How does docker sandbox solve the docker-in-docker issue? Can Claude running in docker sandbox spin up other docker containers, without having privileged access?

Show HN: Ghostpipe – Connect files in your codebase to user interfaces

adriaanmulder — Tue, 16 Sep 2025 21:41:32 +0000

Hey HN!

I built Ghostpipe because:

1. I like to keep data about my software in the codebase and under version control.

2. I don’t like always working in raw text files with domain specific languages (eg Terraform, Openapi, er diagrams).

Ghostpipe is an open source tool that creates a bridge between files in your codebase and applications using webrtc. This lets developers work with user interfaces where appropriate, while still having access to the underlying raw text files.

A few side-benefits to this setup are:

1. AI agents are good at working with local text files, so we can keep using those.

2. Generally speaking, no signup or installation is needed to use Ghostpipe apps, because all relevant data is in the codebase.

I built a few demo apps with Ghostpipe support (Excalidraw & Swagger UI), and I hope this proof of concept spurs some interest in taking this idea further.

Thanks!

Is this really so hard to read?

  updateWhere(
    thing => thing?.guid === postId,
    post => ({...post, title: newTitle}),
    networkCache
  )

The alternatives as far as I can tell are:

- normalize network responses, so you can get the post directly by id. But this is notoriously painful to do well

- or the code that handles this name change needs to know every request that references the post with that id, and update those titles manually

That's a great point

I disagree. For example, It's useful if you have a bunch of cached network requests that each list some resources and you want to update all of the instances of a specific resource (matching by uuid).

This is a simple function that I find quite useful. Crawl through an object to update some specific nested value. Useful for things like optimistic updates in a cache (eg. Find every instance of an object with some guid in any random data structure and update a field in it).

Is this function known by any other name?

Thanks for the quick response. I think this should really be explicitly stated in the docs, along with a link to VGS. The diagram didn't make it obvious to me that the "security provider" block is actually storing the secrets, rather than just converting them into tokens.

Hey Tom! I see in the security section it says "We secure your data at rest through a mechanism called tokenization, which ensures our systems only store references to your secrets. In the event of a data breach, attackers would only gain access to the references." If this is the case, then where are the secrets stored? How can you view the secrets from the web console if they aren't stored anywhere? Thanks!

adriaanmulder — Tue, 07 Jan 2020 00:21:29 +0000

That's great to hear! Can't say it was intentional, I haven't honestly even gotten to my routine accessibility-pass I do on most apps.

Me too, I will probably add this in the future. In the meantime, you can kind of get around this by creating subtasks of the task that is blocked by more than one thing, and each subtask can be blocked by a different task. The benefit of this is that you end up being more explicit about what is causing a task to be blocked.

Drag and drop exists in the current version, just click and drag the bullet point of the task you want to move. Also should work on mobile. Link recognition exists for task descriptions and comments (select a task and click "Details & comments"). There is no link recognition for titles because clicking a title already has an action associated with it, this would lead to a UI problem if a task title is just a link with no other text. Thanks for the feedback!

Only by pinning into the parent task (tapping the bullet point). Making this easier is on my todo list

you don’t really need to remember your username. Log in with email password and you can see your username from the profile screen. I added usernames as the method for team organizers to invite you to their team. Had I gone with email I’d be collecting the email addresses of people who didn’t sign up for DiscoTask, which I don’t really want to do.

Full name is just for a better autocomplete experience when writing comments and assigning tasks. Also interesting that some people have one word names, I’ll keep that in mind!
