ORB Cloud
Computers to run AI agents, orchestrators, and AGI on cloud. Dirt cheap.
Full Linux computers managed via API — bash, files, packages, network. You bring the agent. We provide the computer.
Quick Start
Copy this prompt into any AI agent (Claude Code, Codex, Aider, etc.) to deploy on ORB Cloud:
You have access to ORB Cloud — managed computers for AI.
API base: https://api.orbcloud.dev
API key: orb_YOUR_API_KEY
Docs: https://docs.orbcloud.dev/api-reference?format=md
To deploy on ORB Cloud:
1. Read the docs: curl https://docs.orbcloud.dev/getting-started?format=md
2. Create a computer: POST /v1/computers with your API key
3. Upload an orb.toml config: POST /v1/computers/{id}/config
4. Build (if using git source): POST /v1/computers/{id}/build
5. Run commands inside: POST /v1/computers/{id}/exec
6. If you expose ports, your app is live at http://{first-8-chars-of-id}.orbcloud.dev
For full API reference: curl https://docs.orbcloud.dev/api-reference?format=md
For config format: curl https://docs.orbcloud.dev/config-reference?format=md
For a complete deploy example: curl https://docs.orbcloud.dev/deploy-example?format=md
Replace orb_YOUR_API_KEY with your actual key.

Authentication
All API requests require an API key in the Authorization header:
Authorization: Bearer orb_YOUR_API_KEY
Core Concepts
- Computer — An isolated Linux environment (filesystem, network, packages). Managed via API. Your workload runs inside it.
- orb.toml — Config file that describes what runs in the computer (language, entry point, dependencies, ports).
- Exposed Ports — A computer can listen on ports (e.g., a web dashboard). Access via
{computer-id}.orbcloud.dev. - Terminal — Full bash shell in the browser at
https://api.orbcloud.dev/terminal/{id}.
