Getting started
Glorp brings local machine setup and controls into Bunzed. The current desktop app uses Lima for its virtual machines. Install Lima on your Mac, then open the Machines page in Bunzed.
The Debian profile is built for Apple Silicon and uses Apple’s native virtualization. A fresh machine has 2 CPUs, 2 GiB of memory, and a 20 GiB disk.
Create or add a machine
Choose New Debian, give the machine a unique name, and select Create Debian. The first setup downloads and provisions a fresh Debian machine, so it needs internet access and can take a few minutes.
Add existing lets you bring another Lima machine into the workspace. Adding it doesn’t change or start it.
Start, stop, and connect
Select a machine to open its details. Start and Stop control the machine; Test connection checks SSH access and the HTTP health endpoint. Copy SSH command gives you the command for opening its shell.
The HTTP check uses a JSON health endpoint on port 80. An HTTP check can fail while SSH access still works. Existing machines need Python 3 and iproute2 for guest inspection.
After setup
The machine’s disk stays in place when you stop it, restart Bunzed, or reboot your Mac. Closing Bunzed leaves running machines running. Use Stop when you want to release their CPU and memory.
The default profile doesn’t share host directories or automatically forward guest service ports to the host. Use the guest address shown after a connection check.
