Cloud

Running al start on your laptop works for development, but for production you want agents running 24/7 on remote infrastructure — no laptop required and automatic restarts. Action Llama supports VPS deployment for cost-effective remote hosting.

​
VPS (SSH + Docker)

Agents run on any VPS or server you can SSH into. Images are built directly on the server via tar | ssh docker build — no container registry needed. Credentials are stored on the VPS filesystem over SSH. 
[cloud]
provider = "vps"
host = "your-vps-ip"
Setup supports three paths:
  • Connect to an existing server — any provider, any server with Docker installed
  • Provision a new Vultr VPS — automated instance creation with cloud-init Docker install
  • Provision a new Hetzner VPS — automated server creation with cloud-init Docker install
See VPS deployment docs for full setup details.
