What is this???

One more Agent orchestrator that I build for myself.

It might be buggy and it might be weird.

But it fit my needs.

WHY?

I often work on multiple projects simualtaniously and quite asynchrounously, and quite often I just want to submit a task for Claude in Private repo and return to it later. I can use github integration with Claude, or Tmux sessions, but first one is lacking full machine access to run whatever it wants to achieve a task. And tmux require ssh/machine access, so it doesn't really work when I commute or visiting at event.

The vision for Draken is that's asyncronous by nature and every interation with it is a single container run which completes and exits, the only artifact it produces is visible via git diff. Context is preserved via sessions and threads in UI, so you can have few async sessions and interact with them.

Install

Quick Start (npx)

# Install prerequisites
npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
claude login  # Authenticate with Anthropic

# Run Draken (local dev, no auth)
DRAKEN_NO_AUTH=true npx draken

Open http://localhost:40333

VPS Deployment

# 1. Install Node.js 18+ and Docker
curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_20.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com | sh
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

# 2. Install and authenticate Claude CLI
npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
claude login

# 3. Set credentials and run
export DRAKEN_USERNAME=admin
export DRAKEN_PASSWORD=your-secure-password
export DRAKEN_JWT_SECRET=$(openssl rand -hex 32)

npx draken

For HTTPS, put behind a reverse proxy:

# Caddy (automatic HTTPS)
sudo caddy reverse-proxy --from draken.yourdomain.com --to localhost:40333

From Source

git clone https://github.com/mehanig/draken.git
cd draken

npm install && cd client && npm install && cd ..
npm run build && cd client && npm run build && cd ..

DRAKEN_NO_AUTH=true npm start

Features

• Multi-project — Manage multiple codebases from one dashboard
• Docker isolation — Each task runs in its own container
• Real-time logs — Stream Claude's output via SSE
• Session continuity — Follow up on previous tasks
• Git integration — View status and diffs in the UI
• Auth — JWT-based for secure deployment

Configuration

| Variable | Required | Description | |----------|----------|-------------| | DRAKEN_USERNAME | For deployment | Web UI username | | DRAKEN_PASSWORD | For deployment | Web UI password | | DRAKEN_JWT_SECRET | For deployment | JWT signing secret (32+ chars) | | DRAKEN_NO_AUTH | No | Set true to disable auth | | ANTHROPIC_API_KEY | If no OAuth | Alternative to claude login |

Usage

1. Add a project — Browse and select a folder
2. Generate Dockerfile — One-time setup per project
3. Run a task — Enter a prompt, Claude works in container
4. View logs — Real-time output streaming
5. Follow up — Continue the conversation
6. Check git diff — Review changes before committing
