Containarium v0.116.0

What changed

Added

• execute task graphs with bounded parallelism (#2805) (#2839)
• audit the startup clamp and hold-id upgrades; quarantine blank hold ids (Q31) (#3006)
• default egress allow-list in log_only for tenants with no stored policy (#2577 stage 1) (#2992)

Fixed

• fresh windows after a lock wait, upgrade-safe cap and hold ids (#2933 review follow-up) (#2999)
• only a primary's own bind clears its auth-health 401s; pin every daemon-AUTH route (#2892) (#3000)
• keep default-egress DNS off the startup path; test the reconcile wiring and fallback (#2997) (#2998)

Internal

• cut v0.116.0 — default egress allow-list (log_only), crew task graphs, retention upgrade audit, sentinel auth-health fixes (#3007)
• guard the failback test's log capture against a leaked goroutine's writes (#2963) (#3002)

Other

• test+docs: empty-local-file planted object below chain base; runbook note on rewritten base (#2990)

Containarium v0.116.0

The open-source, self-hostable, agent-native sandbox.

Binaries

Four binaries ship in this release:

Binary	Where it runs	What it does
containariumd	The host	The platform daemon plus host-side admin commands.
containarium	Your laptop / CI (linux, macOS, windows)	The client CLI: create, list, expose-port, ssh-config, etc. against a server (--server).
mcp-server	Your laptop	The platform MCP — outside-the-box admin (create_container, list_containers, expose_port, list_backends). Wire it into Claude Code / Cursor.
agent-box	Inside each Containarium container	The in-the-box MCP — shell_exec, read_file, write_file, etc. Reached over stdio, typically via SSH.

Quick install (Linux host)

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/footprintai/containarium/main/hacks/install.sh | sudo bash

Manual install (any binary, any platform)

# containariumd daemon (Linux x86_64 host)
curl -L -o /usr/local/bin/containariumd \
  https://github.com/footprintai/containarium/releases/download/v0.116.0/containariumd-linux-amd64
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/containariumd
ln -sf /usr/local/bin/containariumd /usr/local/bin/containarium

# containarium client CLI (your laptop, e.g. macOS arm64)
curl -L -o /usr/local/bin/containarium \
  https://github.com/footprintai/containarium/releases/download/v0.116.0/containarium-darwin-arm64
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/containarium

# Windows: the same client CLI (create/list/ssh/… against a remote server)
# PowerShell:
#   curl.exe -L -o containarium.exe `
#     https://github.com/footprintai/containarium/releases/download/v0.116.0/containarium-windows-amd64.exe

# platform MCP (your laptop, e.g. macOS arm64)
curl -L -o /usr/local/bin/mcp-server \
  https://github.com/footprintai/containarium/releases/download/v0.116.0/mcp-server-darwin-arm64
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/mcp-server

# agent-box (drop into your container image, Linux x86_64)
curl -L -o /usr/local/bin/agent-box \
  https://github.com/footprintai/containarium/releases/download/v0.116.0/agent-box-linux-amd64
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/agent-box

SBOMs

Each Linux binary has an SPDX 2.3 SBOM next to it (<binary>-linux-amd64.spdx.json), generated from the shipped file and listed in SHA256SUMS.txt. The container images carry their own SBOM and provenance attestations.

Signatures

Every file on this page has a keyless cosign signature next to it, <file>.sigstore.json, made by this release workflow through GitHub OIDC. Verify with cosign verify-blob --bundle <file>.sigstore.json --certificate-identity https://github.com/FootprintAI/Containarium/.github/workflows/release.yml@refs/tags/v0.116.0 --certificate-oidc-issuer https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com <file>. See docs/security/VERIFYING-RELEASES.md.

Kubernetes (Helm)

Chart version 0.116.0 (installs the v0.116.0 daemon image):

helm install containarium oci://ghcr.io/footprintai/charts/containarium-k8s \
  --version 0.116.0 \
  --set daemon.jwtSecret="$(openssl rand -hex 24)" \
  --set gateway.upstreamKeySecret=sshpiper-upstream-key \
  --set-file gateway.upstreamPublicKey=./sshpiper_upstream.pub

MCP client setup

Wire the platform MCP into Claude Code (~/.claude.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "containarium": {
      "command": "/usr/local/bin/mcp-server",
      "env": {
        "CONTAINARIUM_SERVER_URL": "http://your-host:8080",
        "CONTAINARIUM_JWT_TOKEN": "<your-token>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Wire agent-box for in-the-box file/shell ops:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "containarium-box": {
      "command": "ssh",
      "args": ["user@your-box", "agent-box"]
    }
  }
}
