Connect Claude Code, ChatGPT and other AI agents securely to your own server: setup, permissions, limits and costs, with commands that run on every KernelHost server.
An AI agent with SSH access reads logs, deploys changes, tests and documents. This field report shows the connection in seven steps, our workflow for deployments to production systems, the security rules and what the server needs to bring along.
AI agents can maintain servers, analyze logs and run deployments. This article explains the difference from a traditional managed server, the three architectures, the non-negotiable security rules, typical workflows, the costs and why KernelHost servers are fully compatible.
From a fresh Debian or Ubuntu installation to a working AI agent: user and sudo allowlist, Node.js 22, installing and signing in to Claude Code, Codex CLI and Gemini CLI, rules files, cron jobs, first tasks and the typical errors.
