- Docker Sandboxes introduces a new shell sandbox type for running personal AI assistants like NanoClaw securely.
- The shell sandbox provides an isolated Ubuntu environment with Node.js, Python, git, and common dev tools.
- Running NanoClaw in a Docker sandbox adds layers of security: filesystem isolation, credential management, clean environment, and disposability.
- Prerequisites include Docker Desktop, Docker Sandboxes CLI, and an Anthropic API key.
- Steps to set up include creating a sandbox, connecting to it, installing Claude Code, configuring the API key, and setting up NanoClaw.
- The shell sandbox can also run other AI-powered bots, automation scripts, and experimental tools securely.
- Management commands include listing, stopping, starting, and removing sandboxes.
