# VPS hosting
|
|
|
|
This hub links to the supported VPS/hosting guides and explains how cloud
|
|
deployments work at a high level.
|
|
|
|
## Pick a provider
|
|
|
|
- **Oracle Cloud (Always Free)**: [Oracle](/platforms/oracle) — $0/month (Always Free, ARM; capacity/signup can be finicky)
|
|
- **Fly.io**: [Fly.io](/platforms/fly)
|
|
- **Hetzner (Docker)**: [Hetzner](/platforms/hetzner)
|
|
- **GCP (Compute Engine)**: [GCP](/platforms/gcp)
|
|
- **exe.dev** (VM + HTTPS proxy): [exe.dev](/platforms/exe-dev)
|
|
- **AWS (EC2/Lightsail/free tier)**: works well too. Video guide:

|
|
|
|
## How cloud setups work
|
|
|
|
- The **Gateway runs on the VPS** and owns state + workspace.
|
|
- You connect from your laptop/phone via the **Control UI** or **Tailscale/SSH**.
|
|
- Treat the VPS as the source of truth and **back up** the state + workspace.
|
|
- Secure default: keep the Gateway on loopback and access it via SSH tunnel or Tailscale Serve.
|
|
If you bind to `lan`/`tailnet`, require `gateway.auth.token` or `gateway.auth.password`.

## Using nodes with a VPS
|
|
|
|
You can keep the Gateway in the cloud and pair **nodes** on your local devices
|
|
(Mac/iOS/Android/headless). Nodes provide local screen/camera/canvas and `system.run`
|
|
capabilities while the Gateway stays in the cloud.
