Actana Control

Introduction

Actana Control is a self-hosted control plane for agentic coding. One web Panel drives any number of Cores — machines that run vendor coding CLIs (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor CLI, OpenCode) in PTY sessions against git repos that never leave that machine.

MIT licensed. Source lives at github.com/actana/control; images are actana/panel and actana/core on Docker Hub. npm view @actana/cli version prints the current release; pin both images to it with ACTANA_TAG.

The Panel is a connection broker: Core registry, Operator login, and presentation. It holds no project or session state. Each Core owns its SQLite, PTYs, and files. The Panel dials the Core; the Core never dials back.

In this section

  • Concepts — Panel, Core, Harness, Operator, and the rest of the vocabulary
  • How it works — who dials whom, and who owns which state
  • Security and privacy — repos stay on the Core; auth; what phones home

The wire-level detail lives in Architecture. Start on a machine with Get started.
