You can do it too. There are two ways:

1. Run `codex remote-control --help` directly on your Linux server. 2. From the desktop app, connect to your Linux box, start Codex there, and make it remotely controllable.

Either approach will get you set up.

Ha, finally found time to get it working. Yeah it's more hassle than Claude Code since this needs a separate daemon server, but not very bad.

1. Install another copy of codex in a special dir on the Linux machine:

  $ curl -fsSL https://chatgpt.com/codex/install.sh | sh
2. Run codex remote-control from that special dir to start and pair the daemon:

  $ ~/.codex/packages/standalone/current/codex remote-control start

  $ ~/.codex/packages/standalone/current/codex remote-control pair
3. On the phone, open ChatGPT app, Choose Remote, then pair it with the code printed above.

4. Voila! The codex sessions running on the Linux machine now show up on the phone!
