Frequently Asked Questions

What servers does Forje work with?
Any Linux server with SSH access. Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, Fedora, Arch, Alpine — all supported. Works with any VPS provider: Hostinger, DigitalOcean, Hetzner, AWS, GCP, Oracle Cloud, and more.
Does Forje store my passwords or SSH keys?
Credentials are stored locally on your device using encrypted secure storage (Android Keystore / iOS Keychain). Nothing is sent to Forje servers — we don't have any servers.
Why does my SSH connection drop?
Forje includes an SSH keep-alive service that runs in the background. Make sure you've enabled it in Settings. If connections still drop, check your server's ClientAliveInterval setting in /etc/ssh/sshd_config.
How do I install tools on my server?
Connect to your server, then go to the Engine tab. Forje detects what's installed and offers one-tap install for missing tools (Node.js, Python, Git, Docker, code-server, AI tools, etc.).
Can I use Forje without a VPS?
You need a Linux server to connect to. You can use a free Oracle Cloud VM, a Raspberry Pi on your network, WSL on Windows, or any machine with SSH enabled.
How do I share VS Code to my PC?
Open the VS Code tab in Forje, tap the cloud/share icon in the toolbar. Forje creates a Cloudflare tunnel with a public URL and password. Open that URL on your PC browser for full VS Code.
Is Forje free?
Forje has a free tier with SSH terminal and basic features. Pro ($9.99/mo) unlocks unlimited connections, VS Code, AI tools, Cloudflare Tunnels, and full VM bootstrap.
How do I cancel my subscription?
Subscriptions are managed through the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android). Go to your device's subscription settings to cancel. You'll retain Pro access until the end of your billing period.
My code-server won't start
Try reinstalling: go to Engine tab, tap the reinstall button for code-server. Make sure port 8080 isn't in use by another process. You can check with lsof -i :8080 in the terminal.
How do I report a bug?
Email support@forje.dev with your device model, OS version, and steps to reproduce. Screenshots help. Or open an issue on GitHub.
