title: Web
description: Using OpenCode in your browser.
---
OpenCode can run as a web application in your browser, providing the same powerful AI coding experience without needing a terminal.

## Getting Started
Start the web interface by running:
```bash
opencode web
```
This starts a local server on `127.0.0.1` with a random available port and automatically opens OpenCode in your default browser.
:::caution
If `OPENCODE_SERVER_PASSWORD` is not set, the server will be unsecured. This is fine for local use but should be set for network access.

## Configuration
You can configure the web server using command line flags or in your [config file](/docs/config).
### Port
By default, OpenCode picks an available port. You can specify a port:
```bash
opencode web --port 4096
```
### Hostname
By default, the server binds to `127.0.0.1` (localhost only). To make OpenCode accessible on your network:
```bash
opencode web --hostname 0.0.0.0
```
When using `0.0.0.0`, OpenCode will display both local and network addresses:
```
Local access: http://localhost:4096
Network access: http://192.168.1.100:4096
```
### mDNS Discovery
Enable mDNS to make your server discoverable on the local network:
```bash
opencode web --mdns
```
This automatically sets the hostname to `0.0.0.0` and advertises the server as `opencode.local`.
### CORS
To allow additional domains for CORS (useful for custom frontends):
```bash
opencode web --cors https://example.com
```
### Authentication
To protect access, set a password using the `OPENCODE_SERVER_PASSWORD` environment variable:
```bash
OPENCODE_SERVER_PASSWORD=secret opencode web
```
The username defaults to `opencode` but can be changed with `OPENCODE_SERVER_USERNAME`.

## Using the Web Interface
Once started, the web interface provides access to your OpenCode sessions.
### Sessions
View and manage your sessions from the homepage. You can see active sessions and start new ones.

### Server Status
Click "See Servers" to view connected servers and their status.

## Attaching a Terminal
You can attach a terminal TUI to a running web server:
```bash
# Start the web server
opencode web --port 4096
# In another terminal, attach the TUI
opencode attach http://localhost:4096
```
This allows you to use both the web interface and terminal simultaneously, sharing the same sessions and state.
---
## Config File
You can also configure server settings in your `opencode.json` config file:
```json
{
"server": {
"port": 4096,
"hostname": "0.0.0.0",
"mdns": true,
"cors": ["https://example.com"]
}
}
```
Command line flags take precedence over config file settings.
