Do people really run claude and other clis like this outside a container??

I'm sure most folks run Claude without isolation or sandboxing. It's a terrible idea, but even most professional software developers don't think much about security.

There many decent options (cloud VMs, local VMs, Docker, the built-in sandboxing). My point is just that folks should research and set up at least one of them before running an agent.

Let's not fool ourselves here. If a security feature adds any amount of friction at all, and there's a simple way to disable it, users will choose to do so.

How did you contain Claude Code? Did you virtualize it? I just set up a simple firejail script for it. Not completely sure if it's enough but it's at least something.
