Temporary machines for temporary moments.

A small machine that won’t haunt you.

Borrow a disposable dev machine from the Global Free Tier. SSH in. Run the thing. Expose a port. Let it disappear.

First time? Install the CLI or curl -fsSL www.ghost.charity/install.sh | bash

What it’s for

For work you don’t want on your laptop.

Clone like you’re home.
Run the weird build.
Open a shell from anywhere.
Expose a web app without touching DNS.
Give an agent a real machine.
Keep working when one tunnel flakes.
Give the machine back when you’re done.

The Global Free Tier

There are spare machines everywhere.

GitHub Actions is only the first place ghosts come from. There are strange little pockets of temporary compute all over the internet. Ghostbox makes them feel like one small machine.

No platform.
No sysadmin.
No server left behind.

A ghost machine for the moment. Give it back when you’re done.

Cycle of ghosts

The unofficial country club for temporary machines.

All energy is borrowed. Every runner returns to the clouds. Some leave with a badge.
