Could you build this?
Partial While the web interface and simple grading scripts are vibe-codeable, building a secure, automated sandbox that inspects live Linux system states and evaluates exercises reliably requires non-trivial infrastructure design.
What it would actually take: Requires a containerized orchestration layer (Docker/Firecracker microVMs) paired with a CLI runner that mounts or provisions isolated Linux environments. The grading engine needs automated bash/Python validation scripts to inspect kernel state, systemd services, filesystem permissions, and network sockets without security vulnerabilities. Specialized systems architecture knowledge in Linux isolation, eBPF or OS-level test fixtures, and secure multi-tenant sandbox execution is necessary.
