piston

- stupid question on a slightly unrelated note - can someone with expertise in docker tell me why this guy is using isolate on top of docker to run untrusted user code? https://github.com/engineer-man/piston/blob/master/api/src/j...

nope, this is doing something entirely different https://github.com/engineer-man/piston/blob/master/api/src/j...

- do you mind explaining why you picked this backend? https://github.com/engineer-man/piston - you could simply spawn a docker container for each programming language and run user submitted code inside no?

Hi all! Had never messed around with MCP servers before, so I recently took a stab at building one for Piston, the free remote code execution engine (learn more about Piston at https://github.com/engineer-man/piston). piston-mcp will let you connect Piston to your LLM and have it run code for you. It's pretty lightweight, the README contains instructions on how to use it, let me know what you think!

Hello HN. Currently, I am looking into a project where clients could submit external Python code for execution on my server. I assume this project would eventually attract malicious users trying to inflict as much damage as possible. Therefore, I looked for solutions that allowed me to execute Python code in an isolated and secure environment. Initially, I stumbled upon RestrictedPython: https://restrictedpython.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ However, after reading its documentation: > RestrictedPython is not a sandbox system or a secured environment, but it helps to define a trusted environment and execute untrusted code inside of it. and public reviews (as well as reviews on similar approaches [1]), the approach does not seem to satisfy my requirements. After some additional searching, I found a possible dockerized solution: https://github.c
