container
Persistent Linux workspaces for software development.
container gives each project its own Docker or Podman environment, with coding harnesses and development tools already installed. Workspaces persist across sessions, including packages and configuration. Agents are isolated to that project with no access to the rest of your system.
The same Linux environment runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Your container is local and open source, does not require an account, and is yours to customize.

Quickstart
Requirements
- Windows, macOS, or Linux
- Docker or Podman
Install
macOS and Linux:
curl -fsSL https://container.aerovato.com/install.sh | sh
Windows PowerShell:
irm https://container.aerovato.com/install.ps1 | iex
Alternatively, install through npm:
npm install -g @aerovato/container
Configure
Run the guided onboarding flow:
container init
Choose your coding harnesses, development tools, runtime, and mounts, then accept the initial image build.
Run
Navigate to a project and start its workspace:
cd /path/to/project
container
Your project is mounted at /root/. The container and anything installed inside it persist between sessions.
Start your preferred coding agent and work normally:
opencode
npm install
Multiple terminals can enter the same container.
Customization
container is infinitely customizable. Add packages and setup commands to the user layer:
~/.code-container/Dockerfile.User
Then rebuild it:
container build user
Common settings like tools and harnesses can be configured via container settings. More complex options, including runtime flags, mounts, and even base-image settings can be configured through ~/.code-container/settings.json.
See Configuration for settings details and Permissions for hands-off harness permissions.
Common Commands
container # Open the current project's workspace
container run /path/to/project # Open a specific project
container run /path -- -p 8080:80 # Pass runtime flags
container list # List managed containers
container stop # Stop the current workspace
container remove # Remove the current workspace
container settings # Change common settings
container init # Re-run onboarding
Rebuild the shared image when updating tools or customizations:
container build
container build tools
container build harness
container build user
Agent Skill
Want an agent to configure Container for you? Install the portable Container skill on the host, then ask your agent to set up packages, harnesses, tools, mounts, permissions, or migrations.
npx skills add aerovato/container --skill container
npx skills add aerovato/container --skill container --global # All projects
The skill is host-side because agents inside managed containers cannot access Container's host configuration.
