Visit arcbox.dev ↗What is ArcBox?
ArcBox is a fast, open-source container and VM runtime that provides isolated machines for AI agents, containers, and CI jobs. It runs on Linux, Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android, with snapshot-restore in ~22ms and warm creation in ~50ms. The platform offers three deployment modes: persistent Computers for long-running agents, ephemeral Sandboxes for quick tasks, and Runners for CI jobs.
Built from scratch in Rust, ArcBox provides a drop-in Docker engine, native Kubernetes support, and disposable microVMs for untrusted code. The project describes itself as an open-source alternative to Docker Desktop and OrbStack. It's designed for developers building AI agent infrastructure, with local-first development that scales to cloud fleets without code changes.
