About

bhatti is an open-source, self-hosted platform for running lightweight Linux VMs (powered by Firecracker) on your own hardware. It automatically manages machine lifecycle through hot, warm, and cold thermal states so idle machines consume no CPU or memory. Users can snapshot full machine state including running processes and TCP connections, then resume in milliseconds.

Problem

Running isolated environments typically requires expensive cloud infrastructure or complex orchestration, with idle machines wasting resources continuously.

For

developers and teams who want to run isolated Linux VMs on their own hardware

How it works

A single daemon installed via a shell script manages Firecracker MicroVMs, automatically pausing idle machines, snapshotting them to disk, and transparently waking them on demand via a REST/WebSocket API.
