What you get after setting up on Vast.ai
Scroll down: the machine assembles itself part by part, from the motherboard to the GPU.
7 machines connected via a tunnel in Sweden.
The same machines the articles are about. The snapshot refreshes hourly; machine IDs and addresses are hidden, the GPU stands in for the ID.

10 articles free of charge: they help you decide and not lose money on the move.
- Linux commands for a GPU host: a searchable cheat sheet12 minOver a hundred commands you need on a Vast.ai server every week: GPUs, disks, network, services, Docker, logs and the Vast daemon itself. A one-line explanation for each and keyword search. Free.
- Hashcats on an RTX 4090: how long a cat takes and what it really costs7 minLive numbers from hashcats.fun: a 42–45-bit target, 4–35 trillion hashes per cat, 15 minutes to 2 hours on one RTX 4090 in CUDA. And why the bottleneck is not the card but the $206 entry price.
- How to connect to a server without a public IP over a reverse SSH tunnel12 minNo public IP, port forwarding impossible — and we still get in. A reverse SSH tunnel to a hub, a browser terminal, our own latency numbers, and the four mistakes that got us here.
- Clore or Vast.ai: where to rent out your GPU — a 7-point comparison10 minDemand, pricing, payouts, entry barrier, tooling, support and the score — measured on our own six-machine fleet: $1,737 in August 2026 at 90% utilization, 100% of the rate to the host and a +33% markup added for the client. Including what broke on our side and where we got it wrong.

- From idle to income: the complete Vast.ai server migration16 000 ₽From mining, rentals or Clore — 9 chapters from hardware audit to first orders: commands, install, RKN-bypass, pricing and monitoring. Everything to switch without losing income. 56 min.
- Server setup for Vast.ai: from hardware to first order8 000 ₽Drivers, Docker, host agent and tests — a stable node from the first launch. 30 min.
- Pricing and maximizing GPU utilization8 000 ₽How to price so your cards stay busy and earn the most. 25 min.

- Backup tunnel: how to survive a VPS outage without losing clients8 000 ₽Every VPS at one provider rebooted at once — and the rigs went down with them. The solution is a backup VPS in another country, which the machines jump to automatically. 9 chapters: what happens to the score, why the usual advice fails, and a ready failover script with rollback. 32 min.
- The machine is “inactive” yet everything works: a stuck vast controller5 000 ₽A rare failure no routine check catches: the link is perfect, the tunnel is up, clients are running — yet the marketplace considers the machine dead. The diagnosis and a watchdog that fixes it on its own. 11 min.
- VM mode on a multi-GPU server: from BIOS to the first client5 000 ₽Virtual-machine mode opens a client segment that container rentals never see. 9 chapters on setting up a multi-GPU server: the three admission conditions, ACS in the BIOS, hardening the cards against the power-saving trap, a controlled ladder of 1 → 2 → 3 → 4 cards in virtual machines before the first client, three failures of the enabling script that report the wrong thing, and the main trap of a multi-GPU build — the marketplace's hourly job that wipes the VM flag. Working scripts and watchdogs included. 63 min.

GPU payback at high utilisation, by public Vast.ai rates; from 17 months in the best cases
On Vast.ai the GPUs run neural networks: the load is gentler than round-the-clock mining, wear is lower and demand is higher.
