Paddock

What it does

Paddock gives each AI agent its own Linux computer or a locked-down sandbox, on one VPS you own. Free and open source, MIT licensed.

Linux desktops where AI agents do real work, and locked-down sandboxes for code you don't trust. Self-hosted on one VPS you own. Agents open GUI apps on the box desktop and take screenshots to check what they built. Lock the network to deny-all or an allowlist, set a run limit, and roll back to any snapshot. Install on your VPS. One script sets up the server, HTTPS and Docker. Hand it to your agent. Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Pi and Kimi come preinstalled. Drive every box from your terminal, or automate it from your own code. Create boxes, open their desktops and watch agents work, from your browser. An HTTP API with TypeScript and Python SDKs, webhooks and API keys. An Ubuntu XFCE…from tony1908.github.io

  Talanoa▲346

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
