Docker container initialized with various agentic coding tools, bootstrapped so coding starts right away. Ephemeral by default, so when it is downed, state is wiped.

Why?

Starting to code with agents at scale, including on the go. Codex and Claude already have on-the-go patterns (like Codex web/iOS app), but they still feel broken in practice and not flexible enough. A clean box I can spin up fast and throw away when done makes it easy to launch many environments on the fly while removing setup friction.

Key features

• Agentic coding tools preinstalled out of the box
• Tailnet-only access
• Full flexibility for network access to the devcontainer when needed (ie. deploying previews)
• Integration with deploy pipelines (ie. Komodo, coolify, or just vercel)
• mosh support for better on-the-go sessions (handles drops and network switching better than plain SSH)
• Ephemeral by default: downing the container wipes both workspace state and Tailscale registration

Ramblings

Here’s a short note on setup:

• Hugo vs Quartz
  • Quartz is impressive with Obsidian integration and knowledge graphs, but felt intimidating. Decided to keep it simple for now with Hugo.
  • I can always port over later
• Using the very popular PaperMod theme. Another candidate was Terminal.
• Deployment: I wanted to use GitHub pages, but that requires publishing from a public repo. Since I may have draft posts that I’d like to keep private, that was a non-starter. Using Cloudflare Pages instead.

TODOs:

• Fill out profile/home page
• Start adding posts!

Other notes:

• Mostly resisting the urge to generate posts with LLMs. I want to keep this organic and ramble-y. Shorter posts like this one will just be a brain dump, while longer posts will be written with reference to some LLM generated notes.
