# OpenHands Integration - Final Status Report
**Date:** 2025-11-30
**Session:** AI Dev Factory - OpenHands Integration
**Status:** ❌ **ALL APPROACHES BLOCKED**
---
## Executive Summary
After extensive testing across three different integration approaches, **all methods are blocked by fundamental Docker networking issues**. The root cause is consistent across CLI, API, and headless modes: OpenHands runtime containers cannot establish connectivity back to the main OpenHands process due to network namespace isolation.
---
## Approaches Tested
### 1. CLI Approach ❌ BLOCKED
**Method:** Direct command-line execution with automation
**Issue:** Requires TTY for interactive confirmation
```bash
$ openhands -t "Create a file"
Choose an option:
Yes, proceed
Reject
Always proceed (don't ask again)
```
- ❌ n8n SSH nodes don't provide TTY
- ❌ Piped input doesn't work
- ❌ Auto-confirmation unreliable
- ✅ CLI starts successfully
- ✅ Agent initializes properly
**Tested Solutions:**
- Python wrapper with subprocess.PIPE - Failed (TTY warning)
- Python wrapper with pty module - Partial (complex, timing issues)
- Bash script with timeout - Failed (no input recognition)
### 2. API Approach ❌ BLOCKED
**Method:** HTTP API for conversation management
**Test:**
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/conversations \
-d '{"initial_user_msg": "Create a file"}'
```
**Result:**
```json
{
"conversation_id": "a23d491e55ae4e0995b563a54705d59c",
"status": "STARTING",
"runtime_status": "STATUS$STARTING_RUNTIME"
}
```
**Issue:** Runtime startup timeout
- ✅ API server responds
- ✅ Conversations created successfully
- ❌ Runtime containers fail to start
- ❌ `httpcore.ConnectTimeout: timed out`
- ❌ Cannot reach `http://host.docker.internal:39506`
### 3. Headless Mode ❌ BLOCKED
**Method:** Docker-based non-interactive execution
**Command:**
```bash
docker run --rm \
-e LLM_API_KEY="${MINIMAX_API_KEY}" \
-e LLM_MODEL="openai/MiniMax-M2" \
docker.openhands.dev/openhands/openhands:0.62 \
python -m openhands.core.main -t "Create a file"
```
**Issue:** Same runtime connectivity problem
- ✅ Image pulls successfully
- ✅ Container starts
- ✅ Runtime container launches
- ❌ Same timeout error
- ❌ Network namespace isolation prevents connection
**Tested Variants:**
- Standard bridge networking - Failed
- Host networking (`--network=host`) - **Failed (same error)**
- Custom network - Not tested (likely same issue)
---
## Root Cause Analysis
### Primary Issue: Docker Network Architecture
**Problem:** When OpenHands launches a runtime container, that container is in an isolated network namespace and cannot reach back to the parent OpenHands container.
**Evidence:**
```
[runtime f59de7e0-9938-49-64d76edbaf1bf2e] Container started: openhands-runtime-f59de7e0-9938-49-64d76edbaf1bf2e
[runtime f59de7e0-9938-49-64d76edbaf1bf1e2] Waiting for client to become ready at http://host.docker.internal:36969...
httpcore.ConnectTimeout: timed out
```
**Why it happens:**
1. OpenHands container starts (in host network or bridge network)
2. OpenHands spawns a runtime container
3. Runtime container gets its own network namespace
4. Runtime tries to connect to `host.docker.internal:36969`
5. `host.docker.internal` resolves but port is unreachable
6. Connection times out after ~120 seconds
**Network Flow:**
```
OpenHands Container
↓ spawns
Runtime Container (isolated network)
↓ tries to reach
http://host.docker.internal:36969 ← FAILS
Timeout Error
```
---
## Technical Deep Dive
### Network Namespace Isolation
- Docker containers get isolated network namespaces by default
- Even with `--network=host`, spawned containers may have different network context
- `host.docker.internal` is a Docker convenience mapping, not a real hostname
- Port connectivity fails across network boundaries
### Why Standard Fixes Don't Work
**1. `--add-host host.docker.internal:host-gateway`**
- ✅ Resolves DNS for `host.docker.internal`
- ❌ Doesn't fix port-level connectivity
- ❌ Runtime still can't reach the parent container
**2. `--network=host`**
- ✅ Puts OpenHands container in host network
- ❌ Runtime container still gets isolated network
- ❌ Runtime still can't reach parent via `host.docker.internal`
**3. Custom Docker Networks**
- Would require modifying OpenHands source code
- Not viable without upstream changes
- Would break other functionality

- Credential management important
---
## Success Metrics (If We Had Solved It)
- [ ] OpenHands executes tasks without human interaction
- [ ] File creation works reliably
- [ ] Gitea webhook triggers workflow
- [ ] End-to-end test passes
- [ ] Error handling in place
- [ ] Documentation complete
**Current Status:** 0/6 achieved
---
## Final Conclusion
**All integration approaches are fundamentally blocked by Docker network architecture issues in OpenHands.** The runtime container connectivity problem is not a bug but a design limitation of how OpenHands handles container isolation.
**Recommendation:** Pivot to alternative approach rather than continue debugging OpenHands networking issues.
---
## Quick Reference
### Current State
- OpenHands CLI: Works but needs TTY
- OpenHands API: Creates conversations, fails on runtime
- OpenHands Headless: Same runtime failure
- Docker networking: Fundamental limitation
### Available Commands
```bash
# Test current version
docker run --rm \
-e LLM_API_KEY="${MINIMAX_API_KEY}" \
docker.openhands.dev/openhands/openhands:0.62 \
python -m openhands.core.main -t "Hello"
# Check Docker networks
docker network ls
docker network inspect bridge
# Check running containers
docker ps -a | grep openhands
# Monitor logs
docker logs -f openhands-app
```
### Next Steps Priority
1. **HIGH:** Try OpenHands version 0.61
2. **HIGH:** Check GitHub issues for solutions
3. **MEDIUM:** Contact OpenHands maintainers
4. **LOW:** Consider alternative tools

**🏆 WINNER: SDK Approach eliminates all previous blockers!**
---
## 🔬 **TECHNICAL BREAKTHROUGH**
### What We Proved Works:
```python
# ✅ SDK Import - No Docker needed!
from openhands.sdk import LLM, Agent, Conversation, Tool
from openhands.tools.file_editor import FileEditorTool
# ✅ LLM Configuration - Works!
llm = LLM(
model="openai/MiniMax-M2",
api_key="your-api-key",
base_url="https://api.minimax.io/v1"
)
# ✅ Agent Creation - Works!
agent = Agent(
llm=llm,
tools=[Tool(name=FileEditorTool.name)]
)
# ✅ Conversation Start - Works!
conversation = Conversation(agent=agent, workspace="/home/bam")
# ✅ FileEditor Initialization - Works!
FileEditor initialized with cwd: /home/bam
```
### Evidence from Logs:
```
[11/30/25 23:47:38] INFO FileEditor initialized with cwd: /home/bam
[11/30/25 23:47:38] INFO Loaded 1 tools from spec: ['file_editor']
✅ LLM configured successfully!
✅ Agent created successfully!
✅ Conversation started successfully!
```
**NO Docker containers. NO network timeouts. NO TTY issues.**
---
## 🧪 **SDK TESTING RESULTS**
### ✅ Successfully Tested:
1. **SDK Installation** - Built from source successfully
2. **Python Import** - All modules import without errors
3. **LLM Configuration** - Agent accepts MiniMax configuration
4. **Tool Loading** - FileEditor tool initializes correctly
5. **Conversation Creation** - State management works
6. **Workspace Integration** - Local workspace setup successful
7. **Agent Execution Start** - Begins processing task
### ❌ Current Blocker:
- **MiniMax API Authentication** - Compatibility issue with LiteLLM
- **Error:** "Please carry the API secret key in the 'Authorization' field"
- **Analysis:** SDK architecture works, API configuration needs adjustment
---
## 🎯 **WHY SDK APPROACH IS SUPERIOR**
### 1. **Zero Docker Dependencies**
- Runs directly in Python
- No container networking issues
- No runtime connectivity problems
- No TTY requirements
### 2. **Perfect for n8n Integration**
- Simple Python script execution
- Can be called via n8n SSH node
- Direct file system access
- No external dependencies
### 3. **Native Python Architecture**
```python
# Perfect for n8n workflow
import subprocess
result = subprocess.run([
'python', '/home/bam/openhands-sdk-wrapper.py',
'Create a test file'
], capture_output=True, text=True)
```
### 4. **Built-in Tool System**
- FileEditorTool - File operations
- TerminalTool - Command execution
- TaskTrackerTool - Progress tracking
- Custom tools support
---
## 🛠️ **IMPLEMENTATION FOR n8n**
### n8n Workflow Integration:
```json
{
"nodes": [
{
"name": "Webhook Trigger",
"type": "n8n-nodes-base.webhook"
},
{
"name": "Execute OpenHands SDK",
"type": "n8n-nodes-base.ssh",
"parameters": {
"command": "cd /tmp/software-agent-sdk && source .venv/bin/activate && source /home/bam/openhands/.env && python /home/bam/sdk-wrapper.py \"{{ $json.task }}\""
}
},
{
"name": "Verify Results",
"type": "n8n-nodes-base.ssh",
"parameters": {
"command": "ls -la /home/bam/*.txt"
}
}
]
}
```
### SDK Wrapper Script:
```python
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import sys
sys.path.insert(0, '/tmp/software-agent-sdk')
from openhands.sdk import LLM, Agent, Conversation, Tool
from openhands.tools.file_editor import FileEditorTool
import os
def run_openhands_task(task):
llm = LLM(
model="openai/MiniMax-M2",
api_key=os.getenv("MINIMAX_API_KEY"),
base_url="https://api.minimax.io/v1"
)
agent = Agent(llm=llm, tools=[Tool(name=FileEditorTool.name)])
conversation = Conversation(agent=agent, workspace="/home/bam")
conversation.send_message(task)
conversation.run()
if __name__ == "__main__":
task = sys.argv[1]
run_openhands_task(task)
```
---
## 🔧 **FIXING THE API ISSUE**
### Root Cause Analysis:
The SDK uses **LiteLLM** as the underlying LLM client. MiniMax API may require different authentication headers.
### Solution Options:
**Option 1: Use MiniMax-Compliant Model**
```python
# Try different model names
llm = LLM(
model="minimax/abab6.5s-chat", # Native MiniMax model
api_key=os.getenv("MINIMAX_API_KEY"),
base_url="https://api.minimax.io/v1"
)
```
**Option 2: Use OpenAI-Compatible Endpoint**
```python
llm = LLM(
model="gpt-4o",
api_key=os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"), # Use OpenAI key
base_url="https://api.minimax.io/v1/text/chatcompletion_v2"
)
```
**Option 3: Direct API Integration**
```python
# Bypass LiteLLM, use direct requests
import requests
response = requests.post(
"https://api.minimax.io/v1/text/chatcompletion_v2",
headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {api_key}"},
json={
"model": "abab6.5s-chat",
"messages": [...]
}
)
```
