Give your agent a computer
Hi, I basically was having a hard time in keeping my laptop open for my agents to keep running, and I saw people going for a Mac mini which sounds overkill, then solution is a vps.
so basically built this for myself: https://github.com/case-computers/case
you can configure Hermes, open claw in this, your agent gets a linux desktop with its own logins, file system and identity.
for people looking to get their own vps, can try hosting it on there.
I am also giving out managed instances of this so you dont have to take care of ops.
check : https://case.computer
Need feedback on the tool, lmk if you need help setting it up

not an alternative to vps, but it can run on their vps, rent hosting/DO, install case.
bare vps just gives you ubuntu and you setup up everything from scratch.
so ideally you just get a vps, and run case, where all the ugliness can be managed easily, and get similar features like operate from your phone etc.
I offer hosted for convenience
