When the computer sleeps and wakes, the SSE/WS event stream drops
silently. Messages appeared sent (optimistic insert) but never reached
the OpenCode server, and the user had no indication the system was
disconnected.
Three fixes:
1. Connection state tracking: add onDisconnect callback to the event
pipeline. Stream failures set isConnected=false in useConfigStore;
successful reconnect sets isConnected=true.
2. Send guard: optimisticSend, respondToPermission, and
respondToQuestion now check isConnected before making API calls,
throwing a clear error that surfaces as a toast to the user.
The /compact command also checks connection with error feedback.
3. Faster server recovery: add triggerHealthCheck() to the server
lifecycle and wire it into the WS event stream runtime. When the
upstream OpenCode connection fails, the server immediately checks
health and restarts if needed, instead of waiting up to 15s for
the periodic health check.
Security note: binding to 0.0.0.0 exposes the server on all network interfaces — use only on trusted networks and protect with firewall rules or --ui-password.
Managed-local path note: OPENCHAMBER_TUNNEL_CONFIG must use a container path under /home/openchamber/.... If the config file references credentials-file, ensure that JSON path is also mounted and reachable inside the container.
Data directory: mount data/ for persistent storage. Ensure permissions:
openchamber # Runs in background by default
openchamber stop # Stop background server
systemd service (VPN / LAN access)
Use --foreground to keep the CLI process alive so systemd (or any other process manager) can track and restart it. Combine with OPENCODE_HOST to connect to an OpenCode instance running as a separate service.
Why set PATH and SSH_AUTH_SOCK?
systemd user services start with a minimal environment — no shell profile is sourced.
Without an explicit PATH, OpenCode won't find tools installed via Homebrew, npm, or ~/.local/bin.
Without SSH_AUTH_SOCK, git operations over SSH (push, pull, clone) will fail.
%t expands to $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR (e.g. /run/user/1000), where most SSH agents write their socket.
--host 0.0.0.0 is required to listen on all interfaces (the default is 127.0.0.1). Use --host <ip> or OPENCHAMBER_HOST=<ip> to bind to a specific interface instead.
