> Task declares the container image and command, compute requests and limits, environment variables [...] Declares listeners the task exposes and an egress allowlist of hosts and ports the sandbox may reach. Use it to restrict an agent to, say, your LLM provider and your Git host.
I'm planning to buy a whole linux mini-PC to run my agents/code servers for more isolation. Codex/Claude Code let you run prompts on code over ssh (same with most IDEs) even on the desktop apps.
I wonder if that's going to be the new standard practice. You get a work laptop and an isolated agent box.
Running access control and network whitelists is always a maintenance challenge and it's easy to make mistakes.
You might be right, it likely needs a full proper PC setup with the test suite stuff. I was looking at this vendor, <a href="https://www.gmktec.com/collections/all" rel="nofollow">https://www.gmktec.com/collections/all there's this whole AI mini-pc market but they aren't quite a full dev machine replacement
I’m running ~5 agents at a time very comfortably on a $280 mini PC with 8GB. They’re all in Docker containers, a couple have sidecar VMs they can own and run. Not having any issue with load.

I think you could get by with 1 computer, but it’ll have to have a pretty decent machine.
Between agents running tests, CI, docker image builds, an average $400 mini PC won’t cut it.
Don’t forget also many older mini PCs don’t support KVM. Some newer ones don’t support AVX/ mongodb.
It’s not so easy to buy any old hardware sadly.
