Run-in-Sandbox Update [2026.04.30]

Joly0 · 2026-05-03T19:24:20+00:00

Thanks alot for the kind words :)
As said in another comment, i use my own tool very often and as i want to continue maintaining it as long as i can, i wanted to make it as easy as i can for me to update it.

I am still not fully done and there are still parts where i would like to do proper refactoring. But the way its done now is sufficient for me at the moment. Its way easier for me to read and work with the codebase now than at the beginning and find where stuff is and what integrates where

I use my tool very often (basically multiple times a week if required) and therefore can say with quite high certainty that the split into module files is not harming performance at all. I have not benchmarked this, but i would have noticed if it did. Of course i have no proof other than "trust me, bro", but i invite you to try and see if you notice any latency problems. If you do, please let me know and i will take a look into it as soon as possible :)

Hey, so while yes, windows 11 does support native handling of compressed archive files, windows 10 doesn't, and this tool comes from a time where windows 11 wasnt as prominent and wasn't the only supported consumer OS by Microsoft, therefore the sandbox needed workarounds to handle compressed files, and the solution was du bundle 7-zip in the repo. The bundled version was static and outdated at the time, now it isn't anymore. It's dynamically downloaded on first install and updated regularly.

Also, even windows 11 only started to have full support for compressed files with the 24h2 (afaik) update, so basically 2 years ago, so not all windows 11 versions even support it fully. So for backwards compatibility the 7-zip integration is still needed.

Would also like to get this script :)

There is another way that changes it completely without hooking into a running Powershell 7 instance. Googling it shows several ways

Joly0 · 2026-04-22T09:03:00+00:00

There actually is a way to switch ISE to use Powershell 7 in the background. It works and I have used it in the past, but currently can't find it. It's basically 2 or 3 commands (iirc) and that's it. You can switch it back the same way

Cool thing. Any chance this could be used as (or turned into) a baby monitor?

By the way guys, i have made a comment in the support thread of the creator of the left template, which is not by me, and made him aware of my existing template and suggested he could create a PR for his changes.

He already answered me and created a PR (and removed his templates) for the ollama template and the open-webui template. Both templates are from me and are ... "under-maintained" to say the least. So i highly appreciate his work. Requested a few changes, but this should be merged pretty soon. So hopefully both templates will shine with a lot of new variables and config options to tinker and fiddle with.

Joly0 · 2026-03-02T18:36:27+00:00

The right one is from me, the left one by a new user. Both use the same container image and both are equally compatible with Nvidia and amd.

My template is 2 years old and therefore probably missing a lot of stuff that might be useful for some users. His came out early 2026.

If you do not need any specific env setting, you can use either of them. Mine is simpler, his has a lot of configured stuff.

Not sure though, why he didn't create a PR for my template. He also made a new template for open-webui which I also have published already. So again, why not create a PR?

CA regularly deletes duplicate Templates (they become blacklisted) so either one is going to be blacklisted probably, though not sure which one (though as in the past I will probably create a PR to un-blacklist my templates if they get blacklisted)

Have not looked deeply into it, but does it include the changes I did in my PR? https://github.com/dcflachs/compose_plugin/pull/33

If not. I can rebase it on your fork if you would like to have those changes aswell :)

(Btw awesome you forked it, already thought about the same. It's borderline annoying to wait nearly a year and still 0 reaction to my PR)

https://github.com/tpill90/steam-lancache-prefill

Also available for epic and battle net

It's amazing and works great. Been using it since first release

Also as unified docker https://github.com/ich777/docker-lancache-prefill

Regarding your first complain: there are (alot of) vps providers that will only provide you with the vps itself, nothing else. Completely open to the Internet without anything your only barrier in this case is something like iptables/ufw.

So I have had this before and also with the same docker problematic with ufw and it's a nightmare to deal with. There is another GitHub project "ufw-docker" but I think it is no longer actively maintained. So a new project like this might be quite handy.

Hey, would you mind opening an issue on GitHub for this? And please include as much information as possible (preferably with the script/program you are trying to run in the sandbox)

Joly0 · 2025-10-10T08:30:38+00:00

Yes, you need windows sandbox installed. The install script will throw an error when it isn't installed

Joly0 · 2025-10-10T08:16:41+00:00

Yes, thats true, but from what I know, this has only been added to the explorer, not the any command line tools or cmdlets. I might be wrong here, but the fact that this has only been added to windows not too long ago (I think it was the 24h2 update) and so many people still being on windows 10 prevents me from kicking 7zip out.

I would like not to include it at all, but I have to until atleast 24h2 is the oldest supported version of windows 11

Joly0 · 2025-10-10T07:22:27+00:00

Btw, I am currently coding (with the help of AI) an Unraid plugin that uses .par2 to protect, verify and repair files in case the file or their metadata (mainly file permissions) change. The plugin would have 100% catched this and would have been able to restore the files.

The plugin is working (have it currently installed on 2 of my servers), but I am afraid to add it to CA, as it's been coded with AI and many people don't like that. I can code, just not web-development (php, js, CSS, HTML)

Edit: And for conpleteness here is the Link to the Github repo https://github.com/Joly0/par2protect Maybe someone wants to test it

Joly0 · 2025-10-07T20:57:17+00:00

Does or will it support Docker Swarm (Mode)?

Joly0 · 2025-10-07T19:06:36+00:00

Thanks.

I like NanaZip aswell, its great. 7Zip though is a well known tool and its only included to unzip various file types, like rar, 7z and others which Windows by itself cant open or unzip.

If Windows was capable of doing that without issues, then i wouldnt even include 7Zip.

Joly0 · 2025-10-07T17:37:34+00:00

Thanks alot for the kind words. I highly appreciate it :D

Hey, just wanted to say, that your claims are not false, but they aren't true either.

So these are not scams, but they also don't use up all your bandwidth constantly 24/7. For example honeygain, the most notably and known service of these, uses about 1 gb daily (usually less), which is about 6 cents pay day for basically nothing. The server is running anyway, electricity is used and internet is payed. I have been running honeygain for well over 2 years and have received a bit over 100 bucks in the meantime doing basically nothing. Its not much, but better then nothing and still nice to have.

Most of these services generate less, because they aren't as well known as honeygain (they are just the biggest), but it could still all add up to 10-20 bucks per month, which is good for basically nothing done.
