# Ghostbox

> Ghostbox provides disposable temporary machines you can SSH into, run work, and discard — ideal for agents, builds, and tasks you don't want on your laptop.

Ghostbox lets you borrow disposable temporary machines via a simple CLI, SSH in, do your work, and let the machine disappear when you're done. It aggregates spare compute from sources like GitHub Actions and other pockets of temporary infrastructure across the internet, presenting them as a single lightweight machine. Ghostbox is especially useful for running coding agents, weird builds, or web app previews without exposing your local machine or leaving servers running.

- **`ghost up` CLI** — *Install the CLI or run the one-liner install script, then type `ghost up` to get a temporary machine instantly.*
- **Disposable workstations for agents** — *Give coding agents a real machine with shell, repo, packages, network, and preview URL that expires when the job is done.*
- **Secret scoping** — *Pass only the secrets a job needs to the temporary machine, keeping your local environment safe.*
- **Preview URL exposure** — *Expose a web app preview without touching DNS or opening your laptop to the internet.*
- **Global Free Tier** — *Access spare machines from GitHub Actions and other temporary compute sources around the internet at no cost.*
- **Session and log management** — *Keep logs, sessions, and cleanup in one place, with machines that expire automatically.*
- **No persistent infrastructure** — *No platform to manage, no sysadmin required, no server left running after the work is done.*
