Llama.cpp server enables RAG and shell commands via multi-sandbox setup

A user on Reddit's r/LocalLLaMA shared a detailed method for enabling Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) and other command-line functionalities within the llama.cpp server's web UI. This approach involves enabling native tools in llama-server, installing and configuring `firejail` for system-wide sandboxing, and creating a dedicated user with a virtual machine container harness called `smolmachines`. The setup culminates in a multi-layered sandboxing process that allows the LLM to safely execute commands, such as fetching web content using `wget`, directly from its interface. AI
