WebMuxInstall WebMux

Run OpenCode remotely with WebMux

WebMux runs OpenCode in a persistent terminal on the server, so you can close your laptop and continue the same process from a phone or another computer's browser.

1. Install and sign in to OpenCode

On the machine running WebMux, follow the official OpenCode docs (external link) to install it, and sign in as the same user that runs the WebMux service. WebMux does not install or sign in to CLIs and does not manage model keys.

2. Use the preset launch configuration

Interactive command
opencode
Preset arguments
--auto

In “New session → Pre-type”, pick this launch configuration, choose a directory or worktree and create the session. You can also start it from a terminal on the server, detach with Ctrl+] and continue on your phone:

webmux run -- opencode --auto

Upgrades never rewrite an existing launch-configs.json; if this CLI is missing, add it in “Settings → Launch configurations → New” with the command above. Presets use the “load shell startup files” wrapper so the CLI sees the PATH from ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc. Existing installs (Chinese)

3. Terminal, hybrid sessions and alerts

Terminal
Persistent PTY terminal: a browser disconnect does not end the process, and you can reconnect and replay the buffer; a service restart ends the session.
Hybrid session (chat ↔ terminal)
Supported. The preset has hybrid mode enabled, so the same conversation switches between terminal and chat views; OpenCode keeps the history itself. Requirements (Chinese)
“Needs you” alerts
According to its source, OpenCode 2.x reports OSC 7501 directly; no setup needed. Alert setup (Chinese)

4. Known limits

  • The preset --auto auto-approves tool calls; in hybrid sessions the TUI runs with --standalone and cannot see live events from other clients of a background server.
  • Verified with OpenCode 2.1.4 (2.2.0 has the same arguments).
