Sheikh Desktop Sandbox

This repository contains an MVP for the Sheikh Desktop Sandbox: ephemeral desktop sandboxes (Xfce + noVNC) managed by a Node manager and runnable locally using Docker.

Quickstart

1. Build the desktop image:

docker build -t sheikh/desktop:local -f infra/Dockerfile.desktop .

2. Start the manager:

cd manager
npm install
node server.js

3. Open http://localhost:4000 and create a session.

Next steps

• Replace Docker runtime with Firecracker or gVisor for production isolation
• Add agent unix-socket JSON-RPC and manager -> agent secure channel
• Implement screenshot endpoint and automation actions
• Add auth, audit logs, and RAG memory integration
