 "title": "Pair a Linux machine running agents with your phone",
 "page_title": "How to pair a Linux machine running agents with your phone with Botbus Protocol",
 "summary": "Install BotBus on a Linux computer and pair it so agents on that box can be followed from your phone.",
 "who": "A developer who runs coding agents on a Linux workstation or server and wants the same phone control as a Mac user.",
 "problem": "The Mac menu bar pairing flow does not apply to a Linux machine, so the agents there are out of reach from a phone.",
 "outcome": "Your Linux computer is paired, and its agent tasks appear on the phone grouped by computer and project.",
 "steps": [
  "Open the Linux install guide at https://botbus.io/en/docs/install-linux and install BotBus for your architecture, x86_64 or aarch64.",
  "Run `botbus pair` on the Linux machine.",
  "Scan the QR code shown on the Linux machine with your phone.",
  "Start or open a Codex or Claude Code task on the Linux machine.",
  "Check that the task is listed on the phone under the Linux computer and its project."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "On the Linux host, run `botbus pair` and report the pairing status. Then list the tasks BotBus sees on that host, grouped by project, and note any host that is offline.",
 "agents": [
  "codex",
  "claude-code"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "45 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "Actions depend on connector support, task state and whether the computer is online, so an offline Linux host will not show live control.",
 "category": "Software and DevOps",
 "tags": [
  "Software and DevOps"
 ],
 "lang": "swift",
 "requirements": [
  "A Mac running macOS 26 or later, or a Linux machine (x86_64 or aarch64)",
  "An iPhone on iOS 26 or later, or an Android phone on Android 8.0 or later",
  "Codex or Claude Code installed on the computer that will run the tasks",
  "Xcode 27 on macOS 26 and Node.js 22 if you plan to build or test this repository"
