Noisebridge has possession of many, many computers from OSDN and other donors.  About the first third of the machines have been colocated in Redwood City.  Two cabinets of machines have been set up and are connected to the Internet.  Talk to one of the people involved with the project to request access and/or volunteer for an ops shift or mentoring duty.

Machines are shut down every day at 3 AM and wiped.  Machines can be told to stay up persistently, see the cloud controller code for details.
 
== Running Services on Pilot Machines ==


For cost reasons, powering on the spare machines at each hosting site isn't done except in the case where Noisecloud is the only option available for hosting your project.  However, some non-dedicated capacity is available for noncommercial projects.

Each colocation site has one low power pilot machine which stays on 24x7 to provide local control over the other machines.  Although access to the pilot machine itself is restricted, most sites can run containers or virtual machines on their pilot machines.  To have a container or virtual machine started for you, send an SSH public key to [[User:Dr_jesus|Dr. Jesus]] and a brief description of what your needs are.  Only noncommercial uses of Noisecloud are permitted.
