oh-sandbox

a shared server for the Office Hours crew · oh.wholetech.com

This is an expendable Ubuntu box offered to friends from Office Hours Global who want a place to build, test, and host community projects — backend experiments, bots, tools, whatever the show needs. It's paid for and maintained by a longtime OH regular via the WholeTech network.

Want access? Send your SSH public key (the .pub file — never the private one) and you'll get your own user account with sudo.

House rules

Be a good neighbor — it's one shared 1GB box (bigger if we outgrow it).
No crypto mining, no scanning/spam, nothing that gets the IP blocklisted.
Assume it can be wiped and restored from a clean snapshot at any time — keep your work in git.
