We work on GPU accelerated VMs, so that in future we can also bring NixOS + VPNs to desktops/end users to machines that don't run NixOS. We will use it as an application runtime where can control the whole stack. Just now we are mostly focused on managing distributed NixOS machines. The VPN helps to provide services on any kind computer, even if not running in a datacenter. You can read the description here for context: https://docs.clan.lol/

Maybe I'm in the same boat as people who didn't get docker before it was popular, but this seems really convoluted to me... is there really a market for this? Why do other existing things not solve this problem?

  • There is huge demand right now to create sandboxes for agents. VMs are one way, and Clan one solution for VM management.

    Maybe they are not the right solution, but they are working on the right problem.

    Of course, they don't say the focus on agents, but if the solution works with them, it doesn't matter that it was built for gamers.
