Ubuntu 22.04 Playground

About This Playground

Want to try a Linux command, test an installation script, or explore Ubuntu without cluttering your laptop or provisioning a cloud server?

iximiuz Labs' Ubuntu 22.04 playground gives you a fresh, vanilla Ubuntu server with root access and a familiar command-line environment. It starts in seconds, opens in your browser, and behaves like a regular remote machine: install packages with APT, manage services with systemd, configure the network, create users, compile software, and change almost anything you like.

This is a real VM, not a container pretending to be a server. The playground has its own kernel, root filesystem, network interface, and init system, so low-level Linux tools and server-side software work as expected. You can even install Docker, Kubernetes, a database, or an entire application stack—much like you would on a VPS, a cloud instance, or a machine in your homelab.

Use the Ubuntu playground for learning Linux, testing shell scripts and configuration changes, troubleshooting packages and services, building software, and running short-lived development or demo environments. It is also a handy clean room for reproducing bugs: start from a known state, apply only the steps under investigation, and destroy the machine when you're done.

For everything else, start the VM and get your hands dirty. Break a service, misconfigure the network, fill the package database with experiments—then destroy the machine and start fresh. That's what playgrounds are for.

Happy hacking!
