Repository work outlives your laptop
Run longer builds, test suites, migrations, and background tasks on a persistent Linux host you can reach over SSH.
02 / Codex workload / persistent Linux
Give Codex somewhere persistent to work.
Ask Codex to read one guide, compare live VPS plans, and prepare the machine it needs. You approve keys, wallet funding, and the final x402 payment.
No account required for eligible workloads. Live API readiness, inventory, and HTTP 402 terms determine whether checkout can proceed.
Fastest start / one message
Pass the guide to your agent.
A web-enabled agent can read the canonical instructions and live catalog. If it cannot open URLs, paste the full contents of llms.txt into the conversation.
Paste into Codex
Read https://warpmetal.com/llms.txt before taking action. Help me choose and order a WarpMetal server for this Codex workload: [describe the repository, build, or automation]. Use the live catalog and explain each step. Ask before creating or funding a wallet, generating a new SSH key, or authorizing payment.Designed for controlled autonomy
The agent can do the work. You keep the authority.
Codex reads the procurement runbook
The guide tells Codex how to discover images, create an idempotent order, handle x402 retries, and poll provisioning safely.
No provider credential in the prompt
Codex interacts only with WarpMetal's public contract. The underlying infrastructure API key remains server-side.
Destructive actions stay explicit
OS reload and other lifecycle mutations require confirmation, idempotency, and an authorized management token.
Four public resource classes
Pick the amount of machine the work needs.
Prices cover one 30-day term. Exact operating systems and purchase availability come from the live catalog; exact payment details come only from the live x402 challenge.

Good fit / explicit environment
Workloads that benefit from a real host.
Large builds and test matrices
Move CPU- and memory-heavy validation to Build or Heavy capacity while keeping your local machine responsive.
Persistent development environments
Keep dependencies, caches, containers, and working trees available between Codex sessions.
Deployment rehearsal
Use a clean Linux host to reproduce production behavior before changing a real application environment.
Purchase flow / four boundaries
From workload to SSH.
The browser page explains the product. The machine contract and live API control every operational decision.
- 01
Read the contract
The agent reads llms.txt before preparing any order.
GET /llms.txt - 02
Choose live capacity
It selects a public plan and exact free Linux image.
GET /api/catalog - 03
Prepare, review, and pay
You review the live x402 amount, asset, network, and recipient.
POST /api/checkout - 04
Poll and connect
The task becomes ready with an IP and your installed SSH key.
ssh root@IP
Before first boot
Questions for codex users.
01Does WarpMetal include Codex?+
No. WarpMetal supplies the Linux VPS. You install and authenticate Codex using the official method appropriate for your own account and environment.
02Can Codex choose the plan?+
Yes. Give it the workload and budget constraints. It can compare the live catalog, explain the tradeoff, and prepare the order for your approval.
03Does Codex need the recovery token forever?+
No. Save the one-time owner token offline for recovery. Routine management uses a short-lived token obtained by proving possession of the installed SSH key.
04Is WarpMetal affiliated with OpenAI?+
No. WarpMetal is an independent VPS service. Codex is referenced only as a workload and agent interface that can follow WarpMetal's public guide.
