That must be worst website ever made. Zero information available on mobile. I thought it is some kind of portfolio site that does not work on mobile.

> I almost immediately surmised it's some sort of on the fly generated vm you can access via a ssh jumpserver How? It just says `ssh exe.dev`. Unless you are clairvoyant.
You are not the target audience if "how" was not apparent to you
I mean, I've done engineering work for the last 15 years on most layers of the stack. Seeing an ssh command into a fancy url does not tell me anything about what that is going to accomplish. But yeah, you must be right.

The question wasn't "how to ssh into a server", it was "how did you figure out what it it from looking at the website"
"exe.dev is a subscription service that gives you virtual machines, with persistent disks, quickly and without fuss." scroll down and hit the "about" link. I do agree though the landing page could be more resourceful. I'm not going to SSH to a random server.
That's my point, the home/landing page tells you nothing other than "try to ssh into this van"

#154The individual plan says: — $20/month — 25 VMs — 2 CPUs — 8GB RAM — 25GB disk — 100GB bandwidth Is this 2 CPUs/8GB RAM per VM (in other words, 50 CPUs/200GB RAM)? If so, this is an unbelievable bargain (too good to be true?); other cloud providers charge hundreds of dollars per month for an equivalent VM. If, OTOH, it's 2 CPUs/8GB total, Hetzner offers an equivalent VM for about $5/month (with much more disk and band…
No I apologize for the confusion (exe.dev person here). What is different about this service is you get dedicated resources that you share between your VMs. The initial allocation is conservative, we want to give people more (or drop the price). The goal is to reduce the marginal cost of creating a VM to zero. Instead of installing a container manager or using Unix users, just make another VM. (I will get a better ve…

Are plan CPUs pinned/reserved (dedicated) or time-shared with other customers under load, and what contention should I expect?

#157I wish they'd auto auth you with Github based on your pubkey, in a similar spirit to `ssh whoami.filippo.io`[1]. That would remove so much signup friction. SSH is really the only protocol you can do shenanigans like that over, it's a shame not to use them. [1] (seems overloaded right now) https://words.filippo.io/whoami-updated/
That is neat trick, and interesting to know that's how ssh git@github.com works, but that does not feel practical for a real usecase. Aside from relying on a scrape of the Github users API (there's no "look up user by pubkey" API), what if I wasn't expecting to automatically log in with Github?
Absolutely. For example, if I use specific SSH keys for specific hosts.

#158Earlier quoted context omitted.
"ssh exe.dev" is exactly the Linux command you would use to connect there via ssh. And it's stylized like command prompt.
The question wasn't "how to ssh into a server", it was "how did you figure out what it it from looking at the website"
Because it literally tells you what to do
Re: Exe.dev
#159I'm not a fan of making ssh the primary access mechanism for a service. Just make a simple Web panel for managing VMs, and actually explain on the service on the Web page.
I find ssh faster and easier. Anyway it's a good differentiator, there are plenty of web panels already.

#160I just tried this, genuinely groundbreaking! So quick to spin a VM and get going
