Show HN: BoxHaven – Run Claude Code and Codex on Persistent Cloud VMs

Score: 6.8/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 7, Documentation: 8, Utility: 6)

BoxHaven provisions persistent cloud VMs (DigitalOcean, Hetzner, E2B, Daytona, Blaxel, exe.dev) so coding agents like Claude Code and Codex can run tasks in parallel and survive laptop disconnects. It combines a Go CLI, managed tmux sessions, rsync-based project sync, SSH certificate forwarding, and an agent skill to let local agents orchestrate remote boxes. The concept addresses a real pain point around long-running agent workloads, though it is early-stage (25 stars, AGPL).

Target audience: AI/dev productivity engineers and backend developers running coding agents
