## FAQ

### Is this server secure?

No, it provides remote command execution (RCE) and should only be run in a protected, disposable sandbox like a Docker container or virtual machine.

### How is authentication handled?

Authentication is enabled by default using a bearer token, which is either randomly generated at startup or set manually via configuration.

### Can I restrict which commands the AI can run?

Yes, you can define an allowlist of permitted commands in the configuration file.

### Does it support Docker?

Yes, the project includes setup files for a full-featured Debian-based Docker sandbox system container.
