[machine0](https://machine0.io) is a CLI for creating, provisioning, and snapshotting persistent cloud VMs. One command gives you a VM with dedicated CPU/RAM, a static IP, and an HTTPS endpoint. Provision declaratively with NixOS flakes or Ubuntu with Ansible.

- **NixOS with Flakes** — provision VMs declaratively. Deterministic builds, one-command rollbacks, no drift.
|
|
17
|
+
- **Or Ubuntu with Ansible** — pre-installed images with Docker, Node, Python, and popular agents. Ansible provisioning supported.
|
|
18
|
+
- **Dedicated resources** — real KVM/QEMU. 1 to 60 vCPU, up to 240 GB RAM. Not shared.
|
|
19
|
+
- **GPUs** — H100, H200, MI300X, L40S, RTX 4000 Ada, W6000 Ada. Single or 8x configurations. From $0.836/hr.
|
|
20
|
+
- **Suspend & resume** — snapshot a VM's state, stop billing, restore later. Pay only image storage while suspended.
|
|
21
|
+
- **Static IPs & HTTPS** — every VM gets a public IP and authenticated HTTPS at `<vm>.mac0.io`.
|
|
22
|
+
- **Snapshots & images** — snapshot any VM into a reusable image. Version, promote, and set as default for new VMs.
|
|
23
|
+
- **File sync** — `sync push` and `sync pull` with `--watch` for continuous sync.
|
|
24
|
+
- **CLI + MCP** — every command has `--json`. A remote MCP server is also available for programmatic control.
|
|
25
|
+
- **4 regions** — New York, London, Amsterdam, Singapore. Same pricing everywhere.
|
|
26
|
+
- **Per-minute billing** — no commitments, refundable credits. A small VM runs 24/7 for ~$9/mo.
|
|
27
|
+
- **99.99% uptime SLA** — instance-level.
|
|
28
|
+
- **Firewall** — ufw enabled by default. Ports 22, 80, 443 open.

## Usage
|
|
24
31
|
|
|
25
32
|
```bash
|
|
26
|
-
$ machine0 account login
|
|
27
|
-
```
|
|
28
|
-
|
|
29
|
-
Opens your browser to authenticate. The session token is saved to `~/.machine0/auth-token`.
|
|
30
|
-
|
|
31
|
-
### API token (non-interactive / CI)
|
|
32
|
-
|
|
33
|
-
Set the `MACHINE0_API_TOKEN` environment variable to skip the browser login flow. This is useful for CI pipelines, scripts, and automation.
|
|
34
|
-
|
|
35
|
-
```bash
|
|
36
|
-
export MACHINE0_API_TOKEN=your-api-token
|
|
37
|
-
machine0 ls
|
|
38
|
-
```
|
|
39
|
-
|
|
40
|
-
The environment variable takes precedence over the session file. You can get a token by running `machine0 account login` and reading the session file, or from the [web dashboard](https://app.machine0.io).
|
|
41
|
-
|
|
42
|
-
`machine0 account login` and `machine0 account logout` still work when `MACHINE0_API_TOKEN` is set — they manage the session file independently and will warn you about the environment variable.
|
|
43
|
-
|
|
44
|
-
## Using machine0 with AI agents
|
|
45
|
-
|
|
46
|
-
When driven from a coding agent (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) the CLI runs without a TTY. Two supported paths:
|
|
47
|
-
|
|
48
|
-
1. **MCP server (recommended for agents).** The API hosts an MCP endpoint at `https://app.machine0.io/mcp` with tools for listing, creating, starting, stopping and destroying VMs, managing images and keys, and running SSH commands. Point your agent at this URL and authenticate with OAuth or `MACHINE0_API_TOKEN`. This is the stable, structured interface.
|
|
49
|
-
2. **CLI with `MACHINE0_API_TOKEN`.** For scripts and CI, set the env var and the CLI works non-interactively. Destructive commands (`rm`, `update`) require `--yes` when there is no TTY — the CLI fails loudly rather than silently destroying resources.

## Benefits
|
|
52
|
-
|
|
53
|
-
- 🧰 **Fully Loaded:** VMs come pre-installed with everything you need to work with AI.
|
|
54
|
-
- ⚡ **Instant boot:** Small VMs are kept warm and boot in seconds.
|
|
55
|
-
- 📐 **Multiple sizes:** From lightweight sandboxes to GPU instances.
|
|
56
|
-
- 🌍 **Multiple regions:** Run VMs in the US, UK, EU or Asia.
|
|
57
|
-
- 📌 **Fixed IPs:** Every VM gets a dedicated IP for its lifetime.
|
|
58
|
-
- 🔒 **HTTPS endpoints:** Every VM gets `https://<vm>.mac0.io`.
|
|
59
|
-
- 🔑 **SSH key management:** Use your own keys or create managed keypairs on the server.
|
|
60
|
-
- 📦 **Ansible provisioning:** First-class support for running playbooks on your VMs.
|
|
61
|
-
- 📸 **Snapshots:** Snapshot any VM into a reusable image.
|
|
62

-
|
|
64
|
-
## Use Cases
|
|
65
|
-
|
|
66
|
-
- 🤖 **Agent sandboxes:** Small instances are cheap and boot instantly. Snapshot your setup once, then spin up identical sandboxes on demand.
|
|
67
|
-
- 🦞 **OpenClaw:** Use the `openclaw` image to get a machine running OpenClaw out of the box. Use `medium` or larger.
|
|
68
|
-
- 💻 **Dev environments:** The provisioned image comes with Node, Bun, Python, Rust, Go, Docker and Claude Code. SSH in and start building.
|
|
69
|
-
- 🌐 **Hosting:** Every VM has dedicated resources, a fixed IP and an HTTPS endpoint. Host APIs, bots, databases — anything that needs to stay up.
|
|
70
|
-
- 🔧 **Ansible provisioning:** Write a playbook, run `machine0 provision my-vm playbook.yml`, done. Use a coding agent to author playbooks and disposable VMs to test them.

Small VMs boot instantly:
|
|
79
|
-
|
|
80
|
-
```
|
|
81
|
-
$ machine0 new my-vm
|
|
82
|
-
✓ VM is starting
|
|
83
|
-
$ machine0 ssh my-vm
|

## Images
|
|
88
|
-
|
|
89
|
-
We provide the following system images to every account. These images are provisioned using our [Ansible Playbook](https://github.com/fdmtl/machine0-ansible).
|
|
90
|
-
|
|
91
|
-
```

|

100
|
-
|
|
101
|
-
You can also create your own images (for example to clone your environment easily):
|
|
102
|
-
|
|
103
|
-
```bash
|
|
104
|
-
# Create a fresh VM we'll use as a template.
|
|
105
|
-
$ machine0 new my-vm
|
|
106
|
-
|
|
107
|
-
# Update the VM using `machine0 ssh` or `machine0 provision`, then image it.
|
|
108
|
-
$ machine0 image my-vm my-base-image
|
|
109
|
-
|
|
110
|
-
# Create as many VMs from the image as you'd like.
|
|
111
|
-
$ machine0 create my-clone --image my-base-image
|
|
112
|
-
|
|
113
|
-
# Optionally, set the image as the default.
|
|
114
|
-
$ machine0 config set DEFAULT_VM_IMAGE=my-base-image
|
|
115
|
-
```
|
|
116
|
-
|
|
117
|
-
## Ansible Provisioning
|
|
118
|
-
|
|
119
|
-
machine0 has first-class support for provisioning VMs with [Ansible](https://github.com/ansible/ansible). Use coding agents to author playbooks and disposable VMs to test them.
|
|
120
|
-
|
|
121
|
-
```bash
|
|
122
|
-
$ machine0 provision my-vm playbook.yml
|
|
123
|
-
```
|
|
124
|
-
|
|
125
|
-
We use this functionality to create the `base-24-04` image using a fresh Ubuntu. If you'd like to learn more, you can check out our [Ansible Playbook](https://github.com/fdmtl/machine0-ansible).

## Sizes & Regions
|
|
128
|
-
|
|
129
|
-
We provide the following machine sizes. The price is the same regardless of where you spin up: `us` (New York), `uk` (London), `eu` (Amsterdam) & `asia` (Singapore).
|
|
130
|
-
|

|
|
143
|
-
|
|
144
|
-
You can use CLI options to specify the size and region of a machine. The default size is `small` (instant boot) and the default region is `eu`. You can change them using the `config` command ([see below](#configuration)).
|
|
145
|
-
|
|
146
|
-
```bash
|
|
147
|
-
$ machine0 new my-vm --size large --region us
|
|
148

|
-
|
|
150
|
-
## SSH Keys
|
|
151
|
-
|
|
152
|
-
By default, machine0 uses your local public key (`~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub`). Your private key never leaves your machine. You can also create managed keypairs that are stored on the server — useful for teams or ephemeral setups.
|
|
153
|
-
|
|
154
|
-
```bash
|
|
155
|
-
$ machine0 keys ls

## Billing
|
|
166
|
-
|
|
167
|
-
machine0 is pay-as-you-go. Resources are billed per minute.
|
|
168
|
-
|
|
169
|
-
- **Machines** are billed while they exist (including when stopped, since they reserve cloud resources).
|
|
170
|
-
- **Images** are billed based on disk size at $0.078/GB/month.
|
|
171
|
-
- Creating a resource requires enough balance for at least 10 hours of usage.
|
|
172
|
-
- If your balance drops below 1 hour of runway, resources are automatically torn down.
|
|
173
|
-
- Auto top-up can be enabled to prevent accidental teardowns.
|
|
174
|
-
- Minimum top-up is $5 USD.
|
|
175
|
-
- Outstanding credits are refundable if you decide machine0 is not for you.
|
|

**Where is machine0 hosted?**
|
|
259
|
-
VMs run on DigitalOcean's infrastructure. The API runs on GCP Cloud Run. Both are production-grade.
|
|
260
|
-
|
|
261
|
-
**Can I export my data?**
|
|
262
|
-
Yes. Your VMs are standard Ubuntu machines. SSH in and copy anything you need. There's no lock-in.

**What if I run out of credits?**
|
|
265
|
-
Resources are torn down when your balance can't cover 1 hour of usage. Enable auto top-up to prevent this.
