Getting Started

Web

OpenCode can run as a web application in your browser, providing the same powerful AI coding experience without needing a terminal.

OpenCode Web - New Session

Start the web interface by running:

Terminal
opencode web

This starts a local server on 127.0.0.1 with a random available port and automatically opens OpenCode in your default browser.


You can configure the web server using command line flags or in your config file.

By default, OpenCode picks an available port. You can specify a port:

Terminal
opencode web --port 4096

By default, the server binds to 127.0.0.1 (localhost only). To make OpenCode accessible on your network:

Terminal
opencode web --hostname 0.0.0.0

When using 0.0.0.0, OpenCode will display both local and network addresses:

  Local access:       http://localhost:4096
  Network access:     http://192.168.1.100:4096

Enable mDNS to make your server discoverable on the local network:

Terminal
opencode web --mdns

This automatically sets the hostname to 0.0.0.0 and advertises the server as opencode.local.

You can customize the mDNS domain name to run multiple instances on the same network:

Terminal
opencode web --mdns --mdns-domain myproject.local

To allow additional domains for CORS (useful for custom frontends):

Terminal
opencode web --cors https://example.com

To protect access, set a password using the OPENCODE_SERVER_PASSWORD environment variable:

Terminal
OPENCODE_SERVER_PASSWORD=secret opencode web

The username defaults to opencode but can be changed with OPENCODE_SERVER_USERNAME.


Once started, the web interface provides access to your OpenCode sessions.

View and manage your sessions from the homepage. You can see active sessions and start new ones.

OpenCode Web - Active Session

Click “See Servers” to view connected servers and their status.

OpenCode Web - See Servers


You can attach a terminal TUI to a running web server:

Terminal
# Start the web server
opencode web --port 4096

# In another terminal, attach the TUI
opencode attach http://localhost:4096

This allows you to use both the web interface and terminal simultaneously, sharing the same sessions and state.


You can also configure server settings in your opencode.json config file:

JSON
{
  "server": {
    "port": 4096,
    "hostname": "0.0.0.0",
    "mdns": true,
    "cors": ["https://example.com"]
  }
}

Command line flags take precedence over config file settings.
