feat: support configuring default server URL for desktop

Open athal7 opened this issue 6 days ago • 1 comments

Allow the desktop app to connect to a pre-existing server instead of spawning its own sidecar.

Use Case

Users running opencode server separately (e.g., in a container, on a remote machine, or as a shared service) should be able to configure the desktop app to connect to it directly.

Proposed Solution

  • Add UI in server selection dialog to set/clear the default server URL
  • On startup, attempt to connect to configured server
  • Show connection failure dialog with Retry/Start Local options when server is unreachable
