Claude Code Docker Sandboxes | E9 | Safer AI Coding with Docker
In this video, we’ll look at a safer way to run Claude Code when using dangerous permission mode.
In the previous lecture, we discussed why bypassing permissions can be risky. Claude Code can read, write, and execute commands in your project, so running it without proper control can create problems if the AI makes a wrong change or executes something unexpected.
To reduce that risk, Claude Code can be run inside a Docker sandbox, but this requires Docker to be installed on your system. The sandbox wraps your local project inside an isolated Docker environment, so Claude Code can work on the project without directly accessing your full computer system.
We’ll run:
docker sandbox run claude
This starts Claude Code inside a sandbox environment where it can modify files inside the project, but it cannot freely access or damage the rest of your system. This makes Docker sandboxing a safer option when using bypass permission mode.
However, you should still be careful. Claude Code can still make project-level changes, including changes related to Git, so you must review everything before accepting or committing changes.
