Sandbox Demo

A utility from Micrantha for creating reusable isolated development environments.

This is basically an easy to use abstraction around docker with some extra perks.

  • file synchronization that follows symlinks
  • keep package manager and system dependencies isolated from host
  • reusable state that can also be persisted as a ‘sandcastle’ for other sandboxes
  • consistent user file permissions with the host
  • better time tracking with taskwarrior timewarrior scripts
  • write it how I would want it (did not like other tools)



If you have mastered mouseless programming for whatever reason you will like this tool.

If not, it is a good reason to try coding in neovim. The language server protocol from Microsoft makes it like a full lightweight IDE these days.

I have decided to release to source as a profile building opportunity if you would like to check it out or contribute (I reserve the right to change my mind).
