Certainly your Dagger pipelines will work locally today, and are fully self-contained. They just won't work without a connection to the internet. In practice your pipeline will very often need an internet connection anyway, for downoading images, packages, talking to cloud services etc. There are exceptions (developing on an airplane; airgapped production environments) but outside of these exceptions, you should have everything you need already

Re: TUI. If you want a web UI, we ask that you sign up for Dagger Cloud. We offer it for free. We will not be open sourcing a GUI.

That makes total sense. I applaud you for leaning into the commercial side of Dagger early on in the process of building Dagger!

That being said, I often work in places without solid internet connectivity (e.g. in trains) where I don't want to have a degraded DX (which is why I usually set up everything via Nix which relies heavily on caching all deps to run scripts etc).

Maybe an interesting tradeoff could be to embed a version of the web UI in a VSC extension which still needs an initial/periodic cloud signup.

I'm not at all asking for the GUI to be open-source, rather to have a fully functional offline work setup.
