Axern

What it actually is: Open-source sandboxes for AI agents, untrusted code execution, and durable services. If that is what you came for, use it directly from the repository — it is just not something dsh plugin add can activate.

Axern is an open-source sandbox platform for AI agents. It isolates untrusted agent-generated code with runsc and runs trusted long-lived services with runc through one resource and lifecycle model. The CLI and the Go, Python, and TypeScript SDKs expose the same public APIs for environments, processes, files, services, storage, tunnels, lifecycle state, and task evidence. > **Project status:** Axern is pre-1.0 and under active development. > It is suitable for evaluation and contribution, but operators should review the security and production boundaries before deploying multi-tenant workloads. The supported local path runs the complete stack with Docker Compose. It needs only the `axern` CLI and Docker Compose v2 — no source checkout, Make, Helm, or language toolchains.
