Moving from Cube Computer
A new home for your coding agent's computer.
Cube Computer has announced that it is shutting down. If you used it to keep Claude Code, Codex or another agent running on a cloud machine, TaskCloud offers a persistent Linux VM that pauses itself when idle and resumes with your sessions intact.
What we know, and what we offer
Only facts with a date. We are not affiliated with Cube Computer, have no access to your Cube data and cannot migrate it for you.
| Announcement | The Cube Computer website states: “Cube and Proton are sunsetting” (cube.computer, page seen 2026-11-08). Check their site for dates and data-export instructions. |
|---|---|
| TaskCloud status | Private beta, onboarding from the waitlist in batches. Not generally available yet. |
| The machine | Firecracker microVM with its own kernel, Ubuntu 24.04, root, systemd and Docker. 50 GB persistent disk on default (4 vCPU / 8 GB). |
| Access | SSH through our gateway, a public HTTPS URL per port, exec and files API, optional browser desktop. |
| Idle behaviour | Auto-pause after 5 idle minutes (configurable): RAM and disk are snapshotted and compute billing stops. SSH, HTTP or an API call wakes it. Resume target: p95 < 800 ms (a target, not yet a measured figure). |
| Price | $0.030 per active hour for default, billed per second; $0 compute while paused. Starter: $19/month including $19 usage credit (about 630 active hours of default); unused credit expires at the end of each month. Always-on alternative: $19.90/month for a default VM that never pauses. |
| Region | EU only. No GPUs. |
Moving your setup
There is no automatic import from Cube. These steps work for any Linux dev box.
- 01 · EXPORT
Save what matters
Push repos, copy dotfiles and agent config (for example
~/.claude,~/.codex), and note installed packages. Do not copy API keys into shared places; re-create them. - 02 · CREATE
Start a VM
Create a
defaultVM from the base Ubuntu 24.04 template, or bring your own Docker/OCI image with your tools preinstalled. - 03 · RESTORE
Install and log in
SSH in, clone your repos, restore dotfiles and log in to your agent CLI. Run it in
tmuxso sessions are easy to reattach. - 04 · LEAVE IT
Let it pause
Close your laptop. The VM pauses after 5 idle minutes and resumes on your next SSH connection with tmux and processes still there.
Tip: once it is set up, save the VM as a template so you can recreate or fork it later.
