 "title": "Run coding agents on a VPS or remote server",
 "page_title": "How to run coding agents on a VPS or remote server with Vicoa",
 "summary": "Connect a remote Linux machine so agents run there while you start them from your desktop or phone.",
 "who": "A developer whose code lives on a VPS or remote server and who wants agents to run close to that code.",
 "problem": "Agents on a laptop cannot easily work on code that lives on a remote server.",
 "outcome": "The remote machine appears as a choice when you start a session, and the agent runs on it next to the code.",
 "steps": [
  "On the VPS, install the Vicoa CLI with `npm i -g @vicoa/cli` (Node.js 18+ required), or use `pip install vicoa` on systems where npm is not suitable.",
  "Install and sign in to the agent CLI you want to use on the VPS, such as `claude` or `codex`.",
  "Run `vicoa daemon` on the VPS to connect that machine to your account.",
  "On your desktop or phone, click **New Session**, pick the VPS as the machine, the agent, and enter your prompt."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using the vicoa-ai/vicoa repo, connect the VPS at <server-address> as a Vicoa machine and start a Codex session on <remote-project-path>. Confirm the VPS appears as a machine option and the session starts there. Report the machine name and session status.",

 "difficulty": "Advanced",
 "time": "1 hour",

 "lang": "python",
 "requirements": [
  "At least one supported agent CLI installed and signed in on the machine that runs agents",
  "A Vicoa account for the desktop and mobile apps",
  "Node.js 18+ for the npm CLI, or pip on Intel Macs or old glibc systems"
