Projects folder you choose, gives the terminals bash, zsh (with optional Oh My Zsh) or fish, works with Unraid's Use Tailscale switch, and is rebuilt for every Orca release. Optional: map the Docker or libvirt socket so agents can run their own containers or VMs; either one gives the agents root-level control of this server. The README has a step-by-step setup

## Common questions

### How do I pair the desktop or browser client with the Orca container on Unraid?

Open the container log and copy the Pairing URL or Browser URL that Orca prints. In the desktop app, add the pairing URL under Settings, Remote Orca Servers, Add Server, or open the browser URL directly.

### How can my devices reach the server over my tailnet or LAN?

Turn on Use Tailscale and leave Pairing address empty, or set Pairing address to the server's LAN or Tailscale IP.

### Will updating the image log me out of the agent CLIs?

No, the image keeps agent CLIs and logins in the Data folder, so updates do not log you out. You log in to each agent once through the container console.

### How do I make GitHub repositories available in Orca before I pair?

List repositories as owner/name before first start and add a GitHub token if any are private. They are cloned into the Projects folder and added to Orca on first start.

### What should I do if an agent will not start?

Run the agent's CLI in a regular terminal outside Orca to check installation and login. If it works outside Orca but not inside, make sure the CLI is on the PATH Orca sees.
