Is there a premade VM image or docker container I can just start with for example Google Antigravity, Claude or Kilocode/vscode? Right now I have to install some linux desktop and all the tools needed, a bit of a pain IMO.

I see there are cloud VMs like at kilocode but they are kind if useless IMO. I can only interact with the prompt and not the code base directly. Too many things go wrong and maybe I also want kilo code to run a docker stack for me which it can't in the agent cloud.

Locally, I'd use Vagrant with a provisioning script that installs whatever you need on top of one of the prebuilt Vagrant boxes. You can then snapshot that if you want and turn that into a base image for subsequent containers.

I use https://jules.google.

The UI is obviously vibe-coded garbage but the underlying system works. And most of the time you don't have to open the UI after you've set it running you just comment on the Github PR.

This is clearly an unloved "lab" project that Google will most likely kill but to me the underlying product model is obviously the right one.

I assume Microsoft got this model right first with the "assign issue to Copilot" thing and then fumbled it by being Microsoft. So whoever eventually turns this <correct product model> into an <actual product that doesn't suck> should win big IMO.

Yes! I'm surprised more people do not want this capability. Check out my comment above, I think Vagrant might also be what you want.

fly.io launched something like that recently:
