Run OpenCode From Any Device with Tailscale

TIL that I can run OpenCode on my server and access it from any of my devices (laptop/phone) securely via Tailscale.

This is useful because I can edit code, push changes, and add new changes while being on any device (not necessary on the server itself)

1) Install Tailscale

curl -fsSL https://tailscale.com/install.sh | sh

2) Add devices to your Tailscale network

Install Tailscale on each device and link/sign in with the same account on the Tailscale website.

Only the devices connected to your Tailnet can access the OpenCode server.

3) Run OpenCode on your always-on server

I run it in tmux, but you can also create a systemd service for reliability.

opencode serve --hostname 0.0.0.0

4) Access opencode on your phone

I can now access opencode by visiting the hostname:port of my server
