[Feature Request] Replace E2B with local Docker sandbox for self-hosted deployments #4965

Problem

In self-hosted Kubernetes deployments, the Function block shows:

"JavaScript code with import statements requires E2B to be enabled.
Please remove the import statements, or contact your administrator to enable E2B"

E2B is an external third-party cloud service. Self-hosted users should not
be forced to depend on an external paid service for basic code execution.

Feature Request

Add a local sandbox execution option for self-hosted instances — for example:

• Spin up an isolated Docker/Kubernetes Job to execute the Function block code
• Use Node.js child_process with --experimental-vm-modules for JS imports
• Use a restricted Python container for Python execution

This would allow self-hosted users to use JavaScript imports and Python
in Function blocks without needing an E2B account or external dependency.

Why This Matters

• Self-hosted users want full data privacy — no code leaving the cluster
• E2B is a paid external service — adds cost and external dependency
• Simple use cases (import lodash, import axios) don't need a full microVM

Alternatives Considered

• E2B self-hosting via Terraform — too complex, requires AWS/GCP infra
• Using fetch() only — limits what Function blocks can do
