This specialist profile runs the official LTX Desktop 1.2.7 application in a browser-accessible private desktop. The image is pinned to the release checksum. Application data, downloaded models and outputs persist below /data/video/ltx-desktop.

The profile controller starts only the container labelled com.mike-ai.video-worker=ltx2. Starting it stops every LLM, image, speech, music, voice and 3D GPU worker first. The UI is reachable only through Athena's WireGuard gateway at http://192.168.1.212:8015.

The RTX 5080 has the official minimum of 16 GiB VRAM for LTX Desktop local generation. Start with LTX Fast, 720p or below and at most about ten seconds. Model downloads may require accepting Lightricks' model license and signing in to Hugging Face in the application.

The image installs a narrow tar wrapper that ignores uid/gid metadata in the official first-run Python archive. This keeps cap_drop: [ALL] intact while allowing the archive, whose entries belong to build user 1001, to be extracted.

The backend uses stable port 41955. Hugging Face OAuth can therefore run in a normal client browser through a local SSH tunnel to the container instead of requiring a browser or storing login credentials inside the VNC desktop. The container port is published only on Athena's 127.0.0.1; it is not exposed on Athena's LAN or WireGuard interfaces.
