Cloud agent box in practice: Obsidian notes, sub-agents and a vacation plan
swaroopch · x · 2026-09-17
The author shares his experience running agents on exedev cloud VMs.
- Favorite aspects: the machine is just a cloud box with SSH as the API, secure defaults, mobile push and email notifications, and fast VM spin-up
- Agents do more than code: multiple agents and sub-agents maintain his Obsidian notes, AGENTS.md, and Shelley customizations
- Example: he generated a detailed family vacation plan with OpenCode, then kept updating it during the trip via Claude Code CLI remote control on exedev, interacting through the Claude mobile app
