#where will you host it ?
weary shard
hey, you can safely host it outside of docker if you don't mind if you lose everythin on that server
local server or on your own computer
?
arctic berry
my own machine

the server is my own machine lol
weary shard
in general that's not recomended or at least i wouldn't advise that
but if it's just for testing it's ok
arctic berry
so how can i give it file access otherwise
do people not usually do that with these agents?
weary shard
if you put it in docker it will have it's own space and if it fucks up then the rest of your computer is still safe
and you can create volumes
arctic berry
and you can create volumes
what are volumes
weary shard
volumes it's like creating a folder on your pc and mounting it to your docker
so docker will see it like it's own ssd
arctic berry
like tbh i was very close to running the quick install command in my computer root when i first started but i thouhgt maybe i shouldnt do that
arctic berry
volumes it's like creating a folder on your pc and mounting it to your docker
ohhh, so the files i give it access to would be determined before hand
weary shard
but listen don't worry it's easy
arctic berry
for example, ic ant get this agent to organize my desktop folder
weary shard
don't try to learn docker for now
just chatgpt or gemini this little by little step by step
weary shard
for example, ic ant get this agent to organize my desktop folder
aaaah
ok then that's something else
arctic berry
yeah so maybe take that tradeoff and run this off a vm is the move
weary shard
i thought you just didn't know where to put it but now you want it to access your omputer to do stuff that's a whole other story 😆
arctic berry
i might set up an oracle box
arctic berry
i thought you just didn't know where to put it but now you want it to access you...
hah yeah i just didint know if that was a valid use case
curernyl im very deep into discovering use cases for these agents but dont know of many so i was just wondering
weary shard
it's better on a vm anyways because if you want it to run when your pc is shuttdown
arctic berry
yeah
weary shard
also for example for me i tell it to do stuff from my phone when i'm on the move
arctic berry
can you give me an example use case youve had
weary shard
i think if i'm not mistaken even if it's on the vm you can still make it access your computer
but i'm not exactly sure how i'll give you a theory but check it out later with an AI
arctic berry
i will probably jsut take that tradeoff an ai agent with access to my file system doesnt sound smart
okay ill set up a VM and install through there, any security measures to take when setting up in a VM?
weary shard
you can use an mcp to control your pc and you'll need a way to bridge it from your vm to your computer (this part i don't know) and for seurity don't ssh to your vm all the time after setup try using tailscale/vpn
i use cloudflare tunnels but it's not the best apparently
arctic berry
okay thank you for the adivce, mind accepting my add if i have more questions
weary shard
okay ill set up a VM and install through there, any security measures to take wh...
when you say vm, on your computer ?
weary shard
ah ok
arctic berry
oracle*
weary shard
euuuh
arctic berry
i want to promtp when my computer is off
weary shard
paste this convo in chatgpt 😆
arctic berry
i need ot find more use cases for this agent
i dont email much, i dont calendar much, that seems like the main uses lol
weary shard
it's been 2 days since i slept my wife would kill me but if you want i can try to help you tomorrow, or chatgpt or the people on the server they're super nice
weary shard
i need ot find more use cases for this agent
that's the hardest part x)
arctic berry
thank you brother i appreaictea all the help get a good rest
weary shard
i'll see that with you if you want
i'm supposed to make a training program for companies on agents and i'm completely lost myself
arctic berry
hahha thats a great business model
we can figure it out together
i run a club at my school around agentic AI and am gonna run workshops
so similar boat
weary shard
for example i gave it my cloudflare api key to modify tunnels so that when i'm on the go i make a website and publish it on my subdomain without touching my pc
you can also extract youtube transcripts of your watch later and rank them from least useful to best
bye bye
arctic berry
hahah yeah for me i still wouldny trust any agent over the phone for development I cant actively oversee
weary shard
where are you from ?
weary shard
oooh nice
arctic berry
fire bro, good to see we are both gmi
arctic berry
just sent conenciton
gonna make it
gonna survive the aipocalype by staying at the forefront of innovatyion
arctic berry
i see this as the second coming of the world wide web lol
weary shard
yup
