LocalRuntime — Browser, Jupyter, VSCode, and served-app tabs in a self-hosted OpenHands 0.44 deployment Hi all, looking for guidance on getting all four runtime tabs (Browser, Jupyter, VSCode, Served Apps) fully functional in a self-hosted setup. Environment - OpenHands 0.44 (ghcr.io/all-hands-ai/openhands:0.44) - Two deployment shapes side by side: a. Admin server: vanilla compose, uses DockerRuntime spinning up ghcr.io/all-hands-ai/runtime:0.44-nikolaik per conversation. All four tabs work out of the box here. b. Per-developer sandbox: container built FROM ghcr.io/all-hands-ai/openhands:0.44, runs LocalRuntime (RUNTIME=local, LOCAL_RUNTIME_MODE=1, OPENHANDS_REPO_PATH=/app) so we avoid nested docker. This is the one I have questions about. - LiteLLM in front of vLLM serving Qwen3-Coder-30B for the LLM. Sandbox image extras already installed for LocalRuntime to come up cleanly # poetry "runtime" group deps OH server image doesn't bundle RUN /app/.venv/bin/pip install --no-cache-dir \ jupyterlab notebook jupyter_kernel_gateway memory-profiler flake8 # bash sessions RUN apt-get install -y tmux # browser plugin RUN /app/.venv/bin/playwright install --with-deps chromium # real openvscode-server (98 MB), multi-staged in from the official runtime image FROM ghcr.io/all-hands-ai/runtime:0.44-nikolaik AS oh-runtime # ... COPY --from=oh-runtime /openhands/.openvscode-server /openhands/.openvscode-server Without each of these, agent_session start either errors (tmux not on path, No module named memory_profiler, BrowserType.launch: Executable doesn't exist) or hangs (VSCode plugin's stdout-wait loop, until the wait_all plugin timeout fires). What now works in the sandbox - execute_bash via tmux ✓ - browser plugin: browser_env.py: Successfully called env.reset and Browser env started. in logs ✓ - execute_ipython_cell: jupyter-kernelgateway process spawns, ipykernel_launcher is a child ✓ - str_replace_editor: writes files to /workspace ✓ - VSCode: tab loads in the UI, GET /vscode/connection_token returns 200 (just installed the real binary, untested end-to-end) - Served-Apps tab: file_viewer_server starts at localhost:<port> per startup log Specific questions I'd love help on 1. Is there a canonical list of dependencies LocalRuntime requires? I peeled them off one stack trace at a time (tmux → memory_profiler → playwright → jupyter group → openvscode-server). A reference list would be great for anyone else building a custom sandbox image off the OH server image. 2. VSCode plugin under LocalRuntime: is copying /openhands/.openvscode-server/ from the nikolaik image the supported approach, or is there an official install path? My current Dockerfile uses a multi-stage COPY --from=ghcr.io/all-hands-ai/runtime:0.44-nikolaik. Works, but feels brittle. 3. Jupyter plugin in LocalRuntime mode specifically needs LOCAL_RUNTIME_MODE=1 and OPENHANDS_REPO_PATH=/app env vars to look in the local .venv instead of nikolaik's /openhands/poetry/... path. Is that documented anywhere, or did I figure that out by reading the source? 4. Served-Apps tab discovery: how does the UI know which ports inside the runtime container are "apps the agent has served"? I see file_viewer_server listening on a random high port; does the UI pick up any listener, or does the agent need to call a specific tool to register the app? 5. MCP tools create_pr and create_mr appear in every conversation's tool list unconditionally (loaded from openhands/server/routes/mcp.py). They fail when no GitHub token is set (LocalProtocolError: Illegal header value b'Bearer '). What's the supported way to disable them at server-config time without forking? I haven't found a config flag. 6. Microagent reload semantics: When I edit a file in the mounted microagents folder, current conversations don't pick it up. I believe agent_session.start() caches the prompt at init, and only new conversations see edits. Is that correct? Is there a hot-reload endpoint or pattern others use during microagent development?

Hi Beryl, 0.44 is an ancient version of OpenHands. Could you try using the most recent version?
