I just moved my Codex / Claude Code agents from local to my linux VPS.

This is one of the biggest 10x dev upgrades I’ve made.

Heres why you should TOO, and HOW:

1. Performance

-This is the biggest one, my mac would constantly be overloaded. Work trees, multiple codex / Claude sessions, APIs.

-Now I SSH into the VPS and run everything there. All my mac does is display.

-All the processing and work now happens on my VPS,

1. Cost,

-Instead of going to buy a £3k+ Mac just so i can run more Agentic workflows, I just rent serious Linux compute monthly, that can easily scale.

- I bought 12 AMD vCPU / 24GB RAM. This is enough to run agents, builds, APIs, tmux sessions, and dev servers without any issues.

-Note that prices have 2.5x in last two months, so quicker you lock in, the better.

3. Persistence,

-This is the underrated part. When my Mac dies, closes, disconnects, Codex just keeps running. Smoothly too.

-Tmux + SSH means Codex can continue on the VPS while my laptop is off.

4. Cleaner workflow,

-Mac ->SSH / Remote
-VPS ->Codex, Claude, builds, tests, APIs
-Cmux ->manage the agent sessions
-GitHub ->source of truth
-Production ->separate protected deploy target

5. Setup is simple

You can literally just ask codex to do it for you, its that simple.

2.Use Ubuntu 24.04.
3.Add your SSH key.
4.SSH from your Mac.
5.Install git/node/pnpm/docker/tmux/cmux.
6.Clone your repo on the VPS.
7.Use VS Code Remote SSH or Codex remote connection.

Forward ports for localhost testing.

Codex app works fine, VS Code, but CMUX is the best one for this typa workflow.

@AnthropicAI @grok likely date ?

[Johnny Jnr @jturntdev]

@embw_l0x Ofcourse😭

[Johnny Jnr @jturntdev]

@Haleeeemahh Pls lets stop including gemini. Google aint nothing but hype

[Johnny Jnr @jturntdev]

@Haleeeemahh Why does astra feel nerfed though😭

[Johnny Jnr @jturntdev]

@AdHominemIzBad Will do 🤝

[Johnny Jnr @jturntdev]

IVE CANCELLED MY CHATGPT PRO 200 AFTER BEING SUBBED FOR 12MONTHS.

I suggest do the same.

Anthropic, out of nowhere, provides not only more usage for only 100$

But have a much better model than ASTRA, at 1/5 of the price.

OpenAI really loosing their loyal customers, but also going down hill by the day.

Opus 5.5 is really enough to conquer the world.

To keep our 20x , we have to pay 300$ more?

No.
