What is the Fly.io Dev Server skill?

It is a specialized capability that allows Claude to manage and interact with a remote Ubuntu-based development environment hosted on Fly.io, providing commands for connectivity and machine control.

Can this skill help reduce server costs?

Yes, the skill includes explicit commands to stop the server when it is not in use, helping you save on hourly compute costs while preserving your data on persistent volumes.

How do I connect to the server using this skill?

You can ask Claude to 'connect to dev server' or use commands like 'dev' to SSH into the machine and automatically attach to a persistent tmux session.

Does my data stay safe when the server is stopped?

Absolutely. The skill is configured to use Fly.io persistent volumes (e.g., at /data), which ensures your code, dotfiles, and configurations remain intact even when the VM is powered down.

Manages and connects to high-performance remote development environments on Fly.io for persistent, cloud-based coding sessions.

About

This skill provides Claude with the specialized knowledge and command set required to manage a dedicated Fly.io development server. It streamlines remote workflows by handling machine lifecycle tasks like starting, stopping, and status checks, while facilitating seamless SSH connectivity and tmux session management. Designed for developers needing more compute power or a persistent workspace, it ensures that your environment, persistent volumes, and monorepo configurations are always ready for work via simple natural language prompts.

Key Features

Reproducible environment deployment via Docker and automated setup scripts
Automated SSH connection and tmux session attachment for persistent shells
Remote command execution for managing git worktrees and file systems
Remote server lifecycle management including start, stop, and status monitoring
0 GitHub stars
Persistent volume management for 100GB+ workspace data integrity

Use Cases

Automating cloud infrastructure management through Claude's conversational interface
Offloading resource-intensive builds and compute tasks to a high-performance remote machine
Maintaining a consistent development environment across multiple local devices
