OpenComputer is an AI agent deployment platform for developers to run TS agents in Linux sandboxes.

29 visitors 14 hours ago

When teams try to deploy AI agents, they face complex setup, security concerns, and unpredictable environments. OpenComputer provides a cloud platform that runs AI agents as TypeScript functions inside Linux sandbox sandboxes with hardware-level isolation.

Stop Wasting Time on Complex Deployments

With OpenComputer, deploy durable sessions that stream outputs and support hibernation and resumption, so work continues where you left off.

Get Secure, Reproducible Compute

Each agent session runs on a real Linux machine with shell access, filesystem, and network egress. API keys are injected securely after requests leave the sandbox, keeping credentials safe.

Verification Options:

1.

Email Verification: Verify ownership through your domain email.

2.

File Verification: Place our file in your server.

After verification, you'll have access to manage your AI tool's information (pending approval).

Pros

  • Real Linux machine sessions with SSH and full filesystem access.
  • Durable sessions with streaming that pause, resume, and persist state.
  • Secure credential handling with API keys injected post-sandbox.

Cons

  • Exporting artifacts back to my workstation is a little fiddly.
  • Mounting host files into the sandbox has a few edge cases that require support.
  • Initial setup to align TS projects with the sandbox can be fiddly at first.

I needed a reliable playground to ship TS agents for client automations, and having a real Linux machine inside a sandbox changed my pace. I can SSH in, inspect files, and run commands as if I were on a real host. The durable sessions let me pause and resume long workflows without losing state, which is a lifesaver for tight deadlines. Credentials are injected post-sandbox, so secrets never sit in the sandbox.

Real Linux shell access inside a sandbox sped up automation work

Used for week to month

What I liked

  • Real Linux machine sessions with SSH and full filesystem access.
  • Durable sessions with streaming that pause, resume, and persist state.
  • Secure credential handling with API keys injected post-sandbox.

What could be better

  • Mounting host files into the sandbox has a few edge cases that require support.
  • Initial setup to align TS projects with the sandbox can be fiddly at first.

Shared sandboxes and streaming sessions boosted team velocity

Used for 1-3 months

What I liked

  • Durable sessions with streaming let us pause, resume, and preserve progress across tasks.
  • Shared sandboxes enable teammates to review and contribute without duplicating work.
  • Secure credential handling keeps API keys injected post-sandbox, reducing leakage risk.

What could be better

  • Streaming large logs can show latency during busy steps.
  • Permissions for sandbox sharing could be clearer in the UI.
  • Pricing isn't clearly aligned for multi-project teams; we must monitor usage.

I manage a small DevOps team prototyping MCP-driven agents, and the combination of shared sandboxes and streaming sessions finally speeds up reviews. We can pause a run, hand it to a teammate, and pick up where we left off without restarting from scratch. Secrets stay protected thanks to post-sandbox API key injection.
