What a machine can do.
A boxd machine is a real Linux computer that keeps its state. These are the things it does that a container or a CI runner can't.
CLI & REPL
Machines, forks, snapshots, domains, secrets and keys all have a verb, and `--json` is a global flag rather than a feature of three commands.
boxd m newForking & snapshots
A fork copies memory and disk, so the copy comes up where the original was — servers running, caches warm, nothing to boot.
boxd machine fork alice alice-2Domains & URLs
Every machine is already reachable at its own hostname. Publishing a port is one command, and the certificate is not your problem.
boxd machine proxy add api --vm alice --port 3000Looking for what people build with it?
The capabilities are the mechanism. If you'd rather start from the job — a box per developer, a machine per agent, a job that outlives your laptop — see what boxd is used for.
Every idea gets its own machine
Install the CLI, sign in once, and the first one is yours. Fork it the moment you need another.
