Vms hosted in Hetzner auction instances is exactly how shellbox works. I published more details in here: https://shellbox.dev/blog/race-to-the-bottom.html

Love the website and how you have implemented payments! Also giving each box an email is a nice touch.

Thank you for sharing!

This is pretty cool, I turned a NUC at home into this, and would probably rather use you guys instead. However, is there a way for me to keep a session open without being connected? Sometimes I want the session to be there so I can connect/disconnect to check up on it, so I want "just disconnecting for a bit" to be different from "I don't care about this any more, destroy it".

At home, I've done that with a Zellij session (everything is tied to the session, and quitting Zellij completely means "I'm done with this". Merely disconnecting keeps it running).
