Accessing BodhAI Remotely

BodhAI runs on a server inside your network. There are two ways to access it.

---

Option 1 — LAN access (recommended for office use)

If you are on the same network (office Wi-Fi or LAN) as the BodhAI server, access it directly:

http://<server-ip>:8742

Find the server IP from your IT team or from the BodhAI server's network settings. Direct LAN access gives the lowest latency and is not affected by internet connectivity.

Bookmark this URL for daily use if you work in the office.

Option 2 — Cloudflare Tunnel (remote access)

Your BodhAI workspace has a public URL:

https://{your-slug}.bodhai.app

This works from anywhere — home, a different office, mobile. Traffic is routed through Cloudflare's network to your local server. Your documents never leave your server; only encrypted traffic passes through Cloudflare.

Requirements:

• The BodhAI server must be running
• The cloudflared daemon must be running on the server (starts automatically with BodhAI)
• The server needs internet access to maintain the tunnel

Streaming and long-running queries

The tunnel URL has a 100-second connection limit on long-running responses. For most chat queries this is not an issue. For complex agentic queries that take longer, BodhAI uses a polling pattern that automatically reconnects — you will see a progress indicator rather than a loading spinner.

For heavy agentic work from the office, use the LAN URL directly.

Login

Both access methods use the same login credentials. Your session is tied to the server — logging in via the tunnel and then switching to the LAN URL requires logging in again.
