Agreed! I think the best user experience is: 1. You can run sandboxes locally 2. You can control them securely over the internet, for when you're on the go 3. You can migrate them …

What's your problem with the OpenCode config? My startup ( https://github.com/gofixpoint/amika ) copies agent configs into local or cloud sandboxes We run OpenCode currently, but n…

If you'd be open to trying something else, my startup is open core: https://github.com/gofixpoint/amika The definition for your cloud sandboxes is just a TOML config in your repo W…

My startup is open core: https://github.com/gofixpoint/amika We run cloud sandboxes, and have some experimental local sandbox support that is fully OSS. Main thing for amika.dev is…

I'm working on https://www.amika.dev/ , which lets you put sandboxed agents on cloud VMs and then message them over the internet. It's for agent + human devboxes, for chatting with…

Comment #49134869
Nope, but I thought about moving hosting (or to Forgejo) because of (a) GitHub's issues, and (b) I like the idea of using an OSS code forge I suppose since Codeberg is a totally fr…

Identity is more than a name. It is also proving that you own that identity (aka authentication)

Comment #49016148
But the identity part of git is not (unless you count pgp signing of each commit, which never took off at a large scale) and the git tools don't automatically propagate repo change…

Comment #49016108
Well, definitely makes me inclined to never use Codeberg for source hosting if they can just get together and decide to ban an entire category of source repo. It makes Codeberg see…

Really freaky seeing how many of these are bedrooms.

Is the talk going to be shared online anywhere? Would be interested in checking it out later!

Comment #48695052
exe.dev is great, but the VMs are not really "apps". They are durable computers / VMs. An example of a "sandboxed agent app", would be: give the app all your past emails. An agent …

Comment #48689361
Def! My personal belief is that the future of an "app" is a combo: 1. micro VM 2. agent on the VM 3. software bundled into the VM So, it should be stupid simple to run these local …

Firecracker has more tooling for the orchestration layer that manages many sandboxes at once. Stuff like K8S integration, an external REST API control plane, more first-class suppo…

Comment #48688989
Why do you want to self-host vs. using one of the many providers out there? Daytona, E2B, OpenComputer, Freestyle, Blaxel, Vercel, Modal, Cloudflare, Tensorlake, Superserve, etc. e…

Comment #48688930
There are sooooo many sandbox providers out there. They do spike on different features like: - snapshotting and forking - good SSH and VPN access for end-users - agent-friendly fea…

Comment #48483275
Yes, running locally certainly helps if you want your sandboxed AI to be able to use the internet without getting blackholed by Cloudflare

Comment #48483265
Yeah, Docker Sandbox is in the right direction. But there's a lot of parts that are still not ironed out yet. How do you package a Docker Sandbox up into an app that can expose UI …

Understand that it is annoying to spin up a heavyweight VM whenever running Claude Desktop, but I actually think per-app + agent virtualization is the future. Next version of an ap…

Comment #48352416
Claude Code's dynamic workflows are AI-generated JavaScript, so unlike `/goal` they can in theory import libraries and perform I/O (not sure that they can currently). On checkpoint…

Comment #48349943
To stop agents from pausing for checkpointing, you can have a deterministic outer loop that re-runs until a stop condition is met. I think teams need to be able to write nested wor…
