exe.dev VM Management

Quick Commands

TaskCommand
List VMs
ssh exe.dev ls --json
Create VM
ssh exe.dev new
Make public
ssh exe.dev share set-public <vm>
Change port
ssh exe.dev share port <vm> <port>
Add user
ssh exe.dev share add <vm> <email>
Share link
ssh exe.dev share add-link <vm>

Access URLs

  • VM: 
    https://<vmname>.exe.xyz/
  • Shelley agent: 
    https://<vmname>.exe.xyz:9999/
  • VSCode: 
    vscode://vscode-remote/ssh-remote+<vmname>.exe.xyz/home/exedev

Proxy Configuration

Default port is auto-selected from Dockerfile EXPOSE. Change with:

ssh exe.dev share port <vmname> <port>

Access ports 3000-9999 via 

https://vmname.exe.xyz:<port>/

Authentication Headers

When users authenticate via exe.dev:

  • X-ExeDev-UserID
    — user identifier
  • X-ExeDev-Email
    — user email

For testing, use mitmproxy to inject headers:

mitmdump --mode reverse:http://localhost:8000 --listen-port 3000 \
  --set modify_headers='/~q/X-ExeDev-Email/user@example.com'

Custom Domains

  • Subdomains: CNAME 
    app.example.com
    → 
    vmname.exe.xyz
  • Apex: ALIAS 
    example.com
    → 
    exe.xyz
    + CNAME 
    www
    → 
    vmname.exe.xyz
