langbot-deploy

A deployment and configuration guide for running LangBot in production or on your own servers. LangBot is an application for building and running chat bots and agent integrations.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps install, upgrade, configure, and deploy LangBot with Docker, Docker Compose, Kubernetes, the Box sandbox, plugin services, and API access.
Why use it?
It brings the required container, security-key, sandbox, plugin-runtime, and configuration details together so a running installation is set up correctly.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

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 B, and why

langbot-deploy scanned grade B 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.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

`sudo usermod -aG docker <user>` and restart in a new shell.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 98 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

LangBot Deployment & Configuration

Covers running LangBot in production. For development see langbot-dev.

git clone https://github.com/langbot-app/LangBot
cd LangBot/docker

# Full stack (sandbox/Box + stdio MCP hosting + skill add/edit enabled)
docker compose --profile all up

# Basic (no Box runtime)
docker compose up

The all / box profile starts three services:

  • langbot — main app, serves API + UI on :5300.
  • langbot_plugin_runtime — plugin runtime (control :5400, debug :5401).
  • langbot_box — Box sandbox runtime (:5410). Uses the host Docker socket to spawn sandbox containers, so the Box root host path and in-container path must be identical (BOX__LOCAL__HOST_ROOT=${LANGBOT_BOX_ROOT:-${PWD}/data/box}). OSS allows its RPC and managed-process relay to run without a token when both sides leave LANGBOT_BOX_CONTROL_TOKEN unset. For an exposed endpoint, set the same value of at least 32 non-whitespace characters in both the LangBot and Box containers. Generate it once with openssl rand -hex 32; never put it in box.runtime.endpoint or commit it to config.

A Compose deployment may optionally set LANGBOT_PLUGIN_RUNTIME_CONTROL_TOKEN on both langbot and langbot_plugin_runtime when port 5400 needs shared-secret protection. OSS defaults to leaving it unset on both sides. If enabled, generate one value with openssl rand -hex 32; configuring only one side causes the control connection to fail. Kubernetes may use the langbot-plugin-runtime-control Secret shown in docker/kubernetes.yaml.

With Box off, the dashboard/skills list stays visible (read-only) but sandbox tools, skill add/edit, and stdio MCP are disabled. Set box.enabled: false (or BOX__ENABLED=false) to match.

Kubernetes

See docker/kubernetes.yaml and the deployment guide at https://docs.langbot.app. docker/deploy-k8s-test.sh is a test helper.

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.

langbot-deploy is a skill published in the GitHub repository langbot-app/LangBot (17,616 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 104 tokens to every session and 1,142 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (asks for root). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
