		azuanrb 3 months ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Running Claude Code dangerously (safely) I just learned that you can run `claude setup-token` to generate a long-lived token. Then you can set it via `CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN` as a reusable token. Pretty useful when I'm running it in isolated environment.

yes! just don't forget to `RUN echo '{"hasCompletedOnboarding": true}' > /home/user/.claude.json` otherwise your claude will ask how to authenticate on startup, ignoring the OAUTH token
