GEMINI_SANDBOX=UDOCKER: enable sandboxing via Udocker #15888
Description
What would you like to be added?
To use udocker as additional sandbox option for Gemini CLI
Why is this needed?
Android can't support Docker / Podman using stock kernels, but udocker don't require any custom kernel modules, so you can use udocker on Android devices to sandbox Gemini (in theory)

Feature request to add udocker as a sandboxing option.
Effort Analysis:
Adding support for udocker sandboxing involves updating the sandbox configuration schema (
VALID_SANDBOX_COMMANDSandgetSandboxCommandinpackages/cli/src/config/sandboxConfig.ts) to recognize theudockercommand and handle it similarly to docker or podman. This requires trivial logic and string parsing config updates without fundamentally altering the core architecture, which aligns with effort/small.Adib234 commentedon May 11, 2026
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Right now, our engineering team is focusing all resources on critical system maintenance and core stability. Because of this, we don't have immediate plans to address this specific issue, but we truly appreciate you flagging it for us.
