Show HN: I containerized my AI agents and dev tools

github.com

I have been juggling a bunch of different tooling to keep agents locked down on my local system. This weekend I formalized a container build + python tool for my entire dev environment.

The python tool has been kitted so that the container can be easily modified. Figure other people might get some use out of having this readily available.

This is quite useful, thank you!

I think the pre-installed list of bundled AI agents seems a bit excessive considering you'll only be using 1-2 at a time. I'll probably come up with some kind of modular app installation system.

It’s just stuff I play with. My main reason in publishing this is to give people that otherwise lack the knowledge can have somewhere to start.

Keeping local development environments isolated but still easy to manage feels increasingly important as tooling stacks become more complex.

This should be safer than relying on seatbelt on Mac OS. Docker and Podman being in a VM is pretty much peak security imo for AI.

Agreed. Having the isolation boundary at the VM/container layer feels much more predictable for experimentation-heavy workflows compared to relying purely on OS-level restrictions.
