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?

You can do it too. There are two ways:

1. 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.

1. Install another copy of codex in a special dir on the Linux machine:

  $ curl -fsSL https://chatgpt.com/codex/install.sh | sh

2. Run codex remote-control from that special dir to start and pair the daemon:

  $ ~/.codex/packages/standalone/current/codex remote-control start

  $ ~/.codex/packages/standalone/current/codex remote-control pair

3. On the phone, open ChatGPT app, Choose Remote, then pair it with the code printed above.

4. Voila! The codex sessions running on the Linux machine now show up on the phone!

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.

Not sure if there's a Termux equivalent for iPhone.

iSH for iPhone: https://ish.app

Free, OSS, pretty great for ssh via VPN => tmux a => codex/claude

I set up Codex to send a notification when done over Pushover (https://pushover.net). With this setup, you can just ssh into a Mac or Linux box either way.

This is awesome! Thank you.

Codex isn't in charge of that.

Just use termux on your phone and connect to a tmux session on your server.

Codex won't know the difference.
