Run Codex in the cloud – DigitalOcean for Codex is now available

By Ari Sigal

Head of Product Marketing

Updated: June 25, 2026 3 min read

Codex connects the Droplet to your Codex environment using the same SSH key and deeplink flow.

You can find the droplet id in the URL at cloud.digitalocean.com/droplets/

What you can do once you’re connected

After setup, your Codex session is running on a cloud machine you control. A few things you can do from there:

Ask Codex to configure the environment, install dependencies, or set up a new project

Use Codex’s handoff functionality to move an existing local thread to the Droplet and continue work in the cloud

Spin up additional machines or shut down ones you no longer need

Connect your Droplet to Codex in the ChatGPT app to start, steer, and continue work from your phone

Getting started

The DigitalOcean plugin for Codex is available today in Public Preview. Install the plugin from the Codex plugin directory or find the Codex Droplet template in the DigitalOcean Marketplace to get started.
