Quick start
The recommended setup uses Node.js 22.19.0+, npm, Pi Coding Agent installed and configured for your user, git, and the development tools your agents need. Best-effort Bun support is also available.
npm install -g @jmfederico/pi-web --allow-scripts=node-pty
pi-web install
pi-web doctor
On npm 12, the scoped flag lets node-pty prepare its required native module.
Open http://127.0.0.1:8504. Add a project, choose a workspace or Git worktree, and start a session.
pi-web status
pi-web logs
pi-web restart
pi-web update
pi-web uninstall
For installation variants, Docker, and remote access, see the installation guide.
Core model
- Machine: a local or remote PI WEB runtime.
- Project: a folder on that machine.
- Workspace: a working folder, such as a Git worktree.
- Session: a Pi Coding Agent conversation running in a workspace.
Use files, terminals, plugins, and agent workflows in one UI. Register remote machines to supervise work across a fleet.
Security
PI WEB assumes trusted users, repositories, paths, and plugins. It is not a sandbox or a multi-tenant platform.
For remote access, use a trusted private network, VPN, SSH tunnel, or authenticated reverse proxy. Do not expose PI WEB directly to the public internet.
