My setup is as follows: I have a very cheap VPS in Austria where I run opencode serve via sysctl --user in server mode. Through sysctl I also manage three OpenCode Telegram bots for different projects.

One of these bots is called AMA; it always runs in plan mode, and I frequently create new sessions. The other bots are used mainly for chatting in plan mode with the audio service, which is a very nice feature. I heavily use them to plan & create github issues - and eventually work on some.

I use Groq with the Turbo Transcriber, and it is amazingly fast — highly recommended. The free tier is generous; I use far less than the 8 hours of audio per day it allows.

I work on Android projects and have a bloated test suite. I run emulator tests for all required API versions using XVFB (the virtual frame‑buffer server), which is tedious and time‑consuming. I start the agent, and sometimes only after several hours — or even a day — do I see output.

I also have a development machine at my desk where I code. Some OpenCode features are not yet exposed to the Telegram bot, such as monitoring subs or changing the reasoning effort of the models. It is fine to work on a local OpenCode instance, and I prefer not to do some things remotely via SSH to the VPS. The main reason is that I need a real window; some of my tests fail on the framebuffer server.

Overall, OpenCode is a very helpful companion — a bridge to OpenCode that I greatly appreciate and enjoy. Thank you.
