Run your first cloud agent on your own infrastructure in ~10 minutes using the managed architecture with the Docker backend — the default and fastest path to self-hosting.
This quickstart sets up the [managed architecture](https://funcoding.ai/agents/warp/factories/self-hosting/#managed-architecture), where the Automation Platform orchestrates the agent and your worker provides the compute. **Prefer a CLI-only path with no Docker requirement?** Jump to the [Unmanaged quickstart](https://funcoding.ai/agents/warp/platform/unmanaged-execution/#unmanaged-quickstart) to run `oz agent run` directly on any host.
---
## Prerequisites
* **Managed self-hosting access and credentials** - Complete the shared [managed prerequisites](https://funcoding.ai/agents/warp/factories/self-hosting/#managed-prerequisites), then create an [Agent API key associated with the Default Service Account](https://funcoding.ai/agents/warp/agents/cli/oz-cli/api-keys/#from-the-web-app-recommended). This key authenticates both the worker and the `oz agent run-cloud` command in this quickstart. A self-hosted worker key authenticates the worker only.
* **A Linux machine with a rootful Docker daemon and GNU `stat`** - This quickstart does not cover macOS or Windows. On those hosts, follow the [Homebrew](https://funcoding.ai/agents/warp/factories/self-hosting/managed-docker/#option-2-homebrew) or [release binary](https://funcoding.ai/agents/warp/factories/self-hosting/managed-docker/#option-3-github-releases-binary) setup instead.
* **The Oz CLI** - Install it on the machine that will route the test run. See [Installing the CLI](https://funcoding.ai/agents/warp/agents/cli/oz-cli/#installing-the-cli).

## Run your first self-hosted agent
_~10 minutes_
### 1. Export your API key
Export the Agent API key so the worker container and the Oz CLI can authenticate to the Automation Platform:
```bash
export WARP_API_KEY="YOUR_AGENT_API_KEY"
```
### 2. Start the worker
On the Linux host, run the `oz-agent-worker` container and mount the Docker socket so the worker can spawn task containers. Choose any `--worker-id` meaningful for your team — you'll use this value to route tasks to this worker.
```bash
export DOCKER_SOCKET_GID="$(stat -c '%g' /var/run/docker.sock)"
docker run \
--group-add "$DOCKER_SOCKET_GID" \
-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
-e WARP_API_KEY="$WARP_API_KEY" \
warpdotdev/oz-agent-worker --worker-id "my-worker"
```
**Expected outcome:** The worker connects to the Automation Platform and begins listening for tasks. You should see log output confirming the connection (something like `Connected to Oz` / `Waiting for tasks`).
For production deployments, pin to a specific image digest (e.g., `warpdotdev/oz-agent-worker@sha256:...`) instead of the `latest` tag.
### 3. Route a run to your worker
In a separate terminal on any machine with the Oz CLI, route a cloud agent run to your worker by passing `--host` with the worker ID you chose:
```bash
oz agent run-cloud --prompt "List the files in the current directory" --host "my-worker"
```
**Expected outcome:** The Automation Platform accepts the task, routes it to your worker, and the worker spawns a Docker container to execute the agent. You'll see the run appear in the cloud agent dashboard with status moving from `QUEUED` → `INPROGRESS` → `SUCCEEDED`.
### 4. Verify the run
Open the cloud agent dashboard, find the new task, and confirm the session transcript shows the agent running against your worker. You can attach to the session at any time via [Agent Session Sharing](https://funcoding.ai/agents/warp/agents/local-agents/session-sharing/) to monitor or steer it.

## Troubleshooting
**Worker won't start**\
Verify Docker is running (`docker info`) and that the daemon platform is `linux/amd64` or `linux/arm64`. Musl-based (Alpine) worker hosts are not supported.
**Worker won't connect**\
Verify you created an **Agent** key associated with the Default Service Account and that it has not expired. Ensure the machine has outbound internet access to `oz.warp.dev:443`. Increase log verbosity with `--log-level debug` to see connection details.
**Task stays queued and never runs**\
Confirm the `--host` value you passed to `oz agent run-cloud` matches your `--worker-id` exactly (case-sensitive). Check that the worker's team matches the team creating the task.
