I know it's one me for thinking this -- since the domain is fly.io -- but I was really hoping this is some local solution.
Not self-hosted, but just local. A thin command line wrapper to something (docker? bubblewrap?) that gave me sort of a containerized "VM" experience for my local machine using CoW.

Check out LXC and the wider Incus set of projects: https://linuxcontainers.org/incus/.
Running IncusOS on some local hardware with ZFS underneath is a phenomenally powerful sandbox.
Yeah I can make an lxc container called "ai" that has an ssh read key and then a few pre cloned projects. When I want to work I can clone and start it then get the same effect on my own hardware and for free. Just need a small little wrapper to make this a bit more streamlined
If you are on mac, you can use Coderunner[1]. It will run locally on your and execute any AI generated code in an apple container.
