Most users use our desktop app. This guide helps you setup OpenWork via the CLI so that you can run OpenWork tasks in the background on your infra. If you want OpenWork-hosted shared workspaces, org-managed skill hubs, or shared providers for a team, use the Cloud docs instead of self-hosting this flow. If you’re an enterprise looking to self-host, please book a call here
