Yup, this is usually the case in pig butchering operations iirc.

I’m building a video game for our abernic device with my son (no game engine experience, just vibing the game engine ourselves). We’re having a blast. We play up to our progress ri…

This is very cool. Would love to chat with you. I’m working on https://coasts.dev . I’ve been thinking a lot about the light vm side lately but it’s not an area we are going to att…

I'm not sure. The docs on claude -p are sort of ambiguous on third party usage

I’m sorry I didn’t reply sooner. I’d love to hear about the diff/commit/rollback stuff you’re working on. Feel free to message me on discord or however you like (I’m pretty easy to…

I have waited 12 hours for someone to ask this! You are my hero. So the name "hot" is a bit misleading. The containers don't actually stay alive through the switch. What happens is…

Actually pretty reliably but you do need to explicitly call out the skill. I usually start agent threads with /coasts or in codex $coasts. Once it’s in the conversation they stick …

I think this was a common perspective from early docker days with regard to local bind mounts (before docker switched from virtual box with hyperkit on macos). I do use Orb Stack a…

Interesting, I was not aware. Well fortunately it's the name of a local observability ui and not the actual product. We'll change it if it becomes a problem.

There a couple of ways you can go about MCP within coasts (also depends on what the MCP does). You can either install the MCP service host-side (something like playwright), in whic…

I could definitely see that being useful for folks who are Docker-fearful or just less infra literate in general. I think we're focused on the other end of the spectrum. Folks who …

We started with an approach like that but I think our grounding principal has been that you shouldn't have to modify your docker-compose to get parallelized local development. I th…

So technically you could use Coasts to sandbox but our default approach is actually not sandboxed at all. The agents still run host-side so unless you're sandboxing the agent host-…

It does not. It works through Docker Desktop, Orb Stack, or Colima on macOS.

>One thing I'm curious about: how do you handle state drift when agents are working on the same service across different worktrees? For example, if two agents are both making schem…

Why do you say that? It works fine on mac (that's what we developed it on) and it's not nearly as much overhead as I was initially expecting. There's probably some added latency fr…

Hey thanks! To be clear it does use docker. It's a docker-in-docker solution. I think there's a quite a few things: 1) You need a control plane to manage the host-side ports. Docke…

Thanks! Yeah, I think there's a ton of great remote solutions right now. I think worktrees make the local stuff tricky but hopefully Coasts can help you out. Let me know how it goe…

HN questions we know are coming our way: 1) Could you run an agent in the coast? You could... sort of. We started out with this in mind. We wanted to get Claude Max plans to work s…

Hi HN - We've been working on Coasts (“containerized hosts”) to make it so you can run multiple localhost instances, and multiple docker-compose runtimes, across git worktrees on t…

>Yeah, you do need to be ok with not being able to later chargeback your grocery store, just like with cash. Well the reason that works is because in grocery stores you have a conc…

The settlement happening whenever is a problem. Instant authorization is very different from a practical settlement model. At least with card networks, there are layers of liabilit…
