A freshly installed Ubuntu-24.04 distro prompts interactively for a new UNIX user on its first invocation; with piped stdio that prompt blocks forever and the sidecar never starts. Adding --user root to wslArgs sidesteps the whole first-run flow for every wsl.exe we spawn (sidecar, resolveWslOpencode, probes). opencode inside WSL only needs an HTTP listener so running as root is fine.
OpenCode Desktop
Native OpenCode desktop app, built with Tauri v2.
Development
From the repo root:
bun install
bun run --cwd packages/desktop tauri dev
This starts the Vite dev server on http://localhost:1420 and opens the native window.
If you only want the web dev server (no native shell):
bun run --cwd packages/desktop dev
Build
To create a production dist/ and build the native app bundle:
bun run --cwd packages/desktop tauri build
Prerequisites
Running the desktop app requires additional Tauri dependencies (Rust toolchain, platform-specific libraries). See the Tauri prerequisites for setup instructions.
