Welcome
8Labs is a virtual labs platform where you can experiment fearlessly with real Linux environments—no vendor lock-in, no heavy VPS bills. Launch cloud-init ready VMs, get full root access, and practice real-world workflows for systems, networking, and deployments.
What is 8Labs?
Section titled “What is 8Labs?”8Labs provides on-demand virtual machines for learning and building. It’s especially useful for developers, students, researchers, and homelabbers who want a practical, open stack.
Highlights:
- KVM virtualization on Proxmox
- Public IPv6 per lab and private IPv4 networking
- Cloud-init templates (Debian, Ubuntu, Rocky/Alma, FreeBSD)
- In-browser consoles (noVNC, xTerm.js)
- Snapshots and backups on-platform
- Fair-use credits and clear guardrails
Why we built this
Section titled “Why we built this”We want to make hands-on Linux, networking, and infrastructure education accessible and affordable—without forcing you into a single cloud ecosystem. The platform favors open-source tooling and transparent operations.
