What it does

Self-hosted disposable sandboxes for AI agents. Hardened Docker containers (cap-drop, read-only rootfs, network=none, egress allowlist) wrapped in a control plane with HTTP API, MCP server, CLI, and Go SDK. Runs on a $5 VPS. MIT licensed.

Self-hosted sandboxes for AI agents. Spin up disposable Linux environments where an LLM can write files, run shell commands, and reach a curated set of hosts — all bounded by a YAML policy you wrote, on a $5 VPS you control. LLM agents need somewhere to actually run code. The hosted options work well but cost real money per tenant; running them yourself usually means microVMs that demand KVM/virtualization a small VPS doesn't have. This project takes the pragmatic path: hardened Docker containers (cap-drop, read-only rootfs, no-new-privs, pids/cpu/memory limits, network=none by default) wrapped in a control plane with the surfaces an agent actually needs — HTTP API, MCP, CLI, Go SDK.…from github.com

  • Sandbox Agent SDK – unified API for automating coding agentsJan 2026 · github.com · ▲41

    We’ve been working with automating coding agents in sandboxes as of late. It’s bewildering how poorly standardized and difficult to use each agent varies between each other. We open-sourced the Sandbox Agent SDK based on tools we built internally to solve 3 problems: 1. Universal agent API: interact with any coding agent using the same API 2. Running agents inside the sandbox: Agent Sandbox provides a Rust binary that serves the universal agent API over HTTP, instead of having to futz with undocumented interfaces 3. Universal session schema: persisting sessions is always problematic, since…

  • With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
