Openwrk

Headless host orchestrator for OpenCode + OpenWork server + Owpenbot. This is a CLI-first way to run host mode without the desktop UI.

Quick start

npm install -g openwrk
openwrk start --workspace /path/to/workspace --approval auto

openwrk ships as a compiled binary, so Bun is not required at runtime.

openwrk installs the OpenWork server dependency automatically. No extra install needed.

Or from source:

pnpm --filter openwrk dev -- \
  start --workspace /path/to/workspace --approval auto

The command prints pairing details (OpenWork server URL + token, OpenCode URL + auth) so remote OpenWork clients can connect.

Pairing notes

  • Use the OpenWork connect URL and client token to connect a remote OpenWork client.
  • The OpenWork server advertises the OpenCode connect URL plus optional basic auth credentials to the client.

Approvals (manual mode)

openwrk approvals list \
  --openwork-url http://<host>:8787 \
  --host-token <token>

openwrk approvals reply <id> --allow \
  --openwork-url http://<host>:8787 \
  --host-token <token>

Health checks

openwrk status \
  --openwork-url http://<host>:8787 \
  --opencode-url http://<host>:4096

Smoke checks

openwrk start --workspace /path/to/workspace --check --check-events

This starts the services, verifies health + SSE events, then exits cleanly.

Local development

Point to source CLIs for fast iteration:

openwrk start \
  --workspace /path/to/workspace \
  --openwork-server-bin packages/server/src/cli.ts \
  --owpenbot-bin packages/owpenbot/src/cli.ts
