Top AI Repos — open-source AI, indexed and scored
Top AI Repos tracks AI repositories on GitHub and answers two different questions about each one: is it moving right now, and would you bet a product on it.

Create dev containers that mirror your prod environment and sandbox your Claude/Codex CLIs. Develop with VS Code/Jet Brains, via SSH with e.g. Vim or VS Code in your browser. Unlimited staging for co-workers and clients. Dockside is an open source 'Codespaces' that runs on local machine, on prem, or in cloud

# Introduction
Dockside is a self-hosted platform for teams who want a devcontainer for every branch — isolated, browser-accessible, HTTPS-secured, and ready in seconds, on your own infrastructure.
Each devcontainer (or _devtainer_, as we call them) is automatically provisioned with a browser IDE, SSH access, and a dedicated HTTPS reverse proxy with per-service subdomains. No per-project configuration required. Spin one up per branch, per task, per developer — or per AI agent session.
> **Note on terminology:** Dockside's _devtainers_ are development containers in the general sense. They predate and differ from the [VS Code devcontainer spec](https://containers.dev/) (`.devcontainer/devcontainer.json`), though they serve the same core purpose: a reproducible, isolated environment for each piece of work.
**Running AI coding tools?** Dockside devcontainers are natural sandboxes for [Claude Code](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code), [OpenAI Codex](https://openai.com/codex), GitHub Copilot and similar. The Claude and Codex CLIs — and their VS Code extensions — run natively inside Dockside's integrated IDEs. Each AI session is isolated in its own container. And coming soon: built-in network firewall management to define exactly what AI agents can reach, reproducing purpose-built AI devcontainer security without elevated capabilities or weakened isolation.

## AI-assisted development
AI coding tools work best when they have their own isolated environment to operate in — somewhere they can install dependencies, run tests, edit files, and make mistakes, without affecting anything else. Dockside devcontainers are a natural fit.
- **Claude Code and OpenAI Codex CLIs** run natively inside Dockside's integrated IDEs (OpenVSCode Server and Theia), as do their VS Code extensions. Point an AI agent at a fresh devcontainer, let it work, then review the result — all contained.
- **Per-session isolation**: each AI coding session gets its own devcontainer. Unintended side-effects — runaway processes, unexpected file changes, dependency conflicts — stay within that container's blast radius and don't touch your host or other devcontainers.
- **Network firewall management** _(coming soon)_: configurable outbound firewall rules per Docker custom network, letting you define exactly what AI agents can and cannot reach. Assign a devcontainer to a restricted network and Dockside enforces the rules — without requiring elevated container capabilities or weakening isolation.
