claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix Remote control sessions from VPS don't persist in desktop app history [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

The issue with remote control sessions not persisting in the Mac desktop app's session history after disconnecting from a VPS may be resolved by investigating the differences in configuration or environment between the VPS and local machine setups.

Guidance

• Verify that the claude user on the VPS has the necessary permissions to write session history data, as the --dangerously-skip-permissions flag may be masking underlying issues.
• Compare the launch commands and configurations used for the local machine (Dell) and VPS setups to identify any discrepancies that could be causing the session history persistence issue.
• Check the OAuth authentication settings to ensure that they are correctly configured for both the local machine and VPS setups.
• Investigate the possibility of a version mismatch or compatibility issue between the Claude Code Mac desktop app and the Claude Code server version (2.1.100) on the VPS.

Example

No specific code example is provided, as the issue seems to be related to configuration and environment rather than code.

Notes

The provided workaround of saving full session transcripts to the git repo manually may be useful for preserving session data, but it does not address the underlying issue of session history persistence.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by reconfiguring the VPS setup to match the local machine setup as closely as possible, and then test to see if the issue persists. This approach may help identify the root cause of the problem and provide a temporary solution until a more permanent fix can be found.
