No macOS Devcontainer Support for GPU Passthrough in VS Code

Developers using macOS cannot run local AI models with GPU acceleration inside VS Code devcontainers because Docker on Mac lacks GPU passthrough. Windows has CUDA forwarding but no equivalent exists for Apple Silicon, forcing developers to choose between isolation and performance.

No Unified Open Source Tool for Coding Agents with Preview Deployments

Developers using coding agents (e.g., Cursor) alongside separate deployment platforms (e.g., Coolify) must stitch together disconnected tools to manage branch-based workflows and preview deployments. The friction comes from the lack of a native, integrated open source solution that handles both agent-driven code changes and the deployment pipeline in one place. This is a workflow fragmentation issue affecting developers who want tighter feedback loops between AI-assisted coding and live environment previews.

AI dev workflows need full-system sandboxes that standard containers cannot provide

AI coding agents and complex development workflows require sandboxed environments capable of running systemd services, OCI containers, and Kubernetes — capabilities that OCI containers, landlock, and bubblewrap fundamentally cannot provide. The only alternative is spinning up a full VM per worktree, which takes minutes to boot and wastes significant RAM. A fast LXC-based container approach with full init system support fills this gap with sub-10-second startup times.

Open-Source Project Only Provides Linux Builds, No Windows or macOS

An open-source project only provides Linux builds, forcing Windows and macOS users to compile from source. Users want official prebuilt binaries for non-Linux platforms.

AI Coding Agents Lack Sandboxing Without Breaking OAuth and MCP Flows

Developers using AI coding agents like Claude in agentic mode face a security risk: without proper sandboxing, the agent can delete files, access emails, or take unintended actions. Existing isolation solutions like devcontainers break critical developer workflows such as MCP integrations, OAuth flows, and browser automation. This leaves teams choosing between security and functionality, with no well-established middle ground.
