Why not just rent a GPU?

You can. Vast.ai, Salad, Akash and RunPod all rent you a stranger's GPU by the hour, and if that's what you need, they're good at it. RunSnack solves a different problem: getting someone specific onto your hardware, right now. A student on the lab's GPU. A maintainer on your Jetson to reproduce a bug. A collaborator on the robot in the next building. No account for them to create, no listing to publish, no marketplace to wait for — just a link. That's why it works the moment you install it, with a network of one.

What RunSnack deliberately doesn't do

No escrow, no payments, no SLA. If money changes hands, that's between you and the other person and we're not involved. Sessions are sandboxed in Docker, but Docker is a sandbox, not a hypervisor, and read the before you share with anyone else.

Legal & Privacy

RunSnack connects two users directly, peer to peer. We don't operate, monitor, or store any part of a session.

We store no personal information and keep no logs of what anyone does with RunSnack.

We charge no fees, ever. Any price you and another user agree on is a private arrangement between the two of you — we're not a party to it and don't process any payment.

This site sets no cookies of its own, aside from Cloudflare's own baseline security infrastructure (bot/abuse protection), which we don't control and don't use to track you.

We take no responsibility for how RunSnack is used, or for disputes between users. It's provided as-is, with no warranty — use it at your own risk.

FAQ

Is it safe?

Sessions run inside a sandboxed Docker container. Whoever you share a link with gets a terminal inside that container, not your host machine. The container is read-only, privilege-dropped, and wiped after each session.

How is this different from Vast.ai, Salad or RunPod?

Those are marketplaces: you rent a stranger's GPU by the hour, through an account, with the platform in the middle. RunSnack is a tool — you hand your own hardware to someone you choose, in one link, with nobody in between. It also runs on anything with Docker: a Jetson, an old card, a laptop, not just what a marketplace happens to stock.

How much does it cost?

RunSnack is FREE. You negotiate price directly with the renter — there's no platform fee & no middleman.

What GPUs work?

Any NVIDIA GPU with Docker and the NVIDIA Container Toolkit installed, e.g., from a Jetson Nano to RTX 5080 or an B200. Technically, any machine works — even CPU-only. But RunSnack is built for GPUs.

What commands can I use inside a session?

Upload files: drag and drop any file onto the terminal window — it lands in /home/snackuser/uploads/.

Download files: type snack-download /path/to/file and your browser will download it.

Close the session (renter): just close the browser tab.

Stop sharing (host): run docker stop snack1 or use the TUI with docker exec -it snack1 snackctl.

How do I book a RunSnack and get paid?

Arrange it directly with the renter on our Discord. PayPal, crypto, whatever works. Or skip payment entirely: share with a friend for free, or use it to access your own machine remotely.
