Run Codex in the cloud – DigitalOcean for Codex is now available

DigitalOcean has introduced a new plugin for Codex, now available in Public Preview, which simplifies the process of setting up persistent remote development environments on their cloud platform. This plugin allows developers to create and connect Codex-ready cloud machines directly from within the Codex app using natural language, eliminating the need for manual setup of servers and configurations. By integrating with DigitalOcean, users can easily provision a pre-configured Droplet with the Codex CLI and necessary programming tools, enabling work to continue seamlessly even when away from a desk. The plugin supports functionalities such as configuring environments, installing dependencies, and managing multiple cloud machines, all accessible through the Codex interface or the ChatGPT mobile app, thus enhancing remote development capabilities and flexibility.
