Web Console & Claude Code

Use the web console and run Claude Code on your servers

Access a web-based terminal on your servers and run Claude Code directly in your app's directory.

Web Console

Every app has a Console link in its sidebar. Clicking it opens a web terminal connected to your server, starting in your app's deploy directory (/var/www/your-app/current).

From the console you can:

  • Run Rails console: bundle exec rails console
  • Check logs: journalctl -u your-app-puma -n 100 --no-pager
  • Run database migrations: bundle exec rails db:migrate
  • Inspect files and processes on the server

Running Claude Code

Claude Code is pre-installed on all Ship It Squirrel servers. To start it, open the Console and type:

claude

Claude Code will start in your app's directory with full access to your codebase. You can ask it to fix bugs, review code, run tests, and more.

Tip: For the best experience, you can also SSH into your server directly and run claude from your local terminal. Connect with: ssh deploy@your-server-ip
