Bux (Browser Use Box) ♞

Skill by ara.so — Daily 2026 Skills collection.

Bux turns any Ubuntu VPS into a 24/7 Claude Code agent with a persistent Chromium browser session. Text your agent via Telegram, it browses the web, logs into sites, handles 2FA interactively, and maintains state across reboots — all on hardware you own.

What Bux Does

• Runs Claude Code as a persistent systemd service on your server
• Keeps a real Chromium browser alive (cookies/logins persist across sessions)
• Exposes a Telegram bot interface so you can message your agent from anywhere
• Provides a web terminal (ttyd) bound to localhost for direct access
• Hands you a live browser view URL when human interaction is needed (CAPTCHA, 2FA, login walls)
• All state lives in /home/bux — survives reboots

Requirements

• Ubuntu 22.04+ VPS with ≥ 2GB RAM (a $5/mo Hetzner or DigitalOcean droplet works)
• Browser Use Cloud API key — BROWSER_USE_API_KEY=bu_xxx
