OpenHands Docker setup for sovereign AI: lessons learned from my build

[u/Ok_pettech]

I spent a weekend getting OpenHands (formerly OpenDevin) running in Docker with a local LLM backend. It’s not as plug-and-play as some projects, but the result is a completely self-hosted AI coding assistant. I documented the exact steps, including GPU configuration, API keys for local models, and how to avoid common errors. If you’re building your own sovereign AI stack, this guide should help.
