Show HN: Cloud based firecracker VMs for agents, with email, domains and wallets

https://zipbox.ai/setup/claude
1•hishboy•1h ago
For the work I'm dealing with currently. I needed my agents to have setup with its own email, an ngrok tunnel (reach urls publicly), a crypto wallet with a private key...that's basically it, the agent gets access to all of it as the base for the work.

Problem is I'm building stuff fast and my machine is always occupied. CPUs pegged, multiple worktrees. Also lets grab another ngrok domain and give it another wallet, basically set up the whole system again every time.

I didn't want to just spin something up on Digital Ocean or AWS because of the cost so then you have to tear it all down when I'm done and set it up again when needed, it was so frustrating. plus setting up api keys for the agent every single time, it was a mess.

So I ended up building this project where I just boot a machine and only pay for the usage. Each machine is a isolated disposable firecracker vm with root in the browser, and it immediately gets its own email inbox and a public https url, plus an evm and a solana wallet for onchain stuff. now I boot as many as I want per feature and when its done I pause the machine to save on cost and boot it right up when needed.

It has made my productivity sky rocket! I can even boot multiple machines (one to build and the other to QA using a headless browser) and they talk directly to each other via ssh passwordless login if needed. I would love for people to try it for building their own projects and tell me what they think, I'd really appreciate it.
