Firetower Runs Coding Agents Remotely
Firetower is an open-source, self-hosted control plane for running Claude Code, Codex, and other coding agents on machines you control. It manages isolated Git worktrees over SSH, letting developers monitor and resume long-running agent sessions from desktop or mobile.
Firetower targets the real bottleneck in agentic coding: keeping autonomous work alive after the laptop closes. Its sovereignty-first architecture is compelling, though the project remains early-stage infrastructure that demands operational comfort.
- –Workers run agents inside tmux and isolated worktrees, preserving progress across disconnects and crashes
- –SSH-based orchestration keeps workers off the public internet and lets teams bring their own servers and subscriptions
- –Desktop and mobile access makes multi-agent supervision practical without turning the developer’s laptop into the execution layer
- –AGPL licensing and self-hosting appeal to teams with privacy, compliance, or compute-control requirements
- –The GitHub project warns of breaking changes and bugs, so production adoption should wait for more maturity
