I simply bring my laptop with me and a hotspot.
Why not just use the Claude app, and remote desktop?
Why does this need a $210/mo VM?
tried recreating this but I don't see Poke's webhook stuff on the docs
Guys checkout Catnip, it uses GitHub workspaces so it’s free and it has a mobile app.
Free and seamless setup!
Or just install the GitHub action
A VM that cost 7 EUR per day? Or is that his price for claude?
I did much similar with Tailscale over summer.
But anthropic has since launched the ability to “teleport” sessions to mobile. (Claude Code is baked into the app). The iOS experience has been smooth for the most part.
People keep saying things like “2026 is the year of background agents, sandboxes, etc” but imo the harness will eat the entire platform stack. It already is. It will only get better.
Has not discovered Clawdbot yet.
I run Claude code directly on Termux and it runs like a dream. My projects are mounted on a private S3 folder with rclone.
“ Worst case: Claude does something unexpected on a disposable VM.”
.. with a valid SSH key unless I’m reading it wrong?
Hah, I set up basically the same thing on Saturday during a long car ride. Couple of differences: I’m an opencode user and I used a different VPS provider (though I use vultr for other things). It was my first time actually sitting down and using tailscale, which was quite easy to get going. Did everything from my phone, didn’t even have my laptop with me.

Except that you are doing anything else but coding here. Coding involves writing code, which isn't actually done by the author here.
Claude Code mobile app + GitHub app? Works well enough.
the future

What happens when your tailscale session expires? Or if tailscale dies. How do you log back in to fix it?
