Run coding agents on a disposable VPS—one Linux user per agent

At a glance

A Lobsters-linked write-up: isolate Claude Code/Codex-style harnesses on a cheap Hetzner VPS with named users (vikki/clara/…), tmux sessions, a shared bot GitHub account, and disposable machines so yolo-mode stays off your laptop. This workflow is listed under Agent-Harness, VPS, Isolation, Git-Workflow, Async-Agents.

Prompt excerpt

On a fresh VPS: create one OS user per agent, install git/tmux, give each sudo + a bot GitHub SSH key, clone shared CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md. SSH via Host aliases that attach tmux session 'work'. Prefer small artifacts + tutorials over merging raw agent diffs. Throw away the box if it messes up.
