Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Show HN: Kubernetes for AI Agents
Yeah, I feel like k8s is adds unneeded complexity. I started this project to isolate via LXC/Incus containers on a VPS/server. Works nicely for my needs.

Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (February 2026)
vibebin is a self-hosted platform for running persistent, isolated AI coding sandboxes on a single VPS using Incus/LXC containers:
https://github.com/jgbrwn/vibebin
It automates installing and managing Incus, Caddy, and SSHPiper, provides a TUI for container lifecycle and quick actions, a web admin (built/compiled on the container) for toggling and updating AI coding tools (Shelley, Claude Code, OpenCode, etc.), and a background sync daemon that keeps Caddy routes and container metadata in sync.
Each container exposes coding tool web UIs on isolated ports and supports direct SSH/VS Code Remote access, so you can run multiple independent coding agents against real project files without exposing your local machine.
The project emphasizes simplicity and recoverability for running agents locally: containers are persistent, optionally routed via reverse proxy with basic auth, and tracked in an SQLite DB so setups auto-heal after restarts. It’s written in Go, includes an install script for one-line deployment, targets modest VPS specs (4–8GB RAM recommended), and bundles helpers for DNS and provider automation.
Ideal if you want a lightweight, opinionated way to host multiple isolated AI dev environments on your own server instead of relying on hosted agent platforms.

Matchlock: Linux-based sandboxing for AI agents
This is great. Wish this was around when I started working on vibebin ( https://github.com/jgbrwn/vibebin ), probably would have leveraged matchlock instead of Incus/LXC. I guess I could fork/branch and give it a go!

Vibebin: Code and host inside Incus containers on your own VPS/server
I used Opus 4.5 for 99.9% of this project. Take that as you will.
https://github.com/jgbrwn/vibebin
vibebin is an Incus/LXC-based platform for self-hosting persistent AI coding agent sandboxes with Caddy reverse proxy and direct SSH routing to containers (suitable for VS Code remote ssh). Create and host your vibe-coded apps on a single VPS/server.
If anyone wants to test or provide some feedback that would be great. Core functionality works but there's likely to be bugs.
My intent for the project was for the tinkerer/hobbyist or even not super technical person to put this on a VPS and start just doing their own thing/experimenting/tinkering/learning etc.
I had so much fun working on this project, completely reinvigorated by it tbh.
I am just a Linux sysadmin and not a programmer at all (~just~ smart enough to figure stuff out though:) ) and I have to say the excitement and energy that was brought into me working on this project was nothing like I've ever experienced before. It makes me so optimistic about this future that we are either embracing or fending off (depending on your mindset).

Show HN: YOLO-cage – AI coding agents that can't exfiltrate secrets
Not exactly sandboxing as much as just working within LXC containers, I've been building this:
