In this video, I walk you through how to install and run Claude Code in a container—step by step, no guesswork. By the end, you’ll know exactly where to go in the Claude interface, what to click, and what’s actually required to unlock the containerized coding workspace. The big idea here is simple: Claude can spin up a secure, cloud-based environment where it can generate, execute, and debug real code with you, without you configuring anything on your local machine. I start from Claude’s new chat page in your browser, then head straight to the left sidebar and click into the “Code” workspace. That’s the container environment—think of it like a lightweight on-demand dev setup that runs behind the scenes. I also call out the key limitation people hit: you need an upgraded plan to access Code, because it uses dedicated compute to launch and maintain your session. Before upgrading, I recommend checking usage limits, session duration, and constraints like CPU/memory/timeouts, plus the fact that containers are ephemeral and can reset. Once you’re eligible, you’ll see the file explorer and terminal-style output, and you can start creating files, running commands, and iterating fast inside a managed sandbox.
