# FAQ
|
||||
|
||||
## General
|
||||
|
||||
### What is HAPI?
|
||||
|
||||
HAPI is a local-first, self-hosted platform for running and controlling AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini) remotely. It lets you start coding sessions on your computer and monitor/control them from your phone.
|
||||
|
||||
### What does HAPI stand for?
|
||||
|
||||
HAPI (哈皮) is a Chinese transliteration of "Happy", reflecting the project's goal of making AI coding assistance a happier experience by freeing you from the terminal.
|
||||
|
||||
### Is HAPI free?
|
||||
|
||||
Yes, HAPI is open source and free to use under the LGPL-3.0 license.
|
||||
|
||||
### What AI agents does HAPI support?
|
||||
|
||||
- **Claude Code** (recommended)
|
||||
- **OpenAI Codex**
|
||||
- **Google Gemini**
|
||||
|
||||
## Setup & Installation
|
||||
|
||||
### Do I need a server?
|
||||
|
||||
HAPI includes an embedded server. Just run `hapi server` on your machine - no external server required.
|
||||
|
||||
### How do I access HAPI from my phone?
|
||||
|
||||
For local network access:
|
||||
```
|
||||
http://<your-computer-ip>:3006
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For internet access, set up a tunnel (Cloudflare Tunnel, Tailscale, or ngrok).
|
||||
|
||||
### What's the access token for?
|
||||
|
||||
The `CLI_API_TOKEN` is a shared secret that authenticates:
|
||||
- CLI connections to the server
|
||||
- Web app logins
|
||||
- Telegram account binding
|
||||
|
||||
It's auto-generated on first server start and saved to `~/.hapi/settings.json`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Can I use HAPI without Telegram?
|
||||
|
||||
Yes. Telegram is optional. You can use the web app directly in any browser or install it as a PWA.
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
### How do I approve permissions remotely?
|
||||
|
||||
1. When your AI agent requests permission (e.g., to edit a file), you'll see a notification
|
||||
2. Open HAPI on your phone
|
||||
3. Navigate to the active session
|
||||
4. Approve or deny the pending permission
|
||||
|
||||
### Can I start sessions remotely?
|
||||
|
||||
Yes, with daemon mode:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Run `hapi daemon start` on your computer
|
||||
2. Your machine appears in the "Machines" list in the web app
|
||||
3. Tap to spawn new sessions from anywhere
|
||||
|
||||
### How do I see what files were changed?
|
||||
|
||||
In the session view, tap the "Files" tab to:
|
||||
- Browse project files
|
||||
- View git status
|
||||
- See diffs of changed files
|
||||
|
||||
### Can I send messages to the AI from my phone?
|
||||
|
||||
Yes. Open any session and use the chat interface to send messages directly to the AI agent.
|
||||
|
||||
## Security
|
||||
|
||||
### Is my data safe?
|
||||
|
||||
Yes. HAPI is local-first:
|
||||
- All data stays on your machine
|
||||
- Nothing is uploaded to external servers
|
||||
- The database is stored locally in `~/.hapi/`
|
||||
|
||||
### How secure is the token authentication?
|
||||
|
||||
The auto-generated token is 256-bit (cryptographically secure). For external access, always use HTTPS via a tunnel.
|
||||
|
||||
### Can others access my HAPI instance?
|
||||
|
||||
Only if they have your access token. For additional security:
|
||||
- Use a strong, unique token
|
||||
- Always use HTTPS for external access
|
||||
- Consider Tailscale for private networking
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### "Connection refused" error
|
||||
|
||||
- Ensure server is running: `hapi server`
|
||||
- Check firewall allows port 3006
|
||||
- Verify `HAPI_SERVER_URL` is correct
|
||||
|
||||
### "Invalid token" error
|
||||
|
||||
- Re-run `hapi auth login`
|
||||
- Check token matches in CLI and server
|
||||
- Verify `~/.hapi/settings.json` has correct `cliApiToken`
|
||||
|
||||
### Daemon won't start
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Check status
|
||||
hapi daemon status
|
||||
|
||||
# Clear stale lock file
|
||||
rm ~/.hapi/daemon.state.json.lock
|
||||
|
||||
# Check logs
|
||||
hapi daemon logs
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Claude Code not found
|
||||
|
||||
Install Claude Code or set custom path:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
|
||||
# or
|
||||
export HAPI_CLAUDE_PATH=/path/to/claude
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### How do I run diagnostics?
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
hapi doctor
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This checks server connectivity, token validity, agent availability, and more.
|
||||
