Control Codex on a VPS through direct SSH

CodexHarbor is an MIT-licensed Windows and Linux desktop client for running Codex against projects on a remote Linux VPS. Connect directly over SSH using OpenSSH or PPK private keys, encrypted keys with passphrases, password authentication, or your local SSH agent. Resume real Codex threads, stream commands and diffs, approve actions, switch models and sandbox policies, and inspect diagnostics. No public App Server port, hosted relay, or browser terminal.
managing remote setups for ai-assisted work is usually a mess of open ports and security risks. i love the idea of keeping everything behind ssh to stay secure while shipping. it definitely beats trying to sync local files to a server manually every five minutes. how do you handle the terminal output when things get noisy during a long build?
love that you kept this MIT and skipped the hosted relay entirely, the direct SSH model with key or agent support is exactly what i want for keeping my codebase private. diff streaming and model switching right in the client without a browser tab is a really thoughtful touch.
finally a way to run codex against my vps without exposing a port or dealing with browser terminals. the ssh key flow with passphrase support just worked, and diff streaming felt snappy on my small project.
