On: Coding Agent VMs on NixOS with Microvm.nix

A pair of containers felt a bit cheaper than a VM:

I was going to add Gemini / OpenCode Kilo next.

There is some upfront cost to define what endpoints to map inside, but it definitely adds a veneer of preventing the crazy…

One problem with using containers as an isolation environment for a coding assistant is that it becomes challenging to have the agent work on a containerized project. You often need some janky "docker-in-docker" nonsense that hampers efforts.

I like using LXC containers, eg full persistent OS and you can do docker if you want etc. I started this and it works well for me to put on a server or VPS:

I was planning to have worktrees bind mounted systematically, but agree it’s not super clean atm at scale (yet)

This is a great idea of using a BERT model for DLP at the door. Have you thought integrating this into semantic router as an option leaving the look-ahead ? Maybe a smaller code base ?
