Why This Matters

Partnering with Docker, NanoClaw now enables users to run agents securely within isolated Docker Sandboxes, providing enhanced security and ease of deployment for various tasks. This innovation leverages hypervisor-level isolation to ensure strict boundaries between different agents and user data, making it highly relevant for organizations seeking secure, scalable automation solutions.

Key Takeaways

We announced today that we’ve partnered with Docker to enable running NanoClaw in Docker Sandboxes with one command. You can read Docker’s blog post here.

Get Started

# macOS (Apple Silicon) curl -fsSL https://nanoclaw.dev/install-docker-sandboxes.sh | bash # Windows (WSL) curl -fsSL https://nanoclaw.dev/install-docker-sandboxes-windows.sh | bash

This handles the clone, setup, and Docker Sandbox configuration. You can also install manually from source.

Note: Docker Sandboxes are currently supported on macOS (Apple Silicon) and Windows (x86), with Linux support rolling out in the coming weeks.

Once it’s running, every agent gets its own isolated container inside a micro VM. No dedicated hardware needed. No complex setup.

How It Works

Docker Sandboxes run agents inside lightweight micro VMs, each with its own kernel, its own Docker daemon, and no access to your host system. This goes beyond container isolation: hypervisor-level boundaries with millisecond startup times.

NanoClaw maps onto this architecture naturally:
