Developer Self-Hosts paseo Service for Tablet ChatGPT Experience

On October 24, 2026, a V2EX user posted a thread describing a self-hosted way to use ChatGPT on a tablet. According to the post, after buying a tablet during the Double 11 shopping festival and installing orca and then paseo on the strength of community suggestions, the user concluded that paseo feels closer to a native ChatGPT client, and is more convenient for pasting long blocks of text and attaching images. The setup described is to install paseo together with codex cli (or another tool) on a server, put an nginx reverse proxy in front, and restrict access with an IP allowlist. Once that is in place, the user reports being able to work from any browser at any time, describing the experience as no different from working locally. He also notes that because his local machine runs Windows while paseo runs on Linux, the development setup feels more complete, and he no longer needs to carry a gaming laptop when going out. On the tablet-specific issue, he writes that the official client handles portrait orientation fine but has problems in landscape mode, so he spent some tokens on an adaptation. He references tablet-v0.13.0-1 as a release on the cwateryuan/paseo GitHub repository. As of the thread, the account stands at a description of this self-hosted approach and the adaptation outcome, with no further follow-up reported.
