I think we should have sticky post about security and risks and safe practices as agentic become more prominent.

Key Points

  • The post argues that while early local LLM setups (e.g., Ollama/llama.cpp) were relatively safer, the rise of agentic AI has increased the need for explicit security guidance.
  • It warns that many beginner resources and YouTube/simple guides focus on installation without adequately covering security risks.
  • The author proposes the community add a sticky thread dedicated to security and safe practices, where users can share practical setup and hardening guides (e.g., securing Docker).
  • Over time, the thread could evolve into an FAQ or set of guidelines to help new users adopt safer default behaviors when deploying agentic/local models.
  • Overall, the proposal is a community-driven initiative to reduce preventable security mistakes as agentic tooling becomes more accessible.

Many started with ollama / llama.cpp and other simple framework / backends that are relatively safe

But in recent months agentic ai has became more popular and accessible to which in my opinion is very welcoming.

But if one is to go watch youtube videos or simple guide they will find simple set of instruction that will simply instruct them to install without mentioning security at all.

I think this is where this sub can step in.

We should have a sticky post with discussion about security people can post guides like how to install docker or to secure it and etc, and in time we will some sort of faq / guide lines for new comer.
