rdev turns a Linux server you own into a ready development environment with AI agents. Your code, databases and agents live on that server and run around the clock. Your laptop is only the editor and the browser.
What rdev is
rdev is a subscription that installs and maintains a complete development environment on your own server. One install command sets up everything: the environment, the databases, the AI agent profile and a private network connection to your laptop. After that, rdev keeps the environment up to date.
You do not rent a server from us. You bring your own server from any provider, pay that provider directly, and rdev turns it into your daily workspace.
Who it is for
- Developers who run AI agents for long stretches. An agent on your laptop stops when you close the lid, and it drains the battery while it works. On your server it keeps going all night.
- Freelancers and agencies who work on many client projects, especially Laravel and WordPress sites, and want them all in one place.
- Teams that want their code to stay on servers they control.
How rdev differs
From a local setup
Local tools run everything on your laptop. With rdev the same kind of setup runs on your server instead: every PHP version from 7.4 to 8.5, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis and trusted HTTPS sites. Your laptop stays cool, and your agents keep working when it sleeps.
From cloud IDEs
Cloud development environments run on someone else's infrastructure and usually bill by the hour. rdev runs on your own server for a fixed monthly or annual price, and your code never leaves it. You keep your usual editor and browser instead of working in a browser IDE.
The short version
- Your code stays on your server. We never receive your code, your databases or your agent conversations.
- Your laptop is just the editor and the browser. Files sync to the server, and sites open at
https://<name>.dev.test. - Agents run 24/7. Claude Code, Codex and other agents work on the server, not on your laptop.
- No DevOps required. You install nothing yourself; the install command does it all.
