#### LXD-based sandboxes for running AI tools safely on Ubuntu

AI Lab creates lightweight LXD containers pre-wired to use AI services
running on your host (lemonade-server, ollama). Each container shares your
home directory, keeping installed software isolated from the rest of your
system.

Use the CLI to create and manage sandboxes:

ailab new mybox --install openclaw
ailab run mybox
ailab list

Or use the web management interface — a browser-based dashboard with live
progress, an in-browser terminal, and log tailing. It runs as a background
daemon and is accessible at <http://127.0.0.1:11500> by default.

Configure the host and port:

snap set ailab web.host=0.0.0.0
snap set ailab web.port=11500

Connect to an AI Lab Cloud hub for remote access:

snap set ailab cloud.host=<https://cloud.example.com>
snap set ailab cloud.token=<token from hub dashboard>
snap set ailab cloud.user=<your GitHub username>
snap set ailab cloud.device-id=<device name shown in dashboard>
snap set ailab cloud.ports=11500,18789
