Running Claude Code Remote Control on a Cloud Server via RAgent
A developer has shared a method for running Claude Code's Remote Control feature from a cloud server instead of a local laptop, addressing the common problem where laptop sleep terminates the session.
How It Works
The approach uses RAgent, an open-source project that runs Claude Code in a Docker container. The developer deployed RAgent to Railway, which offers one-click deployment for Docker projects. After deployment, they accessed the web terminal on Railway to run two commands: claude login followed by claude remote-control. This generated a QR code that could be scanned from the Claude mobile app to establish the remote control session.
Key Benefits
- The session runs on the server, so it remains active regardless of whether the local laptop is on, off, or asleep.
- Access is through the Claude mobile app, which provides a better user experience than using a terminal in a phone browser.
- The setup effectively turns a $5/month VPS into an always-on Claude Code machine that can be controlled from anywhere.
Note that the Remote Control feature requires a Claude Pro or Max subscription plan.
The RAgent repository is available at https://github.com/Chris-bzst/ragent for those who want to try this setup.
