Feature Request - Remote Workspace Capabilities with Codex Desktop App

Codex
1

Problem

I run production/dev workloads on remote machines (Servers-OnPrem, Cloud VMs, Linux devices). Currently, Codex requires local execution, or indirect workflows via Git, or unstable vs code hacks. This adds friction for debugging, live system inspection, iterative development

Proposed Solution

Allow Codex to operate on a remote system via SSH. Have capabilities like read/write/run commands, analyze logs/patches proposed. User approval per session with sandboxing optional. it would be nice to work around github and vscode and be able to work straight to the source files without need the codex downloaded on every device.

Hey @RoMajor! This is a pretty interesting use case. Being able to work straight on a remote machine over SSH, without having to route everything through Git, VS Code, or local setup on every device, sounds like it could make that whole workflow a lot smoother.

Before I pass this along internally, could you share a bit more on these?

  1. What are you ultimately trying to accomplish, in your own words?
  2. What do you do today instead, and what about that isn’t working for you?
  3. If we solved this perfectly, what would be different for you or your team?
