Recipes

The ten things people do with Vakna, each a block you can paste and the receipt it prints.

• Run your tests in a box: Run a project's test suite in an isolated box and read the receipt it prints.
• Fork a box for a test matrix: Fork one box fifty times from a snapshot and run the same command in each, with one receipt for the lot.
• Resume yesterday's box: Resume a suspended box where it stopped, with its processes, memory and ports as they were.
• Allow a box to reach a host: Let a box in lockdown reach one host, such as a package registry, through Vakna's proxy.
• Post a receipt to a pull request: Put a task's receipt in a pull request comment, so reviewers see what ran and what it cost.
• Run Claude Code inside a box: Run a coding agent in a throwaway box, so the code it writes and runs never touches your machine.
• Budget a task before you scale it: Run a task small, read its cost on the receipt, then decide how many boxes to fork.
• Try a public repo without an account: Run a public repository's tests in a trial box that lives for an hour, with no account.
• Copy a project into a box: Send your working directory into a box with tar over vakna shell, with no upload step.
• Find the boxes that need you: See which boxes in a large task are stuck or waiting on an answer, and attach to one.
