Show HN: Rocky Surf – Open-source control plane for coding-agent cloud VMs

https://www.rockysurf.com/
2•jbdamask•56m ago
Rocky Surf started late last year after Claude Code crashed my laptop.

The alpha version was designed as a commercial product, but I ditched the idea because it would have required significant capital. Basically, the business would have been a cloud reseller with a bit of software on top.

I built the core for my own projects - simple stuff like bash commands to create, stop, start, and terminate EC2s. Added features along the way, like other clouds and making tool bundles so I could spin up a VM and automatically install Pi, OpenCode, etc, etc.

Finally decided to turn it into an open source platform. It's pretty cool because a) it's easy to use; b) there's an MCP so servers can be managed outside of the UI; c) it's modular and the repo comes with skills to create new tool bundles or add other cloud providers.

Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, etc all offer their own cloud-based infrastructure but they have to be controlled somewhere. This makes it so my controlling agent doesn't have to live on my laptop.
