Linux Container

Docker containers running Linux desktops with fast startup and low resource usage. Each container includes a pre-installed computer-server for remote control via HTTP API.

Available Containers

Key Features

• Fast startup — Containers start in seconds
• Low resource usage — Minimal overhead compared to full VMs
• Docker-based — Works anywhere Docker runs
• Filesystem snapshots — Save state via docker commit

Quick Start

from computer import Computer

async with Computer(
    os_type="linux",
    provider_type="docker",
    image="trycua/cua-xfce:latest",
) as computer:
    screenshot = await computer.interface.screenshot()

Limitations

Linux containers only support filesystem snapshots via docker commit, which saves the disk state but not running processes or memory. The container must be restarted after restoring.
