# Always-on Remote Control
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Reference copy of a machine setup: Claude Code Remote Control running as its own system user `claude-rc`, so my
|
||||||
|
projects' read-only MCP servers (now: negsplit) can be used from the Claude app on the phone. One user and one
|
||||||
|
session (`data`) for all projects. The user holds only read-only database logins; Bash runs sandboxed without
|
||||||
|
network and can't read them (only the MCP servers, which run outside the sandbox, do). Nothing secret in this
|
||||||
|
folder: the ntfy topic lives only in `/etc/claude-rc-notify.env`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Needs `claude-code`, `bubblewrap`, `socat` and each project's MCP server installed. Per project:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- negsplit: the installed `negsplit` (with `python-mcp`) and the `garmin_ro` grants from its
|
||||||
|
`sql/garmin_ro_grants.sql`. A per-user query limit is a useful safety net (the session can lift it):
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
mariadb -u root -p -e "ALTER USER 'garmin_ro'@'localhost' WITH MAX_STATEMENT_TIME 30;"
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Setup
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Run from this folder. User and folders:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
doas useradd --system --create-home --home-dir /var/lib/claude-rc --shell /usr/bin/nologin claude-rc
|
||||||
|
doas chmod 700 /var/lib/claude-rc
|
||||||
|
doas install -d -o claude-rc -g claude-rc -m 700 /var/lib/claude-rc/.config /var/lib/claude-rc/.claude /var/lib/claude-rc/data /var/lib/claude-rc/data/.claude
|
||||||
|
doas install -o claude-rc -g claude-rc -m 644 mcp.json /var/lib/claude-rc/data/.mcp.json
|
||||||
|
doas install -o claude-rc -g claude-rc -m 644 project-settings.json /var/lib/claude-rc/data/.claude/settings.json
|
||||||
|
doas install -o claude-rc -g claude-rc -m 644 user-settings.json /var/lib/claude-rc/.claude/settings.json
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`strictAllowlist` must stay in the user settings: in project settings it has no effect.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Each project's config holds only a `[readonly]` section. negsplit (`garmin_ro`):
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
doas install -d -o claude-rc -g claude-rc -m 700 /var/lib/claude-rc/.config/negsplit
|
||||||
|
doas install -o claude-rc -g claude-rc -m 600 config.toml /var/lib/claude-rc/.config/negsplit/config.toml
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Log in, trust the folder and enable Remote Control once, interactively:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
doas -u claude-rc sh -c 'cd /var/lib/claude-rc/data && exec claude auth login'
|
||||||
|
doas -u claude-rc sh -c 'cd /var/lib/claude-rc/data && exec claude'
|
||||||
|
doas -u claude-rc sh -c 'cd /var/lib/claude-rc/data && exec claude remote-control --name data --spawn session'
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
ntfy topic for the failure alert (subscribe to it on ntfy.sh), then the units:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
doas sh -c 'umask 077; printf "NTFY_TOPIC=claude-rc-%s\n" "$(openssl rand -hex 16)" > /etc/claude-rc-notify.env'
|
||||||
|
doas install -m 644 claude-rc.service claude-rc-notify.service claude-rc-recover.service claude-rc-recover.timer -t /etc/systemd/system/
|
||||||
|
doas systemctl daemon-reload
|
||||||
|
doas systemctl enable --now claude-rc.service claude-rc-recover.timer
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The service restarts with a growing delay (30 s to 10 min); after about 50 minutes of failures it gives up and
|
||||||
|
sends the alert. The timer restarts it every 3 hours if it gave up, so a long network outage doesn't stop it for
|
||||||
|
good. After upgrading a project's MCP server, or changing `mcp.json` or the settings, restart `claude-rc.service`
|
||||||
|
so phone sessions use the new version.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Adding a project
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Add its server to `mcp.json` and `mcp__<server>` to the `allow` list in `project-settings.json` (plus a `Read` rule
|
||||||
|
for its chart folder, if any), install its `[readonly]` config as above, reinstall the changed files and restart
|
||||||
|
the service.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Dead login
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
doas systemctl stop claude-rc.service
|
||||||
|
doas -u claude-rc sh -c 'cd /var/lib/claude-rc/data && exec claude auth login'
|
||||||
|
doas systemctl reset-failed claude-rc.service
|
||||||
|
doas systemctl start claude-rc.service
|
||||||
|
```
