How it works

Press start and you get your own real, disposable Linux VM — in the browser terminal or over SSH. Work the task on a live system; tmpfs.tech grades your solution automatically against the actual machine state, then throws the box away. No install, free to try as a guest.

FAQ

Is it free? Yes — play as a guest, no signup required to start.

Do I need to install anything? No. Everything runs in your browser, or connect over SSH if you prefer your own terminal.

How is it graded? Automatically and deterministically — your work is checked against the real state of the machine you worked on.
