Long-running tasks
Let Gemini work on complex refactors, migrations, and multi-file changes without worrying about your laptop closing.
Gemini CLI
Pre-installed & ready to use
Gemini CLI.
Your cloud dev box.
A dedicated VPS with Gemini CLI pre-installed. SSH in and let Gemini write, test, and ship code on a persistent server — 24/7.
What is Gemini CLI
Google's coding agent in your terminal.
Gemini CLI is Google's agentic coding tool. It runs in your terminal, understands your codebase, and can write code, fix bugs, run commands, and handle multi-step development tasks — all through natural language.
Powered by Google's Gemini models, it reads your project, makes coordinated edits, runs tests, and iterates until things work. Open source and built for developers.

Editing src/routes/api.ts
Running npm test
All tests passing. Error handling added.
Why hosted
A coding agent needs a persistent environment.
Dedicated resources
Your own VPS with dedicated CPU, RAM, and disk. Gemini has room to clone repos, build projects, and run test suites.
Isolated sandbox
Your code stays on your server. SSH key-only access, firewall on, no shared tenancy. Safe to give Gemini broad permissions.
Why BotVPS
Skip the server setup. Start coding.

Gemini CLI v1.x
> Set up the project and run the tests
Done. All tests passing.
Not just Gemini CLI. Every BotVPS comes with Node.js, Python, Go, Docker, and Git — so you can also run Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, Amp, Aider, Augment, Cline, Continue, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Goose, Kilo Code, Roo Code, Windsurf, and any other terminal-based AI agent. Full SSH access means you can install anything.
How it works
Three steps to a coding agent.
1
Pick a plan & deploy
Choose your resources, paste your SSH key, and pay. Your VPS provisions in about 3 minutes with Gemini CLI already installed.
2
SSH in & set your key
Set your GEMINI_API_KEY environment variable. That's all the configuration you need.
Run gemini
Start coding. Gemini reads your project, makes edits, runs tests, and iterates. Use tmux to keep sessions alive.
Use cases
What people build with Gemini CLI on BotVPS.
Feature development
Describe what you want. Gemini implements it across multiple files, writes tests, and creates a PR.
Bug fixing
Point Gemini at a failing test or error log. It traces the issue, applies a fix, and verifies it passes.
Refactoring
Large-scale code migrations, API changes, and architecture refactors that touch dozens of files.
Code exploration
Understand unfamiliar codebases. Gemini reads the source, explains architecture, and answers questions.
FAQ
Common questions.
What is Gemini CLI?
Gemini CLI is Google's agentic coding tool. It runs in your terminal and can write code, fix bugs, run commands, search codebases, and perform complex multi-step development tasks through natural language, powered by Gemini models.
Do I need my own API key?
Yes. You bring your own Gemini API key. This keeps your usage and costs transparent — you pay Google directly for the AI usage. BotVPS only charges for the server infrastructure.
How is this different from running Gemini CLI locally?
Running Gemini CLI on a VPS gives you a persistent, isolated environment. Long tasks keep running when you close your laptop. You get dedicated resources without competing with your local work. And the isolated sandbox means Gemini can operate with broader permissions safely.
Is my code private?
Your code runs on a dedicated VPS that isn't shared with anyone else. Access is SSH key-only with a deny-all firewall. We don't have access to your API keys, code, or conversations with Gemini.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. No contracts, no commitments. Delete your VPS from the dashboard anytime. Billing stops immediately.
