Designed For Long Running Tasks
VMs remain on unless stopped or suspended. Reproducible builds with NixOS flakes or Ubuntu with Ansible. Dedicated resources, static IPs, per-minute billing. All images are open source: NixOS, Ubuntu.
NixOS with Flakes, or Ubuntu & Ansible
Deterministic builds, one-command rollbacks, no drift. Ubuntu pre-installed with Docker, Node, Python, Claude Code, and Codex.
Designed to be used from the Terminal
Every operation is a CLI command with --json. A remote MCP server lets agents drive everything programmatically.
Dedicated Resources up to 60 vCPU & 240GB RAM
Real KVM/QEMU. 1–60 vCPU, up to 240 GB RAM. Optional GPUs: H100, H200, L40S, MI300X.
Start, Suspend, Snapshot & Resume
Freeze a VM's state, stop billing, restore later. Create golden images from any VM and spin up clones.
99.99% Uptime Across 4 Regions
US, UK, EU, and Asia at the same price. Per-minute billing starts at $0.013/hr.
Static IPs & HTTPS Endpoints
Every VM gets a public IP and HTTPS at <vm>.mac0.io. No NAT, no tunnels.
Pricing
Pay-as-you-go, billed per minute. Same price in all regions. Suspend VMs to stop billing, resume anytime.

Examples
Reproducible Development Environments
Define your entire OS as code with NixOS. Spin up clones of your environment with enough resources to compile code, run tests, and use tools like browsers without bottlenecks.
# Create a new NixOS VM
$ machine0 new devbox --image nixos-25-11-loaded --size large
# Clone the flake, modify the config, and rebuild
$ git clone https://github.com/fdmtl/machine0-nixos.git ./
$ claude -p "Add postgres to the loaded profile"
$ machine0 provision devbox ./flake.nix#loaded
# SSH in and start working
$ machine0 ssh devbox
$ claude login
# Create a golden master snapshot
$ machine0 stop devbox
$ machine0 image new devbox devbox-gm
# Want a clean or larger VM? Spin one up from the image
$ machine0 rm devbox
$ machine0 new devbox --image devbox-gm --size xxlRunning OpenClaw & Hermes
Autonomous agents like OpenClaw and Hermes need their own machine with isolated credentials. Create a VM, SSH in, start the agent. Suspend when you're done to stop billing.
# Create a new OpenClaw VM & SSH in
$ machine0 new openclaw --image nixos-25-11-openclaw --size large
$ machine0 ssh openclaw
# Start the onboarding flow
$ openclaw onboard --install-daemon
# Done? Back up your data and suspend the VM
$ machine0 sync pull openclaw:~/.openclaw/ ~/Backups/openclaw
$ machine0 suspend openclaw
# Running Hermes is similar
$ machine0 new hermes --image nixos-25-11-hermes --size large
$ machine0 ssh hermesHosting
Every VM gets its own static IP and HTTPS endpoint. VMs persist until stopped, suspended, or removed, with 99.99% uptime across 4 regions. Good for hosting web apps, databases, or anything that needs a stable address.
$ machine0 new webserver --image nixos-25-11-loaded --size small
$ claude -p "Use machine0 to start a webserver on port 80 on the webserver VM"
# Get the VM's IP
$ machine0 get webserver
# Open the authenticated HTTPS endpoint in your browser
$ open https://webserver.mac0.ioFAQ
