Claude Code VPS

Claude Code VPS: your development environment, on the server side

A Linux VPS with root where your repository, its dependencies and the agent all live together. Log in over SSH from whatever machine you have at hand, leave Claude Code working inside a tmux session and come back later to read the result.

The short answer

Claude Code is Anthropic’s terminal agent and it can run entirely inside a Linux VPS: one command installs it, you sign in with your own account, and it stays open in a tmux session, so the work keeps going after you close the laptop or lose your connection. At SISArgentina the VPS ships with Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, root SSH access and a static Argentine IP from our Buenos Aires datacenter. We suggest starting on the VM3 plan; the Anthropic subscription or API key is yours to bring.

What you get

Your laptop stops being the environment

The repository, its dependencies, the test database and the running processes all stay on the server. Switch machines, log in over SSH and find everything exactly as you left it.

Big repositories without punishing your machine

Cloning, installing dependencies, indexing and building all happen on the VPS CPU and its RAID 10 SSD storage. Your computer only draws the terminal.

Next to the database and the site

If your application already runs in our datacenter, the agent works where the application lives: no need to pull a database dump or customer data down to your own machine.

Long jobs that stop depending on you

Leave a migration, a build or a test run going inside tmux, close the lid and come back to the very same session a while later.

A static Argentine IP

One address for the allowlists of your API, your database or your panel, and a Buenos Aires exit for everything the server downloads.

Claude Code running in three steps

  1. Get the server ready

    Log in as root with the IP and password you receive by email, update Ubuntu 24.04 and add the only two things you need: git for your repository and tmux for the persistent session.

    apt update && apt upgrade -y && apt install -y curl git tmux
  2. Install Claude Code

    Anthropic’s native installer drops the binary in ~/.local/bin and needs no Node.js. Check it landed with claude --version.

    curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash
  3. Open it in a session that survives disconnects

    Inside tmux you run claude and sign in with your account: if the browser shows a code instead of returning on its own —which is what usually happens over SSH— you paste it back into the terminal. Ctrl+b d drops the session without killing it, and tmux attach -t claude picks it up from any machine.

    tmux new -A -s claude

Frequently asked questions

Do I need an Anthropic subscription or key?

Yes, and you bring it: Claude Code requires a Pro, Max, Team, Enterprise or Anthropic Console account, and the free claude.ai plan does not include it. We provide the server, the IP and the operating system; the agent account stays in your name and goes with you if you leave.

Do I need Node.js on the VPS?

With the native installer, no: it downloads its own binary that does not use Node.js at runtime. If you would rather install it with npm, the @anthropic-ai/claude-code package asks for Node.js 22 or later, and Ubuntu 24.04 ships an older version, so you would add the NodeSource repository or nvm first.

How do I sign in if the server has no browser?

Run claude, copy the URL it prints and open it in your own browser. When the browser cannot reach the server —the usual case over SSH— it shows a code instead: paste it into the terminal at “Paste code here if prompted” and you are in. The credential is then stored on the VPS, in ~/.claude/.credentials.json.

Can I edit from VS Code against the server?

Yes, with the Remote-SSH extension (ms-vscode-remote.remote-ssh): pick “Remote-SSH: Connect to Host…” from the command palette, point it at juan@203.0.113.24 and the editor opens the files on the VPS. The integrated terminal is the server’s, so Claude Code runs right there.

Which plan suits this kind of work?

Anthropic’s documentation asks for 4 GB of RAM or more and Ubuntu 20.04 onwards. The VM4 (4 vCPU, 4 GB, 60 GB) meets that number with room to build; the VM3 is a sensible start when the server holds nothing but the repository and the agent. Moving up a plan needs no migration or reinstall, so the jump does not cost you a move.

Do you install it for me?

The VPS is delivered with a clean Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and the three commands on this page get Claude Code running. If you would rather not, we can arrange it by ticket. For the development work itself, our software factory builds custom projects on this same infrastructure.
