digital ocean for running a codex remote session:
OpenAI Developers@OpenAIDevs
You can now spin up a persistent cloud development environment in one prompt with the @DigitalOcean plugin for Codex.
It runs in your DigitalOcean account and keeps working when you step away.

Codex just spinning up new compute feels magical ✨
I remember reading all the DigitalOcean awesome docs on managing servers, now I can have Codex: - spin one up a new VM - have it manage it - then use handoff to punt tasks over there. ✨

@reach_vb I have a 20x pro account， but my CodeX underwent two 5-hour resets today. It just finished resetting and I haven't even started using it yet, but within 3 minutes the usage dropped from 100 to 0. This indicates a serious usage bug; please fix it as soon as possible.

@gdb It would be great to have a dedicate section to these providers to remotely run codex inside. Also more providers would be appreciated, hence a dedicated section for these is needed.

@gdb Alot of frontier labs don't realize we hate having to call the @ symbol. I like how cursor shows plugins when typing the prompt. Maybe codex can identify what plugin would work best and recommend it? If there's a recommendation system, it's not too good right now
