Cloud computer and your own VPS
Choose a managed Box desktop or a hardened container on a Linux server you own.
Box cloud computer
Add a Box API key in App Settings to provision an isolated hosted Linux desktop. The computer can sleep and wake, and supported sessions provide a live viewer for temporary human control.
Box is a third-party paid service after its trial. Dash Bot stores the configured credential locally and does not expose it to the renderer.
Bring your own VPS
Dash Bot can control Docker on an x86_64 Linux server through an SSH config alias. The agent process stays on your local machine; only Docker commands and the managed desktop container run on the VPS.
Your SSH alias should include connection multiplexing, keepalives, and a connect timeout. Connect manually once to approve the host key, then verify:
ssh my-vps true
docker -H ssh://my-vps infoThe SSH user needs Docker access, which is root-equivalent on that server. Use a dedicated VPS and firewall inbound traffic to SSH only.
The managed container publishes no ports, has no host mounts, and is checked before every attach. Its filesystem should be treated as disposable; move important results out before deleting or upgrading the container.
