How to monitor agent sessions and run tests from a phone with Roamgate

Check agent activity, run commands in a terminal, and preview output on a phone while away from the desk.

Credentials. Running commands from a phone gives full terminal control, so use a strong login and only expose Roamgate to devices you trust.

Who it is forA developer who has agents running long tasks and wants to check progress, run tests, or view an HTML preview from a phone.

The problemLong agent runs leave you guessing about progress, and checking requires being back at the computer.

The outcomeAgent activity, terminal output, test results, and HTML previews are visible on a phone through the same Roamgate session.

What you need first

  • A running Herdr server (the README says Roamgate requires one)
  • Linux, macOS, or Windows machine to host Roamgate
  • A browser on the computer and, for mobile use, a phone on the same reachable network or a private remote access setup you have configured
  • Bun 1.4.3 or newer, only if you run Roamgate from source

Steps

  1. Start Herdr with the agent sessions you want to monitor.
  2. Run roamgate on the host machine and confirm the printed URL works in a desktop browser.
  3. Run roamgate url --qr and scan the code with your phone to open Roamgate.
  4. Open the agent session to check activity and inspect the conversation.
  5. Open the terminal to run a test command, then open the HTML preview to see the result.

Prompt for your agent

Using the powerfooI/roamgate README, connect to the Roamgate instance at <roamgate URL> and report the status of the agent session named <session name>. Include the latest terminal output and whether tests passed. Verify the status matches what the Herdr session shows before reporting.

Caveat. Roamgate controls terminals and real files, and the README says to keep the default loopback binding and read SECURITY.md before giving another device access.
