Use opencode Desktop with a Prized box

opencode Desktop can run its sessions on a Linux machine you reach over SSH. Add your box as that server, and the agent builds and tests on the box instead of your laptop.

11. Start a box

It signs you up, starts a box, and adds it to your SSH config (Quickstart). Use your box's name in place of mango (prized box ls lists them), and check that plain ssh reaches it:

ssh mango echo ok
# ok

22. Keep the box awake

An opencode server waiting for you counts as idle, so on the free credit the box pauses after 2 hours idle (never in its first 24 hours), and Desktop can't wake it. Switch auto-pause off for this box, or set a longer window such as 12h (Auto-pause):

33. Add the box in opencode Desktop

Open the command palette, choose Add SSH server, enter mango as the host, and connect. Desktop installs a matching opencode server on the box over your ssh, so there is nothing to install there first. Then open a project folder on the box, and connect a model provider for this server the first time, as you would locally.

If the box paused

prized box resume mango --wait wakes it; then choose Reconnect in Desktop. A Medium or larger restarts on waking, so a turn that was running stops (Pause and resume).
