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.

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
