Devvm.dev: One VM for every project direct repository linkDebated

The discussion centers on Devvm.dev as part of a crowded field of project isolation tools, with users comparing it to established alternatives like smolvm and Docker Sandbox while debating the necessity of microVMs over container-based solutions. Strong disagreement exists regarding security trade-offs, with some arguing that VMs offer superior kernel isolation against malicious agents while others highlight the complexity and resource overhead compared to simpler namespace or container approaches.

I tried it and it worked great at first but I had multiple issues with it, the disk space usage was growing significantly, I need to login multiple times for each sandbox, it's closed source and not possible to customize to my need. One other thing, I want to be able to handle multiple repos in the same sandbox and have a standard workflow around worktrees (one worktree per repo, all the worktree mounted in the VM). These were some of the reasons that led me to build: Clawk - https://github.com/clawkwork/clawk
In Docker Sandboxes – Disposable, isolated sandboxes for AI agents
