Web

Using Vikasit Code in your browser.

Vikasit Code can run as a web application in your browser, providing the same powerful AI coding experience without needing a terminal.

Vikasit Code Web - New Session

Getting Started

Start the web interface by running:

vikasit web

This starts a local server on 127.0.0.1 with a random available port and automatically opens Vikasit Code in your default browser.

You can configure the web server using command line flags or in your config file.

By default, Vikasit Code picks an available port. You can specify a port:

vikasit web --port 4096

By default, the server binds to 127.0.0.1 (localhost only). To make Vikasit Code accessible on your network:

vikasit web --hostname 0.0.0.0

When using 0.0.0.0, Vikasit Code will display both local and network addresses:

  Local access:       http://localhost:4096
  Network access:     http://192.168.1.100:4096

Enable mDNS to make your server discoverable on the local network:

vikasit web --mdns

This automatically sets the hostname to 0.0.0.0 and advertises the server as vikasit.local.

You can customize the mDNS domain name to run multiple instances on the same network:

vikasit web --mdns --mdns-domain myproject.local

To allow additional domains for CORS (useful for custom frontends):

vikasit web --cors https://example.com

To protect access, set a password using the VIKASIT_SERVER_PASSWORD environment variable:

VIKASIT_SERVER_PASSWORD=secret vikasit web

The username defaults to vikasit but can be changed with VIKASIT_SERVER_USERNAME.

Once started, the web interface provides access to your Vikasit Code sessions.

View and manage your sessions from the homepage. You can see active sessions and start new ones.

Vikasit Code Web - Active Session

Click “See Servers” to view connected servers and their status.

Vikasit Code Web - See Servers

You can attach a terminal TUI to a running web server:

# Start the web server
vikasit web --port 4096

# In another terminal, attach the TUI
vikasit attach http://localhost:4096

This allows you to use both the web interface and terminal simultaneously, sharing the same sessions and state.

You can also configure server settings in your vikasit.json config file:

{
  "server": {
    "port": 4096,
    "hostname": "0.0.0.0",
    "mdns": true,
    "cors": ["https://example.com"]
  }
}

Command line flags take precedence over config file settings.
