Self-hosted dev sandboxes with preview URLs (Docker, Go, no K8s) (github.com)

Thanks for posting your project & congrats on shipping.

I have to confess, I’m struggling to see how this beats having my agent write 100 lines of shell script in a couple of seconds to do just the subset of this I need..

Would be neat to be able to read about that on its landing page!

This feels like the notorious Dropbox objections when it launched. Just because it's easy to you doesn't mean it's easy for everyone. I can see this being really useful for my product which is cursor on my phone/computer/and browser. I built an IDE with a Linux container so I could have a real dev environment and file system on my iPhone. It let's me code at the beach with my kids (plan and epic have the AI do a massive pull request while I am having fun for 30 mins with the family. Spend 5 minutes giving the code a look which often finds some large concerns that warrant a new prompt etc). The containers were actually a huge pain to set up and I am still not satisfied with my implementation.

I'll definitely check this out. This project is actually perfect for several projects i am working on.

I think the idea here is to provide this as a way to host/manage multiple different test apps, or apps for a team, or maybe you're just building one of those 'our AI will build you a web app' services. Definitely overkill for one-off projects.

As much as the 'no kubernetes needed' thing is nice, it would be nice if it had a 'yes kubernetes' option for those of us who have a k8s cluster available and want to yeet things into it or do more meaningful network restrictions/sandboxing/etc.

I started using the Sandbox CRD: https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/agent-sandbox

And if I really need to kick off a box very quickly, OpenRouter Spawn seems like it'll do 95% of what I need it to do: https://github.com/OpenRouterLabs/spawn

Still missing better restrictions though.

That's funny, their README explicitly mentions this as a comment.

> "Why not just a shell script?"

Haha that's what I do personally.

Vibe coded in 30mins a textualize tui that shows lxd containers.

I just hit "p" on a container to forward that container to host.

I only use ports for one instance at a time so it works perfect.

Hitting enter auto joins the lxc container instance with tmux.

Works perfect for me for tasks that can stay long running

interesting project does this have some form of isolation?
