One-Click AI
Dev Environments
Launch a VM with Claude Code, Aider, Codex, or Gemini pre-installed. SSH in and start building — no setup, no Docker, no dependency hell.
Pay by the hour. No subscriptions. Destroy anytime.
Three steps to coding with AI
From zero to a fully configured AI dev environment in under two minutes.
Pick Your Tools
Choose from Claude Code, Aider, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Cline, or Roo Code. Select one or install them all.
Launch
Pick a size and region. Your VM spins up in under 90 seconds with everything pre-installed and configured.
Code
SSH in and start building. Your API keys are pre-loaded, your repo is cloned, and your AI tools are ready.
Everything you need, nothing you don't
A real VM with real tools. No artificial limitations.
Pre-Installed AI Tools
Claude Code, Aider, OpenAI Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Cline, and Roo Code. No setup, no dependency hell. Just SSH and go.
API Keys Pre-Loaded
Enter your API keys at launch. They are injected as environment variables so every tool works out of the box.
Full SSH Access
Root SSH access to a real Linux VM. Install anything, run anything. No artificial sandboxing or restrictions.
Isolated Environments
Every VM is a dedicated DigitalOcean droplet. Your code never shares resources with other users.
Pay by the Hour
No subscriptions. Spin up a VM when you need it, destroy it when you are done. Billed to the minute.
One-Click Destroy
Done coding? Destroy the VM instantly from the dashboard. No lingering charges, no cleanup needed.
Simple, honest pricing
Pay by the hour. No subscriptions, no hidden fees. Destroy your VM anytime.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is CloudVM different from CodePilot?
CodePilot is a managed AI coding agent that runs in your browser. CloudVM gives you a raw Linux VM with AI coding tools pre-installed. You SSH in and use the tools directly from the command line. Think of CodePilot as a hosted service, and CloudVM as your own dev machine in the cloud.
What AI tools come pre-installed?
You choose from Claude Code (Anthropic), Aider, OpenAI Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Cline, and Roo Code. Select any combination at launch time. All tools are configured and ready to use.
Do I need my own API keys?
Yes. You provide your own API keys for the AI services you want to use (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google). Keys are injected as environment variables when the VM boots. We never store them after provisioning.
How long does provisioning take?
Most VMs are ready in 60-90 seconds. You will see the status update in real time on your dashboard, and you will get the SSH credentials as soon as the VM is running.
Can I clone a private repo?
Yes. Provide your repo URL at launch and the VM will clone it on boot. For private repos, use an HTTPS URL with a personal access token or set up SSH keys after connecting.
How does billing work?
VMs are billed by the hour at the listed rate. You are only charged while the VM exists. Destroy it from the dashboard when you are done and billing stops immediately.
