Question

Description:

Hi there,
I am currently using OpenCode on a remote server. My setup involves connecting to the server from a local Windows machine using VS Code (Remote-SSH).
I would like to know how to complete the authentication process in this remote environment. Since I am accessing the server through a remote terminal/VS Code, the typical browser-based authentication flow might not work as expected.
Could you please provide guidance or the recommended steps for authentication in this specific setup?

Environment:

  • Local OS: Windows
  • IDE: VS Code (Remote Development)
  • Remote OS: Linux (Server)
  • Tool: OpenCode
    Thank you!

Feel free to ignore if your specific use case differs from these issues.

What happens when you first

  • SSH into your server from your desktop
  • and run ˋopencodeˋ?

For connecting the web ui to an opencode server, we can use SSH's port forwarding.

  1. start opencode on server
    opencode serve --hostname localhost --port 4096

  2. forward ssh port on desktop

ssh -L 4096:localhost:4096 user@myserver.com

📌 Meaning
-L → forward a local port
4096 → port on your local machine
localhost:4096 → address/port on the remote server
user@myserver.com → SSH login to the server

After running this command, open in your browser:
http://localhost:4096
You will see the remote app from myserver.com:4096.
