it's really nice

just needs two commands:

sudo importctl --class=machine pull-oci docker.io/library/alpine:latest alpine

sudo systemd-nspawn -M alpine /usr/bin/env sh -l

thank you @pid_eins, I've spent several days/weeks in the past implementing this myself with hoops calling system-nspawn with my own docker layer overlayfs/bindmounts. Really hyped replacing this with that work.

You're not dependend on another company but a well established project with long term maintenance track record.

There are so many options that I don't know what to choose for sandboxing AI agent frameworks, like Pi

It even has ansible support.
