# Set up Duaer orgifyDesk on a self-hosted instance
Self-hosted Duaer configures Duaer orgifyDesk in its setup wizard in Settings. Sandbox and web search are optional. Prepare environment variables before startup.
## Wizard and environment variables
1. Open Settings and go to the Duaer orgifyDesk setup wizard.
2. Enable it with the wizard, or preset the model environment variables first.
3. Restart Duaer and confirm Duaer orgifyDesk appears and responds.
Cloud notes live under [orgifyDesk on cloud](/manage-cloud/ai-assistant.md). Do not mix that page with this one.
## Configure a sandbox provider
The sandbox lets Duaer orgifyDesk run steps that need a trial execution in isolation. When the wizard configures a sandbox provider, its note links here. Choose Daytona or the sandbox type the UI lists.
Without a sandbox, actions that need one are unavailable or show a warning. That does not mean all of Duaer orgifyDesk is broken.
## Enable web search
When Duaer orgifyDesk should search the public web, turn on web search in the wizard. The note links here. After it is on, Duaer orgifyDesk can make search tool calls. When it is off, it does not.
