4 use cases

  • Run OpenCode on free keyless coding models

    Point OpenCode at a local daemon that serves free coding models with no account or API key.

    View prompt
    Using the bansos-router repo, install the CLI, run `bansos start --bg`, then run `bansos setup opencode` for <project path>. Expected output: a configured OpenCode setup and a non-empty list from `bansos models`. Verify by running `bansos doctor` and confirming it reports the daemon as reachable.

  • Use free models in Claude Code without API keys

    Route Claude Code's Haiku, Sonnet, and Opus tiers to free models through the local daemon.

    View prompt
    In the bansos-router repo, install the CLI, start the daemon with `bansos start --bg`, and run `bansos setup claude-code` for <project path>. Expected output: a Claude Code configuration that maps Haiku, Sonnet, and Opus tiers to free models. Verify by running `bansos ping` and confirming at least one model reports a live response.

  • Host the free model router in a Docker container

    Run the daemon in a container with a persistent data volume and a built-in healthcheck.

    View prompt
    Using the bansos-router repo, build the image with `docker build -t bansos-router .` and run it with the volume and port from the README. Expected output: a running container named bansos. Verify by opening `http://127.0.0.1:17070/healthz` and confirming the healthcheck responds.

  • Restrict requests to one approved upstream

    Turn on strict mode so only listed upstreams receive requests and pasted credentials are redacted.

    View prompt
    In the bansos-router repo, add the strict security block to ~/.bansos/config.json with allowedUpstreams set to <upstream name>, then restart with `bansos stop` and `bansos start --bg`. Expected output: `bansos models` lists only models from that upstream. Verify with `bansos doctor` that strict mode is reported.
