WebVM is a Linux virtual machine that runs entirely client-side in the browser via WebAssembly, powered by the CheerpX x86-to-WASM JIT engine. It runs an unmodified Debian distribution with native toolchains and supports Tailscale networking.
Use cases
- run a linux vm in the browser
- try debian without installing anything
- sandboxed linux environment in webassembly
- test linux toolchains from a browser tab
- demo a linux desktop environment online
When to choose
- you need a zero-install Linux environment accessible from any browser
- you want a sandboxed, client-side VM for demos or education
- you need Tailscale-connected browser networking
When to avoid
- you need full hardware virtualization or KVM-level performance
- you require ICMP/ping or other low-level networking operations
- you need a persistent, production-grade server environment
