Yes, you can, just need to set a separate config dir. I have the below in my zshrc.

alias claude-personal='CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR=~/.claude-personal claude'

There's something odd about the pricing in the invoice, I assume you are doing per second billing? I ran a test instance for a few mins and this is what I see in the invoice:

CPU Usage - Intel Xeon v3 1.5333 hours $0.044467 Storage Usage - NVMe 3.3333 hours $0.000333 Public IP Address 0.4000 hours $0.002200

The price seems to be ok but the units are way off.

Here are some feedback/questions: 1. I was logged in via ssh and when I tried the web shell it kicked me and the machine went unreachable. 2. How can I restrict who can access my machine? There is no allowed IPs section. 3. Can I upload my ssh-key somewhere and use that as a default whenever I launch an instance? 4. Why do I even have images section when I can't take a snapshot and keep it as a image? This would be very handy so that I don't need to repeat the basic setup of my instances. 5. Can I have a auto shutdown based on time? I don't want to accidentally leave my machine running and rake up a huge cost.

Hope this helps.

This is brilliant, quite cheaper than my AWS. Can I get the credits please? bp2fe1b2a8c422cf09b2a375a

I use AWS EC2 for various side projects and experiments. A while back, I forgot to shut down an instance and didn’t realize until I got a pretty hefty bill at the end of the month.

To avoid this in the future, I built a simple CLI tool called Autostopper. It automatically stops your EC2 instances after a set duration, so you don't have to worry about leaving them running longer than you need. It’s free and open source, and I figured others might find it useful too.

What an amazing tool! Certainly going to integrate into some of my codebases. I am actually fascinated by your charts, would you mind sharing which library did you use? I would love to use that in some of my personal projects.

This looks quite interesting. Any chance you will distribute this via AWS Marketplace or easy to setup deployment script?

This is great. Out of curiosity, why not just wrap this as a standalone addon? Not questioning your decision btw, just thinking that the current approach may increase your hosting cost, no?

Absolutely! I am not a mathematician but enjoyed Maths thoroughly during my school and college. Especially differential calculus and discrete maths during school, and probability & statistics during my college.
