Overview
Overalls is a self-hosted platform that runs development machines as persistent Firecracker microVMs (NixOS, Ubuntu or Windows). Each keeps its disk, name and address across stop, start, resize, clone and move. It has its own agent that keeps working after you disconnect, and Claude Code and Codex come pre-installed with no API keys on the machine. The README labels it a research preview.
Who it is for: Teams self-hosting remote dev machines for people and AI coding agents
Strengths
- Persistent microVMs keep disk, name and address through stop, resize, clone and move
- Agent threads keep running after you disconnect and wake stopped machines
- Claude Code and Codex pre-installed, no API keys on machine, per-token accounting
- Access via browser, SSH, VS Code, overalls CLI or mobile app
Weaknesses
- Research preview; README says not for consumption
- No hosted version; you install and operate it yourself
- Hardware requirements and install steps are only on the website, not the README
- No tagged release published
What it needs
- Needs Firecracker, NixOS
- Models: Claude Code, Codex
