AxonOS Documentation

Your scientific desktop, a browser tab away.

AxonOS is a full Linux research desktop with real GPUs, streamed to your browser at app.axonos.io. Connect a wallet, buy compute credits, and launch a preloaded scientific environment in minutes. These docs show you how — and how to self-host if you'd rather run your own.

Using AxonOS

From wallet to workload, in four steps.

What you get

One launch. A whole research lab.

🖥️A full Linux desktop in your browser

Not SSH, not a notebook — a real XFCE workstation streamed to any modern browser.

🧬A complete scientific suite, preloaded

JupyterLab, RStudio, Spyder, UGENE, QGIS, Fiji/ImageJ, GROMACS and Nextflow on launch.

🤖A built-in AI assistant

Local Ollama models for text and vision, with screenshot analysis and web search.

Real GPU, billed by the minute

Claim a Small→Max GPU profile, pay only for what you use, and resume where you left off.

💾Persistent storage

Your home folder is saved between sessions on a personal volume you control.

🔑Crypto-native access

Wallet sign-in and an ETH-first, AXGT-discounted payment rail — no accounts to manage.

For operators & developers

Prefer to run it yourself?

AxonOS is open source (MIT). Build the image, run a single desktop, or bring up the full wallet-gated stack with Docker Compose — the same software that powers app.axonos.io.

bash
# Clone and build a single desktop
git clone https://github.com/AXDT-INC/AxonOS.git
cd AxonOS
docker build --build-arg PASSWORD="$AXONOS_VNC_PASSWORD" -t axonos .

# Run it (GPU optional)
docker run -d --gpus all --env-file .env -p 6080:6080 --name axonos-lab axonos

# Open http://localhost:6080/vnc.html
