What the machine needs.
Requirements
- Operating system
- Linux
- Sandboxes
- Linux namespaces by default. A microVM when an app needs root, such as Docker: with KVM (
/dev/kvm), or emulated and much slower without it. - Free disk
- More than 10 % free on the workspace’s disk. Below that, xbin refuses new sandboxes that apps start and blocks writes by the largest apps.
Or try it free for an hour.
A hosted xbin workspace, free for an hour, started with one ssh command. All you need is an ssh client.
