# finbarr/yolobox: Let your AI go full send. Your home directory stays home.

**[Hacker News](https://daily.dev/sources/hn)** · 7 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Yolobox is a sandboxing tool that runs AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini) inside isolated containers with full permissions, protecting your home directory from accidental damage. It mounts your project directory at /workspace, provides pre-configured AI CLIs in "yolo mode" (no permission prompts), and includes common development tools. The container uses Docker/Podman isolation as its security boundary, offering protection against accidental file deletion and credential theft, though not against deliberate container escapes. Supports both Docker and rootless Podman, with configurable network isolation and read-only project mounting for enhanced security.
