Forkspacer

Welcome to Forkspacer

Forkspacer is an open-source platform that lets you create, fork, and hibernate entire Kubernetes or VM-based environments. Developers can clone full setups, test changes in isolation, and automatically hibernate idle workspaces to save resources—all declaratively, with GitOps-style reproducibility. Perfect for teams where each developer needs a personal, forked environment from a shared baseline.

Create a workspace

Create workspaces to connect local or remote Kubernetes clusters and install modules to them. You can hibernate workspaces to sleep or resume the modules installed in them.
