When I tried this a month or so ago Linux support was markedly bad, and a quick look at the GitHub issues confirmed it wasn't just me and wasn't a priority for the company. I wouldn't advertise it either.

The nails in the coffin were 1) login was required 2) login was broken because they "didn't consider" it would be run in a headless environment [0] and 3) they shipped with hardcoded binary paths and root requirements [1].

I moved on and use Incus directly with small helper scripts, smolvm, or a full fat VM running desktop Claude or ChatGPT if I (or someone I mentor) really needs the full app. I'm not yoloing every new claw agent in --dangerously-destroy-my-things mode, so network restrictions are best effort, though filesystem access stays tight.

Either way, docker sandboxes really didn't seem to be it, and the company didn't seem interested in trying to be anything beyond an enterprise solution.
