You can create a Dockerfile with all your standard tooling in it (compilers, interpreters, build systems, etc.) as well as your harnesses like Opencode. Then `-v` your workspace and `~/.config/opencode`. Create a user in the Dockerfile and have it run as that user instead of root. You can give it your UID so it can read/write to the workspace in the volume mount.

You can set the entrypoint to your harness (e.g. opencode). Alternatively you can set the entrypoint to something like `cat` or `sleep`, then just exec into the running container to start the harness or whatever other tools you want.

I’ve been meaning to do this myself. I do tend to run Opencode and Claude Code just as my regular user and it’s starting to worry me too.
