I've built this to make it easy to host your own infra for lightweight VMs at large scale.

Intended for exec of AI-generated code, for CICD runners, or for off-chain AI DApps. Mainly to avoid Docker-in-Docker dangers and mess.

Super easy to use with CLI / Python SDK, friendly to AI engs who usually don't like to mess with VM orchestration and networking too much.

Defense-in-depth philosophy.

Would love to get feedback (and contributors: clear & exciting roadmap!), thx

I would really like to see a good local sandboxing solution in this space, something that is truly local-first. This is especially important since many coding models / agentic builders will eventually become lightweight enough to run them on-device instead of having to buy tokens and share user data with big LLM cloud providers.

https://rstrict.cloud/ is a CLI built in Rust on top of the Landlock API for the Linux kernel.

It lets you narrow the permission scope of an executable using simple command line wrappers.

Thanks, will study that one too!
