Show HN: Run LLMs in Docker for any language without prebuilding containers I&#x27;ve been looking for a way to run LLMs safely without needing to approve every command. There are plenty of projects out there that run the agent in docker, but they don&#x27;t always contain the dependencies that I need.<p>Then it struck me. I already define project dependencies with mise. What if we could build a container on the fly for any project by reading the mise config?<p>I&#x27;ve been using agent-en-place for a couple of weeks now, and it&#x27;s working great! I&#x27;d love to hear what y&#x27;all think
