v1.0 · BuilderOps live

Describe an app.
Watch it get built — in your browser.

Distro is a self-hosted AI app-building platform: its agent writes, runs, previews, and iterates on a full-stack codebase live in your browser — no local dev environment, no cloud VM. It assembles bolt.diy (the in-browser IDE) and OmniRoute (the AI gateway) and operates them as one service.

Get started Docs

$ git clone https://github.com/innotelinc/distro.git && cd distro && cp .env.example .env && ./scripts/bootstrap.sh

Chat-to-codeagent writes & runs apps

WebContainerNode in the tab — no cloud VM

OmniRouteone gateway, every provider

Multi-tenantper-user keys · quotas · spend

The whole build loop, in one tab.

Chat, code, run, preview, iterate — with your provider keys and your users' quotas under your control.

Chat-to-code agent

Describe an app in natural language and the agent writes, runs, previews, and iterates on a full-stack codebase.

WebContainer sandbox

npm install, dev servers, and terminals — Node.js runs in the tab with no cloud VM required.

Live preview & terminal

Iterate on a running app with an in-browser shell and instant reload as the agent edits files.

Keys never leave the server

The agent talks only to your self-hosted OmniRoute gateway — upstream provider keys live in one place, never in the browser.

Multi-tenant control plane

Accounts, one gateway key per user, quota and spend enforcement, an admin console, and an audit log.

SSO & billing, optional

Cerulean Authentik identity and Magnate subscriptions from the platform stack — wired in, off by default.

Two MIT upstreams, one service.

Distro assembles bolt.diy and OmniRoute and operates them as one service — the agent only ever talks to the gateway.

bolt.diy · MIT · pinned stable

The in-browser IDE — chat-to-code, WebContainer sandbox, live preview, file tree, terminal. Forked and rebranded into apps/web.

OmniRoute · MIT

The AI routing gateway: one OpenAI-compatible /v1/* endpoint in front of hundreds of upstream providers, with fallback and token/cost accounting.

Control plane

Multi-tenant layer: accounts, per-user gateway keys, quota enforcement, spend tracking, admin console, audit log.

The seam

bolt.diy's OpenAILike provider plugs straight into OmniRoute's endpoint — no custom adapter code. That seam is the whole integration.

# one command: secrets + gateway + web
$ ./scripts/bootstrap.sh
>> [gateway] OmniRoute online → http://127.0.0.1:20128
>> [web]     Distro IDE online   → http://127.0.0.1:5173

$ docker compose up -d --build web && make doctor
all services healthy · gateway key wired

From the front door to a running app — the agent's reply streams in as files, installs, and dev servers.

The Distro front door.

The agent writes a project and it appears in the file tree.

The reply streams in with actions — files, installs, and dev servers.

Live on the stack.

Wildcard TLS through Nginx Proxy Manager, identity via Cerulean Authentik. The OmniRoute gateway also publishes on the LAN (dashboard + API keys on port 20128).
