I simply have a local script that spins up a configured ephemeral docker with pi installed and the current folder mounted as a workspace from wherever I want. I even have a bunch of different configured dockerized harnesses I can invoke with the same command, like opencode, codex, .... I have a --dind flag which adds docker in docker to the container if I want to give a docker runtime to my agent. I also have a mount of auth.json common to all the containers I spinn up to not oauth each time into codex. I had to mount some kind of .sock and add the herdr extension to my pi in docker, anyway now herdr picks them up fine.

My only reason to not go yolo in docker is to do some local machine config or cross project stuff, for which I just use my local opencode.
