Re:Devvm.dev: One VM for every project

(#50399997)
I made something like this at work as a way to spin up multiple dev stacks on the same project. It’s docker based though so not the best isolation.
The problem i having is more workflow related. AI is doing the dev so fast I constantly need to validate different versions and change sets of an app. Git worktrees work for isolating the agents changes but doesn’t solve running multiple instances of a dev server and remembering which one applies to which agent session.
The solution I came up with was throw the code and all tools in a container git branch. Then run a reverse proxy to get <mybranch>.localhost style urls working.
Would be interested to give this a shot if it can also solve for some of those workflow issues.
