Glowby OSS
Make your Glowbom project production-ready with AI coding agents, locally.
Loading page content...
Glowby OSS is the free, open source part of Glowbom. It takes a Glowbom project and makes it production-ready using AI coding agents. Everything runs on your machine. It works with Glowbom projects and can also work with other project structures.
The fastest way to get started:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/glowbom/glowby/main/scripts/install.sh | sh
Run glowby doctor to check that everything is installed.
glowby code
This starts the backend and web UI, then opens the browser. Press Ctrl+C to stop.
To point at a specific project folder:
glowby code /path/to/project
If you prefer to run each piece yourself:
# Terminal 1: backend
cd backend
go run .
# runs on http://localhost:4569
# Terminal 2: web UI
cd web
bun install
bun run dev
# runs on http://localhost:4572
Pick one of three ways to connect to an AI provider:
| Mode | How it works |
|---|---|
| Auth Providers | Log in with ChatGPT. No keys needed. |
| API Keys | Bring your own key for any supported provider. |
| OpenCode Config | Uses your existing OpenCode setup as-is. |
Glowby OSS is powered by OpenCode and works with a wide variety of agents and models. Use free models, log in with your ChatGPT account to access frontier models like GPT-5.4, bring your own API keys, or run local models with Ollama. Support for Codex App Server is planned. You pick what works best for your project.
Glowby OSS works with models from many providers:
127.0.0.1 only, so nothing is exposed to the network.Use glowby code --show-local-auth to print the token if you need it for debugging.

On Windows, Glowby OSS runs under WSL. Linux works natively. The folder picker falls back to a manual path input when no native picker is available.
