Turn a Home Mac mini Into an Always-On Claude Code Workstation: claudecodeui + SSH Reverse Tunnel, Take Over Sessions From Any Browser
A Mac mini at home runs Claude Code around the clock — but how do you take over a session from a browser when you're away? This is a real setup that has been live for a week and in daily use: claudecodeui as the web UI (chosen over the official web version, ttyd, and code-server), an SSH reverse tunnel pushing it to a VPS, and nginx adding TLS plus login rate limiting to turn it into an ordinary URL. Includes full configs, real operating numbers (five days of tunnel uptime with zero drops, 170MB RSS), a <synthetic> placeholder bug hit and fixed within the first week, and an honest for-and-against on why not Tailscale.
