A computer stays on your account until you delete it. One made by cool publish without signing in is deleted, with its site, after 24 hours unless you claim it. Closing a browser tab or leaving a terminal keeps its files and identity in place.

Published files

A site’s releases stay until you delete the computer. cool releases bakery lists them, and cool releases promote bakery 2 makes an earlier one live again.

Writable disk

On a computer with a VM, the VM keeps running after you disconnect, and its complete writable disk persists. This includes code, installed packages, databases, configuration, and local state.

Identity

The computer keeps its name, name.cool.computer address, and name@mail.cool.computer inbox.

Configured service

On a computer with a VM, the configured service keeps running after you disconnect. Requests to the public address that no published file answers reach its exposed HTTP port. If the process exits, inspect its logs and restart it with cool service restart bakery.

Deletion

Deleting a computer removes its identity and stored data. Back up files you need before deleting it. Read the current privacy policy for the published deletion and retention terms.
