We set up the server with the Herdr template, connect over SSH with a dedicated key and a shortcut, create a separate developer user for the agents, and limit SSH to your own IP address with the Hostinger firewall. Then we log in to GitHub, Claude Code and Codex on the server, organize projects in Herdr, and connect Cursor or VS Code over SSH for a visual daily workflow. 👋🏻 About Me Hi!
