    I would use their LXC install, it’s much more flexible. It does not need to be local but it does simplify things like email. I had to put a bit of effort into getting it to be able to connect to IMAP mailboxes to process, but it wasn’t any more than just asking it to get the necessary libraries etc. But things like that are why using it as an LXC is a better choice. It might be able to do that as a docker, but there’s potential problems with network connectivity and docker in docker issues.

    You can also firewall that LXC off without having to mess up your own workstation, as well as snapshot it and back it up.

    And the first thing I would do is have it keep token budgets when you build tasks, and report it’s token use to you every hour or two. It takes some time to learn how to structure reminders and task processing to not create loops that eat up scads of tokens. Don’t ask me how I know.

    But holy hell, can it be useful.
