maybe I'm misunderstanding but I don't want to sign into the app on a mac - I want to run the CLI on a headless linux server and control the sessions from my iPhone. Does Codex allow that now?
replyCodex isn't in charge of that.
replyJust use termux on your phone and connect to a tmux session on your server.
Codex won't know the difference.
I do that with Termux on my Android phone. I set up dynamic DNS and wireguard on my router so I can reach my LAN from anywhere. I just enable wireguard and ssh in.
replyNot sure if there's a Termux equivalent for iPhone.
You can do it too. There are two ways:
reply1. Run `codex remote-control --help` directly on your Linux server. 2. From the desktop app, connect to your Linux box, start Codex there, and make it remotely controllable.
Either approach will get you set up.
Ha, finally found time to get it working. Yeah it's more hassle than Claude Code since this needs a separate daemon server, but not very bad.
reply1. Install another copy of codex in a special dir on the Linux machine:
$ curl -fsSL https://chatgpt.com/codex/install.sh | sh
$ ~/.codex/packages/standalone/current/codex remote-control start
$ ~/.codex/packages/standalone/current/codex remote-control pair
4. Voila! The codex sessions running on the Linux machine now show up on the phone!
Hmm, I don't have a desktop computer. I prefer my laptop be used for other purposes, and can sleep when not in use, instead of running a coding agent 24x7. That's why I prefer running coding agents in the cloud.
replyYou can do that too. Start working locally, then just do /handoff to transfer your session to the cloud and then work through the Codex app on your phone.
