Codex VPS
Codex VPS: a terminal that keeps working without you
OpenAI’s Codex CLI on a Linux VPS with root: leave it a job in tmux or scheduled with cron, and check it when you come back. Code and credentials stay on the server, in Buenos Aires.
- Codex CLI
- codex exec
- Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
- tmux
- cron
- systemd
- Git
- Docker
In short
OpenAI’s Codex CLI installs on a Linux VPS with one command and signs in with the customer’s account, even with no desktop, using `codex login --device-auth`. It runs interactively or unattended with `codex exec`, so it suits scheduled jobs. OpenAI asks for 4 GB of RAM and recommends 8: the VM4 ($ 53,820 a month) meets the minimum and the SH2 cloud server gets close to the recommendation.

The ChatGPT account or OpenAI API key is the customer’s and stays in their name. We provide the server, the IP and the operating system. The server is delivered unmanaged: we give you the commands from the official documentation and a VPS ready to run them, but installing, configuring, updating, backing up and securing the application is up to you or your technical team. We help you get started and with specific questions, and that does not replace administering the server.
Codex VPS
What you get
Unattended jobs
With codex exec the agent runs with nobody watching the screen: schedule it with cron or leave it as a systemd service.
A session that survives the drop
In tmux the job keeps going even if the connection drops, and you pick it up from any machine with one command.
Everything stays on the server
The repository, the credentials and the generated files live on the VPS, in our Buenos Aires datacenter, not on a laptop that gets lost or broken.
Next to what already runs
If your application is on our infrastructure, the agent works on the same network, without taking data outside.

Questions
Codex VPS questions
Do I need a ChatGPT subscription or an API key?
One of the two, and you bring it: Codex signs in with a paid ChatGPT account or an OpenAI API key. The credential is stored on the VPS, in your name.
How do I sign in on a server with no desktop?
With codex login --device-auth: the terminal shows a code that you confirm from the browser on your phone or computer, with nothing to open on the server.
Can I leave scheduled jobs?
Yes. codex exec runs without interaction, so you can call it from cron or a systemd service and leave the result in a file or a ticket.
Which plan do I need?
OpenAI asks for 4 GB of RAM and recommends 8. The VM4 ($ 53,820 a month) meets the minimum; if you are going to build or run containers alongside, an SH2 cloud server or above is a better fit.
Do you install and manage it?
The VPS is delivered with a clean Ubuntu 24.04 and the three commands on this page get it running. The server is unmanaged: installation, updates, backups and scheduled jobs are up to you or your team, as clause 22 of the terms and conditions states. If you get stuck, write to us and we will point you in the right direction.
