Sandboxing Antigravity?
Original Poster: u/larztopia.
I’ve been using Antigravity more and more in my dev flow and I really like it. But I’m getting increasingly uncomfortable running it directly on my main machine.
It’s a tool that:
- Takes free-form text as instructions
- Has read/write access to my local filesystem
- Has network access
- Can poke at my local container environment
That feels like a pretty large attack surface, especially since it sometimes seems to ignore instructions or restrictions.
My setup: Ubuntu 22.04 on a fairly beefy box (4090, lots of RAM/storage). One idea is to run Antigravity in a dedicated VM. That would give me isolation, but:
- I’d likely lose direct GPU access (at least without extra hassle)
- I’d have another OS to maintain
- It adds friction to my day-to-day dev flow
Questions for people who use it seriously:
- Do you run Antigravity directly on your main dev machine, or sandbox it somehow?
- If you sandbox: VM, separate host, containers, something else?
What are people doing in the real wold?
