# bootload

> Casual container hosting: push an OCI image, get an HTTPS URL. Every app
> runs in its own Firecracker microVM. Prepaid per-second billing with a
> visible monthly cap. By faastic bv (Belgium, EU).

bootload = "boot" (Dutch for boat) + load: a boatload of containers.

## Key facts

- Isolation: one Firecracker microVM per app, jailer-wrapped, no shared runtime
- Pricing: €4/vCPU-month, €2/GB-RAM-month, billed per second; smallest preset
  ("dinghy", ¼ vCPU / 512 MB) ≈ €2/month; 100 GB egress free per project/month
- Storage: LUKS-encrypted volumes (€0.10/GB-mo); encrypted, exportable,
  offline-decryptable backups (€0.05/GB-mo) — no vendor lock-in by design
- Mail: managed SMTP with DKIM, €0.001 per email
- Interfaces: CLI, REST API, web portal, MCP server (AI agents can deploy)
- One-click app library (n8n, more coming) with SMTP/secrets prefilled

## For coding agents

- Agent skill (install this to deploy apps on bootload for your user):
  https://bootload.io/skills/deploy-on-bootload/SKILL.md
- Agent skill (build→push→roll CI/CD pipelines — GitHub Actions, GitLab CI):
  https://bootload.io/skills/ci-cd-on-bootload/SKILL.md
- The CLI is fully non-interactive with `BOOTLOAD_TOKEN` set; add `--plain`
  for stable, parseable output (automatic when stdout is not a terminal)
- One-liner: `curl -fsSL https://bootload.io/v1/cli/install.sh | sh`, then
  `bootload deploy --name app --image <ref> --port 3000:http` → public
  HTTPS URL printed (auto-assigned; no domain required)
