Deploy alongside provider containers for full functionality:
# 1. Deploy ollama (provides OLLAMA_HOST)
charly config ollama
charly start ollama
# 2. Deploy jupyter (provides jupyter MCP server)
charly config jupyter --update-all
charly start jupyter
# 3. Deploy openwebui (consumes both)
charly config openwebui --env-file .secrets --update-all
charly start openwebui

OpenCharly CLI (charly) binary installed into container/VM images for in-container use. Use when working with charly binary deployment inside containers, native D-Bus support, or the full charly toolchain (charly binary + virtualization + gocryptfs + socat).
development
Operator CachyOS workstation profile — a kind:local template + target:local deploy that installs the full dev stack (30 candies) onto a CachyOS host via ShellExecutor. Lives in the overthinkos/cachyos submodule. MUST be invoked before editing or applying the charly-cachyos workstation profile.
tools
Fedora box with the full charly toolchain using shared candies. Rootless-first — runs as uid=1000 with passwordless sudo (no root, no cap_add: ALL). Same candy list as charly-arch. Includes NVIDIA GPU runtime. MUST be invoked before building, deploying, configuring, or troubleshooting the charly-fedora box.
tools
Arch Linux box with the full charly toolchain. Rootless-first — runs as uid=1000 with passwordless sudo (no root, no cap_add: ALL). Composes /charly-coder:charly-mcp so the box is reachable as an MCP gateway on port 18765. NVIDIA GPU runtime composed in. MUST be invoked before building, deploying, configuring, or troubleshooting the charly-arch box.
