I thought it was more commonplace to develop inside containers or vms. I don’t trust running npm or pip or gradle or go install in my own machine.

I use VMs myself. I use Proxmox and have it setup so that I can spin up a fresh VM in around 10-20 seconds when needed. I also like that I can take snapshots.

I really want to limit the amount of software I am installing on my main system due to possible security issues.

    Do you have any example scripts for your setup?

    I have recently moved to a VM only development workflow, but still feeling some growing pains as I figure out a good setup. I run my IDE in the guest, which is kind of crummy - responsiveness is worse + the VMs are a lot heavier than a headless code setup would be. I have thought about using a Flatpak IDE with filesystem access disabled as a potential middle ground solution so that the guests could be minimal images connected by SSH.

      I have taken cloud images and set them up with 'cloud-init'. So I can bring them up very quickly.
