OpenChamber

OpenCode Connection

If OpenChamber loads but never gets past “OpenCode is restarting,” or chat won’t respond, the server it talks to isn’t reachable. Work through these.

It’s stuck on “OpenCode is restarting”

  • give it a moment right after launch — this state is normal while the server starts
  • check whether the server is alive with openchamber status
  • restart it with openchamber restart
  • view startup details with openchamber logs

You’re connecting to your own server

If you set OpenChamber to use an existing server, double-check the setup from OpenCode Server:

  • OPENCODE_HOST must include the port, with no path — for example http://localhost:4096
  • set OPENCODE_SKIP_START=true so OpenChamber doesn’t also start its own
  • if the address is invalid, OpenChamber ignores it and starts its own server instead — look for a [config] warning in the logs

Still failing

  • confirm Node.js is version 20 or newer
  • reinstall the latest CLI
  • open http://localhost:3000 directly before testing any tunnel or remote link
