Project mention: Why Your SFTP Transfer Is Stuck at 2 MB/s (and the Fix Is a Protocol from 1983) | dev.to | 2026-03-29
cubic is a CLI tool for creating and managing lightweight virtual machines on Linux and macOS. Think of it as the middle ground between running Docker containers and spinning up full VMs in libvirt. You run cubic create myvm --image debian and get a cloud-init provisioned VM with SSH access, a dedicated disk, and port forwarding. cubic ssh myvm drops you into a shell. cubic scp file.tar.gz myvm:~/ copies files in. It's about 7,000 lines of Rust, built on QEMU/KVM with cloud-init for provisioning.
