Why do you want to self-host vs. using one of the many providers out there?

Daytona, E2B, OpenComputer, Freestyle, Blaxel, Vercel, Modal, Cloudflare, Tensorlake, Superserve, etc. etc.

Some of them work by pre-purchasing credits, so you can control the blast radius of spend.

Also, if you want a more embedded sandbox runtime as a library instead of a daemon + REST API, you can check out libkrun (and friendly layers on top of it like https://microsandbox.dev/ and https://smolmachines.com/)



Even with the Hetzner price increase, it is still far cheaper than all of them with self-hosting.


self host = better spec machine for same price.
