They support <a href="https://docs.docker.com/ai/sandboxes/agents/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">these coding agents</a> out of the box.</p> <p>I ran the following commands to set this up on macOS.</p> <div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"><code class="language-bash" data-lang="bash"><span class="line"><span class="cl">brew trust docker/tap </span></span><span class="line"><span class="cl">brew install docker/tap/sbx </span></span><span class="line"><span class="cl">sbx login </span></span></code></pre></div><p>I needed to sign up with Docker, which I believe should be optional given these sandboxes are free to use even for commercial purposes. It&rsquo;s a challenge in an enterprise setting, as we might need to get this approved before using it.</p>
