Feature hasn't been suggested before.

  • I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.

Describe the enhancement you want to request

Adding compression on the OpenCode server that is supported on the desktop app would allow the server to serve content faster over SSH connections. Oftentimes when I'm using desktop app over SSH to the server, it takes quite a long time to open sessions because it's transmitting, as far as I can tell, all the data in plain text, which is quite large.

This issue might be related to existing discussions about server-client use-cases and SSH connections. Please check:

  • #7790: SSH-based remote server connections to OpenCode Desktop - discusses SSH tunneling and data transmission between server and desktop
  • #8890: Better support remote/server-client use-cases from the CLI - discusses distributed architecture and proxying scenarios that could benefit from compression
  • #8415: Connection on a remote server over Tailscale SSH hangs - reports performance issues with SSH connections that compression could help mitigate

Compression would be beneficial for these remote connection scenarios. Feel free to cross-reference if your use case relates to any of these.
