Project overview
sandboxd is a self-hosted engine for building apps with coding agents. A request creates an isolated container, runs an agent against the prompt, and exposes the app at a live preview URL. Teams can use the browser console for creation and file review or integrate the API into their product; idle sandboxes sleep and wake on demand. It primarily targets Linux servers with Docker Compose and Git; macOS via Docker Desktop is best-effort. The project is a 0.x beta using containers rather than VMs, so untrusted multi-tenant deployments need additional hardening.
