    @andrei-brz , @sprookie , @oe3gwu , guys, I implemented this and have been using it in my own OpenCode build. It seems to be working well. I opened PR #40843

    OpenCode Desktop v2 can connect to a remote machine over SSH. Open the command palette and choose Add SSH server, or go to the server settings and pick + Add server → Add SSH server. Hosts from ~/.ssh/config can be selected. Desktop installs a matching OpenCode CLI on the remote host (under ~/.opencode/desktop-ssh/<version>) and tunnels to it, so sessions run on the remote machine and its files.

    Added in #47753.

    Closing as completed. If something doesn't work on v2, please open a new issue.
