Collection of Windows batch scripts providing quick startup/shutdown operations for OpenClone project components. Designed for local development using Docker containers and Python applications on Windows systems.
Dependencies: Docker Desktop → Database → LogViewer → WebPack → AI Services → Main Website Philosophy: Stop-then-start pattern ensures clean state, container reuse for faster startup
All containers follow openclone-* prefix:
openclone-database(PostgreSQL on port 5433)openclone-website(ASP.NET Core on port 8080)openclone-sadtalker(AI service on port 5001)openclone-u-2-net(Image processing on port 5002)
run-all.bat: Single-command startup for entire development environment
- Current Issue: References incorrect paths (
../BatchScripts/instead of current directory) - Sequence: Launches all components in dependency order
- Pattern: Stops then starts each service for clean state
Docker/start.bat: Launches Docker Desktop and waits for daemon readiness
start "Docker Desktop" "C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\Docker Desktop.exe"
# Polls 'docker ps' until CONTAINER text appearsDatabase/start.bat: PostgreSQL container with smart reuse logic
# Uses openclone-database:1.0 image
# Port 5433 (not default 5432)
# Environment variables for credentials and configuration
# Supports both main OpenClone DB and logging DBOpenClone/start.bat: Main ASP.NET Core website
- Port: 8080 → container port 80
- Dependencies: Requires SadTalker and U-2-Net services running
- Configuration: Extensive environment variable setup (JWT, APIs, database)
- File System: Mounts OpenCloneFS for shared file storage
SadTalker/start.bat: AI-powered talking head generation
- Technology: Python service with GPU support (
--gpus all) - Port: 5001
- GPU Requirements: CUDA environment variables
- Smart Logic: Reuses existing container if available
U-2-Net/start.bat: Background removal and image segmentation
- Technology: Python service with GPU support
- Port: 5002
- Container Reuse: Checks for existing container before creating new one
WebPack/start.bat: Frontend development server
cd /d "%~dp0../../Website/OpenClone.UI/"
npm run devLogViewer Scripts: Python Flask monitoring application
- start-local.bat: Local development environment
- start-remote.bat: Remote/production environments
- Path: Uses Python virtual environment at
../../LogViewer/.venv/
Claude/start.bat: Unified Claude Code development environment launcher
- Functionality: Launches Claude Code, creates shared tmux session, starts screenshot watcher
- Components: Integrates three separate tools for seamless Claude Code collaboration
- Output: Three separate windows (Claude Code, tmux terminal, screenshot watcher)
Claude/screenshot-watcher.ps1: Automatic screenshot capture system
- Technology: PowerShell clipboard monitoring with duplicate detection
- Functionality: Automatically saves clipboard screenshots to
Screenshots/directory - Features: MD5 hash-based duplicate prevention, auto-cleanup on startup, mutex-based single instance
- Integration: Works with Claude Code's image reading capabilities
Claude/stop.bat: Cleanup script for Claude Code tools
- Functionality: Terminates tmux session and screenshot watcher processes
- Safety: Preserves Claude Code instance to prevent chat history loss
Required Environment Variables (OpenClone_ prefix), (these are subject to change but should give you an idea):
- Database: Connection strings, credentials
- Authentication: JWT configuration, Google OAuth
- APIs: OpenAI, ElevenLabs API keys
- Services: SadTalker, U-2-Net host addresses
- File System: OpenCloneFS path
- Windows with Docker Desktop
- NVIDIA Docker support for GPU-dependent AI services
- Node.js for WebPack development server
- Python virtual environments for LogViewer
