Am I understanding correctly that I still can't run a headless session on my VPS in a way that let's me use remote control for a better 1st party mobile experience that doesn't require my laptop to be awake?
I really don't want to have to boot into a whole desktop Ubuntu instance simply to run this.
I've gone as far as starting to build my own handoff layer with Hermes as I want to use codex purely for coding in a more isolated fashion and not have it co-mingle my memory and unrelated sensitive context and tool calls. The newly announced integration was so close to what I wanted and yet so far for anyone that wants to keep sensitive data separated.
I wish they offered a consumer zero data retention plan.
Nice - I've been considering re-subscribing to OpenAI to try out their new models. This is just the push I needed. Looking forward to trying it on Fedora 44.
I've been extracting the asar and using it for a while on linux, I rarely start it but it's nice that I can start a session in chatgpt and then move on to codex in the same UI.
It's packed with features, voice mode, browser. I'm not really the target audience..

They had a headless remote mode for a while, specifically for that purpose. Are you sure you checked well?
I have it open in a browser tab, and I have the codex cli. What are the features/advantages this has over the old way?
You can do remote control / handoff with it, i.e. start on desktop and move to mobile. doesn't work with the cli
Proper Markdown rendering?
the desktop ui is considerably nicer to use if you ever find yourself switching between terminal tabs

Wouldn't most linux users just use codex cli or codex vscode ? Does the app bring anything not available on codex ?
Yes, a GUI. There are various terminal multiplexers out there, but OpenAI wants you to use theirs.

Looking forward to the "here's the data they're exfiltrating" breakdowns.
Does it run a VM under the covers like the Claude desktop app does?
I've passed on the Claude desktop app for that reason, despite being curious about the "Routines" feature that isn't available in the Claude Code CLI.
isn’t strong sandbox a good thing?
Sure but it's resource intense enough it should be opt in, or only install if you're using cowork IMO.
For what I'm doing, using containers would be secure enough and much lighter weight.
VMs are not a secure sandbox
While VM breakouts have been created in the past, they're about as secure of sandbox as we've got!
Tell that to AWS Lambda and Google Compute Engine?
VMs are a secure sandbox. Containers aren't.
What are you talking about, of cause VMs are a secure sandbox
I much prefer Claude, but this move may actually get me to pay for a subscription again.
There's an unofficial version of cowork on Linux fyi - https://github.com/johnzfitch/claude-cowork-linux
but yes would greatly appreciate an official port

How do you somehow make a cross OS browser platform only work on one OS in the first place?
