self-host-studio

self-host-studio is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from decocms/studio. It costs 117 tokens per session (6,202 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided installation procedure for running deco Studio, an open-source control panel, on infrastructure you own. It creates a directory containing a Helm chart and configured values for local Docker-based setups or Kubernetes clusters.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to install, deploy, or self-host Studio on a laptop, Rancher Desktop, kind, minikube, or a managed or self-managed Kubernetes cluster, then verify that the pods and web interface work.
Why use it?
It helps avoid guessing at environment checks, required services, chart settings, and verification. Studio requires PostgreSQL and an S3-compatible object store; NATS is included, while its code-execution and preview sandbox is optional.

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

self-host-studio scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 405 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Self-host deco Studio

Guide a user from nothing to a running, reachable Studio on their own infra. Be interactive: detect what they have, pick ONE tier, configure the chart(s) correctly, run it, then verify it actually works (pods Running + UI reachable

  • signup) — don't just report "installed".

Studio hard-needs PostgreSQL and an S3-compatible object store; NATS is bundled; the sandbox (code-exec + previews) is an optional layer.

What you produce is a directory, not a running pod. Every install — laptop or EKS — ends with an install directory the user owns and keeps: an umbrella chart with pinned OCI dependencies plus the values you filled in. Installing is then helm upgrade --install on that directory, and it behaves the same on Rancher Desktop and on a managed cluster — see "The artifact" below. Do not clone this repo and do not install from a checkout; the charts are public OCI artifacts and need no credentials.

0. Detect the environment

Detect what the user has:

uname -m                                   # arm64 (Apple Silicon) or x86_64
docker version --format '{{.Server.Version}}' 2>/dev/null || echo "no docker"
kubectl config current-context 2>/dev/null || echo "no kube context"
kubectl get nodes -o custom-columns='ARCH:.status.nodeInfo.architecture' --no-headers 2>/dev/null
kubectl get storageclass 2>/dev/null       # note the (default) one
helm version --short 2>/dev/null || echo "no helm"

No managed Kubernetes? Any local cluster works (all core images are multi-arch, Apple Silicon included): Rancher Desktop, Docker Desktop, k3d, kind, minikube, Colima/OrbStack.

Interview — ask, then fill a values file

Drive the install by ASKING, one question at a time; don't assume. Confirm the detected environment, then walk these. Record answers into a values file you'll helm template-validate and show the user before installing.

  1. Goal / tier — "Trying it out, a POC on a real cluster, or production?" → try-out → Compose (no artifact), or the artifact with bundled dev deps. → POC on a real cluster → the artifact, deps you choose below, dev-grade secrets OK. → production → the artifact + external secrets + HPA.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
