Hey HF community,

I built a tool that might be relevant to a lot of people here who either have idle GPUs or need compute for quick jobs. It’s called [RunSnack](https://runsnack.com/) — share your GPU with a single link. No accounts, no cloud, no platform fees.

**Why this matters for ML people:**

-
Need an A100 for 2 hours of inference testing? Find a host, get a link, instant terminal.

-
Got a 4090 sitting idle overnight? Share it, set your price, negotiate directly.

-
No KYC, no cloud markup, no usage logs. Just P2P compute.

**How it works:**

-
Host runs a script → gets a shareable link

-
Renter opens link in browser → instant xterm.js terminal with GPU access

-
Everything runs inside a sandboxed Docker container (read-only, privilege-dropped)

-
WebRTC data channel — encrypted, P2P, no central server sees your data

-
Marketplace is organic: post on Discord what you need or offer, negotiate, share link

**Built for the “quick GPU snack” use case:**

-
ML researcher needs 30 min of inference on a GPU they don’t own

-
Student wants to fine-tune a model for a few hours without spinning up a cloud instance

-
Someone with a homelab GPU wants to monetize idle time

**I’d love feedback from this community on:**

-
**Would you use this?** Why or why not?

-
**Security concerns?** Docker sandbox + GPU passthrough — what would make you trust it enough to either host or rent?

-
**What’s missing?** Pre-installed ML frameworks? Persistent storage? Something else?

-
**Pricing expectations?** What would you pay per hour for, say, a 4090 vs an Jetson Nano via a P2P link like this?

-
Is this approach a competitor for sites like **RunPod**?

Thank you!

Lastly, I add this 30-sec YouTube reel so everyone gets better the idea
