# Configure Codex Remote SSH
Help the user connect one paid Terminalbox pane to the official Codex app. Be explicit that
Terminalbox is independent from OpenAI: Terminalbox supplies the hosted Linux environment and SSH
gateway; the user supplies an eligible OpenAI account or API access.
## Safety boundary
- Never read, print, copy, upload, or ask for a private-key value. Work only with its filesystem
path and the matching public key.
- Inspect existing SSH configuration narrowly. Do not reproduce unrelated host entries or proxy
details in the response.
- Do not create a key, edit `~/.ssh/config`, replace a known-host entry, open a browser, or start a
paid checkout without explicit user approval for that action.
- Preserve existing SSH settings. Refuse to overwrite an existing alias unless the user chooses a
new alias or explicitly approves the exact replacement.
- Treat a fingerprint mismatch as a stop condition. Do not bypass host-key verification.
- Do not claim the setup works until both a normal SSH command and Codex availability through the
remote login shell have been verified.
## 1. Establish prerequisites
Collect or confirm:
- the pane slug shown on the Terminalbox dashboard;
- a private-key path on the user's computer, without reading the key;
- confirmation that the matching `.pub` key was added under Terminalbox Settings → SSH → Inbound
access; and
- a concrete, unused SSH alias. Default to `terminalbox-codex` when available.
If the user has no p
