Not the parent but I've totally been doing this, too. I've been using docker compose and Claude seems to understand that fine in terms of scoping everything - it'll run "docker compose logs foo" "docker compose restart bar" etc. I've never tried to isolate it, though I tend to rarely yolo and keep an eye on what it's doing and approve (I also look at the code diffs as it goes). It's allowed to read-only access stuff without asking but everything else I look at.
I YOLO and there isn't much guidance needed, it knows how docker and compose etc. works, how to get logs, exec in etc.
"bring this online in my local docker" will get you a running service, specify further as much as you like.
This is very interesting. What's your setup, and what kind of prompt might you use to get Claude to work well with Docker? Do you do anything to try and isolate the Claude instance from the rest of your machine (i.e. run these Docker instances inside of a VM) or just YOLO?
