Computers
Always-on and SSH
Always-on computers are full virtual machines on Hetzner Cloud that run until you pause them: a public IP, SSH access and the same setup as a Sandbox computer. They cost 0.05 USDG an hour and are opening soon; the app takes a waitlist until then.
What changes
| Cloud computer | Always-on | |
|---|---|---|
| Runs | Sessions of up to 5 hours, then save and resume | Until you pause it |
| Way in | Web terminal | Web terminal and SSH |
| Editors | None | VS Code, Cursor, Zed over SSH |
| Price | 0.60 USDG an hour | 0.05 USDG an hour |
SSH key
Paste your public key when you create the computer. It is written to the agent user by cloud-init. Generate one if you have none:
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "cloudgrad"
cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pubVS Code, Cursor, Zed
The app shows the SSH command and one-click links for each editor once the machine has its IP.
| VS Code | vscode://vscode-remote/ssh-remote+agent@IP/vercel/sandbox/work |
| Cursor | cursor://vscode-remote/ssh-remote+agent@IP/vercel/sandbox/work |
| Zed | zed://ssh/agent@IP/vercel/sandbox/work |
