HolyClaude is a Docker-based AI coding workstation that bundles the official Claude Code CLI, a modern web UI, multiple AI command-line tools, a headless Chromium browser with Playwright, and over 50 essential development tools into one pre-configured container, letting developers launch a fully equipped environment with a single command and start building instantly. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install HolyClaude on your UGREEN NAS using Docker & Portainer.
