Cline Hosting on a Real microVM

Run the Cline coding-agent CLI on its own Firecracker microVM. Terminal and headless modes, not a hosted VS Code extension. BYOK, 30-day money-back.

Cline’s mindshare is massive, and the CLI makes “run Cline in the cloud” a real product — not a screenshot of VS Code in a browser. We don’t host the extension UI. We give you a Firecracker microVM with the Cline agent runtime, so headless jobs and interactive sessions stay isolated from your laptop.

What Cline is

Cline is a hugely popular open coding agent — known first as a VS Code extension, and now with a first-class CLI for interactive and headless runs. jurniti hosts the agent runtime in a microVM, not the IDE chrome. You get an always-on box with cline on PATH; connect your models and rules there, and keep your local editor on your machine.

It’s happiest on a box that’s always on: hand it a refactor, a failing suite, or a multi-file cleanup and let it grind while your laptop is elsewhere.

Why a real microVM for Cline

A coding agent runs bash. It installs packages, edits files, and executes model-chosen commands. On your laptop, that has the run of your home directory, SSH keys, and browser sessions. Containers share the host kernel. jurniti gives Cline its own Firecracker microVM — own kernel, KVM hardware boundary, one tenant per box. Hand it root there; a runaway stays contained. Something goes sideways? Reprovision in seconds.

You keep your model / product relationship. jurniti’s BYOK is architectural: credentials live only in your VM, traffic goes straight to the vendor, and we never sit as a token proxy.

Most CLI agent work runs on Starter (1 vCPU / 2 GiB). Every plan has a 30-day money-back guarantee on first purchase; workspace kept 7 days after cancellation.

Run Cline in 3 steps

1. Pick a plan and pay

Starter is enough for most Cline work. Checkout runs the auto-provision chain — no manual SSH to stand the box up.

2. Your microVM boots with Cline ready

A fresh Ubuntu microVM boots with the CLI pre-installed and on your PATH. Open the in-browser terminal:

`cline auth` (or your BYOK flow), then `cline`

3. Put it to work

Point it at a repo, hand it a task, close your laptop. Config on the persistent home survives restarts. Snapshot into a template when you want to fork the setup without leaking credentials.

What people run Cline for

  • Always-on sessions. Long refactors and test loops that outlast a commute.
  • Isolation for autonomy. Give the agent a real shell without risking your primary machine.
  • A pinned environment. Tools and project state set up once, always there.
  • Parallel agents. Multiple microVMs instead of a tangle of local tabs.

Pricing and guarantee

Plans from $25/mo (annual available). First-purchase 30-day money-back. Model / product subscription is yours — no token markup. See pricing and the product page for Cline.

Frequently asked questions

Can I run Cline on a server?
Yes. Cline is a terminal coding agent — it needs a shell and your files more than a GPU. jurniti gives it a dedicated Firecracker microVM with an in-browser terminal, a persistent home, and isolation from your laptop so long jobs survive when you close the lid.
Do I need my own API key or subscription?
Yes. Authenticate with `cline auth` or your provider keys inside the VM. jurniti never stores your model credentials in the control plane.
Why a microVM instead of Docker or my laptop?
Coding agents run real shell commands. On your laptop, a bad `rm` or a prompt injection has the run of your home directory. Shared containers share a kernel. jurniti gives Cline its own Firecracker microVM — own kernel, KVM boundary, one tenant per box.
How much does it cost to host Cline?
Plans start at $25/mo ($250/year — two months free), with a 30-day money-back guarantee on first purchase. Starter (1 vCPU / 2 GiB) is enough for most CLI agent work. Model spend is separate and never marked up.
Will my config survive a restart?
Yes. Your home directory is on a persistent volume, so settings, rules, and project state survive restarts and reprovisions. You can snapshot into a forkable template — credentials are scrubbed on public publish.
Is this an official Cline product?
No. jurniti is independent managed hosting for the Cline CLI runtime. We install upstream Cline; we do not resell Cline subscriptions or host the VS Code extension itself.
