Let the agent test against the real database

Every box has Docker Engine with compose and sudo. Run Postgres, Redis and the rest of your stack beside Claude Code or Codex and watch it test against the real thing. From $5 a month.

An agent without your services is guessing

Without the database it writes code against mocks and hopes. Integration tests get skipped, migrations go untested, and the bug surfaces in staging.

Sandboxes without Docker leave the agent writing against mocks.

One feature against the full stack

  1. 14:00

    compose up

    Your docker-compose.yml starts the way it does on your laptop. Images and volumes stay on the box's disk.

  2. 14:02

    Hand the agent the feature

    It reads the container logs, runs the migrations and hits the real services.

  3. 14:40

    Integration tests go green

    Forty-six tests against Postgres, Redis and Meilisearch, with no stubs in sight.

  4. 14:41

    Click through it

    The app answers at its preview URL over HTTPS, and the containers keep running for tomorrow.

What Docker on the box gets you

  • Full Docker, ready at login

    Docker Engine and the compose plugin, your user in the docker group, sudo for everything else.

  • Services that outlive the session

    Containers keep running after the tab closes. Tomorrow's run starts with a warm database.

  • Room for images

    50, 100 or 200 GB of disk for images, volumes and seed data.

  • Reach them from your laptop

    Forward a port over SSH to open the box's Postgres in your own client, or open web services at their preview URL.

Questions about this

Is it real Docker?

Docker Engine runs inside your box, an unprivileged system container with nesting on. docker, docker compose and your images work the way they do on any Linux machine.

Can containers reach the internet?

Yes, through the box's connection: 50, 100 or 200 Mbit by plan. Private networks and outbound mail on port 25 are blocked for every box.

Do images count against my disk?

Yes. Images, volumes and build cache live on the box's disk. docker system prune gives the space back.
