# API key
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/api-key



To use the API key, you can either:

* **Set the API key as the `E2B_API_KEY` environment variable** to avoid passing it each time you create a sandbox.
* Or pass it directly to `Sandbox.create` as shown below:

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create({ apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY' })
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sbx = Sandbox.create(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY")
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Where to find API key

You can get your API key at <a href="https://console.e2b.dev/?tab=keys">console</a>.

The same API key authenticates both the SDKs and the [CLI](/cli/auth).


# Billing & limits
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/billing

E2B plans, limits, and usage-based pricing. Covers the Hobby, Pro, and Enterprise plan table (max continuous runtime, concurrent sandboxes, vCPU, memory, disk), API rate limits, and how per-second compute billing works.

E2B uses [usage-based pricing](#usage-based-pricing) - you pay only for what you use. New users receive \$100 in free credits to get started.

[Manage billing in console](https://console.e2b.dev/?tab=billing)

## Plans

| Feature | Hobby | Pro | Enterprise |
| :- | - | - | - |
| **Base price** | \$0/month | \$150/month | Custom |
| **Free credits** | \$100 (one-time) | No additional credits | Custom |
| **Max vCPUs** | 8 | <Tooltip>8+</Tooltip> | Custom |
| **Max memory** | 8 GiB | <Tooltip>8+ GiB</Tooltip> | Custom |
| **Disk size** | 10 GiB | <Tooltip>20+ GiB</Tooltip> | Custom |
| **<Tooltip>Max continuous runtime</Tooltip>** | 1 hour | 24 hours | Custom |
| **<Tooltip>Concurrent sandboxes</Tooltip>** | 20 | <Tooltip>100 - 1,100</Tooltip> | 1,100+ |
| **<Tooltip>Concurrent builds</Tooltip>** | 20 | 20 | Custom |
| **<Tooltip>Sandbox creation rate</Tooltip>** | 1 / sec | 5 / sec | Custom |
| **Paused sandbox retention** | Unlimited | Unlimited | Unlimited |
| **[Secrets](/secrets) per project** | 10 | 100 | 100 |

Max continuous runtime is the time a sandbox can run **without being paused**, not a cap on how long a sandbox can exist. Pausing and resuming resets it, and a paused sandbox is kept indefinitely with no time-to-live. See [How long does a sandbox live?](/faq/sandbox-lifetime).

To upgrade your plan or purchase add-ons, visit the [console billing tab](https://console.e2b.dev/?tab=billing). For Enterprise plans, [contact sales](mailto:enterprise@e2b.dev).

## API rate limits

E2B applies rate limits to API requests. The following default limits are in **requests per second, per project, per endpoint**:

<div>
  | Endpoint | Hobby | Pro | Enterprise |
  | :- | -: | -: | -: |
  | [`GET /sandboxes`](/api-reference/sandboxes/list-sandboxes) | 10 | 20 | Custom |
  | [`GET /v2/sandboxes`](/api-reference/sandboxes/list-sandboxes-v2) | 10 | 20 | Custom |
  | [`GET /sandboxes/metrics`](/api-reference/sandboxes/list-sandbox-metrics) | 10 | 20 | Custom |
  | [`GET /snapshots`](/api-reference/sandboxes/list-snapshots) | 10 | 20 | Custom |
  | [`GET /templates`](/api-reference/templates/list-templates) | 10 | 20 | Custom |
  | [`GET /v2/templates`](/api-reference/templates/list-templates-v2) | 10 | 20 | Custom |
  | [`GET /templates/{templateID}`](/api-reference/templates/get-template) | 10 | 20 | Custom |
  | [`GET /templates/{templateID}/tags`](/api-reference/tags/list-template-tags) | 10 | 20 | Custom |
  | [`GET /api-keys`](/api-key) | 10 | 20 | Custom |
  | [`GET /volumes`](/api-reference/volumes/list-team-volumes) | 10 | 20 | Custom |
  | [`GET /secrets`](/api-reference/secrets/list-secrets) | 10 | 20 | Custom |
</div>

<Note>
  Enterprise plans come with API rate limits sized to your workload. [Book a call](https://e2b.dev/contact) with our team or contact us at [enterprise@e2b.dev](mailto:enterprise@e2b.dev) to discuss your limits.
</Note>

You share each endpoint's limit across all API keys and clients in your [project](/projects). Requests to one endpoint do not consume another endpoint's allowance. For endpoints with a path parameter, such as `/templates/{templateID}`, requests for different template IDs share the same allowance.

These limits include requests made through the SDKs and CLI. Each request for a page of results counts toward the limit.

### Exceeding a limit

If you exceed a limit, you receive an HTTP `429 Too Many Requests` response with a `Retry-After` header.

Starting with version **2.49.1**, the E2B JavaScript and Python SDKs automatically retry these requests using the `Retry-After` delay.

If you handle retries yourself, wait the number of seconds in `Retry-After` before retrying the request.

### Requesting a higher limit

To request a higher API rate limit, contact [support@e2b.dev](mailto:support@e2b.dev). For custom limits on the Enterprise plan, [contact sales](mailto:enterprise@e2b.dev).

***

## Usage-based pricing

You pay per second for compute resources while your sandbox is running.

Upgrading to the Pro tier does not grant additional credits. It only increases the limits available to your project (such as concurrent sandboxes, continuous runtime, and resource ceilings).

### Compute costs

Use the [usage cost calculator](https://e2b.dev/pricing#:~:text=Usage%20Cost%20Calculator) on our pricing page to estimate costs for your specific configuration.

### Customizing compute resources

You can customize allocated CPU and RAM when building custom templates by specifying `cpuCount` and `memoryMB` in the build configuration.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Template, defaultBuildLogger } from 'e2b'

  await Template.build(template, 'my-template', {
    cpuCount: 8,
    memoryMB: 4096,
    onBuildLogs: defaultBuildLogger(),
  })
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Template, default_build_logger

  Template.build(
      template,
      'my-template',
      cpu_count=8,
      memory_mb=4096,
      on_build_logs=default_build_logger(),
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

See [template quickstart](/template/quickstart) for more details on building custom templates.

<Note>
  Need higher CPU or RAM limits? Contact [support@e2b.dev](mailto:support@e2b.dev) for more information.

# E2B CLI
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/cli



E2B CLI is a command line tool that allows you to manage and interact with sandboxes and [templates](/template/quickstart).

## Installation

**Using Homebrew (on macOS)**

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash Terminal theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  brew install e2b
  ```
</CodeGroup>

**Using NPM**

You can install E2B CLI using the following command:

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash Terminal theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  npm i -g @e2b/cli
  ```
</CodeGroup>


# Authentication in CLI
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/cli/auth



There are two ways to authenticate with the E2B CLI:

## Option 1: browser authentication

<Warning>
  This option requires an interactive browser environment.
</Warning>

Run the following command to sign in through your browser:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
e2b auth login
```

This will open your default browser and prompt you to authenticate with your E2B account.

## Option 2: setup environment variables

This is the recommended option for non-interactive environments like CI/CD pipelines, servers, and containers. Set a single environment variable with your API key:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
export E2B_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
```

With the API key set, you can run CLI commands directly without `e2b auth login`. Use CLI version 2.12.1 or later.

<Info>
  Learn more about obtaining and managing your API key on the [API Key page](/api-key).
</Info>

## Switch the active project

If your E2B account has access to more than one [project](/projects), you can choose which one the CLI uses:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
e2b auth configure
```

Run this after signing in with `e2b auth login`. The CLI shows an interactive list of your projects and stores the one you select as the active project, so subsequent CLI commands use that project's API key. You need to be logged in first for this command to work.


# Connect to sandbox
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/cli/connect-to-sandbox



You can connect an interactive terminal to an already running sandbox.

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash Terminal theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  e2b sandbox connect <sandbox-id>
  ```
</CodeGroup>

Unlike the `create` command, `connect` does not kill the sandbox when you disconnect. When you exit the terminal, only your terminal session is closed—the sandbox continues running.

Once connected, you can inspect the sandbox filesystem and processes to debug or experiment, or use it as a dedicated environment for running agents instead of your local computer.


# Create sandbox
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/cli/create-sandbox



You can create a sandbox and connect an interactive terminal to it.

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash Terminal theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  e2b sandbox create <template>
  ```
</CodeGroup>

For example, to create a sandbox from the `base` template:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
e2b sandbox create base
```

This will:

1. Create a new sandbox from the specified template
2. Connect your terminal to the sandbox
3. Keep the sandbox alive while you're connected
4. Automatically kill the sandbox when you exit the terminal

Once connected, you can inspect the sandbox filesystem and processes to debug or experiment, or use it as a dedicated environment for running agents instead of your local computer.


# Execute commands in sandbox
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/cli/exec-command



You can execute commands in a running sandbox.

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash Terminal theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  e2b sandbox exec <sandbox-id> <command>
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Pipe command from stdin

You can pipe directly into the sandbox as well:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
echo "foo" | e2b sandbox exec <sandbox-id> <command>
```

### Run in background

Use the `--background` flag to run a command in the background and return immediately. The command will print the process ID (PID) to stderr:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
e2b sandbox exec --background <sandbox-id> "sleep 60 && echo done"
```

### Set working directory

Use the `--cwd` flag to specify the working directory for the command:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
e2b sandbox exec --cwd /home/user <sandbox-id> ls
```

### Run as specific user

Use the `--user` flag to run the command as a specific user:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
e2b sandbox exec --user root <sandbox-id> apt-get update
```

### Set environment variables

Use the `--env` flag to set environment variables. This flag can be repeated for multiple variables:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
e2b sandbox exec --env NODE_ENV=production --env DEBUG=true <sandbox-id> node app.js
```


# Fork sandbox
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/cli/fork-sandbox



You can fork a running sandbox into one or more new sandboxes with the `e2b sandbox fork` (alias `fk`) command.

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash Terminal theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  e2b sandbox fork <sandboxID>
  ```
</CodeGroup>

The sandbox is snapshotted in place — paused, captured with its full filesystem and memory state, and resumed — and the new sandbox boots from that snapshot. The original sandbox keeps running with its ID and expiration untouched. Learn more about [sandbox forking](/sandbox/fork).

The command prints the ID of each new sandbox on its own line, so you can pass it to other commands:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
e2b sandbox connect $(e2b sandbox fork <sandboxID>)
```

### Create multiple forks

To boot several sandboxes from the same snapshot, use the `--count` flag. The snapshot is captured once regardless of the count.

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
e2b sandbox fork <sandboxID> --count 3
```

Each fork succeeds or fails independently. The IDs of the forks that started are printed to stdout, a message for each fork that failed is printed to stderr, and the command exits with a non-zero status if any fork failed.

### Fork timeout

To set how long the forked sandboxes live, use the `--timeout` flag with a value in seconds. It defaults to 5 minutes and applies to the forks only — the original sandbox's expiration is not changed.

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
e2b sandbox fork <sandboxID> --timeout 600
```


# List sandboxes
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/cli/list-sandboxes



You can list all sandboxes using the following command:

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash Terminal theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  e2b sandbox list
  ```
</CodeGroup>

This will return running sandboxes, you can specify `--state` to get paused or both.

### Filter by state

To filter the sandboxes by their state you can specify the `--state` flag, which can either be "**running**", "**paused**" or both.

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
e2b sandbox list --state running,paused
```

### Filter by metadata

To filter the sandboxes by their metadata, use the `--metadata` flag.

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
e2b sandbox list --metadata key1=value1,key2=value2
```

### Filter by template

To filter the sandboxes by the template they were created from, use the `--template` flag with a template ID or alias.

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
e2b sandbox list --template base
```

### Filter by start time

To return only sandboxes started at or after a given time, use the `--started-after` flag with an ISO 8601 timestamp.

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
e2b sandbox list --started-after 2025-01-01T00:00:00Z
```

### Sort order

To sort the sandboxes by their start time, use the `--order` flag with `asc` or `desc`.

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
e2b sandbox list --order desc
```

### List limit

To limit the amount of sandboxes returned by the command, use the `--limit` flag.

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
e2b sandbox list --limit 10
```

By default, the command returns up to 1000 sandboxes. Use `--limit 0` to return all sandboxes.

### Output format

To output the sandboxes in JSON format, use the `--format` flag.

**Pretty print (default)**

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
e2b sandbox list --format pretty
```

**JSON**

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
e2b sandbox list --format json
```


# Manage snapshots
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/cli/manage-snapshots



You can manage sandbox snapshots with the `e2b sandbox snapshot` (alias `snap`) commands.

### Create a snapshot

To create a snapshot from a sandbox, use the `create` command with the sandbox ID.

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash Terminal theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  e2b sandbox snapshot create <sandboxID>
  ```
</CodeGroup>

You can name the snapshot template with the `--name` flag. If a template with that name already exists, it is reused.

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
e2b sandbox snapshot create <sandboxID> --name my-snapshot
```

### List snapshots

To list all snapshots, use the `list` command.

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
e2b sandbox snapshot list
```

To list only snapshots created from a specific sandbox, pass the sandbox ID.

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
e2b sandbox snapshot list <sandboxID>
```

You can filter by snapshot name or ID with the `--name` flag, optionally tag-qualified.

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
e2b sandbox snapshot list --name my-snapshot:v1
```

To limit the amount of snapshots returned, use the `--limit` flag. By default, the command returns up to 1000 snapshots. Use `--limit 0` to return all snapshots.

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
e2b sandbox snapshot list --limit 10
```

To output the snapshots in JSON format, use the `--format` flag.

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
e2b sandbox snapshot list --format json
```

### Delete snapshots

To delete one or more snapshots, use the `delete` command with the snapshot IDs.

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
e2b sandbox snapshot delete <snapshotID> [snapshotID...]
```


# Shutdown running sandboxes
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/cli/shutdown-sandboxes



You can shutdown single or all running sandboxes with the E2B CLI.

## Shutdown single or multiple sandboxes

To shutdown a single or multiple sandboxes, run the following command:

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash Terminal theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  e2b sandbox kill <sandbox-id1> <sandbox-id2> <sandbox-id3>
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Shutdown all sandboxes

To shutdown all running sandboxes, run the following command:

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash Terminal theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  e2b sandbox kill --all
  ```
</CodeGroup>

Further, you can filter the sandboxes to be shutdown by state, metadata or both.

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash Terminal theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  e2b sandbox kill --all --state=running,paused
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash Terminal theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  e2b sandbox kill --all --metadata=key=value
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash Terminal theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  e2b sandbox kill --all --state=running,paused --metadata=key=value
  ```
</CodeGroup>


# SDK client
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/client

Create a custom client with options

The top-level `Sandbox`, `Volume`, `Template`, and `Secret` exports read their configuration from the environment variables (`E2B_API_KEY`, `E2B_DOMAIN`, …). If you need an explicit configuration — for example several API keys, teams, or [BYOC or self-hosted deployments](/byoc) in a single process — create an `E2B` client and use the resources it exposes.

<Note>
  Per-call options take precedence over the client's options, which take precedence over the environment variables.
</Note>

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { E2B } from 'e2b'

  const client = new E2B({ apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY', domain: 'e2b.app' })

  const sandbox = await client.Sandbox.create()
  const result = await sandbox.commands.run('echo "Hello from E2B!"')
  console.log(result.stdout) // Hello from E2B!
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import E2B

  client = E2B(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY", domain="e2b.app")

  sandbox = client.Sandbox.create()
  result = sandbox.commands.run('echo "Hello from E2B!"')
  print(result.stdout)  # Hello from E2B!
  ```

  ```python Python (async) theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import E2B

  client = E2B(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY", domain="e2b.app")

  sandbox = await client.AsyncSandbox.create()
  result = await sandbox.commands.run('echo "Hello from E2B!"')
  print(result.stdout)  # Hello from E2B!
  ```
</CodeGroup>

The [Code Interpreter](/code-interpreting/analyze-data-with-ai) and [Desktop](/use-cases/computer-use) SDKs export the same client from their own package entrypoint, with the package's `Sandbox` bound to it instead of the core one.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { E2B } from '@e2b/code-interpreter'
  import { E2B } from '@e2b/desktop'
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b_code_interpreter import E2B
  from e2b_desktop import E2B
  ```
</CodeGroup>

The classes exposed by the client behave exactly like the top-level exports of the same name — only the defaults change. You can also destructure them and use them as usual.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  const { Sandbox, Volume, Template, Secret } = new E2B({ apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY' })

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create()
  const volume = await Volume.create('my-volume')
  const exists = await Template.exists('my-template')
  await Secret.create('openai-api-key', 'sk-***')
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  client = E2B(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY")
  Sandbox, Volume, Template, Secret = (
      client.Sandbox,
      client.Volume,
      client.Template,
      client.Secret,
  )

  sandbox = Sandbox.create()
  volume = Volume.create("my-volume")
  exists = Template.exists("my-template")
  Secret.create("openai-api-key", "sk-***")
  ```

  ```python Python (async) theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  client = E2B(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY")
  Sandbox, Volume, Template, Secret = (
      client.AsyncSandbox,
      client.AsyncVolume,
      client.AsyncTemplate,
      client.AsyncSecret,
  )

  sandbox = await Sandbox.create()
  volume = await Volume.create("my-volume")
  exists = await Template.exists("my-template")
  await Secret.create("openai-api-key", "sk-***")
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Client options

The client accepts the same options as the individual SDK calls, for example `apiKey`/`api_key`, `domain`, `requestTimeoutMs`/`request_timeout`, `proxy`, `apiHeaders`/`api_headers`, and `logger` (JavaScript only).

In JavaScript, the only exception is `signal`: it cancels a single in-flight request, so it can only be passed per call.

## Multiple clients

Clients are isolated from each other and from the env-configured top-level exports, so you can use as many of them side by side as you need.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { E2B, Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const production = new E2B({ apiKey: 'PRODUCTION_API_KEY' })
  const staging = new E2B({ apiKey: 'STAGING_API_KEY', domain: 'e2b-staging.dev' })

  await production.Sandbox.create()
  await staging.Sandbox.create()

  // Still uses the E2B_API_KEY environment variable.
  await Sandbox.create()
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import E2B, Sandbox

  production = E2B(api_key="PRODUCTION_API_KEY")
  staging = E2B(api_key="STAGING_API_KEY", domain="e2b-staging.dev")

  production.Sandbox.create()
  staging.Sandbox.create()

  # Still uses the E2B_API_KEY environment variable.
  Sandbox.create()
  ```

  ```python Python (async) theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import E2B, AsyncSandbox

  production = E2B(api_key="PRODUCTION_API_KEY")
  staging = E2B(api_key="STAGING_API_KEY", domain="e2b-staging.dev")

  await production.AsyncSandbox.create()
  await staging.AsyncSandbox.create()

  # Still uses the E2B_API_KEY environment variable.
  await AsyncSandbox.create()
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Multiple regions

<Note>
  Regions do not share state. A project and its API key belong to exactly one region, and the sandboxes, templates, and volumes it owns exist only there. Two things to plan for:

  * **Build your own templates once per region.** There is no way to copy a template between regions, so run [`Template.build`](/template/build) through each region's client. The same template name in every region is fine.
  * **A sandbox ID only resolves in its own region.** Connect to a sandbox, list it, or kill it through the client for the region that created it.
</Note>

If a single process only ever talks to one region, you do not need a client at all. Set `E2B_API_KEY` and `E2B_DOMAIN` to that region's values and keep using the top-level exports.

E2B's managed cloud runs in several regions. `us-west-1` is the default, and [support](https://console.e2b.dev/?support=true) enables the other regions for your account. See [Migrate between regions](/faq/migrate-between-regions), [EU region](/faq/eu-region), and [Egress IP ranges](/faq/egress-ip-ranges) for more on where sandboxes run.

There is no `region` option. Each region is a separate deployment with its own API endpoint, so you select one by pointing a client at that region's `domain`:

| Region | Domain |
| - | - |
| `us-west-1` | `e2b.app` (default) |
| `us-west-2` | `foxtrot-2.e2b.dev` |
| `eu-west-1` | `e2b-juliett.dev` |
| `ap-southeast-1` | `e2b-tango.dev` |

When support enables a region, they help you create a [project](/projects) there. That project has its own API key, so a multiregion setup is one client per region, each with its own key and domain.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { E2B } from 'e2b'

  // One client per region, each with the API key of that region's project.
  const regions = {
    usWest1: new E2B({ apiKey: 'e2b_YOUR_US_WEST_1_KEY' }), // Default domain: e2b.app
    usWest2: new E2B({ apiKey: 'e2b_YOUR_US_WEST_2_KEY', domain: 'foxtrot-2.e2b.dev' }),
    euWest1: new E2B({ apiKey: 'e2b_YOUR_EU_WEST_1_KEY', domain: 'e2b-juliett.dev' }),
    apSoutheast1: new E2B({ apiKey: 'e2b_YOUR_AP_SOUTHEAST_1_KEY', domain: 'e2b-tango.dev' }),
  }

  // Route each workload to the region it should run in.
  const client = regions[user.region] ?? regions.usWest1

  const sandbox = await client.Sandbox.create('my-template')
  const result = await sandbox.commands.run('echo "Hello from E2B!"')
  console.log(result.stdout) // Hello from E2B!
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import E2B

  # One client per region, each with the API key of that region's project.
  regions = {
      "us_west_1": E2B(api_key="e2b_YOUR_US_WEST_1_KEY"),  # Default domain: e2b.app
      "us_west_2": E2B(api_key="e2b_YOUR_US_WEST_2_KEY", domain="foxtrot-2.e2b.dev"),
      "eu_west_1": E2B(api_key="e2b_YOUR_EU_WEST_1_KEY", domain="e2b-juliett.dev"),
      "ap_southeast_1": E2B(api_key="e2b_YOUR_AP_SOUTHEAST_1_KEY", domain="e2b-tango.dev"),
  }

  # Route each workload to the region it should run in.
  client = regions.get(user_region, regions["us_west_1"])

  sandbox = client.Sandbox.create("my-template")
  result = sandbox.commands.run('echo "Hello from E2B!"')
  print(result.stdout)  # Hello from E2B!
  ```

  ```python Python (async) theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import E2B

  # One client per region, each with the API key of that region's project.
  regions = {
      "us_west_1": E2B(api_key="e2b_YOUR_US_WEST_1_KEY"),  # Default domain: e2b.app
      "us_west_2": E2B(api_key="e2b_YOUR_US_WEST_2_KEY", domain="foxtrot-2.e2b.dev"),
      "eu_west_1": E2B(api_key="e2b_YOUR_EU_WEST_1_KEY", domain="e2b-juliett.dev"),
      "ap_southeast_1": E2B(api_key="e2b_YOUR_AP_SOUTHEAST_1_KEY", domain="e2b-tango.dev"),
  }

  # Route each workload to the region it should run in.
  client = regions.get(user_region, regions["us_west_1"])

  sandbox = await client.AsyncSandbox.create("my-template")

# Analyze data with AI
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/code-interpreting/analyze-data-with-ai



You can use E2B Sandbox to run AI-generated code to analyze data. Here's how the AI data analysis workflow usually looks like:

1. Your user has a dataset in CSV format or other formats.
2. You prompt the LLM to generate code (usually Python) based on the user's data.
3. The sandbox runs the AI-generated code and returns the results.
4. You display the results to the user.

<Note>
  By default, the Code Interpreter server inside the sandbox is reachable through the sandbox's [public URL](/network/public-url) and runs any code it receives. To make sure only your application can run code in the sandbox, create it with `allowPublicTraffic: false` / `allow_public_traffic: False`. See [Code Interpreter sandboxes](/network/restrict-public-access#code-interpreter-sandboxes).
</Note>

### 1. Install dependencies

Install the E2B SDK and Claude SDK to your project by running the following command in your terminal.

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  npm i @e2b/code-interpreter @anthropic-ai/sdk dotenv
  ```

  ```bash Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  pip install e2b-code-interpreter anthropic python-dotenv
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### 2. Set your API keys

1. Get your E2B API key from <a href="https://console.e2b.dev/?tab=keys">E2B Console</a>.
2. Get your Claude API key from [Claude API Dashboard](https://console.anthropic.com/settings/keys).
3. Paste the keys into your `.env` file.

<CodeGroup title=".env">
  ```bash .env theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  E2B_API_KEY=e2b_***
  ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-***
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### 3. Download example CSV file

We'll be using the publicly available [dataset of about 10,000 movies](https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/muqarrishzaib/tmdb-10000-movies-dataset).

1. Click the "Download" button at the top of the page.
2. Select "Download as zip (2 MB)".
3. Unzip the file and you should see `dataset.csv` file. Move it to the root of your project.

### 4. Initialize the sandbox and upload the dataset to the sandbox

We'll upload the dataset from the third step to the sandbox and save it as `dataset.csv` file.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import 'dotenv/config'
  import fs from 'fs'
  import { Sandbox } from '@e2b/code-interpreter'

  // Create sandbox
  const sbx = await Sandbox.create()

  // Upload the dataset to the sandbox
  const content = fs.readFileSync('dataset.csv')
  const datasetPathInSandbox = await sbx.files.write('dataset.csv', content)
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from dotenv import load_dotenv
  load_dotenv()
  from e2b_code_interpreter import Sandbox

  # Create sandbox
  sbx = Sandbox.create()

  # Upload the dataset to the sandbox
  dataset_path_in_sandbox = ""
  with open("dataset.csv", "rb") as f:
      dataset_path_in_sandbox = sbx.files.write("dataset.csv", f)

  ```
</CodeGroup>

### 5. Prepare the method for running AI-generated code

Add the following code to the file. Here we're adding the method for code execution.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  // ... code from the previous step

  async function runAIGeneratedCode(aiGeneratedCode: string) {
    console.log('Running the code in the sandbox....')
    const execution = await sbx.runCode(aiGeneratedCode)
    console.log('Code execution finished!')
    console.log(execution)
  }
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  # ... code from the previous step

  def run_ai_generated_code(ai_generated_code: str):
      print('Running the code in the sandbox....')
      execution = sbx.run_code(ai_generated_code)
      print('Code execution finished!')
      print(execution)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### 6. Prepare the prompt and initialize Anthropic client

The prompt we'll be using describes the dataset and the analysis we want to perform like this:

1. Describe the columns in the CSV dataset.
2. Ask the LLM what we want to analyze - here we want to analyze the vote average over time. We're asking for a chart as the output.
3. Instruct the LLM to generate Python code for the data analysis.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import Anthropic from '@anthropic-ai/sdk'

  const prompt = `
  I have a CSV file about movies. It has about 10k rows. It's saved in the sandbox at ${dataset_path_in_sandbox.path}.
  These are the columns:
  - 'id': number, id of the movie
  - 'original_language': string like "eng", "es", "ko", etc
  - 'original_title': string that's name of the movie in the original language
  - 'overview': string about the movie
  - 'popularity': float, from 0 to 9137.939. It's not normalized at all and there are outliers
  - 'release_date': date in the format yyyy-mm-dd
  - 'title': string that's the name of the movie in english
  - 'vote_average': float number between 0 and 10 that's representing viewers voting average
  - 'vote_count': int for how many viewers voted

  Write Python code that creates a line chart showing how vote_average changed over the years.
  Do NOT print or explore the data. Just create the visualization directly.

  CRITICAL: Your code MUST end with this exact line to display the plot:
  display(plt.gcf())`

  const anthropic = new Anthropic()
  console.log('Waiting for the model response...')
  const msg = await anthropic.messages.create({
    model: 'claude-haiku-4-5-20251001',
    max_tokens: 1024,
    messages: [{ role: 'user', content: prompt }],
  })
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from anthropic import Anthropic

  prompt = f'''

  Do NOT print or explore the data. Just create the visualization directly.

  CRITICAL: Your code MUST end with this exact line to display the plot:
  display(plt.gcf())'''

  anthropic = Anthropic()
  msg = anthropic.messages.create(
    model='claude-haiku-4-5-20251001',
    max_tokens=1024,
    messages=[
      {"role": "user", "content": prompt}
    ]
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### 7. Connect the sandbox to the LLM with tool calling

We'll use Claude's ability to [use tools (function calling)](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/build-with-claude/tool-use) to run the code in the sandbox.

The way we'll do it is by connecting the method for running AI-generated code we created in the previous step to the Claude model.

Update the initialization of the Anthropic client to include the tool use like this:

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript highlight={5-20} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  const msg = await anthropic.messages.create({
    model: 'claude-haiku-4-5-20251001',
    max_tokens: 1024,
    messages: [{ role: 'user', content: prompt }],
    tools: [
       {
        name: 'run_python_code',
        description: 'Run Python code',
        input_schema: {
          type: 'object',
          properties: {
            code: {
              type: 'string',
              description: 'The Python code to run',
            },
          },
          required: ['code'],
        },
      },
    ],
  })
  ```

  ```python Python highlight={7-19} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  msg = anthropic.messages.create(
    model='claude-haiku-4-5-20251001',
    max_tokens=1024,
    messages=[
      {"role": "user", "content": prompt}
    ],
    tools=[
      {
        "name": "run_python_code",
        "description": "Run Python code",
        "input_schema": {
          "type": "object",
          "properties": {
            "code": { "type": "string", "description": "The Python code to run" },
          },
          "required": ["code"],
        },
      },
    ],
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### 8. Parse the LLM response and run the AI-generated code in the sandbox

Now we'll parse the `msg` object to get the code from the LLM's response based on the tool we created in the previous step.
Once we have the code, we'll pass it to the `runAIGeneratedCode` method in JavaScript or `run_ai_generated_code` method in Python we created in the previous step to run the code in the sandbox.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  // ... code from the previous steps

  interface CodeRunToolInput {
    code: string
  }

  for (const contentBlock of msg.content) {
    if (contentBlock.type === 'tool_use') {
      if (contentBlock.name === 'run_python_code') {
        const code = (contentBlock.input as CodeRunToolInput).code
        console.log('Will run following code in the sandbox', code)
        // Execute the code in the sandbox
        await runAIGeneratedCode(code)
      }
    }
  }
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  for content_block in msg.content:
      if content_block.type == 'tool_use':
          if content_block.name == 'run_python_code':
              code = content_block.input['code']
              print('Will run following code in the sandbox', code)
              # Execute the code in the sandbox
              run_ai_generated_code(code)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### 9. Save the generated chart

When running code in the sandbox for data analysis, you can get different types of results.
Including stdout, stderr, charts, tables, text, runtime errors, and more.

In this example we're specifically asking for a chart so we'll be looking for the chart in the results.

Let's update the `runAIGeneratedCode` method in JavaScript and `run_ai_generated_code` method in Python to check for the chart in the results and save it to the file.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript highlight={7-13,16-18,21-25} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  async function runAIGeneratedCode(aiGeneratedCode: string) {
    console.log('Running the code in the sandbox....')
    const execution = await sbx.runCode(aiGeneratedCode)
    console.log('Code execution finished!')

    // First let's check if the code ran successfully.
    if (execution.error) {
      console.error('AI-generated code had an error.')
      console.log(execution.error.name)
      console.log(execution.error.value)
      console.log(execution.error.traceback)
      process.exit(1)
    }

    // Iterate over all the results and specifically check for png files that will represent the chart.
    let resultIdx = 0
    for (const result of execution.results) {
      if (result.png) {
        // Save the png to a file
        // The png is in base64 format.
        fs.writeFileSync(`chart-${resultIdx}.png`, result.png, { encoding: 'base64' })
        console.log(`Chart saved to chart-${resultIdx}.png`)
        resultIdx++
      }
    }
  }
  ```

  ```python Python highlight={1-2,7-12,15-17,20-23} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import sys
  import base64

  def run_ai_generated_code(ai_generated_code: str):
      print('Running the code in the sandbox....')
      execution = sbx.run_code(ai_generated_code)
      print('Code execution finished!')

      # First let's check if the code ran successfully.
      if execution.error:
          print('AI-generated code had an error.')
          print(execution.error.name)
          print(execution.error.value)
          print(execution.error.traceback)
          sys.exit(1)

      # Iterate over all the results and specifically check for png files that will represent the chart.
      result_idx = 0
      for result in execution.results:
          if result.png:
              # Save the png to a file
              # The png is in base64 format.
              with open(f'chart-{result_idx}.png', 'wb') as f:
                  f.write(base64.b64decode(result.png))
              print(f'Chart saved to chart-{result_idx}.png')
              result_idx += 1
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### 10. Run the code

Now you can run the whole code to see the results.

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  npx tsx index.ts
  ```

  ```bash Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  python main.py
  ```
</CodeGroup>

You should see the chart in the root of your project that will look similar to this:

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

### Full final code

Check the full code in JavaScript and Python below:

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import 'dotenv/config'
  import fs from 'fs'
  import Anthropic from '@anthropic-ai/sdk'
  import { Sandbox } from '@e2b/code-interpreter'

  // Create sandbox
  const sbx = await Sandbox.create()

  // Upload the dataset to the sandbox
  const content = fs.readFileSync('dataset.csv')
  const datasetPathInSandbox = await sbx.files.write('/home/user/dataset.csv', content)

  async function runAIGeneratedCode(aiGeneratedCode: string) {
    const execution = await sbx.runCode(aiGeneratedCode)
    if (execution.error) {
      console.error('AI-generated code had an error.')
      console.log(execution.error.name)
      console.log(execution.error.value)
      console.log(execution.error.traceback)
      process.exit(1)
    }
    // Iterate over all the results and specifically check for png files that will represent the chart.
    let resultIdx = 0
    for (const result of execution.results) {
      if (result.png) {
        // Save the png to a file
        // The png is in base64 format.
        fs.writeFileSync(`chart-${resultIdx}.png`, result.png, { encoding: 'base64' })
        console.log(`Chart saved to chart-${resultIdx}.png`)
        resultIdx++
      }
    }
  }

  const prompt = `

  These are the columns:
  - 'id': number, id of the movie
  - 'original_language': string like "eng", "es", "ko", etc
  - 'original_title': string that's name of the movie in the original language
  - 'overview': string about the movie
  - 'popularity': float, from 0 to 9137.939. It's not normalized at all and there are outliers
  - 'release_date': date in the format yyyy-mm-dd
  - 'title': string that's the name of the movie in english
  - 'vote_average': float number between 0 and 10 that's representing viewers voting average
  - 'vote_count': int for how many viewers voted

  Write Python code that creates a line chart showing how vote_average changed over the years.
  Do NOT print or explore the data. Just create the visualization directly.

# Pre-installed libraries
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/code-interpreting/analyze-data-with-ai/pre-installed-libraries



The sandbox comes with a <a href="https://github.com/e2b-dev/code-interpreter/blob/main/template/requirements.txt">set of pre-installed Python libraries</a> for data analysis but you can <a href="/quickstart/install-custom-packages">install additional packages</a>

<Requirements />


# Create charts & visualizations
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/code-interpreting/create-charts-visualizations



E2B Sandbox allows you to create charts and visualizations by executing Python code inside the sandbox with `runCode()` method in JavaScript and `run_code()` method in Python.

These charts and visualizations can be [static](/code-interpreting/create-charts-visualizations/static-charts) or [interactive](/code-interpreting/create-charts-visualizations/interactive-charts) plots.


# Running commands in sandbox
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/commands



You can run terminal commands inside the sandbox using the `commands.run()` method.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create()
  const result = await sandbox.commands.run('ls -l')
  console.log(result)
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create()
  result = sandbox.commands.run('ls -l')
  print(result)
  ```
</CodeGroup>


# Running commands in background
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/commands/background



To run commands in background, pass the `background` option to the `commands.run()` method. This will return immediately and the command will continue to run in the sandbox until it finishes or its command timeout expires.
You can then later kill the command using the `commands.kill()` method.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript highlight={7} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create()

  // Start the command in the background
  const command = await sandbox.commands.run('echo hello; sleep 10; echo world', {
    background: true,
    onStdout: (data) => {
      console.log(data)
    },
  })

  // Kill the command
  await command.kill()
  ```

  ```python Python highlight={6} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create()

  # Start the command in the background
  command = sandbox.commands.run('echo hello; sleep 10; echo world', background=True)

  # Get stdout and stderr from the command running in the background.
  # You can run this code in a separate thread or use command.wait() to wait for the command to finish.
  for stdout, stderr, _ in command:
      if stdout:
          print(stdout)
      if stderr:
          print(stderr)

  # Kill the command
  command.kill()
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Reconnect to a background command

A background command keeps running inside the sandbox even after the SDK disconnects, as long as its command timeout has not expired. Because sandboxes are long-lived, you can start a long task in one process, return immediately, and reconnect from a completely different process later to wait for it and collect the result.

This is a common pattern for kicking off slow work (code generation, a build, a data job) from a serverless function or API handler: you start the command, store the sandbox ID and process ID, and let a later request pick the work back up.

The example below starts a long-running command (`run-codegen` here is a placeholder for your own binary or script) and returns the two identifiers you need to reconnect: the sandbox ID and the command's process ID (`pid`).

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript highlight={20} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  // Start the task and return right away with the IDs needed to reconnect.
  async function startGeneration(prompt: string) {
    const sandbox = await Sandbox.create({ timeoutMs: 15 * 60_000 })

    // Pass the prompt as an env var, never interpolated into the shell string.
    // Write output to a file so a reconnecting process can read it later.
    const handle = await sandbox.commands.run(
      'run-codegen "$PROMPT" > /home/user/gen.log 2>&1',
      { background: true, timeoutMs: 0, envs: { PROMPT: prompt } }
    )

    return { sandboxId: sandbox.sandboxId, pid: handle.pid }
  }

  // From a separate process, reconnect and wait for the result.
  async function collectGeneration(sandboxId: string, pid: number) {
    const sandbox = await Sandbox.connect(sandboxId)
    const handle = await sandbox.commands.connect(pid, { timeoutMs: 0 })
    await handle.wait()
    return sandbox.files.read('/home/user/gen.log')
  }
  ```

  ```python Python highlight={22} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  # Start the task and return right away with the IDs needed to reconnect.
  def start_generation(prompt: str):
      sandbox = Sandbox.create(timeout=15 * 60)

      # Pass the prompt as an env var, never interpolated into the shell string.
      # Write output to a file so a reconnecting process can read it later.
      handle = sandbox.commands.run(
          'run-codegen "$PROMPT" > /home/user/gen.log 2>&1',
          background=True,
          timeout=0,
          envs={"PROMPT": prompt},
      )

      return {"sandbox_id": sandbox.sandbox_id, "pid": handle.pid}


  # From a separate process, reconnect and wait for the result.
  def collect_generation(sandbox_id: str, pid: int):
      sandbox = Sandbox.connect(sandbox_id)
      handle = sandbox.commands.connect(pid, timeout=0)
      handle.wait()
      return sandbox.files.read("/home/user/gen.log")
  ```
</CodeGroup>

A few details make this reliable across processes:

* **Redirect output to a file.** The streamed `stdout`/`stderr` from a background command is only delivered to the process that started it. Writing to a file (`> /home/user/gen.log 2>&1`) gives you durable output you can read after reconnecting.
* **Pass untrusted input as an environment variable, not string interpolation.** The prompt is provided through `envs` and referenced as `"$PROMPT"`, so the shell inserts it as a literal value. Interpolating user input directly into the command string (for example with a template literal) would let inputs like `$(...)` or backticks run as commands inside the sandbox.
* **Disable the command timeout.** On `commands.run()`, `timeoutMs: 0` (`timeout=0` in Python) disables the command timeout. The default is 60 seconds, and when it expires the process is killed in the sandbox, even when `background` is set. With the timeout disabled, the process keeps running after the client disconnects or exits, and `commands.connect()` reattaches to it. If the connection breaks without closing, for example on a network loss, a command that writes a lot to stdout or stderr can stall, so redirect its output to a file as the example does. On `commands.connect()`, the same option only limits how long the client waits for the command, so the example sets it there too. Set the sandbox `timeoutMs`/`timeout` high enough to outlast the whole job (15 minutes above). See [sandbox persistence](/sandbox/persistence) if you need it to survive even longer.
* **Persist the IDs.** Return or store `sandboxId` and `pid` (for example in a database or the response of an API call). They are all a later process needs to call `Sandbox.connect()` and `commands.connect()`.

`commands.connect(pid)` reattaches to the running command, and `handle.wait()` blocks until it finishes. If you don't know the `pid`, you can look up running processes with `sandbox.commands.list()`.


# Streaming command output
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/commands/streaming



To stream command output as it is being executed, pass the `onStdout`, `onStderr` callbacks to the `commands.run()` method in JavaScript
or the `on_stdout`, `on_stderr` callbacks to the `commands.run()` method in Python.

<Note>
  The SDK asks the sandbox for a keepalive ping every 50 seconds on every stream, so a stream normally stays open for more than an hour even while nothing is written. No single connection is guaranteed that long, so build your client to reconnect. See [Stream connections](/faq/sandbox-lifetime#stream-connections).
</Note>

# Overview
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/filesystem



Each E2B Sandbox has its own isolated filesystem. The [Hobby tier](https://e2b.dev/pricing) sandboxes come with 10 GiB of the free disk space and [Pro tier](https://e2b.dev/pricing) sandboxes come with 20 GiB.

With E2B SDK you can:

* [Read and write files to the sandbox.](/filesystem/read-write)
* [Attach custom metadata to files.](/filesystem/metadata)
* [Watch directory for changes.](/filesystem/watch)
* [Upload data to the sandbox.](/filesystem/upload)
* [Download data from the sandbox.](/filesystem/download)


# Download data from sandbox
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/filesystem/download



You can download data from the sandbox using the `files.read()` method.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import fs from 'fs'
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create()

  // Read file from sandbox
  const content = await sandbox.files.read('/path/in/sandbox')
  // Write file to local filesystem
  fs.writeFileSync('/local/path', content)
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create()

  # Read file from sandbox
  content = sandbox.files.read('/path/in/sandbox')
  # Write file to local filesystem
  with open('/local/path', 'w') as file:
    file.write(content)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Download with pre-signed URL

Sometimes, you may want to let users from unauthorized environments, like a browser, download files from the sandbox.
For this use case, you can use pre-signed URLs to let users download files securely.

All you need to do is create a sandbox with the `secure: true` option. A download URL will then be generated with a signature that allows only authorized users to access files.
You can optionally set an expiration time for the URL so that it will be valid only for a limited time.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import fs from 'fs'
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  // Start a secured sandbox (all operations must be authorized by default)
  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create(template, { secure: true })

  // Create a pre-signed URL for file download with a 10 second expiration
  const publicUrl = await sandbox.downloadUrl(
    'demo.txt', {
      useSignatureExpiration: 10_000, // optional
    },
  )

  // Download a file with a pre-signed URL (this can be used in any environment, such as a browser)
  const res = await fetch(publicUrl)
  const content = await res.text()
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  # Start a secured sandbox (all operations must be authorized by default)
  sandbox = Sandbox.create(timeout=12_000, secure=True)

  # Create a pre-signed URL for file download with a 10 second expiration
  # The user only has to visit the URL to download the file, this also works in a browser.
  signed_url = sbx.download_url(path="demo.txt", user="user", use_signature_expiration=10_000)
  ```
</CodeGroup>


# Get information about a file or directory
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/filesystem/info



You can get information about a file or directory using the `files.getInfo()` / `files.get_info()` methods. Information such as file name, type, and path is returned.

Files can also carry custom user-defined metadata, which is returned in the `metadata` field — see [Custom metadata](/filesystem/metadata).

### Getting information about a file

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create()

  // Create a new file
  await sandbox.files.write('test_file.txt', 'Hello, world!')

  // Get information about the file
  const info = await sandbox.files.getInfo('test_file.txt')

  console.log(info)
  // {
  //   name: 'test_file.txt',
  //   type: 'file',
  //   path: '/home/user/test_file.txt',
  //   size: 13,
  //   mode: 0o644, 
  //   permissions: '-rw-r--r--',
  //   owner: 'user',
  //   group: 'user',
  //   modifiedTime: '2025-05-26T12:00:00.000Z',
  //   symlinkTarget: null
  // }
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create()

  # Create a new file
  sandbox.files.write('test_file', 'Hello, world!')

  # Get information about the file
  info = sandbox.files.get_info('test_file')

  print(info)
  # EntryInfo(
  #   name='test_file.txt',
  #   type=<FileType.FILE: 'file'>,
  #   path='/home/user/test_file.txt',
  #   size=13,

  #   owner='user',
  #   group='user',
  #   modified_time='2025-05-26T12:00:00.000Z',
  #   symlink_target=None
  # )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Getting information about a directory

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create()

  // Create a new directory
  await sandbox.files.makeDir('test_dir')

  // Get information about the directory
  const info = await sandbox.files.getInfo('test_dir')

  console.log(info)
  // {
  //   name: 'test_dir',
  //   type: 'dir',
  //   path: '/home/user/test_dir',
  //   size: 0,

  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create()

  # Create a new directory
  sandbox.files.make_dir('test_dir')

  # Get information about the directory
  info = sandbox.files.get_info('test_dir')

  print(info)
  # EntryInfo(

# Attach custom metadata to files
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/filesystem/metadata

Attach custom key-value metadata to files when writing them to the sandbox and read it back with file info methods.

You can attach custom key-value metadata to files when writing them to the sandbox using the `metadata` option.
The metadata is persisted with the file and returned by `files.getInfo()` / `files.get_info()`, `files.list()`, and `files.rename()`.

## Prerequisites

Custom file metadata requires templates with envd version `v0.6.2` or above. If you are using a custom template created before envd `v0.6.2`, you need to rebuild it.

You can check the template envd version using the `e2b template list` command or by viewing the templates list on the dashboard.

## Writing a file with metadata

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create()

  const info = await sandbox.files.write('report.txt', 'hello', {
    metadata: { author: 'alice', purpose: 'demo' },
  })
  console.log(info.metadata) // { author: 'alice', purpose: 'demo' }
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create()

  info = sandbox.files.write("report.txt", "hello", metadata={"author": "alice", "purpose": "demo"})
  print(info.metadata)  # {"author": "alice", "purpose": "demo"}
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Writing multiple files with metadata

When writing multiple files, the same metadata is applied to every file in the upload.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create()

  await sandbox.files.writeFiles(
    [
      { path: 'a.txt', data: 'A' },
      { path: 'b.txt', data: 'B' },
    ],
    { metadata: { source: 'import' } }
  )
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create()

  sandbox.files.write_files(
      [
          { "path": "a.txt", "data": "A" },
          { "path": "b.txt", "data": "B" },
      ],
      metadata={"source": "import"},
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Reading metadata back

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create()

  await sandbox.files.write('report.txt', 'hello', {
    metadata: { author: 'alice' },
  })

  const info = await sandbox.files.getInfo('report.txt')
  console.log(info.metadata) // { author: 'alice' }
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create()

  sandbox.files.write("report.txt", "hello", metadata={"author": "alice"})

  info = sandbox.files.get_info("report.txt")
  print(info.metadata)  # {"author": "alice"}
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Limitations

* Metadata keys and values must be printable US-ASCII characters.
* Keys are lowercased by the sandbox, so they may differ in case when read back.
* Overwriting a file replaces its metadata — metadata from the previous write is not preserved.
* Metadata is stored as `user.e2b.*` extended attributes on the file inside the sandbox, so you can also read or set it from within the sandbox using standard tools like `getfattr` and `setfattr`.


# Read & write files

# Watch sandbox directory for changes
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/filesystem/watch



You can watch a directory for changes using the `files.watchDir()` method in JavaScript and `files.watch_dir()` method in Python.

<Note>
  Since events are tracked asynchronously, their delivery may be delayed.
  It's recommended not to collect or close watcher immediately after making a change.
</Note>

<Note>
  The SDK asks the sandbox for a keepalive ping every 50 seconds on every stream, so a stream normally stays open for more than an hour even while nothing is written. No single connection is guaranteed that long, so build your client to reconnect. See [Stream connections](/faq/sandbox-lifetime#stream-connections).
</Note>

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript highlight={7-12} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox, FilesystemEventType } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create()
  const dirname = '/home/user'

  // Start watching directory for changes
  const handle = await sandbox.files.watchDir(dirname, async (event) => {
    console.log(event)
    if (event.type === FilesystemEventType.WRITE) {
      console.log(`wrote to file ${event.name}`)
    }
  })

  // Trigger file write event
  await sandbox.files.write(`${dirname}/my-file`, 'hello')
  ```

  ```python Python highlight={7,12-16} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox, FilesystemEventType

  sandbox = Sandbox.create()
  dirname = '/home/user'

  # Watch directory for changes
  handle = sandbox.files.watch_dir(dirname)
  # Trigger file write event
  sandbox.files.write(f"{dirname}/my-file", "hello")

  # Retrieve the latest new events since the last `get_new_events()` call
  events = handle.get_new_events()
  for event in events:
    print(event)
    if event.type == FilesystemEventType.WRITE:
      print(f"wrote to file {event.name}")
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Recursive watching

You can enable recursive watching using the parameter `recursive`.

<Note>
  When rapidly creating new folders (e.g., deeply nested path of folders), events other than `CREATE` might not be emitted. To avoid this behavior, create the required folder structure in advance.
</Note>

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript highlight={13,17} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox, FilesystemEventType } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create()
  const dirname = '/home/user'

  // Start watching directory for changes
  const handle = await sandbox.files.watchDir(dirname, async (event) => {
    console.log(event)
    if (event.type === FilesystemEventType.WRITE) {
      console.log(`wrote to file ${event.name}`)
    }
  }, {
    recursive: true
  })

  // Trigger file write event
  await sandbox.files.write(`${dirname}/my-folder/my-file`, 'hello')
  ```

  ```python Python highlight={7,9} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox, FilesystemEventType

  sandbox = Sandbox.create()
  dirname = '/home/user'

  # Watch directory for changes
  handle = sandbox.files.watch_dir(dirname, recursive=True)
  # Trigger file write event
  sandbox.files.write(f"{dirname}/my-folder/my-file", "hello")

  # Retrieve the latest new events since the last `get_new_events()` call
  events = handle.get_new_events()
  for event in events:
    print(event)
    if event.type == FilesystemEventType.WRITE:
      print(f"wrote to file {event.name}")
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Including entry information

You can include information about the affected file or directory in each event using the parameter `includeEntry` in JavaScript and `include_entry` in Python.
When enabled, each event carries the entry's information — such as its path, type, and size — in the `entry` field.

<Note>
  Entry information may be unset for remove events since the path no longer exists.
  Including entry information requires templates with envd version `v0.6.3` or above — using the `includeEntry` / `include_entry` option on older sandboxes will throw an error.
</Note>

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript highlight={10} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create()
  const dirname = '/home/user'

  // Start watching directory for changes
  const handle = await sandbox.files.watchDir(dirname, async (event) => {
    console.log(event.type, event.name, event.entry?.path, event.entry?.type)
  }, {
    includeEntry: true
  })

  // Trigger file write event
  await sandbox.files.write(`${dirname}/my-file`, 'hello')
  ```

  ```python Python highlight={7,14} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create()
  dirname = '/home/user'

  # Watch directory for changes
  handle = sandbox.files.watch_dir(dirname, include_entry=True)
  # Trigger file write event
  sandbox.files.write(f"{dirname}/my-file", "hello")

  # Retrieve the latest new events since the last `get_new_events()` call
  events = handle.get_new_events()
  for event in events:
    print(event.type, event.name, event.entry.path if event.entry else None)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Watching network filesystem mounts

By default, watching paths on network filesystem mounts (NFS, CIFS, SMB, FUSE) is rejected. You can explicitly opt in using the parameter `allowNetworkMounts` in JavaScript and `allow_network_mounts` in Python.

<Note>
  Events on network mounts may be unreliable or not delivered at all, which is why the explicit opt-in is required.

  Changes made by another client outside of the sandbox (for example, a different machine writing to the same network share) are **not** propagated to the watcher — only changes made from within the sandbox are detected.
</Note>

<Note>
  Watching network mounts requires templates with envd version `v0.6.4` or above — using the `allowNetworkMounts` / `allow_network_mounts` option on older sandboxes will throw an error.
</Note>

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript highlight={10} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create()
  const dirname = '/mnt/nfs-share/my-dir'

  // Start watching a directory on a network mount for changes
  const handle = await sandbox.files.watchDir(dirname, async (event) => {
    console.log(event.type, event.name)
  }, {
    allowNetworkMounts: true
  })

  // Trigger file write event
  await sandbox.files.write(`${dirname}/my-file`, 'hello')
  ```

  ```python Python highlight={7,14} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create()
  dirname = '/mnt/nfs-share/my-dir'

  # Watch a directory on a network mount for changes
  handle = sandbox.files.watch_dir(dirname, allow_network_mounts=True)
  # Trigger file write event
  sandbox.files.write(f"{dirname}/my-file", "hello")

  # Retrieve the latest new events since the last `get_new_events()` call
  events = handle.get_new_events()
  for event in events:
    print(event.type, event.name)
  ```

# Workload identity
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/iam/workload-identity

Give sandbox workloads short-lived identity tokens instead of long-lived secrets.

Workload identity lets code running in a sandbox prove who it is with short-lived identity tokens instead of long-lived credentials.
Rather than baking cloud API keys into a template or passing them as environment variables, you define named workload tokens when creating the sandbox.
Each token is scoped to an audience, the external service that will verify it, such as AWS STS. That service can exchange the token for its own temporary credentials.

<Note>
  Workload identity is currently in private beta.
  If you'd like access, please reach out to us at [support@e2b.dev](mailto:support@e2b.dev).
</Note>

## Configure

Pass the `iam` option when creating a sandbox. A non-empty `tokens` map enables workload identity for the sandbox.
Each entry maps a token name you choose to a token definition, which you can create with the `Secret` helper.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox, Secret } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create({
    iam: {
      tokens: {
        aws: Secret.iamToken({
          audience: 'sts.amazonaws.com',
          tokenType: 'JWT-SVID',
        }),
      },
    },
  })
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox, Secret

  sandbox = Sandbox.create(
      iam={
          "tokens": {
              "aws": Secret.iam_token(
                  audience="sts.amazonaws.com",
                  token_type="JWT-SVID",
              ),
          },
      },
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

You can also pass plain token definitions instead of using the `Secret` helper: `{ audience, tokenType }` objects in JavaScript, `{"audience": ..., "token_type": ...}` dicts in Python.

## Inject tokens into egress requests

Registered tokens can be injected into the sandbox's outbound requests through [per-host request transforms](/network/internet-access#per-host-request-transforms). Pass a callback as a network rule's `transform`. It receives the registered tokens as `iam.tokens.<name>`:

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox, Secret } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create({
    iam: {
      tokens: {
        aws: Secret.iamToken({ audience: 'sts.amazonaws.com', tokenType: 'JWT-SVID' }),
      },
    },
    network: {
      // Only allow egress to hosts that have rules registered.
      allowOut: ({ rules }) => [...rules.keys()],
      // Deny all other traffic
      denyOut: ({ allTraffic }) => [allTraffic],
      rules: {
        'api.internal.example.com': [
          {
            transform: ({ iam }) => ({
              headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${iam.tokens.aws}` },
            }),
          },
        ],
      },
    },
  })
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox, Secret

  sandbox = Sandbox.create(
      iam={
          "tokens": {
              "aws": Secret.iam_token(audience="sts.amazonaws.com", token_type="JWT-SVID"),
          },
      },
      network={
          # Only allow egress to hosts that have rules registered.
          "allow_out": lambda ctx: list(ctx.rules.keys()),
          # Deny all other traffic
          "deny_out": lambda ctx: [ctx.all_traffic],
          "rules": {
              "api.internal.example.com": [
                  {
                      "transform": lambda ctx: {
                          "headers": {"Authorization": f"Bearer {ctx.iam.tokens['aws']}"},
                      },
                  },
              ],
          },
      },
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

`iam.tokens.<name>` is not the token value. It's a placeholder string (`${e2b.identity.tokens.<name>}`) that goes on the wire as-is. The egress proxy replaces it with a freshly minted token each time it forwards a matching request, so the token value never reaches your code or the sandbox.

Referencing a token name that isn't registered in `iam.tokens` fails at sandbox creation with `InvalidArgumentError` (JavaScript) / `InvalidArgumentException` (Python), listing the names that are registered. You can check whether a name is registered without failing by using `'aws' in iam.tokens` in JavaScript or `"aws" in ctx.iam.tokens` in Python.

A header value can combine token placeholders with static text and stored [secret](/secrets) markers; the egress proxy substitutes each header atomically.

## Federate with external services

External systems can verify workload identity tokens with E2B's [OpenID Connect discovery document](https://id.e2b.dev/.well-known/openid-configuration). The document identifies the issuer and the `jwks_uri` where E2B publishes its public signing keys. Verify tokens with ES256 and require the expected `iss`, `aud`, `exp`, and `nbf` claims. Also verify that the `sub` claim belongs to your project (it starts with `spiffe://id.e2b.dev/<project-id>/`), so tokens minted for other projects are rejected.

Each token identifies one sandbox execution with a SPIFFE subject in this format:

```
spiffe://id.e2b.dev/<project-id>/<sandbox-id>/<execution-id>
```

### Configure AWS IAM

AWS can exchange an E2B workload identity token with the `sts.amazonaws.com` audience for temporary role credentials.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create an OIDC identity provider">
    In the AWS IAM console, open **Identity providers**, choose **Add provider**, and select **OpenID Connect**. Use these values:

    * **Provider URL:** `https://id.e2b.dev`
    * **Audience:** `sts.amazonaws.com`

    You only need to create this provider once per AWS account. See the [AWS OIDC provider documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_roles_providers_create_oidc.html) for other setup methods.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create a role for E2B workloads">
    Create an IAM role with a custom trust policy. Replace `<AWS_ACCOUNT_ID>` and `<E2B_PROJECT_ID>` with your values:

    ```json theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
    {
      "Version": "2012-10-17",
      "Statement": [
        {
          "Sid": "E2BSandboxWorkloadIdentity",
          "Effect": "Allow",
          "Principal": {
            "Federated": "arn:aws:iam::<AWS_ACCOUNT_ID>:oidc-provider/id.e2b.dev"
          },
          "Action": "sts:AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity",
          "Condition": {
            "StringEquals": {
              "id.e2b.dev:aud": "sts.amazonaws.com"
            },
            "StringLike": {
              "id.e2b.dev:sub": "spiffe://id.e2b.dev/<E2B_PROJECT_ID>/*"
            }
          }
        }
      ]
    }
    ```

    The `sub` condition limits access to sandbox executions from one E2B project. You can find the project ID in the token's `project_id` claim and as the first path segment after `spiffe://id.e2b.dev/` in `sub`.

    Attach a permissions policy that grants only the AWS actions and resources these workloads need.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Exchange the token">
    After your external system receives the E2B workload identity token, it can exchange the token without long-lived AWS credentials:

    ```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
    aws sts assume-role-with-web-identity \
      --role-arn "$AWS_ROLE_ARN" \
      --role-session-name "$SESSION_NAME" \
      --web-identity-token "$E2B_WORKLOAD_JWT"
    ```

    The response contains temporary AWS credentials for the role. See the [`AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity` API documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/STS/latest/APIReference/API_AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity.html) for SDK examples and response details.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  AWS credentials have their own lifetime. They remain valid after the E2B workload identity token expires or the sandbox ends. Configure the shortest role session duration that fits your workload.
</Warning>

## Token definitions

Each token definition has two fields:

| Field | Description |
| - | - |
| `audience` | Required. The audience of the workload token, the identifier of the service that will verify it. Stored exactly as provided. |
| `tokenType` (JavaScript) / `token_type` (Python) | Required. The workload token type. `"JWT-SVID"` is the only type supported today. More types may be added later. |

Token names (the keys of the `tokens` map) are yours to choose.

Creating a sandbox without the `iam` option, or with an empty `tokens` map, leaves workload identity disabled.

## Limits

A sandbox can define up to **5** workload tokens. Exceeding the limit fails at sandbox creation with a `400` error.

## What is E2B?

E2B provides isolated sandboxes that let agents safely execute code, process data, and run tools. Our SDKs make it easy to start and manage these environments.

Start a sandbox and run code in a few lines:

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  npm i e2b
  ```

  ```bash Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  pip install e2b
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<CodeGroup>
  ```javascript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create() // Needs E2B_API_KEY environment variable
  const result = await sandbox.commands.run('echo "Hello from E2B Sandbox!"')
  console.log(result.stdout)
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create()  # Needs E2B_API_KEY environment variable
  result = sandbox.commands.run('echo "Hello from E2B Sandbox!"')
  print(result.stdout)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## E2B building blocks

A quick overview of the core building blocks you'll interact with when using E2B.

* [**Sandbox**](/sandbox) — A fast, secure Linux VM created on demand for your agent, which you can pause and resume as needed

* [**Template**](/template/quickstart) — Defines what environment a sandbox starts with

* [**Persistence**](/sandbox/persistence) — Pausing a sandbox saves both its filesystem and its memory, and paused sandboxes are kept indefinitely until you kill them

## How to use the docs

The documentation is split into three main sections:

* [**Quickstart**](#quickstart) — Step-by-step tutorials that walk you through creating your first E2B sandboxes.

* [**Examples**](#examples) — In-depth tutorials focused on specific use cases. Pick the topics that match what you're building.

* [**SDK Reference**](https://docs.e2b.dev/sdk-reference) — A complete technical reference for every SDK method, parameter, and configuration option.

# Bring your own proxy (BYOP)
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/network/byop

Route outbound sandbox traffic through a SOCKS5 proxy you run

<Note>
  Bring your own proxy is currently in private beta.
  If you'd like access, please reach out to us at [support@e2b.dev](mailto:support@e2b.dev).
</Note>

With Bring your own proxy (BYOP), you can route outbound TCP connections from your sandbox through a SOCKS5 proxy you operate.

Unlike [proxy tunneling](/network/ip-tunneling), nothing runs inside the sandbox. There is no custom template, no proxy client, and no in-guest configuration, so the code running in the sandbox cannot see the proxy or route around it.

Typical reasons to use it:

* Give all sandbox traffic a stable, allowlistable source IP. E2B does not offer static egress IPs on any plan, see [Egress IP ranges](/faq/egress-ip-ranges).
* Reach a corporate network, a VPN, or internal services that only accept traffic from your own network.
* Log or inspect sandbox egress in your own infrastructure.

## How it works

* **Tunneling happens on the host, after filtering.** Your allow and deny lists are evaluated first, so a connection that `denyOut` blocks never reaches your proxy. See [Internet access](/network/internet-access) for the filtering rules.
* **TCP only.** UDP based traffic, including DNS and QUIC or HTTP/3, is not tunneled. It leaves the sandbox the usual way and stays subject to your allow and deny lists.
* **Hostname destinations use remote DNS.** When a connection is allowed by a domain entry in `allowOut` and the destination is a hostname, E2B hands that hostname to your proxy (SOCKS5 `ATYP=domain`) so your proxy does the final resolution. An IP-literal destination, including a numeric HTTP `Host` value matched by `'*'`, is sent as a SOCKS5 IP address.
* **Per-host request transforms still apply.** Header injection and [workload identity](/sandbox/workload-identity) token resolution happen before the connection is dialed through your proxy.
* **The proxy hostname is re-resolved at dial time** and the resolved address is pinned for that connection, so a DNS change cannot redirect a connection that is already being established.
* **Egress fails closed.** If the proxy is unreachable, or the address does not speak SOCKS5, outbound connections from the sandbox fail instead of falling back to a direct connection. Make sure the proxy is reachable from the public internet before you point sandboxes at it.

## Configuring a proxy

Pass `network.egressProxy` / `network["egress_proxy"]` when you create the sandbox:

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create({
    network: {
      egressProxy: {
        address: 'proxy.example.com:1080',
        username: 'proxy-user',
        password: 'proxy-password',
      },
    },
  })
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create(
      network={
          "egress_proxy": {
              "address": "proxy.example.com:1080",
              "username": "proxy-user",
              "password": "proxy-password",
          },
      }
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

You can combine it with the rest of the network configuration. Here all traffic is denied except `api.example.com`, and the traffic that is allowed goes through your proxy:

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create({
    network: {
      allowOut: ['api.example.com'],
      denyOut: ({ allTraffic }) => [allTraffic],
      egressProxy: { address: 'proxy.example.com:1080' },
    },
  })
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create(
      network={
          "allow_out": ["api.example.com"],
          "deny_out": lambda ctx: [ctx.all_traffic],
          "egress_proxy": {"address": "proxy.example.com:1080"},
      }
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Using a wildcard with BYOP

Add the wildcard and deny-all entry to your proxy configuration:

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create({
    network: {
      allowOut: ['*'],
      denyOut: ['0.0.0.0/0'],
      egressProxy: { address: 'proxy.example.com:1080' },
    },
  })
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create(
      network={
          "allow_out": ["*"],
          "deny_out": ["0.0.0.0/0"],
          "egress_proxy": {"address": "proxy.example.com:1080"},
      }
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

Inside this sandbox, use ordinary requests without client-side proxy flags:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
# Through BYOP: the destination sees your proxy's egress IP
curl --max-time 10 https://api.ipify.org

# Through BYOP: destination IP 1.1.1.1, port 80
# Your proxy policy can reject this IP-literal destination
curl --max-time 10 http://1.1.1.1

# Blocked before BYOP: no TLS SNI and no IP allowance
curl --max-time 10 https://1.1.1.1
```

<Note>
  UDP DNS to `8.8.8.8:53` leaves directly, outside BYOP, because of the automatic nameserver allowance. Your proxy's policy does not apply to it. See [Catch-all wildcard](/network/internet-access#catch-all-wildcard) for filtering details.
</Note>

### Fields

| Field | Required | Description |
| - | - | - |
| `address` | yes | SOCKS5 proxy address in `host:port` form, for example `proxy.example.com:1080`. The host can be a hostname or an IP literal, and the port must be between 1 and 65535. |
| `username` | no | SOCKS5 username ([RFC 1929](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc1929)), up to 255 bytes. |
| `password` | no | SOCKS5 password, up to 255 bytes. Only valid together with `username`. |

The proxy has to be reachable from E2B's infrastructure. A hostname that does not resolve, or that resolves to a private or otherwise internal address range, is rejected at creation time, before the sandbox exists.

## Updating a running sandbox

`updateNetwork` / `update_network` sets or replaces the proxy on a sandbox that is already running, with no restart:

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create()

  // Start tunneling on the running sandbox
  await sandbox.updateNetwork({
    allowOut: ['api.example.com'],
    denyOut: ({ allTraffic }) => [allTraffic],
    egressProxy: { address: 'proxy.example.com:1080' },
  })

  // Stop tunneling: an update without egressProxy clears it
  await sandbox.updateNetwork({})
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create()

  # Start tunneling on the running sandbox
  sandbox.update_network({
      "allow_out": ["api.example.com"],
      "deny_out": lambda ctx: [ctx.all_traffic],
      "egress_proxy": {"address": "proxy.example.com:1080"},
  })

  # Stop tunneling: an update without egress_proxy clears it
  sandbox.update_network({})
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Warning>
  The update replaces the whole configuration instead of merging into it, so omitting the proxy clears it. A network update that leaves the field out stops tunneling and sends the sandbox's traffic out directly, even when the update was only meant to change the allow and deny lists. Repeat the proxy configuration in every update where you want to keep it.
</Warning>

An update that fails validation changes nothing, so the sandbox keeps tunneling through the proxy it already had.

## Reading the current configuration

The sandbox info reports the active proxy under `network`:

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  const info = await sandbox.getInfo()

  console.log(info.network?.egressProxy)
  // { address: 'proxy.example.com:1080', username: 'proxy-user' }
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  info = sandbox.get_info()

  print(info.network["egress_proxy"])
  # {'address': 'proxy.example.com:1080', 'username': 'proxy-user'}
  ```
</CodeGroup>

The password is never returned.

## Errors

An invalid proxy configuration is rejected when the sandbox is created, so a rejected create leaves nothing behind.

| Error | Cause |
| - | - |
| `Egress proxy (network.egressProxy) is not enabled for this team.` | Your team is not in the private beta yet. |
| `Invalid egress proxy config: egress proxy address must be in host:port form` | `address` is missing the port or is not in `host:port` form. |
| `Invalid egress proxy config: egress proxy port ... is not a valid 1-65535 value` | The port is out of range or not a number. |
| `Invalid egress proxy config: resolve egress proxy host ...` | The proxy hostname does not resolve. |
| `Invalid egress proxy config: egress proxy endpoint resolves to an internal / denied IP range` | The proxy address points into a private or internal range. |
| `Invalid egress proxy config: egress proxy password must be empty when username is empty` | A password was set without a username. |
| `validation error: ... maximum string length is 255` | The username or password is over the 255 byte SOCKS5 limit. This one is a schema error rather than a proxy config error, because the request is rejected before the proxy configuration is read. |

## Self-hosted deployments

BYOP is available on E2B Cloud and in [BYOC](/byoc) environments. Deployments built from the open source [e2b-dev/runtime](https://github.com/e2b-dev/runtime) repository, including [E2B Embed](https://github.com/e2b-dev/runtime/tree/main/embed#readme), cannot tunnel sandbox egress through a SOCKS5 proxy, and a sandbox that names one is rejected as unsupported by the orchestrator build.


# Custom domain
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/network/custom-domain



How to set up a custom domain for Sandboxes hosted on E2B.

We will set up a GCP VM running Caddy server with Docker and Cloudflare DNS to proxy the requests to the Sandboxes.

<Tip>
  Example: `8080-sandboxid.mydomain.com` -> `8080-sandboxid.e2b.app`
</Tip>

### Prerequisites

* Domain name registered and configured with Cloudflare DNS.
* Cloudflare API Token that allows you to manage DNS records.

### GCP VM setup

1. Create a VM instance by running the following command:

   <Note>
     Replace `your-project-id` with your actual project ID.
   </Note>

   ```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
   gcloud compute instances create e2b-custom-domain-proxy \
       --project=your-project-id \
       --zone=us-west1-a \
       --machine-type=n2-standard-2 \
       --can-ip-forward \
       --tags=http-server,https-server \
       --image-project=debian-cloud \
       --image-family=debian-12 \
       --boot-disk-size=20GB
   ```

2. After the VM is created, you can connect to it using the following command:

   <Note>
     Replace `your-project-id` with your actual project ID.
   </Note>

   ```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
   # May take a few seconds until the instance is ready to accept SSH connections
   gcloud compute ssh e2b-custom-domain-proxy \
       --project=your-project-id \
       --zone=us-west1-a
   ```

### Server setup

1. Install the latest stable version of Docker:

   ```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
   curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com | sudo sh
   ```

2. Create a Dockerfile that will be used to build the Caddy server image with Cloudflare DNS:

   ```Dockerfile Dockerfile theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
   FROM caddy:builder AS builder
   RUN xcaddy build \
       --with github.com/caddy-dns/cloudflare

   FROM caddy:latest
   COPY --from=builder /usr/bin/caddy /usr/bin/caddy
   ```

3. Create a Docker Compose file that will be used to start the Caddy server:

   ```yaml docker-compose.yml theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
   services:
       caddy:
           build:
               context: .
               dockerfile: Dockerfile
           container_name: caddy-proxy
           restart: unless-stopped
           ports:
               - "80:80"
               - "443:443"
               - "443:443/udp"  # Optional: HTTP/3
           volumes:
               - ./Caddyfile:/etc/caddy/Caddyfile
               - caddy_data:/data
               - caddy_config:/config
           environment:
               - CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN=${CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN}
           networks:
               - caddy_network

   volumes:
       caddy_data:
       caddy_config:

   networks:
       caddy_network:
           driver: bridge
   ```

4. Create a Caddyfile for proxying the requests to the Sandboxes:

   <Note>
     Replace `*.mydomain.com` with your actual wildcard domain name.
   </Note>

   ```Caddyfile Caddyfile theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
   *.mydomain.com {
       # Use Cloudflare DNS for ACME challenge
       tls {
           dns cloudflare {env.CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN}
       }

       # Capture sandboxId for reuse
       # {labels.N} splits the host by "." and indexes from right to left:
       # e.g., for "abc123.mydomain.com":
       #   {labels.0} = "com"       (TLD)
       #   {labels.1} = "mydomain"  (domain)
       #   {labels.2} = "abc123"    (subdomain)
       vars sandboxId {labels.2}

       # Reverse proxy to corresponding e2b.app Sandbox
       reverse_proxy {vars.sandboxId}.e2b.app:443 {
           # Set the Host header to the e2b.app domain
           header_up Host {vars.sandboxId}.e2b.app

           # Forward real IP
           header_up X-Real-IP {remote_host}
           header_up X-Forwarded-For {remote_host}
           header_up X-Forwarded-Proto {scheme}
           header_up X-Forwarded-Host {host}

           # Use HTTPS to upstream
           transport http {
               tls
               tls_server_name {vars.sandboxId}.e2b.app
           }
       }

       # Optional: Add logging
       log {
           output file /var/log/caddy/access.log
           format json
       }
   }
   ```

5. Create a .env file that will be used to store the Cloudflare API Token:

   ```env .env theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
   CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN=your-cloudflare-api-token
   ```

6. Build and start the Caddy server:

   ```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
   docker compose build
   docker compose up -d
   ```

### Domain setup

Log into the Cloudflare dashboard and create a new A wildcard DNS record pointing to the IP address of the GCP VM.

<Note>
  Replace `GCP_VM_IP` with the IP address of the GCP VM.
</Note>

<Note>
  It may take a few minutes for the DNS record to propagate and for the certificate to be issued.
</Note>

<Note>
  If you have existing AAAA (IPv6) records for this domain name, make sure they are either removed or updated to point to the GCP VM.
</Note>

```txt DNS theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
*.mydomain.com A GCP_VM_IP
```

### Testing the setup

We will create a new Sandbox on E2B and install a simple HTTP server in it.

1. Create a new Sandbox using [E2B CLI](/cli):

   ```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
   e2b sandbox create base
   ```

2. Install and run a simple HTTP server in the sandbox:

   ```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
   sudo apt install nginx
   sudo systemctl start nginx
   ```

3. Visit the sandbox URL in your browser: `https://80-sandboxid.mydomain.com`. You should see the default nginx welcome page.


# Internet access
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/network/internet-access

Every sandbox has outbound internet access by default. Control and restrict it with a simple on/off switch or fine-grained allow and deny lists.

Every sandbox has outbound access to the internet by default. You can control and restrict this access to fit security-sensitive workloads, from a simple on/off switch to fine-grained allow and deny lists.

To expose services running inside the sandbox to the outside world, see [Sandbox public URL](/network/public-url).

To send the traffic that is allowed through a SOCKS5 proxy you operate, see [Bring your own proxy](/network/byop).

## Controlling internet access

You can control whether a sandbox has access to the internet by using the `allowInternetAccess` / `allow_internet_access` parameter when creating a sandbox. By default, internet access is enabled, but you can disable it for security-sensitive workloads.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  // Create sandbox with internet access enabled (default)
  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create({ allowInternetAccess: true })

  // Create sandbox without internet access
  const isolatedSandbox = await Sandbox.create({ allowInternetAccess: false })
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  # Create sandbox with internet access enabled (default)
  sandbox = Sandbox.create(allow_internet_access=True)

  # Create sandbox without internet access
  isolated_sandbox = Sandbox.create(allow_internet_access=False)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

When internet access is disabled, the sandbox cannot make outbound network connections, which provides an additional layer of security for sensitive code execution.

<Note>
  Setting `allowInternetAccess` / `allow_internet_access` to a falsy value is equivalent to setting `network.denyOut` / `network.deny_out` to `['0.0.0.0/0']` (denying all traffic).
</Note>

## Fine-grained network control

For more granular control over network access, you can use the network configuration option to specify allow and deny lists for outbound traffic.

### Allow and deny lists

You can specify IP addresses, CIDR blocks, or domain names that the sandbox is allowed to use:

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  // Deny all traffic except specific IPs
  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create({
    network: {
      denyOut: ({ allTraffic }) => [allTraffic], // allTraffic === '0.0.0.0/0'
      allowOut: ['1.1.1.1', '8.8.8.0/24']
    }
  })

  // Deny specific IPs only
  const restrictedSandbox = await Sandbox.create({
    network: {
      denyOut: ['8.8.8.8']
    }
  })
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  # Deny all traffic except specific IPs
  sandbox = Sandbox.create(
      network={
          "deny_out": lambda ctx: [ctx.all_traffic],  # ctx.all_traffic == "0.0.0.0/0"
          "allow_out": ["1.1.1.1", "8.8.8.0/24"]
      }
  )

  # Deny specific IPs only
  restricted_sandbox = Sandbox.create(
      network={
          "deny_out": ["8.8.8.8"]
      }
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Note>
  The selector callback (`({ allTraffic }) => [allTraffic]` / `lambda ctx: [ctx.all_traffic]`) is the recommended way to express "all traffic" (`0.0.0.0/0`). The `ALL_TRAFFIC` constant remains exported for backward compatibility.
</Note>

### Domain-based filtering

You can allow traffic to specific domains by specifying hostnames in `allowOut` / `allow_out`. When using domain-based filtering, you must deny all other traffic in `denyOut` / `deny_out`. Domains are not supported in the deny lists.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  // Allow only traffic to google.com
  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create({
    network: {
      allowOut: ['google.com'],
      denyOut: ({ allTraffic }) => [allTraffic]
    }
  })
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  # Allow only traffic to google.com
  sandbox = Sandbox.create(
      network={
          "allow_out": ["google.com"],
          "deny_out": lambda ctx: [ctx.all_traffic]
      }
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Note>
  When any domain is used, the default nameserver `8.8.8.8` is automatically allowed to ensure proper DNS resolution.
</Note>

You can also use wildcards to allow all subdomains of a domain:

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  // Allow traffic to any subdomain of mydomain.com
  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create({
    network: {
      allowOut: ['*.mydomain.com'],
      denyOut: ({ allTraffic }) => [allTraffic]
    }
  })
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  # Allow traffic to any subdomain of mydomain.com
  sandbox = Sandbox.create(
      network={
          "allow_out": ["*.mydomain.com"],
          "deny_out": lambda ctx: [ctx.all_traffic]
      }
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

You can combine domain names with IP addresses and CIDR blocks:

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  // Allow traffic to specific domains and IPs
  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create({
    network: {
      allowOut: ['api.example.com', '*.github.com', '8.8.8.8'],
      denyOut: ({ allTraffic }) => [allTraffic]
    }
  })
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  # Allow traffic to specific domains and IPs
  sandbox = Sandbox.create(
      network={
          "allow_out": ["api.example.com", "*.github.com", "8.8.8.8"],
          "deny_out": lambda ctx: [ctx.all_traffic]
      }
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Note>
  Domain-based filtering only works for HTTP traffic on port 80 (via Host header inspection) and TLS traffic on port 443 (via SNI inspection). Traffic on other ports uses CIDR-based filtering only. UDP-based protocols like QUIC/HTTP3 are not supported for domain filtering.
</Note>

#### Catch-all wildcard

`'*'` matches HTTP `Host` values on port 80 and TLS SNI on port 443. The API requires `0.0.0.0/0` (`ALL_TRAFFIC`) in the deny list, otherwise creation returns HTTP 400.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create({
    network: {
      allowOut: ['*'],
      denyOut: ['0.0.0.0/0'],
    },
  })
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create(
      network={
          "allow_out": ["*"],
          "deny_out": ["0.0.0.0/0"],
      }
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

Inside this sandbox:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
# Allowed: TLS SNI matches the wildcard
curl --max-time 10 https://example.com

# Also allowed: a numeric HTTP Host value matches '*'
curl --max-time 10 http://1.1.1.1

# Blocked: no TLS SNI and no IP allowance
curl --max-time 10 https://1.1.1.1
```

Other ports require an IP/CIDR allowance. UDP DNS to `8.8.8.8:53` remains allowed by the automatic nameserver exception.

For proxy routing and IP-literal policies, see [Using a wildcard with BYOP](/network/byop#using-a-wildcard-with-byop).

<Warning>
  On shared infrastructure such as CDNs and object storage, allowing one hostname can also permit access to other destinations on the same endpoint. For stricter isolation, use dedicated endpoints or enforce destination restrictions through [your own proxy](/network/byop), and scope credentials and validate destinations in your application.
</Warning>

### Behavior of blocked TCP connections

Due to firewall design, blocked connections may appear successful from inside the sandbox.

The firewall has to accept the connection first before it can decide whether the destination is allowed. This means that, from inside the sandbox, a TCP connection can succeed and report the socket as open even when the destination is denied - no packets actually reach the destination.

To verify that traffic is reaching its destination, check for an application-level response (e.g. an HTTP status code, a TLS handshake, or expected protocol bytes) rather than relying on the TCP connection succeeding.

This is a limitation of how outbound traffic is currently routed from the sandbox to our firewall and may change in the future.

### Priority rules

When both allow and deny rules are specified, **allow rules always take precedence** over deny rules. This means if an IP address is in both lists, it will be allowed.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  // Even though all traffic is denied, 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8 are explicitly allowed
  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create({
    network: {
      denyOut: ({ allTraffic }) => [allTraffic],
      allowOut: ['1.1.1.1', '8.8.8.8']
    }
  })
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  # Even though all traffic is denied, 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8 are explicitly allowed
  sandbox = Sandbox.create(
      network={
          "deny_out": lambda ctx: [ctx.all_traffic],
          "allow_out": ["1.1.1.1", "8.8.8.8"]
      }
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Per-host request transforms

<Note>
  Per-host request transforms are currently in public beta. You can start using them right away, no need to request access.

  Please keep in mind that this feature is still in active development, and the features and ways of interacting with it might change during this period.

  If you have any questions or feedback, please [reach out to us](https://console.e2b.dev/?support=true). Any input is greatly appreciated.
</Note>

You can register per-host rules under `network.rules` to apply transforms (for example, inject HTTP headers) on outbound requests matching a host. Rules are keyed by host and registering one does **not** grant egress on its own — the host must still be referenced via `allowOut` / `allow_out`.

The `transform.headers` object is sent on the wire as-is and injected by the egress proxy on matching HTTPS requests. Transforms apply to intercepted TLS traffic only, so nothing is injected on plain HTTP.

Header values can also reference stored [secrets](/secrets) with `Secret.fill`. The egress proxy replaces each reference with the secret's current value outside the sandbox when it forwards a matching HTTPS request.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  await Sandbox.create({
    network: {
      // Only allow egress to hosts that have rules registered.
      allowOut: ({ rules }) => [...rules.keys()],
      // Deny all other traffic
      denyOut: ({ allTraffic }) => [allTraffic],
      // Register per-host rules
      rules: {
        'api.example.com': [
          {
            transform: {
              headers: { 'X-Header': 'Content' },
            },
          },
        ],
      },
    },
  })
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create(
      network={
          # Only allow egress to hosts that have rules registered.
          "allow_out": lambda ctx: list(ctx.rules.keys()),
          # Deny all other traffic
          "deny_out": lambda ctx: [ctx.all_traffic],
          # Register per-host rules
          "rules": {
              "api.example.com": [
                  {
                      "transform": {
                          "headers": {"X-Header": "Content"},
                      },
                  },
              ],
          },
      },
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

In JavaScript, `network.rules` accepts either a plain object or a `Map`:

```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
const rules = new Map([
  ['api.example.com', [{ transform: { headers: { 'X-Trace': 'on' } } }]],
])

await Sandbox.create({
  network: {
    allowOut: ({ rules }) => [...rules.keys()],
    denyOut: ({ allTraffic }) => [allTraffic],
    rules,
  },
})
```

#### Matching hosts

A rule key is either an exact DNS name (`api.example.com`) or a single leading wildcard label (`*.example.com`).

* One rule can transform requests to subdomains at any depth: `*.example.com` covers `api.example.com` and `a.b.example.com`.
* The apex is separate: `*.example.com` does not match `example.com`. Register the apex as its own key if you need to transform it too.
* Exact keys take precedence over wildcard keys.
* When several wildcards match, the most specific one wins, meaning the longest matching suffix.
* Exactly one rule applies per request. Matching rule sets are never merged, so a request only ever receives one rule's headers.
* Keys are stored lowercased, and two keys that differ only in case are rejected.
* A rule still requires matching `allowOut` / `allow_out` access, where wildcards work the same way.

These keys are rejected with `400: Rule domain "..." is not a valid domain name`:

* A bare `*`.
* A leading dot, such as `.example.com`.
* A host with a port, such as `example.com:443`.
* More than one wildcard label, such as `*.*.example.com` or `api.*.example.com`.

<Warning>
  Keep wildcard scopes narrow. A broad key such as `*.com` is accepted and matches every subdomain beneath it, so a credential you inject is sent to every matching TLS destination the sandbox contacts.
</Warning>

#### Limits

| Limit | Value |
| - | - |
| Domains per sandbox | 10 |
| Transform rules per domain | 1 |
| Headers per rule | 20 |
| Rule domain length | 128 characters |
| Header name length | 64 characters |
| Header value length | 2048 characters |

* A wildcard key counts as one domain, whatever it matches.
* Exceeding any limit fails the create or update call with a `400` naming the limit.
* These values are fixed and cannot be raised for an individual account.

#### Transform callbacks

A rule's `transform` can also be a callback instead of a static object. The callback receives a context with the sandbox's [workload identity](/iam/workload-identity) tokens as `iam.tokens.<name>`, letting you inject a workload token into requests to a host:

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox, Secret } from 'e2b'

  await Sandbox.create({
    iam: {
      tokens: {
        aws: Secret.iamToken({ audience: 'sts.amazonaws.com', tokenType: 'JWT-SVID' }),
      },
    },
    network: {
      allowOut: ({ rules }) => [...rules.keys()],
      denyOut: ({ allTraffic }) => [allTraffic],
      rules: {
        'api.internal.example.com': [
          {
            transform: ({ iam }) => ({
              headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${iam.tokens.aws}` },
            }),
          },
        ],
      },
    },
  })
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox, Secret

  sandbox = Sandbox.create(
      iam={
          "tokens": {
              "aws": Secret.iam_token(audience="sts.amazonaws.com", token_type="JWT-SVID"),
          },
      },
      network={
          "allow_out": lambda ctx: list(ctx.rules.keys()),
          "deny_out": lambda ctx: [ctx.all_traffic],
          "rules": {
              "api.internal.example.com": [
                  {
                      "transform": lambda ctx: {
                          "headers": {"Authorization": f"Bearer {ctx.iam.tokens['aws']}"},
                      },
                  },
              ],
          },
      },
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

The value read from `iam.tokens.<name>` is a placeholder string (`${e2b.identity.tokens.<name>}`) sent on the wire as-is. The egress proxy replaces it with a freshly minted token on each matching request, so the token value never passes through your code or the sandbox. Referencing a name that isn't registered in the sandbox's `iam.tokens` fails at creation with `InvalidArgumentError` (JavaScript) / `InvalidArgumentException` (Python).

The callback must be synchronous and return a plain transform object. A promise (from an `async` callback) or any other return value is rejected with an error. Static `transform` objects keep working unchanged, including hand-written `${e2b.identity.tokens.<name>}` strings.

See [Workload identity](/iam/workload-identity) for how to register tokens, and [Secrets](/secrets) for injecting stored secrets the same way.

### Updating network settings on a running sandbox

You can update the network configuration of an already running sandbox using `updateNetwork` (JavaScript) or `update_network` (Python). This replaces the current egress rules with the provided configuration without restarting the sandbox.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create()

  // Tighten egress on the running sandbox: block 8.8.8.8
  await sandbox.updateNetwork({
    denyOut: ['8.8.8.8'],
  })

  // Replace with an allow-list only
  await sandbox.updateNetwork({
    denyOut: ({ allTraffic }) => [allTraffic],
    allowOut: ['api.example.com'],
  })

  // Toggle internet access without recreating the sandbox
  await sandbox.updateNetwork({ allowInternetAccess: false })
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create()

  # Tighten egress on the running sandbox: block 8.8.8.8
  sandbox.update_network({"deny_out": ["8.8.8.8"]})

  # Replace with an allow-list only
  sandbox.update_network({
      "deny_out": lambda ctx: [ctx.all_traffic],
      "allow_out": ["api.example.com"],
  })

  # Toggle internet access without recreating the sandbox
  sandbox.update_network({"allow_internet_access": False})
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Note>
  `updateNetwork` / `update_network` **replaces** the current egress configuration — it does not merge with the existing rules. Calling it with an empty object (`updateNetwork({})` / `update_network({})`) clears all allow and deny rules set at create time.
</Note>

Per-host rules in `network.rules` can be changed on a running sandbox, and are replaced rather than merged like the rest of the egress configuration. An update that omits `rules` therefore clears every rule.

Create-only options such as `allowPublicTraffic` / `allow_public_traffic`, `maskRequestHost` / `mask_request_host`, and `httpsPorts` / `https_ports` cannot be changed after the sandbox is created.


# Proxy tunneling
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/network/ip-tunneling

How to tunnel Sandbox network traffic through a proxy server

<Note>
  This guide runs the proxy client inside the sandbox, which means it needs a custom template and the code in the sandbox can bypass it. If you want E2B to tunnel the sandbox's outbound traffic through your own SOCKS5 proxy with nothing running in the guest, see [Bring your own proxy](/network/byop).
</Note>

## Setting up proxy tunneling

We will set up a proxy server on a GCP VM instance running [Shadowsocks](https://shadowsocks.org) and use it to tunnel the Sandbox network traffic.
This will allow you to use a dedicated IP address for outgoing requests.

### GCP VM setup

1. Create a firewall rule to allow all tcp/udp traffic to port 8388.

   <Note>
     Replace `your-project-id` with your actual project ID.
   </Note>

   ```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
   gcloud compute firewall-rules create shadowsocks \
       --project=your-project-id \
       --direction=INGRESS \
       --priority=1000 \
       --network=default \
       --action=ALLOW \
       --rules=tcp:8388,udp:8388 \
       --source-ranges=0.0.0.0/0 \
       --target-tags=allow-shadowsocks
   ```

2. Create a VM instance with the following tags: `allow-shadowsocks`.

   <Note>
     Replace `your-project-id` with your actual project ID.
   </Note>

   ```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
   gcloud compute instances create shadowsocks-vm \
       --project=your-project-id \
       --zone=us-west1-a \
       --machine-type=n2-standard-2 \
       --can-ip-forward \
       --tags=allow-shadowsocks \
       --image-project=debian-cloud \
       --image-family=debian-12 \
       --boot-disk-size=20GB
   ```

3. After the VM is created, you can connect to it using the following command:

   <Note>
     Replace `your-project-id` with your actual project ID.
   </Note>

   ```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
   # May take a few seconds until the instance is ready to accept SSH connections
   gcloud compute ssh shadowsocks-vm \
       --project=your-project-id \
       --zone=us-west1-a
   ```

### Shadowsocks server setup (VM)

SSH into the VM and follow the instructions below to install and configure Shadowsocks.

1. Install the necessary packages, if missing:

   ```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
   sudo apt update
   sudo apt install -y wget tar
   ```

2. Download and install Shadowsocks (v1.24.0):

   ```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
   wget https://github.com/shadowsocks/shadowsocks-rust/releases/latest/download/shadowsocks-v1.24.0.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.xz
   tar -xf shadowsocks-*.tar.xz
   sudo mv ssserver ssmanager ssurl /usr/local/bin/
   ```

3. Create a shadowsocks configuration file:

   <Note>
     Replace `STRONG_PASSWORD_HERE` with your own password.
   </Note>

   ```json /etc/shadowsocks/server.json theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
   {
       "server": "0.0.0.0",
       "server_port": 8388,
       "password": "STRONG_PASSWORD_HERE",
       "method": "aes-256-gcm",
       "mode": "tcp_and_udp",
       "timeout": 300,
       "fast_open": true
   }
   ```

4. Enable IP forwarding:

   ```txt /etc/sysctl.d/99-shadowsocks.conf theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
   net.core.default_qdisc=fq
   net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control=bbr
   net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
   ```

   ```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
   sudo sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.d/99-shadowsocks.conf
   ```

   Optional: Update the Ubuntu Firewall rules to allow traffic to port 8388:

   ```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
   sudo ufw allow 8388/tcp
   sudo ufw allow 8388/udp
   ```

5. Start the Shadowsocks server:

   ```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
   sudo ssserver -c /etc/shadowsocks/server.json -v
   ```

   You should see the following in the console output:

   ```
   shadowsocks tcp server listening on 0.0.0.0:8388
   shadowsocks udp server listening on 0.0.0.0:8388
   ```

6. Optional: Create a systemd service to start the Shadowsocks server on boot:

   ```ini /etc/systemd/system/ssserver.service theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
   [Unit]
   Description=Shadowsocks Rust Server
   After=network.target

   [Service]
   ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/ssserver -c /etc/shadowsocks/server.json
   Restart=always
   LimitNOFILE=51200
   User=root

   [Install]
   WantedBy=multi-user.target
   ```

   Reload the systemd daemon and start the service:

   ```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
   sudo systemctl daemon-reload
   sudo systemctl enable --now ssserver
   ```

   You can check the status of the service with the following command:

   ```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
   sudo systemctl status ssserver
   ```

### Shadowsocks client setup (sandbox)

Create a custom Sandbox template that uses the shadowsocks client to tunnel TCP traffic through the proxy server we set up above.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Local proxy">
    Route only designated traffic through the proxy.

    1. Create a configuration file for the shadowsocks client:

       <Note>
         Replace `SERVER_IP` with the IP address of the proxy server and `STRONG_PASSWORD_HERE` with your own password.
       </Note>

       ```json config.json theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
       {
           "server": "SERVER_IP",
           "server_port": 8388,
           "password": "STRONG_PASSWORD_HERE",
           "method": "aes-256-gcm",
           "local_address": "0.0.0.0",
           "local_port": 1080,
           "mode": "tcp"
       }
       ```

    2. Create a template file (`template.ts` / `template.py`):

       <CodeGroup>
         ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
         import { Template, waitForPort } from "e2b";

         const shadowSocksVersion = "1.24.0"
         const downloadUrl = `https://github.com/shadowsocks/shadowsocks-rust/releases/latest/download/shadowsocks-v${shadowSocksVersion}.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.xz`

         export const template = Template()
             .fromBaseImage()
             .runCmd([
                 `wget ${downloadUrl}`,
                 "tar -xf shadowsocks-*.tar.xz",
                 "sudo mv sslocal /usr/local/bin/"
             ])
             .copy('config.json', 'config.json')
             .setStartCmd(
                 "sudo sslocal -c config.json --daemonize",
                 waitForPort(1080)
             )
         ```

         ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
         from e2b import Template, wait_for_port

         shadowsocks_version = "1.24.0"
         download_url = f"https://github.com/shadowsocks/shadowsocks-rust/releases/latest/download/shadowsocks-v{shadowsocks_version}.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.xz"

         template = (
             Template()
             .from_base_image()
             .run_cmd([
                 f"wget {download_url}",
                 "tar -xf shadowsocks-*.tar.xz",
                 "sudo mv sslocal /usr/local/bin/"
             ])
             .copy("config.json", "config.json")
             .set_start_cmd(
                 "sudo sslocal -c config.json --daemonize",
                 wait_for_port(1080)
             )
         )
         ```
       </CodeGroup>

    3. Create a build script (`build.ts` / `build.py`):

       <CodeGroup>
         ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
         import { Template, defaultBuildLogger } from "e2b";
         import { template as localProxyTemplate } from "./template";

         await Template.build(template, {
             alias: 'shadowsocks-client',
             memoryMB: 1024,
             cpuCount: 1,
             onBuildLogs: defaultBuildLogger()
         })
         ```

         ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
         from e2b import Template, default_build_logger
         from .template import template

         Template.build(
             template,
             alias="shadowsocks-client",
             memory_mb=1024,
             cpu_count=1,
             on_build_logs=default_build_logger()
         )
         ```
       </CodeGroup>

    4. Build the template using the build script:

       <CodeGroup>
         ```bash JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
         npx tsx build.ts
         ```

         ```bash Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
         python build.py
         ```
       </CodeGroup>
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Transparent proxy">
    Route all traffic through the proxy.

    1. Create a configuration file for the shadowsocks client:

       <Note>
         Replace `SERVER_IP` with the IP address of the proxy server and `STRONG_PASSWORD_HERE` with your own password.
       </Note>

       ```json config.json theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
       {
           "server": "SERVER_IP",
           "server_port": 8388,
           "password": "STRONG_PASSWORD_HERE",
           "method": "aes-256-gcm",
           "local_address": "0.0.0.0",
           "local_port": 1080,
           "mode": "tcp"
       }
       ```

    2. Create a script for setting up the iptables rules:

       <Note>
         Replace `SERVER_IP` with the IP address of the proxy server.
       </Note>

       ```bash iptables-rules.sh theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
       iptables -t nat -N SHADOWSOCKS
       iptables -t nat -A SHADOWSOCKS -d SERVER_IP -j RETURN
       iptables -t nat -A SHADOWSOCKS -d 0.0.0.0/8 -j RETURN
       iptables -t nat -A SHADOWSOCKS -d 127.0.0.0/8 -j RETURN
       iptables -t nat -A SHADOWSOCKS -d 169.254.0.0/16 -j RETURN
       iptables -t nat -A SHADOWSOCKS -p tcp -j REDIRECT --to-ports 12345
       iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -p tcp -j SHADOWSOCKS
       ```

    3. Create a template file (`template.ts` / `template.py`):

       <CodeGroup>
         ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}

       </CodeGroup>

    4. Create a build script (`build.ts` / `build.py`):

       <CodeGroup>
         ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
         import { Template, defaultBuildLogger } from "e2b";
         import { template as localProxyTemplate } from "./template";

         await Template.build(template, {
             alias: 'shadowsocks-client',
             memoryMB: 1024,
             cpuCount: 1,
             onBuildLogs: defaultBuildLogger()
         })
         ```

         ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
         from e2b import Template, default_build_logger
         from .template import template

         Template.build(
             template,
             alias="shadowsocks-client",
             memory_mb=1024,
             cpu_count=1,
             on_build_logs=default_build_logger()
         )
         ```
       </CodeGroup>

    5. Build the template using the build script:

       <CodeGroup>
         ```bash JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
         npx tsx build.ts
         ```

         ```bash Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
         python build.py
         ```
       </CodeGroup>
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Using the proxies

Create a new Sandbox from the built template and run a curl command to verify that the traffic is routed through the proxy:

# Sandbox public URL
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/network/public-url



Every sandbox can be reached by a public URL, which lets you expose and connect to services running inside it. This page covers how to get that URL, connect to a server inside the sandbox, and customize the `Host` header services receive.

To control the sandbox's outbound internet access, see [Internet access](/network/internet-access). To require authentication on the public URL, see [Restricting public access](/network/restrict-public-access).

<Warning>
  By default, a sandbox's public URLs are reachable by anyone who knows them. Unless you [restrict public access](/network/restrict-public-access), any service listening on a sandbox port answers requests from anyone who has the URL, including the [Code Interpreter](/code-interpreting/analyze-data-with-ai) server, which runs whatever code it receives. Treat a public URL like a credential. Anyone who obtains it, for example from a shared link, a log, or a web archive, can reach the sandbox's services while it is running or [auto-resumes on request](/sandbox/auto-resume).
</Warning>

## Sandbox public URL

Every sandbox has a public URL that can be used to access running services inside the sandbox.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript highlight={6} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create()

  // You need to always pass a port number to get the host
  const host = sandbox.getHost(3000)
  console.log(`https://${host}`)
  ```

  ```python Python highlight={6} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create()

  # You need to always pass a port number to get the host
  host = sandbox.get_host(3000)
  print(f'https://{host}')
  ```
</CodeGroup>

The code above will print something like this:

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  https://3000-i62mff4ahtrdfdkyn2esc.e2b.app
  ```

  ```bash Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  https://3000-i62mff4ahtrdfdkyn2esc.e2b.app
  ```
</CodeGroup>

The first leftmost part of the host is the port number we passed to the method.

## Connecting to a server running inside the sandbox

You can start a server inside the sandbox and connect to it using the approach above.

In this example we will start a simple HTTP server that listens on port 3000 and responds with the content of the directory where the server is started.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create()

  // Start a simple HTTP server inside the sandbox.
  const process = await sandbox.commands.run('python -m http.server 3000', { background: true })
  const host = sandbox.getHost(3000)
  const url = `https://${host}`
  console.log('Server started at:', url)

  // Fetch data from the server inside the sandbox.
  const response = await fetch(url);
  const data = await response.text();
  console.log('Response from server inside sandbox:', data);

  // Kill the server process inside the sandbox.
  await process.kill()
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import requests
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create()

  # Start a simple HTTP server inside the sandbox.
  process = sandbox.commands.run("python -m http.server 3000", background=True)
  host = sandbox.get_host(3000)
  url = f"https://{host}"
  print('Server started at:', url)

  # Fetch data from the server inside the sandbox.
  response = requests.get(url)
  data = response.text
  print('Response from server inside sandbox:', data)

  # Kill the server process inside the sandbox.
  process.kill()
  ```
</CodeGroup>

This output will look like this:

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  Server started at: https://3000-ip3nfrvajtqu5ktoxugc7.e2b.app
  Response from server inside sandbox: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

  </ul>

  </body>
  </html>
  ```

  ```bash Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  Server started at: https://3000-ip3nfrvajtqu5ktoxugc7.e2b.app
  Response from server inside sandbox: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

  <li><a href=".profile">.profile</a></li>
  </ul>
  <hr>
  </body>
  </html>
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Masking request host headers

You can customize the `Host` header that gets sent to services running inside the sandbox using the `maskRequestHost` / `mask_request_host` option. This is useful when your application expects a specific host format.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  // Create sandbox with custom host masking
  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create({
    network: {
      maskRequestHost: 'localhost:${PORT}'
    }
  })

  // The ${PORT} variable will be replaced with the actual port number
  // Requests to the sandbox will have Host header set to for example: localhost:8080
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  # Create sandbox with custom host masking
  sandbox = Sandbox.create(
      network={
          "mask_request_host": "localhost:${PORT}"
      }
  )

  # The ${PORT} variable will be replaced with the actual port number
  # Requests to the sandbox will have Host header set to for example: localhost:8080
  ```
</CodeGroup>

The `${PORT}` variable in the mask will be automatically replaced with the actual port number of the requested service.

## Connecting to HTTPS servers inside the sandbox

By default, the E2B proxy connects to the service inside the sandbox over plain HTTP. If the service listening on a port serves HTTPS (TLS) itself, list that port in the `httpsPorts` / `https_ports` option so the proxy connects to it over HTTPS instead. The public URL is HTTPS either way.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  // Port 8443 serves HTTPS inside the sandbox
  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create({
    network: {
      httpsPorts: [8443]
    }
  })

  // Generate a self-signed certificate and start an HTTPS server on port 8443
  await sandbox.commands.run(
    'openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout key.pem -out cert.pem -days 1 -nodes -subj "/CN=localhost"'
  )
  await sandbox.files.write('server.py', `
  import http.server, ssl
  server = http.server.HTTPServer(('0.0.0.0', 8443), http.server.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler)
  context = ssl.SSLContext(ssl.PROTOCOL_TLS_SERVER)
  context.load_cert_chain('cert.pem', 'key.pem')
  server.socket = context.wrap_socket(server.socket, server_side=True)
  server.serve_forever()
  `)
  await sandbox.commands.run('python3 server.py', { background: true })

  // The public URL now proxies to the HTTPS server on port 8443
  const url = `https://${sandbox.getHost(8443)}`
  const response = await fetch(url)
  console.log('Response from server inside sandbox:', await response.text())
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import requests
  from e2b import Sandbox

  # Port 8443 serves HTTPS inside the sandbox
  sandbox = Sandbox.create(
      network={
          "https_ports": [8443]
      }
  )

  # Generate a self-signed certificate and start an HTTPS server on port 8443
  sandbox.commands.run(
      'openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout key.pem -out cert.pem -days 1 -nodes -subj "/CN=localhost"'
  )
  sandbox.files.write("server.py", """
  import http.server, ssl
  server = http.server.HTTPServer(('0.0.0.0', 8443), http.server.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler)
  context = ssl.SSLContext(ssl.PROTOCOL_TLS_SERVER)
  context.load_cert_chain('cert.pem', 'key.pem')
  server.socket = context.wrap_socket(server.socket, server_side=True)
  server.serve_forever()
  """)
  sandbox.commands.run("python3 server.py", background=True)

  # The public URL now proxies to the HTTPS server on port 8443
  url = f"https://{sandbox.get_host(8443)}"
  response = requests.get(url)
  print("Response from server inside sandbox:", response.text)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

The certificate served by the sandbox is not verified, so self-signed certificates work. Ports not listed in `httpsPorts` / `https_ports` keep being proxied over plain HTTP.

<Note>
  This is not TLS passthrough. Requests to the public URL are still terminated at the E2B proxy and re-encrypted on the hop to the sandbox, so [public access restrictions](/network/restrict-public-access) and [request host masking](#masking-request-host-headers) apply to HTTPS ports as well.
</Note>

The configured ports are returned in the `network` field of the sandbox info (`getInfo()` / `get_info()`), and cannot be changed after the sandbox is created.


# Restricting public access
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/network/restrict-public-access



By default, a sandbox's [public URL](/network/public-url) is reachable by anyone who knows it. For sensitive workloads, you can require callers to authenticate with a per-sandbox token before any request reaches the services inside.

## Restricting public access to sandbox URLs

By default, sandbox URLs are publicly accessible. You can restrict access to require authentication using the `allowPublicTraffic` / `allow_public_traffic` option:

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  // Create sandbox with restricted public access
  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create({
    network: {
      allowPublicTraffic: false
    }
  })

  // The sandbox has a traffic access token
  console.log(sandbox.trafficAccessToken)

  // Start a server inside the sandbox
  await sandbox.commands.run('python -m http.server 8080', { background: true })

  const host = sandbox.getHost(8080)
  const url = `https://${host}`

  // Request without token will fail with 403
  const response1 = await fetch(url)
  console.log(response1.status) // 403

  // Request with token will succeed
  const response2 = await fetch(url, {
    headers: {
      'e2b-traffic-access-token': sandbox.trafficAccessToken
    }
  })
  console.log(response2.status) // 200
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import requests
  from e2b import Sandbox

  # Create sandbox with restricted public access
  sandbox = Sandbox.create(
      network={
          "allow_public_traffic": False
      }
  )

  # The sandbox has a traffic access token
  print(sandbox.traffic_access_token)

  # Start a server inside the sandbox
  sandbox.commands.run("python -m http.server 8080", background=True)

  host = sandbox.get_host(8080)
  url = f"https://{host}"

  # Request without token will fail with 403
  response1 = requests.get(url)
  print(response1.status_code)  # 403

  # Request with token will succeed
  response2 = requests.get(url, headers={
      'e2b-traffic-access-token': sandbox.traffic_access_token
  })
  print(response2.status_code)  # 200
  ```
</CodeGroup>

When `allowPublicTraffic` / `allow_public_traffic` is set to a falsy value, all requests to the sandbox's public URLs must include the `e2b-traffic-access-token` header with the value from `sandbox.trafficAccessToken` / `sandbox.traffic_access_token`.

## Code Interpreter sandboxes

The [Code Interpreter](/code-interpreting/analyze-data-with-ai) server listens on port `49999` and runs any code sent to it. On a sandbox with public access, anyone who has the port `49999` URL can run code in the sandbox and read its files. If you only call the sandbox through the SDK, nothing else needs that URL, so restrict public access. The Code Interpreter SDK sends the traffic access token for you, so `runCode` / `run_code` keeps working:

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from '@e2b/code-interpreter'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create({
    network: {
      allowPublicTraffic: false
    }
  })

  // The SDK sends the traffic access token automatically
  const execution = await sandbox.runCode('print(6 * 7)')
  console.log(execution.logs.stdout) // [ '42\n' ]

  // A request to the Code Interpreter port without the token fails with 403
  const response = await fetch(`https://${sandbox.getHost(49999)}/execute`, {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
    body: JSON.stringify({ code: 'print(6 * 7)' })
  })
  console.log(response.status) // 403
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import requests
  from e2b_code_interpreter import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create(
      network={
          "allow_public_traffic": False
      }
  )

  # The SDK sends the traffic access token automatically
  execution = sandbox.run_code("print(6 * 7)")
  print(execution.logs.stdout)  # ['42\n']

  # A request to the Code Interpreter port without the token fails with 403
  response = requests.post(
      f"https://{sandbox.get_host(49999)}/execute",
      json={"code": "print(6 * 7)"},
  )
  print(response.status_code)  # 403
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Running a firewall inside the sandbox

E2B already blocks every sandbox from sending outbound traffic to private and link-local address ranges. This is enforced outside the guest, applies to every sandbox, and cannot be disabled, so you do not need your own in-sandbox rules to block these ranges:

* `10.0.0.0/8`
* `100.64.0.0/10`
* `127.0.0.0/8`
* `169.254.0.0/16`
* `172.16.0.0/12`
* `192.168.0.0/16`

E2B's own control channel to the sandbox runs over an internal address in this space, and its return traffic is accepted before the deny rule is applied, which is why the platform's own connectivity keeps working. If you add your own blanket outbound drop for one of these ranges (for example `iptables -A OUTPUT -d 10.0.0.0/8 -j DROP`) without allowing established and related connections ahead of it, you will cut that control channel and the sandbox will lose contact with the SDK. During a template build this surfaces as the start command failing its readiness check.

<Warning>
  If you are using custom `iptables` or firewall rules inside a sandbox, keep E2B's own connectivity open or the sandbox will lose contact with the SDK:

  * All loopback (`lo`) traffic.
  * Inbound TCP to port `49983` (the envd control channel).
  * Inbound TCP to port `49999`, if you use the [Code Interpreter](/code-interpreting/analyze-data-with-ai) template.
  * Established and related connections, if you filter outbound traffic.
</Warning>

To restrict which public destinations a sandbox can reach, use the built-in [network configuration](/network/internet-access) (`allowInternetAccess`, `denyOut`, `allowOut`) rather than in-sandbox firewall rules.


# Running your first Sandbox

# Connect LLMs to E2B
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/quickstart/connect-llms



E2B can work with any LLM and AI framework. The easiest way to connect an LLM to E2B is to use the tool use capabilities of the LLM (sometimes known as function calling).

If the LLM doesn't support tool use, you can, for example, prompt the LLM to output code snippets and then manually extract the code snippets with [RegEx](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression).

# Install custom packages
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/quickstart/install-custom-packages



There are two ways to install custom packages in the E2B Sandbox.

1. [Create custom sandbox with preinstalled packages](#create-a-custom-sandbox).
2. [Install packages during the sandbox runtime](#install-packages-during-the-sandbox-runtime).

***

## Create a custom sandbox

Use this option if you know beforehand what packages you need in the sandbox.

<Note>
  Sandbox templates allow you to define custom sandboxes with preinstalled packages and configurations.
</Note>

### 1. Install the E2B SDK

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  npm install e2b dotenv
  ```

  ```bash Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  pip install e2b python-dotenv
  ```
</CodeGroup>

Create a `.env` file with your API key:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
E2B_API_KEY=e2b_***
```

### 2. Create a template file

Define your custom template with the packages you need.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  // template.ts
  import { Template } from 'e2b';

  export const template = Template()
    .fromTemplate("code-interpreter-v1")
    .pipInstall(['cowsay'])  // Install Python packages
    .npmInstall(['cowsay']);  // Install Node.js packages
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  # template.py
  from e2b import Template

  template = (
      Template()
      .from_template("code-interpreter-v1")
      .pip_install(['cowsay'])  # Install Python packages
      .npm_install(['cowsay'])  # Install Node.js packages
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### 3. Create a build script

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  // build.prod.ts
  import "dotenv/config";
  import { Template, defaultBuildLogger } from 'e2b';
  import { template } from './template';

  async function main() {
    await Template.build(template, 'custom-packages', {
      cpuCount: 2,
      memoryMB: 2048,
      onBuildLogs: defaultBuildLogger(),
    });
  }

  main().catch(console.error);
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  # build.prod.py
  from dotenv import load_dotenv
  from e2b import Template, default_build_logger
  from template import template

  load_dotenv()

  if __name__ == '__main__':
      Template.build(
          template,
          'custom-packages',
          cpu_count=2,
          memory_mb=2048,
          on_build_logs=default_build_logger(),
      )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### 4. Build the template

Run the build script to create your custom template:

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  npx tsx build.prod.ts
  ```

  ```bash Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  python build.prod.py
  ```
</CodeGroup>

This will build your template and you'll see build logs in the console.

### 5. Use your custom sandbox

Now you can create sandboxes from your custom template:

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sbx = await Sandbox.create("custom-packages")

  // Your packages are already installed and ready to use
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sbx = Sandbox.create("custom-packages")

  # Your packages are already installed and ready to use
  ```
</CodeGroup>

***

## Install packages during the sandbox runtime

Use this option if don't know beforehand what packages you need in the sandbox. You can install packages with the package manager of your choice.

<Note>
  The packages installed during the runtime are available only in the running sandbox instance.
  When you start a new sandbox instance, the packages are not be available.
</Note>

### 1. Install Python packages with PIP

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from '@e2b/code-interpreter'

  const sbx = await Sandbox.create()
  await sbx.commands.run('pip install cowsay') // This will install the cowsay package
  await sbx.runCode(`
    import cowsay
    cowsay.cow("Hello, world!")
  `)
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b_code_interpreter import Sandbox

  sbx = Sandbox.create()
  sbx.commands.run("pip install cowsay") # This will install the cowsay package
  sbx.run_code("""
    import cowsay
    cowsay.cow("Hello, world!")
  """)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### 2. Install Node.js packages with NPM

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from '@e2b/code-interpreter'

  const sbx = await Sandbox.create()
  await sbx.commands.run('npm install cowsay') // This will install the cowsay package
  await sbx.runCode(`
    const cowsay = require('cowsay')
    console.log(cowsay.say({ text: 'Hello, world!' }))
  `, { language: 'javascript' })
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b_code_interpreter import Sandbox

  sbx = Sandbox.create()
  sbx.commands.run("npm install cowsay") # This will install the cowsay package
  sbx.run_code("""
    import { say } from 'cowsay'
    console.log(say('Hello, world!'))
  """, language="javascript")
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### 3. Install packages with package manager of your choice

Since E2B Sandboxes are Debian based machines, you can use any package manager supported by Debian.
You just need to make sure that the package manager is already installed in the sandbox.

For example, to install `curl` and `git`, you can use the following commands:

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from '@e2b/code-interpreter'

  const sbx = await Sandbox.create()
  await sbx.commands.run('sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y curl git')
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b_code_interpreter import Sandbox

  sbx = Sandbox.create()
  sbx.commands.run("sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y curl git")
  ```
</CodeGroup>


# Upload & downloads files
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/quickstart/upload-download-files



E2B Sandbox allows you to upload and downloads file to and from the Sandbox.

An alternative way to get your data to the sandbox is to create a [custom sandbox template](/template/quickstart).

## Upload file

<CodeGroup>
  ```ts JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import fs from 'fs'
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  // Read local file relative to the current working directory
  const content = fs.readFileSync('local/file')

  const sbx = await Sandbox.create()
  // Upload file to the sandbox to absolute path '/home/user/my-file'
  await sbx.files.write('/home/user/my-file', content)
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sbx = Sandbox.create()

  # Read local file relative to the current working directory
  with open("local/file", "rb") as file:
     # Upload file to the sandbox to absolute path '/home/user/my-file'
  	sbx.files.write("/home/user/my-file", file)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Upload multiple files

To upload multiple files in one call, pass a list of `{ path, data }` entries to `files.write()` in JavaScript or to `files.write_files()` in Python. See [Upload data to sandbox](/filesystem/upload). The following example shows the other approach, with one `files.write()` call per file.

<CodeGroup>
  ```ts JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import fs from 'fs'
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  // Read local file relative to the current working directory
  const fileA = fs.readFileSync('local/file/a')
  const fileB = fs.readFileSync('local/file/b')

  const sbx = await Sandbox.create()
  // Upload file A to the sandbox to absolute path '/home/user/my-file-a'
  await sbx.files.write('/home/user/my-file-a', fileA)
  // Upload file B to the sandbox to absolute path '/home/user/my-file-b'
  await sbx.files.write('/home/user/my-file-b', fileB)
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sbx = Sandbox.create()

  # Read local file relative to the current working directory
  with open("local/file/a", "rb") as file:
     # Upload file to the sandbox to absolute path '/home/user/my-file-a'
  	sbx.files.write("/home/user/my-file-a", file)

  with open("local/file/b", "rb") as file:
     # Upload file to the sandbox to absolute path '/home/user/my-file-b'
  	sbx.files.write("/home/user/my-file-b", file)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Upload directory

We currently don't support an easy way to upload a whole directory.
You can read each file locally and pass the files in one call to `files.write()` in JavaScript or `files.write_files()` in Python. See [Upload data to sandbox](/filesystem/upload).

We're working on a better solution.

***

## Download file

To download a file, you need to first get the file's content and then write it to a local file.

<CodeGroup>
  ```ts JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import fs from 'fs'
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sbx = await Sandbox.create()
  // Download file from the sandbox to absolute path '/home/user/my-file'
  const content = await sbx.files.read('/home/user/my-file')
  // Write file to local path relative to the current working directory
  fs.writeFileSync('local/file', content)
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sbx = Sandbox.create()
  # Download file from the sandbox to absolute path '/home/user/my-file'
  content = sbx.files.read('/home/user/my-file')
  # Write file to local path relative to the current working directory
  with open('local/file', 'w') as file:
      file.write(content)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Download multiple files

To download multiple files, you need to download each one of them separately from the sandbox.

We're working on a better solution.

<CodeGroup>
  ```ts JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import fs from 'fs'
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sbx = await Sandbox.create()
  // Download file A from the sandbox by absolute path '/home/user/my-file-a'
  const contentA = await sbx.files.read('/home/user/my-file-a')
  // Write file A to local path relative to the current working directory
  fs.writeFileSync('local/file/a', contentA)

  // Download file B from the sandbox by absolute path '/home/user/my-file-b'
  const contentB = await sbx.files.read('/home/user/my-file-b')
  // Write file B to local path relative to the current working directory
  fs.writeFileSync('local/file/b', contentB)
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sbx = Sandbox.create()
  # Download file A from the sandbox by absolute path '/home/user/my-file-a'
  contentA = sbx.files.read('/home/user/my-file-a')
  # Write file A to local path relative to the current working directory
  with open('local/file/a', 'w') as file:
      file.write(contentA)

  # Download file B from the sandbox by absolute path '/home/user/my-file-b'
  contentB = sbx.files.read('/home/user/my-file-b')
  # Write file B to local path relative to the current working directory
  with open('local/file/b', 'w') as file:
      file.write(contentB)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Download directory

We currently don't support an easy way to download a whole directory.
You need to download each file separately.

We're working on a better solution.


# Sandbox lifecycle
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/sandbox

The sandbox lifecycle: create, connect to, pause, resume, and kill an isolated Linux VM for your agent, and control what happens when its timeout expires.

Sandboxes stay running as long as you need them. When their timeout expires, they can automatically pause to save resources — preserving their full state so you can resume at any time. You can also configure an explicit timeout or shut down a sandbox manually.

<Note>
  Sandboxes can run continuously for up to 24 hours (Pro) or 1 hour (Hobby). For longer workloads, use [pause and resume](/sandbox/persistence) - pausing resets the runtime window, and your sandbox's full state is preserved indefinitely.

  This limit is about the sandbox, not about a single stream to it. See [Stream connections](/faq/sandbox-lifetime#stream-connections).
</Note>

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript highlight={6} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  // Create sandbox with and keep it running for 60 seconds.
  // 🚨 Note: The units are milliseconds.
  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create({
    timeoutMs: 60_000,
  })
  ```

  ```python Python highlight={6} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  # Create sandbox with and keep it running for 60 seconds.
  # 🚨 Note: The units are seconds.
  sandbox = Sandbox.create(
    timeout=60,
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Change sandbox timeout during runtime

You can change the sandbox timeout when it's running by calling the `setTimeout` method in JavaScript or `set_timeout` method in Python.

When you call the set timeout method, the sandbox timeout will be reset to the new value that you specified.

This can be useful if you want to extend the sandbox lifetime when it's already running.
You can for example start with a sandbox with 1 minute timeout and then periodically call set timeout every time user interacts with it in your app.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  // Create sandbox with and keep it running for 60 seconds.
  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create({ timeoutMs: 60_000 })

  // Change the sandbox timeout to 30 seconds.
  // 🚨 The new timeout will be 30 seconds from now.
  await sandbox.setTimeout(30_000)
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  # Create sandbox with and keep it running for 60 seconds.
  sandbox = Sandbox.create(timeout=60)

  # Change the sandbox timeout to 30 seconds.
  # 🚨 The new timeout will be 30 seconds from now.
  sandbox.set_timeout(30)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Retrieve sandbox information

You can retrieve sandbox information like sandbox ID, template, metadata, started at/end at date by calling the `getInfo` method in JavaScript or `get_info` method in Python.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  // Create sandbox with and keep it running for 60 seconds.
  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create({ timeoutMs: 60_000 })

  // Retrieve sandbox information.
  const info = await sandbox.getInfo()

  console.log(info)

  // {
  //   sandboxId: 'iiny0783cype8gmoawzmx',
  //   templateId: 'rki5dems9wqfm4r03t7g',
  //   name: 'base',
  //   metadata: {},
  //   allowInternetAccess: undefined,
  //   envdVersion: '0.6.10',
  //   startedAt: 2026-10-04T11:21:01.301Z,
  //   endAt: 2026-10-04T11:22:01.301Z,
  //   state: 'running',
  //   cpuCount: 2,
  //   memoryMB: 512,
  //   network: undefined,
  //   lifecycle: { onTimeout: 'kill', autoResume: false },
  //   sandboxDomain: undefined,
  //   volumeMounts: []
  // }
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  # Create sandbox with and keep it running for 60 seconds.
  sandbox = Sandbox.create(timeout=60)

  # Retrieve sandbox information.
  info = sandbox.get_info()

  print(info)

  # SandboxInfo(sandbox_id='ig6f1yt6idvxkxl562scj',
  #   sandbox_domain=None,
  #   template_id='rki5dems9wqfm4r03t7g',
  #   name='base',
  #   metadata={},
  #   started_at=datetime.datetime(2026, 10, 4, 11, 21, 3, 40545, tzinfo=tzutc()),
  #   end_at=datetime.datetime(2026, 10, 4, 11, 22, 3, 40545, tzinfo=tzutc()),
  #   state=<SandboxState.RUNNING: 'running'>,
  #   cpu_count=2,
  #   memory_mb=512,
  #   envd_version='0.6.10',
  #   allow_internet_access=None,
  #   network=None,
  #   lifecycle={'on_timeout': <SandboxOnTimeout.KILL: 'kill'>, 'auto_resume': False},
  #   volume_mounts=[]
  # )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Shutdown sandbox

You can shutdown the sandbox any time even before the timeout is up by calling the `kill` method.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  // Create sandbox with and keep it running for 60 seconds.
  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create({ timeoutMs: 60_000 })

  // Shutdown the sandbox immediately.
  await sandbox.kill()
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  # Create sandbox with and keep it running for 60 seconds.
  sandbox = Sandbox.create(timeout=60)

  # Shutdown the sandbox immediately.
  sandbox.kill()
  ```
</CodeGroup>


# Auto-resume on request
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/sandbox/auto-resume

Manage sandbox lifecycle and auto-resume on activity.

Many workloads don't need a sandbox running all the time, but when they do, it should just work — whether the sandbox was paused or not.

Auto-resume handles this automatically: a paused sandbox wakes up when activity arrives, so your code doesn't have to check or manage sandbox state. Auto-resume builds on the sandbox [persistence](/sandbox/persistence) lifecycle.

## Configure

Set the `lifecycle` object when creating a sandbox to control what happens on timeout and whether paused sandboxes should auto-resume.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create({
    timeoutMs: 10 * 60 * 1000,
    lifecycle: {
      onTimeout: 'pause',
      autoResume: true, // resume when activity arrives
    },
  })
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create(
      timeout=10 * 60,
      lifecycle={
          "on_timeout": "pause",
          "auto_resume": True,  # resume when activity arrives
      },
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Lifecycle options

The `lifecycle` object accepts the following options:

| Setting | Option | Description |
| - | - | - |
| `onTimeout` (JavaScript) / `on_timeout` (Python) | `"kill"` | (default) Sandbox is terminated when timeout is reached |
| | `"pause"` | Sandbox is paused (full memory + filesystem snapshot) when timeout is reached |
| | `{ action: "pause", mode: "filesystem" }` | Filesystem-only auto-pause — drops memory so resume reboots the sandbox (Python: `{"action": "pause", "mode": "filesystem"}`; the deprecated `keepMemory: false` / `"keep_memory": False` still works). Cannot be combined with auto-resume. See [Filesystem-only snapshots](/sandbox/filesystem-only-snapshots) |
| `autoResume` (JavaScript) / `auto_resume` (Python) | `false` | (default) Paused sandboxes do not auto-resume |
| | `true` | Paused sandboxes auto-resume on activity. Valid only when `onTimeout` / `on_timeout` is `"pause"` and the snapshot keeps memory (not filesystem-only) |

If `lifecycle.autoResume` / `lifecycle.auto_resume` is falsy or unset, you can still resume a paused sandbox manually with [`Sandbox.connect()`](/sandbox/connect).

<Note>
  `onTimeout` / `on_timeout` also accepts an object form that controls what the snapshot persists via `mode`. Setting it to `"filesystem"` makes the timeout auto-pause [filesystem-only](/sandbox/filesystem-only-snapshots) — resume reboots the sandbox instead of restoring it in place. Because such a snapshot can't be woken by traffic, it can't be combined with auto-resume.
</Note>

## Timeout after auto-resume

When a sandbox auto-resumes, it restarts with a **5-minute minimum timeout**. If you originally created the sandbox with a longer timeout, that value carries over.
The countdown begins from the moment the sandbox resumes, not from when it was first created.

For example, if you create a sandbox with a 2-minute timeout:

1. The sandbox runs for 2 minutes, then pauses.
2. Activity arrives and the sandbox auto-resumes.
3. A 5-minute timeout starts (the 5-minute minimum applies because the original timeout was shorter).
4. The sandbox pauses again after 5 minutes. Running commands, reading or writing files, and requests to the sandbox's URL do not reset the timeout of a running sandbox. To extend the timeout, call `setTimeout()` / `set_timeout()`.

If you create a sandbox with a 1-hour timeout, the auto-resume timeout will also be 1 hour, since it exceeds the 5-minute minimum.

This cycle repeats every time the sandbox auto-resumes — the lifecycle configuration is persistent across pause/resume cycles.

<Note>
  You can change the timeout after the sandbox resumes by calling `setTimeout()` (JavaScript) / `set_timeout()` (Python). See [Change sandbox timeout during runtime](/sandbox#change-sandbox-timeout-during-runtime).
</Note>

## What counts as activity

Auto-resume is triggered by sandbox activity — both HTTP traffic and SDK operations.

That includes:

* `sandbox.commands.run(...)`
* `sandbox.files.read(...)`
* `sandbox.files.write(...)`
* Opening a tunneled app URL or sending requests to a service running inside the sandbox

If a sandbox is paused and `lifecycle.autoResume` (JavaScript) / `lifecycle.auto_resume` (Python) is enabled, the next supported operation resumes it automatically. You do not need to call [`Sandbox.connect()`](/sandbox/connect) first.

### SDK example: pause, then read a file

The following example writes a file, pauses the sandbox, then reads the file back. The read operation triggers an automatic resume.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create({
    timeoutMs: 10 * 60 * 1000,
    lifecycle: {
      onTimeout: 'pause',
      autoResume: true,
    },
  })

  await sandbox.files.write('/home/user/hello.txt', 'hello from a paused sandbox')
  await sandbox.pause()

  const content = await sandbox.files.read('/home/user/hello.txt')
  console.log(content)
  console.log(`State after read: ${(await sandbox.getInfo()).state}`)
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create(
      timeout=10 * 60,
      lifecycle={
          "on_timeout": "pause",
          "auto_resume": True,
      },
  )

  sandbox.files.write("/home/user/hello.txt", "hello from a paused sandbox")
  sandbox.pause()

  content = sandbox.files.read("/home/user/hello.txt")
  print(content)
  print(f"State after read: {sandbox.get_info().state}")
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Example: Web server with auto-resume

Auto-resume is especially useful for web servers and preview environments. When an HTTP request arrives at a paused sandbox, the sandbox wakes up automatically to handle it.

The following example starts a simple HTTP server and retrieves its public URL. Use [`getHost()`](/network/public-url#sandbox-public-url) (JavaScript) / [`get_host()`](/network/public-url#sandbox-public-url) (Python) to get the sandbox's publicly accessible hostname for a given port.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create({
    timeoutMs: 5 * 60 * 1000,
    lifecycle: {
      onTimeout: 'pause',
      autoResume: true,
    },
  })

  await sandbox.commands.run('python3 -m http.server 3000', { background: true })

  const host = sandbox.getHost(3000)
  // Once the sandbox times out and pauses, any request to the preview URL will automatically resume it.
  console.log(`Preview URL: https://${host}`)
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create(
      timeout=5 * 60,
      lifecycle={
          "on_timeout": "pause",
          "auto_resume": True,
      },
  )

  sandbox.commands.run("python3 -m http.server 3000", background=True)

  host = sandbox.get_host(3000)
  # Once the sandbox times out and pauses, any request to the preview URL will automatically resume it.
  print(f"Preview URL: https://{host}")
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Cleanup

Auto-resume is persistent — if your sandbox resumes and later times out again, it will pause again.
Each time the sandbox resumes, it gets a fresh timeout (at least 5 minutes, or longer if the original creation timeout exceeds that) — so the sandbox keeps cycling between running and paused as long as activity arrives.

If you call `.kill()`, the sandbox is permanently deleted and cannot be resumed.


# Connect to running sandbox
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/sandbox/connect



If you have a running sandbox, you can connect to it using the `Sandbox.connect()` method and then start controlling it with our SDK.

This is useful if you want to, for example, reuse the same sandbox instance for the same user after a short period of inactivity.

## 1. Get the sandbox ID

To connect to a running sandbox, you first need to retrieve its ID. You can do this by calling the `Sandbox.list()` method.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sbx = await Sandbox.create()

  // Get all running sandboxes
  const paginator = await Sandbox.list({
    query: { state: ['running'] },
  })

  const runningSandboxes = await paginator.nextItems()
  if (runningSandboxes.length === 0) {
    throw new Error('No running sandboxes found')
  }

  // Get the ID of the sandbox you want to connect to
  const sandboxId = runningSandboxes[0].sandboxId
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox, SandboxQuery, SandboxState

  sbx = Sandbox.create()

  # Get all running sandboxes
  paginator = Sandbox.list(
      query=SandboxQuery(state=[SandboxState.RUNNING]),
  )

  # Get the ID of the sandbox you want to connect to
  running_sandboxes = paginator.next_items()
  if len(running_sandboxes) == 0:
      raise Exception("No running sandboxes found")

  # Get the ID of the sandbox you want to connect to
  sandbox_id = running_sandboxes[0].sandbox_id
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## 2. Connect to the sandbox

Now that you have the sandbox ID, you can connect to the sandbox using the `Sandbox.connect()` method.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript highlight={3} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.connect(sandboxId)

  // Now you can use the sandbox as usual
  // ...
  const result = await sandbox.commands.run("whoami")
  console.log(`Running in sandbox ${sandbox.sandboxId} as "${result.stdout.trim()}"`)
  ```

  ```python Python highlight={3} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.connect(sandbox_id)

  # Now you can use the sandbox as usual
  # ...
  r = sandbox.commands.run("whoami")
  print(f"Running in sandbox {sandbox.sandbox_id} as \"{r.stdout.strip()}\"")
  ```
</CodeGroup>


# Environment variables
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/sandbox/environment-variables



This page covers how to set and use environment variables in a sandbox, and default environment variables inside the sandbox.

## Default environment variables

### Knowing if you are inside a sandbox

Sometimes it's useful to know if the code is running inside a sandbox. Upon creating a sandbox, useful sandbox metadata is set as environment variables for commands:

* `E2B_SANDBOX` is set to `true` for processes to know if they are inside our VM.
* `E2B_SANDBOX_ID` to know the ID of the sandbox.
* `E2B_TEMPLATE_ID` to know what template was used for the current sandbox.

You can try it out by running the following code in the sandbox:

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create()
  const result = await sandbox.commands.run('echo $E2B_SANDBOX_ID')
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  sandbox = Sandbox.create()
  result = sandbox.commands.run("echo $E2B_SANDBOX_ID")
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Note>
  These default environment variables are set for commands and terminals started through the SDK or the CLI. They are also stored as dot files in the `/run/e2b/` directory. On a recently built template, the directory looks like this:

  ```sh theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  user@e2b:~$ ls -a /run/e2b/
  .  ..  .E2B_SANDBOX  .E2B_SANDBOX_ID  .E2B_TEMPLATE_ID  certs
  ```

  Templates built with an older version of envd may not set some or all of these variables and may not have the `/run/e2b/` directory. To get these variables and the directory, rebuild the template.
</Note>

***

## Setting environment variables

There are 3 ways to set environment variables in a sandbox:

1. [Global environment variables when creating the sandbox](/sandbox/environment-variables#1-global-environment-variables).
2. [When running code in the sandbox](/sandbox/environment-variables#2-setting-environment-variables-when-running-code).
3. [When running commands in the sandbox](/sandbox/environment-variables#3-setting-environment-variables-when-running-commands).

### 1. Global environment variables

You can set global environment variables when creating a sandbox.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript highlight={2-4} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create({
    envs: {
      MY_VAR: 'my_value',
    },
  })
  ```

  ```python Python highlight={2-4} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  sandbox = Sandbox.create(
    envs={
      'MY_VAR': 'my_value',
    },
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### 2. Setting environment variables when running code

You can set environment variables for specific code execution call in the sandbox.

<Note>
  * These environment variables are scoped to the command but are not private in the OS.
  * If you had a global environment variable with the same name, it will be overridden only for the command.
</Note>

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript highlight={5-7} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from '@e2b/code-interpreter'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create()
  const result = await sandbox.runCode('import os; print(os.environ.get("MY_VAR"))', {
    envs: {
      MY_VAR: 'my_value',
    },
  })
  ```

  ```python Python highlight={6-8} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b_code_interpreter import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create()
  result = sandbox.run_code(
      'import os; print(os.environ.get("MY_VAR"))',
      envs={
          'MY_VAR': 'my_value'
      }
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### 3. Setting environment variables when running commands

You can set environment variables for specific command execution in the sandbox.

<Note>
  * These environment variables are scoped to the command but are not private in the OS.
  * If you had a global environment variable with the same name, it will be overridden only for the command.
</Note>

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript highlight={3-5} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create()
  sandbox.commands.run('echo $MY_VAR', {
    envs: {
      MY_VAR: '123',
    },
  })
  ```

  ```python Python highlight={4-6} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  sandbox = Sandbox.create()
  sandbox.commands.run(
      'echo $MY_VAR',
      envs={
          'MY_VAR': '123'
      }
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>


# Filesystem-only snapshots
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/sandbox/filesystem-only-snapshots

Persist only the sandbox filesystem for a lighter snapshot that reboots on resume.

When you [pause](/sandbox/persistence) a sandbox or [create a snapshot](/sandbox/snapshots)
from it, E2B saves a snapshot you can resume or create new sandboxes from later. By default
that snapshot includes **both the filesystem and the memory**, so resuming restores the sandbox
exactly as it was — running processes and in-memory state included.

A **filesystem-only snapshot** persists only the filesystem. There is no memory snapshot, so
resuming it, or creating a sandbox from it, **reboots** the sandbox from its disk: the files on
disk survive, but RAM and running processes do not.

You choose what a snapshot persists with the `mode` option, which is `'full'` (the default)
or `'filesystem'`. The same option exists on `pause()`, on the timeout auto-pause, and on
`createSnapshot()` / `create_snapshot()`. The type is exported as `SnapshotMode` in both SDKs.

<Note>
  `mode` is available from JavaScript SDK `e2b` 2.55.0 and Python SDK `e2b` 2.55.0. Earlier
  SDKs expose the filesystem-only pause through `keepMemory: false` (JavaScript) /
  `keep_memory=False` (Python), which keep working but are deprecated in favor of
  `mode: 'filesystem'` / `mode="filesystem"`. Passing both to the same call is rejected client-side.
</Note>

## Full vs. filesystem-only

| | Full snapshot (default) | Filesystem-only snapshot |
| - | - | - |
| Filesystem (disk) | Preserved | Preserved |
| Memory (RAM) | Preserved | **Disposed** |
| Running processes | Restored | **Terminated** (reboot) |
| In-memory state (variables, caches) | Restored | **Discarded** (reboot) |
| Resume, or create from the snapshot | Restored in place | **Reboots** from disk |
| Speed | Baseline | **Faster** |

<Note>
  Network connections to clients **outside** the sandbox drop when it pauses — in both cases — and must be re-established on resume (see [Persistence](/sandbox/persistence#network)). The in-sandbox
  difference: a full snapshot keeps the process running so it can serve again immediately, while a filesystem-only snapshot reboots, so the service must be restarted first.
</Note>

Use a filesystem-only snapshot when you only care about the data on disk and don't need running processes restored — for example, persisting a workspace's files between sessions, checkpointing build or scratch state, or producing a template that many sandboxes start from. The snapshot is smaller and faster to take because there's no memory image, at the cost of a boot when it is used.

## Create a filesystem-only snapshot

Pass `mode: 'filesystem'` (JavaScript) / `mode="filesystem"` (Python) to `createSnapshot()` /
`create_snapshot()`. The source sandbox is paused while the filesystem is captured and then
**keeps running** either way; the resulting snapshot has no memory image, so every sandbox
created from it reboots from disk.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript highlight={9} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sbx = await Sandbox.create()

  await sbx.files.write('/home/user/data.txt', 'survives in the snapshot')
  await sbx.commands.run('sleep 600', { background: true, timeoutMs: 0 })

  // Persist only the filesystem — the source keeps running
  const snapshot = await sbx.createSnapshot({ mode: 'filesystem' })

  // Sandboxes created from it reboot from disk: the file is there, the process is not
  const fresh = await Sandbox.create(snapshot.snapshotId)
  console.log(await fresh.files.read('/home/user/data.txt')) // "survives in the snapshot"
  ```

  ```python Python highlight={9} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sbx = Sandbox.create()

  sbx.files.write("/home/user/data.txt", "survives in the snapshot")
  sbx.commands.run("sleep 600", background=True, timeout=0)

  # Persist only the filesystem — the source keeps running
  snapshot = sbx.create_snapshot(mode="filesystem")

  # Sandboxes created from it reboot from disk: the file is there, the process is not
  fresh = Sandbox.create(snapshot.snapshot_id)
  print(fresh.files.read("/home/user/data.txt"))  # "survives in the snapshot"
  ```
</CodeGroup>

Omitting `mode` (or passing `'full'`) takes a full memory snapshot, as before. Everything else
about snapshots — naming, listing, deleting, creating sandboxes from them — works the same way;
see [Snapshots](/sandbox/snapshots).

### When the request is refused

If filesystem-only snapshots are not enabled for your project yet, the request is refused
before the sandbox is touched. The sandbox keeps running and no snapshot is created.

| Status | Error code | Meaning | What to do |
| - | - | - | - |
| `400` | `snapshot_filesystem_only_disabled` | Filesystem-only snapshots are not enabled for your project yet | Take a full snapshot, or ask for access at [support@e2b.dev](mailto:support@e2b.dev) |

In JavaScript this is a `SandboxError` with `statusCode` 400; in Python a `SandboxException`
with `status_code` 400. A full memory snapshot is never affected.

## Pause filesystem-only

Pass `mode: 'filesystem'` (JavaScript) / `mode="filesystem"` (Python) to `pause()`. The filesystem is saved; memory is dropped.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript highlight={6} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sbx = await Sandbox.create()

  // Save only the filesystem — resuming will reboot the sandbox
  await sbx.pause({ mode: 'filesystem' })

  // Resume: the sandbox reboots from disk (files survive, processes do not)
  const sameSbx = await sbx.connect()
  ```

  ```python Python highlight={6} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sbx = Sandbox.create()

  # Save only the filesystem — resuming will reboot the sandbox
  sbx.pause(mode="filesystem")

  # Resume: the sandbox reboots from disk (files survive, processes do not)
  same_sbx = sbx.connect()
  ```
</CodeGroup>

`mode` defaults to `'full'`, so omitting it (or calling `pause()`) takes a full memory snapshot — see [Persistence](/sandbox/persistence).

`mode` is a per-pause choice, not a sandbox-wide setting. Pausing once with `mode: 'filesystem'` (JavaScript) / `mode="filesystem"` (Python) does not lock the sandbox into filesystem-only: after you resume, the next `pause()` takes a full memory snapshot again unless you pass it once more.

The older `keepMemory: false` / `keep_memory=False` form still works and means the same as `mode: 'filesystem'` / `mode="filesystem"`; it is deprecated, and a call that passes both options is rejected with `InvalidArgumentError` / `InvalidArgumentException`.

## Auto-pause filesystem-only

You can also make the timeout-driven [auto-pause](/sandbox/persistence#auto-pause) filesystem-only. Set `onTimeout` / `on_timeout` to the object form and include `mode`:

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript highlight={5} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create({
    lifecycle: {
      onTimeout: { action: 'pause', mode: 'filesystem' },
    },
  })
  ```

  ```python Python highlight={5} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create(
      lifecycle={
          "on_timeout": {"action": "pause", "mode": "filesystem"},
      },
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

When this sandbox times out, it auto-pauses filesystem-only; the next explicit resume reboots it. See [Auto-resume on request](/sandbox/auto-resume) for the full `lifecycle` reference.

## Type safety and validation

`mode` only governs a `pause` action, so the SDK rejects nonsensical combinations:

* It cannot be set when the action is `kill`. In TypeScript this is a **compile-time type error** (the `onTimeout` object is a discriminated union on `action`); in Python it raises `InvalidArgumentException`.
* It cannot be combined with **auto-resume**. A filesystem-only snapshot can't be woken by inbound traffic (auto-resume restores the running process from memory, which a filesystem-only snapshot doesn't have), so it must be resumed explicitly with [`connect()`](/sandbox/connect). Setting `mode: 'filesystem'` / `mode="filesystem"` together with `autoResume: true` / `auto_resume=True` is rejected client-side.
* `mode` and the deprecated `keepMemory` / `keep_memory` cannot be passed together.

<Warning>
  A filesystem-only snapshot is **not** compatible with auto-resume. Resume it explicitly via `connect()` — it will not wake on traffic.
</Warning>

## What changes on resume

Resuming a filesystem-only snapshot, or creating a sandbox from one, is a reboot from disk
rather than the near-instant in-place memory restore. Any service running inside the sandbox
must be started again, and clients must reconnect.

<Note>
  Expect the boot to take several seconds. A filesystem-only snapshot is a new build that no
  node has cached yet, so the first sandboxes started from it read the root filesystem from
  storage block by block while booting. The boot also runs the template's own startup units, so a
  template whose boot is slow stays slow here.
</Note>

Because resume is a reboot, anything that lived only in memory is gone, while
everything written to disk persists. The example below writes a file and starts
a background process, pauses filesystem-only, then resumes: the file is still
there, but the process is not.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sbx = await Sandbox.create()

  await sbx.files.write('/home/user/data.txt', 'survives the reboot')
  const cmd = await sbx.commands.run('sleep 600', { background: true, timeoutMs: 0 })

  await sbx.pause({ mode: 'filesystem' })
  const resumed = await sbx.connect()

  // File on disk survives the reboot
  const content = await resumed.files.read('/home/user/data.txt')
  console.log(content) // "survives the reboot"

  // The background process is gone — the sandbox rebooted
  const check = await resumed.commands.run(`kill -0 ${cmd.pid}; echo $?`)
  console.log(check.stdout.trim() !== '0') // true — process no longer running
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sbx = Sandbox.create()

  sbx.files.write("/home/user/data.txt", "survives the reboot")
  cmd = sbx.commands.run("sleep 600", background=True, timeout=0)

  sbx.pause(mode="filesystem")
  resumed = sbx.connect()

  # File on disk survives the reboot
  content = resumed.files.read("/home/user/data.txt")
  print(content)  # "survives the reboot"

  # The background process is gone — the sandbox rebooted
  check = resumed.commands.run(f"kill -0 {cmd.pid}; echo $?")
  print(check.stdout.strip() != "0")  # True — process no longer running
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Picking up envd updates

`envd` is E2B's in-sandbox daemon. The `envd` version a sandbox runs is pinned by its
template, so by default a long-lived paused sandbox stays on that version for its whole
lifetime and does not pick up later `envd` fixes and improvements.

A filesystem-only resume reboots the sandbox from disk, and that reboot can bring the
sandbox up on a newer `envd` than its template shipped. The filesystem is untouched. This
is how a long-lived sandbox can adopt `envd` improvements - for example around memory
management, stability, and speed - without losing the data on disk.

To move an existing sandbox onto a newer `envd`:

1. Resume the sandbox.
2. Pause it filesystem-only with `mode: 'filesystem'` (JavaScript) / `mode="filesystem"` (Python).
3. Resume it again. This reboot can bring it up on a newer `envd`.

<Note>
  A sandbox has to be resumable to use this flow. A sandbox whose snapshot already fails to
  resume cannot be paused filesystem-only in the first place, so it cannot be upgraded this way.
</Note>

# Sandbox forking
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/sandbox/fork

Snapshot a running sandbox and boot new sandboxes from that exact state in a single call.

Forking lets you create running copies of a sandbox in a single call.
The sandbox is snapshotted in place — paused, captured with its full filesystem and memory state, and resumed — and new sandboxes boot from that snapshot.

Each fork is an independent sandbox with its own ID and timeout. It starts with the exact state the original had at the moment of the fork — files, running processes, loaded variables, and data — and diverges from there. The original sandbox keeps running with its ID and expiration untouched.

## Fork flow

```mermaid actions={false} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
graph LR
    A[Running Sandbox] -->|fork| B[Snapshotting]
    B --> A
    B -->|count = N| C[Fork 1]
    B --> D[Fork 2]
    B --> E[Fork N]
```

The snapshot is captured once regardless of how many forks you request, so forking into many sandboxes costs the same single snapshot of the original.

<Warning>
  During the fork, the original sandbox is paused and resumed. The pause duration scales with the amount of disk changes since the last snapshot — write-heavy workloads pause longer. The pause also causes all active connections (e.g. WebSocket, PTY, command streams) to be dropped, so make sure your client handles reconnection properly.
</Warning>

## Fork a sandbox

You can fork a running sandbox instance. The method returns a list with one entry per requested fork.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create()
  await sandbox.files.write('/home/user/state.txt', 'shared state')

  // Fork the sandbox
  const [fork] = await sandbox.fork()
  if (fork instanceof Sandbox) {
    // The fork starts with the original's files, processes, and memory
    await fork.commands.run('cat /home/user/state.txt')
  }
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create()
  sandbox.files.write('/home/user/state.txt', 'shared state')

  # Fork the sandbox
  fork, = sandbox.fork()
  if isinstance(fork, Sandbox):
      # The fork starts with the original's files, processes, and memory
      fork.commands.run('cat /home/user/state.txt')
  ```
</CodeGroup>

You can also fork by sandbox ID using the static method.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  // Fork by sandbox ID
  const forks = await Sandbox.fork(sandboxId)
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  # Fork by sandbox ID
  forks = Sandbox.fork(sandbox_id)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

You can also fork a sandbox from the terminal with the [E2B CLI](/cli/fork-sandbox). The command prints the ID of each new sandbox on its own line.

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash Terminal theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  e2b sandbox fork <sandboxID>
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Create multiple forks

Use `count` to boot several sandboxes from the same snapshot in one call. With the SDKs and the CLI you can request up to 20 forks at once. The count must also be lower than your team's concurrent sandbox limit, because the original sandbox keeps running and uses one slot.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript highlight={5} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create()

  const forks = await sandbox.fork({ count: 3 })

  for (const fork of forks) {
    if (fork instanceof Sandbox) {
      console.log('Forked sandbox:', fork.sandboxId)
    }
  }
  ```

  ```python Python highlight={5} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create()

  forks = sandbox.fork(count=3)

  for fork in forks:
      if isinstance(fork, Sandbox):
          print('Forked sandbox:', fork.sandbox_id)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Handle failed forks

Each fork succeeds or fails independently. Instead of throwing on the first failure, the returned list contains a connected sandbox for each fork that started and an error value for each fork that didn't — so a partial failure doesn't throw away the successful forks.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const results = await sandbox.fork({ count: 5 })

  const forks = results.filter((r) => r instanceof Sandbox)
  const errors = results.filter((r) => !(r instanceof Sandbox))

  for (const error of errors) {
    console.error('Fork failed:', error.message)
  }
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  results = sandbox.fork(count=5)

  forks = [r for r in results if isinstance(r, Sandbox)]
  errors = [r for r in results if not isinstance(r, Sandbox)]

  for error in errors:
      print('Fork failed:', error)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

If the request fails as a whole (for example, the sandbox does not exist), the method throws instead of returning error values.

## Fork timeout

The `timeoutMs` (JavaScript) / `timeout` (Python) option sets how long the new forked sandboxes live and defaults to 15 seconds. It applies to the forks only - the original sandbox's expiration is not changed.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const forks = await sandbox.fork({ count: 2, timeoutMs: 60_000 }) // 60 seconds
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  forks = sandbox.fork(count=2, timeout=60) # 60 seconds
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Forking vs. Snapshots

Forking is a one-call shortcut for the common snapshot pattern: capture a running sandbox and immediately boot new sandboxes from the capture.

| | Forking | Snapshots |
| - | - | - |
| Result | Running sandboxes, ready to use | A persistent snapshot ID |
| Reuse | Snapshot is used once, for this call's forks | Snapshot can spawn sandboxes any time later |
| Steps | One call | `createSnapshot()` / `create_snapshot()`, then `Sandbox.create()` per sandbox |

Use forking when you want running copies right now. Use [snapshots](/sandbox/snapshots) when you want a durable checkpoint to create sandboxes from later.


# Git integration
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/sandbox/git-integration

The sandbox.git module is deprecated. Run git through sandbox.commands.run() instead.

<Warning>
  The `sandbox.git` module is deprecated. It still works today, but it will be removed in the next major version of the JavaScript and Python SDKs. Run git through the commands module instead:

  <CodeGroup>
    ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
    // Deprecated
    await sandbox.git.clone('https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B.git', { path: 'repo' })

    // Use instead
    await sandbox.commands.run('git clone https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B.git repo')
    ```

    ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
    # Deprecated
    sandbox.git.clone("https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B.git", path="repo")

    # Use instead
    sandbox.commands.run("git clone https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B.git repo")
    ```
  </CodeGroup>

  See the [migration guide](/migration/git-deprecation) for more examples.
</Warning>

### Authentication and Identity

#### Passing credentials inline

For private repositories over HTTP(S), pass `username` and `password` (token) directly to commands that need authentication. A username is required whenever you pass a password/token.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  const repoPath = '/home/user/repo'

  await sandbox.git.push(repoPath, {
    username: process.env.GIT_USERNAME,
    password: process.env.GIT_TOKEN,
  })

  await sandbox.git.pull(repoPath, {
    username: process.env.GIT_USERNAME,
    password: process.env.GIT_TOKEN,
  })
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import os

  repo_path = "/home/user/repo"

  sandbox.git.push(
      repo_path,
      username=os.environ.get("GIT_USERNAME"),
      password=os.environ.get("GIT_TOKEN"),
  )

  sandbox.git.pull(
      repo_path,
      username=os.environ.get("GIT_USERNAME"),
      password=os.environ.get("GIT_TOKEN"),
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

#### Credential helper (authenticate once)

To avoid passing credentials on each command, store them in the git credential helper inside the sandbox using `dangerouslyAuthenticate()` / `dangerously_authenticate()`.

<Warning>
  Stores credentials on disk inside the sandbox. Any process or agent with access to the sandbox can read them. Use only when you understand the risk.
</Warning>

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  // Default (GitHub)
  await sandbox.git.dangerouslyAuthenticate({
    username: process.env.GIT_USERNAME,
    password: process.env.GIT_TOKEN,
  })

  // Custom host (self-hosted)
  await sandbox.git.dangerouslyAuthenticate({
    username: process.env.GIT_USERNAME,
    password: process.env.GIT_TOKEN,
    host: 'git.example.com',
    protocol: 'https',
  })

  // After this, HTTPS git operations use the stored credentials
  await sandbox.git.clone('https://git.example.com/org/repo.git', { path: '/home/user/repo' })
  await sandbox.git.push('/home/user/repo')
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import os

  # Default (GitHub)
  sandbox.git.dangerously_authenticate(
      username=os.environ.get("GIT_USERNAME"),
      password=os.environ.get("GIT_TOKEN"),
  )

  # Custom host (self-hosted)
  sandbox.git.dangerously_authenticate(
      username=os.environ.get("GIT_USERNAME"),
      password=os.environ.get("GIT_TOKEN"),
      host="git.example.com",
      protocol="https",
  )

  # After this, HTTPS git operations use the stored credentials
  sandbox.git.clone("https://git.example.com/org/repo.git", path="/home/user/repo")
  sandbox.git.push("/home/user/repo")
  ```
</CodeGroup>

#### Keep credentials in the remote URL

By default, credentials are stripped from the remote URL after cloning. To keep credentials in the remote URL (stored in `.git/config`), set `dangerouslyStoreCredentials` / `dangerously_store_credentials`.

<Warning>
  Storing credentials in the remote URL persists them in the repo config. Any process or agent with access to the sandbox can read them. Only use this when required.
</Warning>

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  // Default: credentials are stripped from the remote URL
  await sandbox.git.clone('https://git.example.com/org/repo.git', {
    path: '/home/user/repo',
    username: process.env.GIT_USERNAME,
    password: process.env.GIT_TOKEN,
  })

  // Keep credentials in the remote URL
  await sandbox.git.clone('https://git.example.com/org/repo.git', {
    path: '/home/user/repo',
    username: process.env.GIT_USERNAME,
    password: process.env.GIT_TOKEN,
    dangerouslyStoreCredentials: true,
  })
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import os

  # Default: credentials are stripped from the remote URL
  sandbox.git.clone(
      "https://git.example.com/org/repo.git",
      path="/home/user/repo",
      username=os.environ.get("GIT_USERNAME"),
      password=os.environ.get("GIT_TOKEN"),
  )

  # Keep credentials in the remote URL
  sandbox.git.clone(
      "https://git.example.com/org/repo.git",
      path="/home/user/repo",
      username=os.environ.get("GIT_USERNAME"),
      password=os.environ.get("GIT_TOKEN"),
      dangerously_store_credentials=True,
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

#### Configure git identity

Set the git author name and email for commits. Configure globally or per-repository.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  const repoPath = '/home/user/repo'

  // Global config
  await sandbox.git.configureUser('E2B Bot', 'bot@example.com')

  // Repo-local config
  await sandbox.git.configureUser('E2B Bot', 'bot@example.com', {
    scope: 'local',
    path: repoPath
  })
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  repo_path = "/home/user/repo"

  # Global config
  sandbox.git.configure_user("E2B Bot", "bot@example.com")

  # Repo-local config
  sandbox.git.configure_user(
      "E2B Bot",
      "bot@example.com",
      scope="local",
      path=repo_path
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Clone a repository

See [Authentication and Identity](#authentication-and-identity) for how to authenticate with private repositories.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  const repoUrl = 'https://git.example.com/org/repo.git'
  const repoPath = '/home/user/repo'

  // Default clone
  await sandbox.git.clone(repoUrl, { path: repoPath })

  // Clone a specific branch
  await sandbox.git.clone(repoUrl, { path: repoPath, branch: 'main' })

  // Shallow clone
  await sandbox.git.clone(repoUrl, { path: repoPath, depth: 1 })
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  repo_url = "https://git.example.com/org/repo.git"
  repo_path = "/home/user/repo"

  # Default clone
  sandbox.git.clone(repo_url, path=repo_path)

  # Clone a specific branch
  sandbox.git.clone(repo_url, path=repo_path, branch="main")

  # Shallow clone
  sandbox.git.clone(repo_url, path=repo_path, depth=1)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Check status and branches

`status()` returns a structured object with branch, ahead/behind, and file status details. `branches()` returns the branch list and the current branch.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  const repoPath = '/home/user/repo'

  const status = await sandbox.git.status(repoPath)
  console.log(status.currentBranch, status.ahead, status.behind)
  console.log(status.fileStatus)

  const branches = await sandbox.git.branches(repoPath)
  console.log(branches.currentBranch)
  console.log(branches.branches)
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  repo_path = "/home/user/repo"

  status = sandbox.git.status(repo_path)
  print(status.current_branch, status.ahead, status.behind)
  print(status.file_status)

  branches = sandbox.git.branches(repo_path)
  print(branches.current_branch)
  print(branches.branches)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Create and manage branches

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  const repoPath = '/home/user/repo'

  // Create and switch to a new branch
  await sandbox.git.createBranch(repoPath, 'feature/new-docs')

  // Check out an existing branch
  await sandbox.git.checkoutBranch(repoPath, 'main')

  // Delete a branch
  await sandbox.git.deleteBranch(repoPath, 'feature/old-docs')

  // Force delete a branch
  await sandbox.git.deleteBranch(repoPath, 'feature/stale-docs', { force: true })
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  repo_path = "/home/user/repo"

  # Create and switch to a new branch
  sandbox.git.create_branch(repo_path, "feature/new-docs")

  # Check out an existing branch
  sandbox.git.checkout_branch(repo_path, "main")

  # Delete a branch
  sandbox.git.delete_branch(repo_path, "feature/old-docs")

  # Force delete a branch
  sandbox.git.delete_branch(repo_path, "feature/stale-docs", force=True)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Stage and commit

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  const repoPath = '/home/user/repo'

  // After you change files, stage all changes and commit them. The default template
  // sets no git user.name or user.email, so pass an author here or set one with

  await sandbox.git.add(repoPath)
  await sandbox.git.commit(repoPath, 'Initial commit', {
    authorName: 'E2B Bot',
    authorEmail: 'bot@example.com',

  // Stage specific files
  await sandbox.git.add(repoPath, { files: ['README.md', 'src/index.ts'] })

  // Allow empty commit and override author
  await sandbox.git.commit(repoPath, 'Docs sync', {
    authorName: 'E2B Bot',
    authorEmail: 'bot@example.com',
    allowEmpty: true,
  })
  ```

# Monitor sandbox lifecycle events
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/sandbox/lifecycle-events-api



The lifecycle API provides RESTful endpoints to request the latest sandbox lifecycle events. This allows you to track when sandboxes are created, paused, resumed, updated, snapshotted, or killed, along with metadata.
All requests require authentication using your project [API key](/api-key#where-to-find-api-key).

## Retention

Sandbox lifecycle events are retained for **7 days** by default. After the retention window passes, a sandbox's events are no longer available through this API.

Query Parameters:

* `offset` (optional): Number of events to skip (default: 0, min: 0)
* `limit` (optional): Number of events to return (default: 10, min: 1, max: 100)
* `orderAsc` (optional): Sort order - true for ascending, false for descending (default: false)
* `types` (optional): Filter by event type. Can be specified multiple times to match any of the given types.

Each event's `eventData` carries the same fields as `event_data` in the [webhook payload](/sandbox/lifecycle-events-webhooks#webhook-payload), for example `kill_reason` on killed events, `pause_mode` on paused events and `resume_mode` on resumed events.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sbx = await Sandbox.create()

  // Get the latest events for a specific sandbox

  )
  const sandboxEvents = await resp1.json()

  // Get the latest 10 events for all sandboxes associated with the project
  const resp2 = await fetch(

# Sandbox lifecycle webhooks
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/sandbox/lifecycle-events-webhooks



Webhooks provide a way for notifications to be delivered to an external web server whenever certain sandbox lifecycle events occur.
This allows you to receive real-time updates about sandbox creation, updates, and termination without having to poll the API.
All webhook requests require authentication using your project [API key](/api-key#where-to-find-api-key).

## Webhook management

### Register webhook

Register a new webhook to receive sandbox lifecycle events.
The webhook will be registered for the project associated with your API key.
All events specified during webhook creation will be sent to URL provided during registration with [following payload](#webhook-payload).

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  // Register a new webhook
  const resp = await fetch(
    'https://api.e2b.app/events/webhooks',
    {
      method: 'POST',
      headers: {
        'X-API-Key': E2B_API_KEY,
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
      },
      body: JSON.stringify({
        name: 'My Sandbox Webhook',
        url: 'https://your-webhook-endpoint.com/webhook',
        enabled: true,
        events: ['sandbox.lifecycle.created', 'sandbox.lifecycle.updated', 'sandbox.lifecycle.killed'],
        signatureSecret: 'secret-for-event-signature-verification'
      }),
    }
  )

  if (resp.status === 201) {
    console.log('Webhook registered successfully')
  }
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import requests

  # Register a new webhook
  resp = requests.post(
      "https://api.e2b.app/events/webhooks",
      headers={
          "X-API-Key": E2B_API_KEY,
          "Content-Type": "application/json",
      },
      json={
          "name": "My Sandbox Webhook",
          "url": "https://your-webhook-endpoint.com/webhook",
          "enabled": True,
          "events": ["sandbox.lifecycle.created", "sandbox.lifecycle.updated", "sandbox.lifecycle.killed"],
          "signatureSecret": "secret-for-event-signature-verification"
      }
  )

  if resp.status_code == 201:
      print("Webhook registered successfully")
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### List webhooks

List all registered webhooks for your project.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}

      method: 'GET',
      headers: {
        'X-API-Key': E2B_API_KEY
      },
    },
  )

  if (resp.status === 200) {
    console.log('Webhooks listed successfully')
    console.log(await resp.json())
  }
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import requests

  # List webhooks
  resp = requests.get(
      "https://api.e2b.app/events/webhooks",
      headers={
          "X-API-Key": E2B_API_KEY
      },
  )

  if resp.status_code == 200:
      print("Webhooks listed successfully")
      print(resp.json())
  ```
</CodeGroup>

        url: 'https://your-updated-webhook-endpoint.com/webhook',
        enabled: false,
        events: ['sandbox.lifecycle.created']
      }),
    }
  )

  if (resp.status === 200) {
    console.log('Webhook updated successfully')
  }
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import requests

  # Update webhook configuration
  resp = requests.patch(
      f"https://api.e2b.app/events/webhooks/{webhookID}",

    {
      method: 'DELETE',
      headers: {
        'X-API-Key': E2B_API_KEY,
      },
    }
  )

  if (resp.status === 200) {
    console.log('Webhook deleted successfully')
  }
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import requests

  # Delete webhook configuration
  resp = requests.delete(
      f"https://api.e2b.app/events/webhooks/{webhookID}",
      headers={
          "X-API-Key": E2B_API_KEY,
      }
  )

  if resp.status_code == 200:
      print("Webhook deleted successfully")
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Webhook payload

When a webhook is triggered, your endpoint will receive a POST request with a JSON payload containing the sandbox event data.
The payload structure matches the event format from the API:

```json theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
{
  "id": "<event-id>",
  "version": "v2",
  "type": "<sandbox-event-type>",
  "timestamp": "2025-08-06T20:59:24Z",
  "event_category": "lifecycle",
  "event_label": "kill",
  "event_data": {
    "sandbox_metadata": {
      "<custom-key>": "<custom-value>"
    },
    "execution": {
      "started_at": "2025-08-06T20:58:24Z",
      "vcpu_count": 2,
      "memory_mb": 512,
      "execution_time": 1000
    },
    "kill_reason": "request"
  },
  "sandbox_id": "<your-sandbox-id>",
  "sandbox_execution_id": "<sandbox-unique-execution-id>",
  "sandbox_template_id": "<your-template-id>",
  "sandbox_build_id": "<template-build-id>",
  "sandbox_team_id": "<your-team-id>",
  "events_ttl_days": 30
}
```

`event_data.execution` contains sandbox execution details and is included on `sandbox.lifecycle.killed` and `sandbox.lifecycle.paused` events:

* `started_at` - UTC RFC3339 timestamp when the current sandbox execution started
* `vcpu_count` - Number of vCPUs assigned to the sandbox
* `memory_mb` - Memory assigned to the sandbox in MB
* `execution_time` - Sandbox runtime in milliseconds

`event_data.kill_reason` is included on `sandbox.lifecycle.killed` events and describes why the sandbox was terminated. Possible values include:

* `request` - stopped by an explicit kill request
* `timeout` - the sandbox reached its timeout
* `admin` - stopped by an E2B administrative action
* `orphaned` - the sandbox was orphaned and cleaned up
* `base_template_missing` - the sandbox's base template was unavailable
* `seal_failed` - the sandbox could not be persisted during a pause and was killed
* `resume_failed` - the sandbox failed to resume after a snapshot and was killed
* `unknown` - the reason was not recorded

`event_data.pause_mode` is included on `sandbox.lifecycle.paused` events and describes what the pause saved. The values match the `mode` option of `pause()`:

* `full` - the filesystem and the memory were saved; resuming restores the sandbox where it left off
* `filesystem` - only the filesystem was saved; resuming reboots the sandbox from disk. See [Filesystem-only snapshots](/sandbox/filesystem-only-snapshots)

The value describes the snapshot that was taken, not the one that was requested. A memory auto-pause that keeps being refused falls back to a [filesystem-only pause](/sandbox/persistence#auto-pause), and its event says `filesystem`.

`event_data.resume_mode` is included on `sandbox.lifecycle.resumed` events and describes how the sandbox started. The values match the `onResume` option of `connect()`:

* `restore` - the memory snapshot was restored, so running processes continue
* `reboot` - the sandbox booted from its saved filesystem, either because the snapshot has no memory or because it was resumed with `onResume: 'reboot'` / `on_resume="reboot"`. See [Resume without memory](/sandbox/resume-without-memory)

Events recorded before these fields were added don't include them. Treat a missing `pause_mode` or `resume_mode` as unknown, not as `full` or `restore`.

`events_ttl_days` is the number of days the event is retained and remains available through the lifecycle events API.

# Webhook verification

To ensure the authenticity of webhook requests, each request includes a signature in the `e2b-signature` header.
You can verify the signature using the signature secret you provided when registering the webhook.
This confirms that the request originated from E2B and has not been tampered with.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import * as crypto from 'node:crypto'

  function verifyWebhookSignature(secret : string, payload : string, payloadSignature : string) {
      const expectedSignatureRaw = crypto.createHash('sha256').update(secret + payload).digest('base64');
      const expectedSignature = expectedSignatureRaw.replace(/=+$/, '');
      return  expectedSignature == payloadSignature
  }

  const payloadValid = verifyWebhookSignature(secret, webhookBodyRaw, webhookSignatureHeader)
  if (payloadValid) {
      console.log("Payload signature is valid")
  } else {
      console.log("Payload signature is INVALID")
  }
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import hashlib
  import base64

  def verify_webhook_signature(secret: str, payload: str, payload_signature: str) -> bool:
      hash_bytes = hashlib.sha256((secret + payload).encode('utf-8')).digest()
      expected_signature = base64.b64encode(hash_bytes).decode('utf-8')
      expected_signature = expected_signature.rstrip('=')

      return expected_signature == payload_signature

  if verify_webhook_signature(secret, webhook_body_raw, webhook_signature_header):
      print("Payload signature is valid")
  else:
      print("Payload signature is INVALID")
  ```

  ```go Golang theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import (
      "crypto/sha256"
      "encoding/base64"
      "fmt"
      "strings"
  )

  func verifyWebhookSignature(secret, payload, payloadSignature string) bool {
      hash := sha256.Sum256([]byte(secret + payload))
      expectedSignature := base64.StdEncoding.EncodeToString(hash[:])

      expectedSignature = strings.TrimRight(expectedSignature, "=")

      return expectedSignature == payloadSignature
  }

  if verifyWebhookSignature(secret, webhookBodyString, webhookSignatureHeaderString) {
      fmt.Println("Payload signature is valid")
  } else {
      fmt.Println("Payload signature is INVALID")
  }
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Webhook request headers

When a webhook is sent, E2B adds headers to help you verify the authenticity of the request and make debugging easier.

* `e2b-webhook-id` - Webhook ID that triggered the event
* `e2b-delivery-id` - Unique ID for the delivery attempt. A new value is generated for each retry of the same event
* `e2b-signature-version` - Currently always `v1`, reserved for future use
* `e2b-signature` - Signature for verifying the request authenticity

## Delivery and retries

E2B attempts each delivery **up to 3 times in total**. A delivery attempt is treated as failed when your endpoint returns a 4xx or 5xx status code, the request times out, or it fails with a network error.

Because a delivery can be retried, the same event may be delivered more than once. Make your webhook handler idempotent and use the event `id` field in the payload to deduplicate deliveries you've already processed.

## Available event types

The following event types can be subscribed to via webhooks, they are used as the `type` field in the [payload](#webhook-payload).

* `sandbox.lifecycle.created` - Sandbox creation
* `sandbox.lifecycle.killed` - Sandbox termination
* `sandbox.lifecycle.updated` - Sandbox configuration updates
* `sandbox.lifecycle.paused` - Sandbox pausing
* `sandbox.lifecycle.resumed` - Sandbox resuming
* `sandbox.lifecycle.checkpointed` - Sandbox [snapshot](/sandbox/snapshots) created


# List sandboxes
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/sandbox/list



You can list sandboxes using the `Sandbox.list()` method.

<Note>
  Once you have information about running sandbox, you can [connect](/sandbox/connect) to it using the `Sandbox.connect()` method.
</Note>

### Listing sandboxes

The `Sandbox.list()` method supports pagination. In the [advanced pagination](/sandbox/list#advanced-pagination) section, you can find more information about pagination techniques.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript highlight={6,11,14,24-26} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create(
    {
      metadata: {
        name: 'My Sandbox',
      },
    },
  )

  const paginator = Sandbox.list()

  // Get the first page of sandboxes (running and paused)
  const firstPage = await paginator.nextItems()

  const runningSandbox = firstPage[0]

  console.log('Running sandbox metadata:', runningSandbox.metadata)
  console.log('Running sandbox id:', runningSandbox.sandboxId)
  console.log('Running sandbox started at:', runningSandbox.startedAt)
  console.log('Running sandbox template id:', runningSandbox.templateId)

  // Get the next page of sandboxes
  if (paginator.hasNext) {
    const nextPage = await paginator.nextItems()
  }
  ```

  ```python Python highlight={5,9,12,22-23} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox, SandboxInfo

  sandbox = Sandbox.create(
      metadata={
          "name": "My Sandbox",
      },
  )

  paginator = Sandbox.list()

  # Get the first page of sandboxes (running and paused)
  firstPage = paginator.next_items()

  running_sandbox = firstPage[0]

  print('Running sandbox metadata:', running_sandbox.metadata)
  print('Running sandbox id:', running_sandbox.sandbox_id)
  print('Running sandbox started at:', running_sandbox.started_at)
  print('Running sandbox template id:', running_sandbox.template_id)

  # Get the next page of sandboxes
  if paginator.has_next:
      nextPage = paginator.next_items()
  ```
</CodeGroup>

The code above will output something like this:

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  Running sandbox metadata: {name: "My Sandbox"}
  Running sandbox id: ixjj3iankaishgcge4jwn
  Running sandbox started at: 2024-10-15T21:13:07.311Z
  Running sandbox template id: 3e4rngfa34txe0gxc1zf
  ```

  ```bash Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  Running sandbox metadata: {'name': 'My Sandbox'}
  Running sandbox id: ixjj3iankaishgcge4jwn
  Running sandbox started at: 2024-10-15 21:13:07.311861+00:00
  Running sandbox template id: 3e4rngfa34txe0gxc1zf
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Filtering sandboxes

Filter sandboxes by their current state. The state parameter can contain either "**running**" for running sandboxes or "**paused**" for paused sandboxes, or both.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript highlight={9,13} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  // Create a sandbox.
  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create()

  // List sandboxes that are running or paused.
  const paginator = Sandbox.list({
    query: {
      state: ['running', 'paused'],
    },
  })

  const sandboxes = await paginator.nextItems()
  ```

  ```python Python highlight={9,14} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox, SandboxQuery, SandboxState

  # Create a sandbox with metadata.
  sandbox = Sandbox.create()

  # List sandboxes that are running or paused.
  paginator = Sandbox.list(
      query=SandboxQuery(
          state=[SandboxState.RUNNING, SandboxState.PAUSED],
      ),
  )

  # Get the first page of sandboxes (running and paused)
  sandboxes = paginator.next_items()
  ```
</CodeGroup>

Filter sandboxes by the metadata key value pairs specified during Sandbox creation.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript highlight={6-8,15,18} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  // Create sandbox with metadata.
  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create({
    metadata: {
      env: 'dev',
      app: 'my-app',
      userId: '123',
    },
  })

  // List all sandboxes that has `userId` key with value `123` and `env` key with value `dev`.
  const paginator = Sandbox.list({
    query: {
      metadata: { userId: '123', env: 'dev' },
    },
  })

  const sandboxes = await paginator.nextItems()
  ```

  ```python Python highlight={6-8,16-17} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox, SandboxQuery, SandboxState

  # Create sandbox with metadata.
  sandbox = Sandbox.create(
      metadata={
          "env": "dev",
          "app": "my-app",
          "userId": "123",
      },
  )

  # List sandboxes that have a `userId` key with value `123` and an `env` key with value `dev`.
  paginator = Sandbox.list(
      query=SandboxQuery(
          metadata={
              "userId": "123",
              "env": "dev",
          }
      ),
  )

  # Get the first page of sandboxes (running and paused)
  sandboxes = paginator.next_items()
  ```
</CodeGroup>

Filter sandboxes by the template they were created from, using a template ID or alias.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript highlight={5} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const paginator = Sandbox.list({
    query: {
      template: 'base',
    },
  })

  const sandboxes = await paginator.nextItems()
  ```

  ```python Python highlight={5} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox, SandboxQuery

  paginator = Sandbox.list(
      query=SandboxQuery(
          template="base",
      ),
  )

  sandboxes = paginator.next_items()
  ```
</CodeGroup>

Filter sandboxes by their start time. Only sandboxes started at or after the given timestamp are returned.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript highlight={5} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const paginator = Sandbox.list({
    query: {
      startedAfter: new Date('2025-01-01T00:00:00Z'),
    },
  })

  const sandboxes = await paginator.nextItems()
  ```

  ```python Python highlight={6} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from datetime import datetime, timezone
  from e2b import Sandbox, SandboxQuery

  paginator = Sandbox.list(
      query=SandboxQuery(
          started_after=datetime(2025, 1, 1, tzinfo=timezone.utc),
      ),
  )

  sandboxes = paginator.next_items()
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Sorting sandboxes

Sort sandboxes by their start time using the `order` parameter with `'asc'` or `'desc'`. The default is `'desc'` (newest first). Sorting applies to the complete result set before pagination.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript highlight={4} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const paginator = Sandbox.list({
    order: 'asc',
  })

  const sandboxes = await paginator.nextItems()
  ```

  ```python Python highlight={4} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  paginator = Sandbox.list(
      order="asc",
  )

  sandboxes = paginator.next_items()
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Advanced pagination

For more granular pagination, you can set custom per-page item limit (default and maximum is **100**) and specify an offset parameter (`nextToken` or `next_token`) to start paginating from.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript highlight={4-5,16} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const paginator = Sandbox.list({
    limit: 100,
    nextToken: '<base64-encoded-token>',
  })

  // Additional paginator properties
  // Whether there is a next page
  paginator.hasNext

  // Next page token
  paginator.nextToken

  // Fetch the next page
  await paginator.nextItems()
  ```

  ```python Python  highlight={4-5,12} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  paginator = Sandbox.list(
      limit=100,
      next_token="<base64-encoded-token>",
  )

  paginator.has_next  # Whether there is a next page
  paginator.next_token  # Next page token

  # Fetch the next page
  paginator.next_items()
  ```
</CodeGroup>

You can fetch all pages by looping through the paginator while checking if there is a next page (using `hasNext` or `has_next` property) and fetching until there are no more pages left to fetch:

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript  highlight={7} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox, type SandboxInfo } from 'e2b'

  const paginator = Sandbox.list()

  // Loop through all pages
  const sandboxes: SandboxInfo[] = []
  while (paginator.hasNext) {
    const items = await paginator.nextItems()
    sandboxes.push(...items)
  }
  ```

  ```python Python highlight={7} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox, SandboxInfo, SandboxQuery

  paginator = Sandbox.list()

  # Loop through all pages
  sandboxes: list[SandboxInfo] = []
  while paginator.has_next:
      items = paginator.next_items()
      sandboxes.extend(items)
  ```
</CodeGroup>


# Sandbox metadata
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/sandbox/metadata



Metadata is a way to attach arbitrary key-value pairs for a sandbox.

This is useful in various scenarios, for example:

* Associate a sandbox with a user session.
* Store custom user data for a sandbox like API keys.
* Associate a sandbox with a user ID and [connect to it later](/sandbox/connect).

You specify metadata when creating a sandbox and can access it later through listing running sandboxes with `Sandbox.list()` method.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript highlight={6} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  // Create sandbox with metadata.
  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create({
    metadata: {
      userId: '123',
    },
  })

  // List running sandboxes and access metadata.
  const paginator = await Sandbox.list()
  const runningSandboxes = await paginator.nextItems()
  // Will print:
  // {
  //   'userId': '123',
  // }
  console.log(runningSandboxes[0].metadata)
  ```

  ```python Python highlight={6} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  # Create sandbox with metadata.
  sandbox = Sandbox.create(
    metadata={
      'userId': '123',
    },
  )

  # List running sandboxes and access metadata.
  paginator = Sandbox.list()
  running_sandboxes = paginator.next_items()
  # Will print:
  # {
  #   'userId': '123',
  # }
  print(running_sandboxes[0].metadata)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Filtering sandboxes by metadata

You can also filter sandboxes by metadata, you can find more about it [here](/sandbox/list#filtering-sandboxes).


# Sandbox metrics
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/sandbox/metrics



The sandbox metrics allows you to get information about the sandbox's CPU, memory and disk usage.

## Getting sandbox metrics

Getting the metrics of a sandbox returns an array of timestamped metrics containing CPU, memory and disk usage information.
The metrics are collected every 5 seconds.

### Getting sandbox metrics using the SDKs

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript highlight={9} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sbx = await Sandbox.create()
  console.log('Sandbox created', sbx.sandboxId)

  // Wait for a few seconds to collect some metrics
  await new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, 10_000))

  const metrics = await sbx.getMetrics()

  // You can also get the metrics by sandbox ID:
  // const metrics = await Sandbox.getMetrics(sbx.sandboxId)

  console.log('Sandbox metrics:', metrics)

  // Sandbox metrics:
  // [
  //   {
  //     timestamp: 2025-07-28T08:04:05.000Z,
  //     cpuUsedPct: 20.33,
  //     cpuCount: 2,
  //     memUsed: 32681984,  // in bytes
  //     memTotal: 507592704,  // in bytes
  //     memCache: 73539584,  // in bytes
  //     diskUsed: 1514856448,  // in bytes

  //     diskTotal: 2573185024  // in bytes
  //   }
  // ]
  ```

  ```python Python highlight={10} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from time import sleep
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sbx = Sandbox.create()
  print('Sandbox created', sbx.sandbox_id)

  # Wait for a few seconds to collect some metrics
  sleep(10)

  metrics = sbx.get_metrics()

  # You can also get the metrics by sandbox ID:
  # metrics = Sandbox.get_metrics(sbx.sandbox_id)

  print('Sandbox metrics', metrics) 

  # Sandbox metrics

  #     ),
  # ]
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Getting sandbox metrics using the CLI

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash Terminal highlight={1} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  e2b sandbox metrics <sandbox_id> 

  # Metrics for sandbox <sandbox_id>:
  # 
  # [2025-07-25 14:05:55Z]  CPU:  8.27% /  2 Cores | Memory:    31 / 484   MiB | Disk:  1445 / 2453  MiB
  # [2025-07-25 14:06:00Z]  CPU:   0.5% /  2 Cores | Memory:    32 / 484   MiB | Disk:  1445 / 2453  MiB
  # [2025-07-25 14:06:05Z]  CPU:   0.1% /  2 Cores | Memory:    32 / 484   MiB | Disk:  1445 / 2453  MiB
  # [2025-07-25 14:06:10Z]  CPU:   0.3% /  2 Cores | Memory:    32 / 484   MiB | Disk:  1445 / 2453  MiB
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Note>
  It may take a second or more to get the first metrics after the sandbox is created. Until the first metrics are collected from the sandbox, you will get an empty array.

# OTel telemetry export
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/sandbox/otel-telemetry-export



<EnterpriseBanner />

E2B can export OpenTelemetry (OTel) metrics and logs to any OpenTelemetry-compatible destination with an OTLP HTTP endpoint.
This lets you integrate E2B telemetry with your existing monitoring and observability stack.

## Exported telemetry

Exported telemetry mirrors the metrics and logs available in the E2B dashboard.

### Metrics

E2B sends the following metrics to your endpoint. Each metric retains its name.

* `e2b.sandbox.cpu.used` (`Gauge`) — CPU usage as a percentage.
* `e2b.sandbox.cpu.total` (`Gauge`) — vCPUs allocated to the sandbox.
* `e2b.sandbox.ram.used` (`Gauge`) — memory used, in bytes.
* `e2b.sandbox.ram.total` (`Gauge`) — memory available, in bytes.
* `e2b.sandbox.ram.cache` (`Gauge`) — memory used by the page cache, in bytes.
* `e2b.sandbox.disk.used` (`Gauge`) — disk space used, in bytes.
* `e2b.sandbox.disk.total` (`Gauge`) — disk space available, in bytes.
* `e2b.team.sandbox.created` (`Counter`) — sandboxes started for the team.
* `e2b.team.sandbox.running` (`Gauge`) — number of sandboxes currently running for the team.

Each sandbox metric includes the `sandbox_id`, `team_id`, `build_id`, and `sandbox_type` attributes. Each team metric includes `team_id`.

### Logs

Logs include `service_name: e2b`. They include sandbox lifecycle events, such as sandbox start and stop events, along with other sandbox actions. These logs help you correlate sandbox activity with application behavior and infrastructure events.

E2B sends telemetry using OTLP over HTTP/protobuf. Your endpoint should accept OTLP HTTP metrics and logs traffic, such as `/v1/metrics` and `/v1/logs` paths on an OpenTelemetry Collector.

Refer to your provider's documentation for specific OTLP endpoint details and authentication requirements.

## Setup

During onboarding, provide E2B with the endpoint details for your OTel collector or observability backend:

* OTLP HTTP endpoint URL
* Authentication requirements, such as static headers or bearer tokens

For BYOC deployments, E2B can configure telemetry export from your BYOC environment to your own collector or backend.

## Delivery behavior

Telemetry export is best effort. E2B tries to send metrics and logs continuously and retries whenever possible.

If your endpoint is unavailable, unreachable, or rejects telemetry, some metrics or logs may be delayed or dropped.

## Confirm telemetry delivery

After E2B enables the export, start one or more sandboxes and wait a few minutes for telemetry to reach your destination.

In your collector or observability backend, confirm that:

* Metrics are emitted under the `e2b.*` namespace.
* Logs include `service_name: e2b`.

You can compare the received telemetry with the metrics and logs shown in the E2B dashboard.

If telemetry does not appear, verify the OTLP endpoint URL, authentication headers, and any networking requirements such as allowlists or private connectivity.


# Sandbox persistence
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/sandbox/persistence

Pause a sandbox and resume it later from the exact state it was in, including the filesystem and the memory, so running processes and loaded variables survive. A paused sandbox is kept indefinitely with no automatic deletion.

The sandbox persistence allows you to pause your sandbox and resume it later from the same state it was in when you paused it.

This includes not only state of the sandbox's filesystem but also the sandbox's memory. This means all running processes, loaded variables, data, etc.

A paused sandbox is kept **indefinitely**. There is no time-to-live and no automatic deletion, and E2B never kills a paused sandbox on its own. It is removed only when you explicitly kill it. See [How long does a sandbox live?](/faq/sandbox-lifetime).

## Sandbox state transitions

Understanding how sandboxes transition between different states is crucial for managing their lifecycle effectively. Here's a diagram showing the possible state transitions:

```mermaid actions={false} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
flowchart TD
    start(( )) -->|Sandbox.create| Running

    Running["<b>Running</b><br/>• Active execution<br/>• Consumes resources"]
    Paused["<b>Paused</b><br/>• Preserves memory and files<br/>• Cannot execute code"]
    Snapshotting["<b>Snapshotting</b><br/>• Creates persistent snapshot<br/>• Briefly pauses execution"]
    Killed["<b>Killed</b><br/>• Resources released<br/>• Cannot be resumed"]

    Running -->|pause| Paused
    Running -->|createSnapshot| Snapshotting
    Paused -->|connect| Running
    Snapshotting -->|snapshot complete| Running
    Running -->|kill| Killed
    Paused -->|kill| Killed
```

### State descriptions

* **Running**: The sandbox is actively running and can execute code. This is the initial state after creation.
* **Paused**: The sandbox execution is suspended but its state is preserved.
* **Snapshotting**: The sandbox is briefly paused while a persistent snapshot is being created. It automatically returns to Running. See [Snapshots](/sandbox/snapshots).
* **Killed**: The sandbox is terminated and all resources are released. This is a terminal state.

### Changing sandbox's state

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create() // Starts in Running state

  // Pause the sandbox
  await sandbox.pause() // Running → Paused

  // Resume the sandbox
  await sandbox.connect() // Running/Paused → Running

  // Kill the sandbox (from any state)
  await sandbox.kill() // Running/Paused → Killed
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create()  # Starts in Running state

  # Pause the sandbox
  sandbox.pause()  # Running → Paused

  # Resume the sandbox
  sandbox.connect()  # Running/Paused → Running

  # Kill the sandbox (from any state)
  sandbox.kill()  # Running/Paused → Killed
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Pausing sandbox

When you pause a sandbox, both the sandbox's filesystem and memory state will be saved. This includes all the files in the sandbox's filesystem and all the running processes, loaded variables, data, etc.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript highlight={8-9} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sbx = await Sandbox.create()
  console.log('Sandbox created', sbx.sandboxId)

  // Pause the sandbox
  // You can save the sandbox ID in your database to resume the sandbox later
  await sbx.pause()
  console.log('Sandbox paused', sbx.sandboxId)
  ```

  ```python Python highlight={8-9} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sbx = Sandbox.create()
  print('Sandbox created', sbx.sandbox_id)

  # Pause the sandbox
  # You can save the sandbox ID in your database to resume the sandbox later
  sbx.pause()
  print('Sandbox paused', sbx.sandbox_id) 
  ```
</CodeGroup>

By default a pause saves **both** the filesystem and the memory. To save only the filesystem — a lighter snapshot that reboots on resume — pass `mode: 'filesystem'` (JavaScript) / `mode="filesystem"` (Python). The older `keepMemory: false` / `keep_memory=False` form is deprecated but still works. See [Filesystem-only snapshots](/sandbox/filesystem-only-snapshots).

### When a pause is refused

<Info>
  Rolling out. The refusal behavior below is being enabled region by region. Until it reaches your region, a pause in this situation fails with a `500` error instead. `ServiceBusyError` and `ServiceBusyException` are available in the JavaScript and Python SDKs (the `e2b` package) starting with version `2.48.0`.
</Info>

A pause can be refused when the node running the sandbox is still finishing the previous snapshot of the same sandbox. Instead of failing the sandbox, the API answers with HTTP `503` and the sandbox **keeps running with its state intact**. Nothing was paused and nothing was lost. The SDKs surface this as `ServiceBusyError` (JavaScript) / `ServiceBusyException` (Python), the same error every other 503 from the API raises, for example when there is no capacity to place a new sandbox.

The right reaction is to retry the pause after a short wait, or simply to keep using the sandbox and pause it later:

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript highlight={7-12} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox, ServiceBusyError } from 'e2b'

  const sbx = await Sandbox.create()

  try {
    await sbx.pause()
  } catch (error) {
    if (error instanceof ServiceBusyError) {
      // The sandbox is still running; try again in a few seconds
      await new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, 5_000))
      await sbx.pause()
    } else {
      throw error
    }
  }
  ```

  ```python Python highlight={8-11} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import time
  from e2b import Sandbox, ServiceBusyException

  sbx = Sandbox.create()

  try:
      sbx.pause()
  except ServiceBusyException:
      # The sandbox is still running; try again in a few seconds
      time.sleep(5)
      sbx.pause()
  ```
</CodeGroup>

`ServiceBusyError` / `ServiceBusyException` is not a `SandboxError` / `SandboxException`, so catch it explicitly.

## Resuming sandbox

When you resume a sandbox, it will be in the same state it was in when you paused it.
This means that all the files in the sandbox's filesystem will be restored and all the running processes, loaded variables, data, etc. will be restored.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript highlight={12-13} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sbx = await Sandbox.create()
  console.log('Sandbox created', sbx.sandboxId)

  // Pause the sandbox
  // You can save the sandbox ID in your database to resume the sandbox later
  await sbx.pause()
  console.log('Sandbox paused', sbx.sandboxId)

  // Connect to the sandbox (it will automatically resume the sandbox, if paused)
  const sameSbx = await sbx.connect()
  console.log('Connected to the sandbox', sameSbx.sandboxId)
  ```

  ```python Python highlight={12-13} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sbx = Sandbox.create()
  print('Sandbox created', sbx.sandbox_id)

  # Pause the sandbox
  # You can save the sandbox ID in your database to resume the sandbox later
  sbx.pause()
  print('Sandbox paused', sbx.sandbox_id)

  # Connect to the sandbox (it will automatically resume the sandbox, if paused)
  same_sbx = sbx.connect()
  print('Connected to the sandbox', same_sbx.sandbox_id)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Listing paused sandboxes

You can list all paused sandboxes by calling the `Sandbox.list` method and supplying the `state` query parameter.
More information about using the method can be found in [List Sandboxes](/sandbox/list).

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript highlight={4,7} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox, SandboxInfo } from 'e2b'

  // List all paused sandboxes
  const paginator = Sandbox.list({ query: { state: ['paused'] } })

  // Get the first page of paused sandboxes
  const sandboxes = await paginator.nextItems()

  // Get all paused sandboxes
  while (paginator.hasNext) {
    const items = await paginator.nextItems()
    sandboxes.push(...items)
  }
  ```

  ```python Python highlight={4,7} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  # List all paused sandboxes
  from e2b import Sandbox, SandboxQuery, SandboxState

  paginator = Sandbox.list(SandboxQuery(state=[SandboxState.PAUSED]))

  # Get the first page of paused sandboxes
  sandboxes = paginator.next_items()

  # Get all paused sandboxes
  while paginator.has_next:
    items = paginator.next_items()
    sandboxes.extend(items)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Removing paused sandboxes

You can remove paused sandboxes by calling the `kill` method on the Sandbox instance.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript highlight={11,14} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sbx = await Sandbox.create()
  console.log('Sandbox created', sbx.sandboxId)

  // Pause the sandbox
  // You can save the sandbox ID in your database to resume the sandbox later
  await sbx.pause()

  // Remove the sandbox
  await sbx.kill()

  // Remove sandbox by id
  await Sandbox.kill(sbx.sandboxId)
  ```

  ```python Python highlight={9,12} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sbx = Sandbox.create()

  # Pause the sandbox
  sbx.pause()

  # Remove the sandbox
  sbx.kill()

  # Remove sandbox by id
  Sandbox.kill(sbx.sandbox_id)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Sandbox's timeout

When connecting to a sandbox, the timeout is not reset. `Sandbox.connect()` only ever extends the sandbox's lifetime - the new expiry is the later of the current expiry and now plus the timeout you pass (default 5 minutes). So a sandbox with 20 minutes left stays at 20 minutes even if you connect with the default timeout, while a sandbox with only 1 minute left is bumped up to 5. To set an exact timeout that can also shorten the remaining lifetime, use `setTimeout()` / `set_timeout()` instead.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sbx = await Sandbox.connect(sandboxId, { timeoutMs: 60 * 1000 }) // 60 seconds
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sbx = Sandbox.connect(sandbox_id, timeout=60) # 60 seconds
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Auto-pause

Auto-pause is configured in the sandbox lifecycle on create. `onTimeout`/`on_timeout` defaults to `"kill"`, meaning the sandbox is terminated when its timeout expires. Set it to `"pause"` to auto-pause on timeout instead.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create({
    timeoutMs: 10 * 60 * 1000, // Optional: change default timeout (10 minutes)
    lifecycle: {
      onTimeout: 'pause', // Defaults to 'kill'; set to 'pause' to auto-pause on timeout
      autoResume: false, // Optional (default is false)
    },
  })
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create(
      timeout=10 * 60,  # Optional: change default timeout (10 minutes)
      lifecycle={
          "on_timeout": "pause",  # Defaults to "kill"; set to "pause" to auto-pause on timeout
          "auto_resume": False,   # Optional (default is False)
      },

Auto-pause is persistent, meaning if your sandbox resumes and later times out again, it will pause again.

If the node refuses a memory auto-pause because it is still finishing the sandbox's previous snapshot, E2B keeps the sandbox running and retries the pause for up to about two minutes past its timeout. Only if the node keeps refusing for that whole window is the sandbox paused **filesystem-only**: the disk is preserved and the next resume reboots the sandbox, so the memory state is lost. Under normal conditions this never happens. It protects your sandbox during snapshot backlogs on a node, where the alternative would be losing the sandbox entirely. This behavior is rolling out region by region together with the refusal handling above. To see whether it happened to a sandbox, check its `sandbox.lifecycle.paused` event: `pause_mode` is `filesystem` (see [lifecycle events](/sandbox/lifecycle-events-webhooks#webhook-payload)).

To make the auto-pause filesystem-only — dropping memory so resume reboots the sandbox — use the object form `onTimeout: { action: 'pause', mode: 'filesystem' }` (JavaScript) / `"on_timeout": {"action": "pause", "mode": "filesystem"}` (Python). See [Filesystem-only snapshots](/sandbox/filesystem-only-snapshots).

If you call `.kill()`, the sandbox is permanently deleted and cannot be resumed.

For auto-resume behavior, see [AutoResume](/sandbox/auto-resume).

## Network

If you have a service (for example a server) running inside your sandbox and you pause the sandbox, the service won't be accessible from the outside and all the clients will be disconnected.
If you resume the sandbox, the service will be accessible again but you need to connect clients again.

## Limitations

### Pause and resume performance

* Pausing a sandbox takes approximately **4 seconds per 1 GiB of RAM**
* Resuming a sandbox takes approximately **1 second**

### Paused sandbox retention

* Paused sandboxes are kept **indefinitely**; there is no automatic deletion or time-to-live limit
* There is currently **no configurable "auto-kill after N days" option**; a paused sandbox will not expire on its own
* You can resume a paused sandbox at any time
* To remove a paused sandbox, you must kill it explicitly with an API call (`sandbox.kill()` / `Sandbox.kill(sandboxId)`), as shown in [Removing paused sandboxes](#removing-paused-sandboxes)

### Continuous runtime limits

* A sandbox can remain running (without being paused) for:
  * **24 hours** on the **Pro tier**
  * **1 hour** on the **Hobby tier**
* After a sandbox is paused and resumed, the continuous runtime limit is **reset**


# Interactive terminal (PTY)
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/sandbox/pty



The PTY (pseudo-terminal) module allows you to create interactive terminal sessions in the sandbox with real-time, bidirectional communication.

Unlike `commands.run()` which executes a command and returns output after completion, PTY provides:

* **Real-time streaming** - Output is streamed as it happens via callbacks
* **Bidirectional input** - Send input while the terminal is running
* **Interactive shell** - Full terminal support with ANSI colors and escape sequences
* **Session persistence** - Disconnect and reconnect to running sessions

<Note>
  The SDK asks the sandbox for a keepalive ping every 50 seconds on every stream, so a stream normally stays open for more than an hour even while nothing is written. No single connection is guaranteed that long, so build your client to reconnect. See [Stream connections](/faq/sandbox-lifetime#stream-connections).
</Note>

## Create a PTY session

Use `sandbox.pty.create()` to start an interactive bash shell. This example runs `echo 'hello world'`, then exits and prints the terminal output.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create()

  const terminal = await sandbox.pty.create({
    cols: 80,                    // Terminal size in characters
    rows: 24,
    envs: { MY_VAR: 'hello' },   // Optional environment variables
    cwd: '/home/user',           // Optional working directory
    user: 'root',                // Optional user to run as
    onData: (data) => {
      // Called whenever the terminal outputs data
      process.stdout.write(data)
    },
  })

  // terminal.pid contains the process ID
  console.log('Terminal PID:', terminal.pid)

  // Send input to the PTY. Data must be bytes (Uint8Array), and the trailing newline "presses Enter".
  await sandbox.pty.sendInput(terminal.pid, new TextEncoder().encode("echo 'hello world'\n"))

  // The PTY runs an interactive login shell that won't exit on its own, so tell it
  // to exit — otherwise wait() below blocks forever.
  await sandbox.pty.sendInput(terminal.pid, new TextEncoder().encode('exit\n'))

  // Wait for the terminal to exit (output is streamed to onData above)
  await terminal.wait()
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox, PtySize

  sandbox = Sandbox.create()

  terminal = sandbox.pty.create(
      size=PtySize(rows=24, cols=80),  # Terminal size in characters
      envs={'MY_VAR': 'hello'},        # Optional environment variables
      cwd='/home/user',                # Optional working directory
      user='root',                     # Optional user to run as
  )

  # terminal.pid contains the process ID
  print('Terminal PID:', terminal.pid)

  # Send input to the PTY via the pty module. Data must be bytes, and the trailing newline "presses Enter".
  sandbox.pty.send_stdin(terminal.pid, b"echo 'hello world'\n")

  # The PTY runs an interactive login shell that won't exit on its own, so tell it
  # to exit — otherwise wait() below blocks forever.
  sandbox.pty.send_stdin(terminal.pid, b"exit\n")

  # Stream output by passing on_pty to wait()
  # end='' prevents print from adding an extra newline
  terminal.wait(on_pty=lambda data: print(data.decode(), end=''))
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Note>
  The PTY runs an interactive bash shell with `TERM=xterm-256color`, which supports ANSI colors and escape sequences.
</Note>

## Timeout

PTY sessions have a configurable timeout that controls the session duration. The default is 60 seconds. For interactive or long-running sessions, set `timeoutMs: 0` (JavaScript) or `timeout=0` (Python) so the SDK does not close the session on its own. If the connection drops, `pty.connect()` reattaches to the same running session. See [Disconnect and reconnect](#disconnect-and-reconnect).

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create()

  const terminal = await sandbox.pty.create({
    cols: 80,
    rows: 24,
    onData: (data) => process.stdout.write(data),
    timeoutMs: 0,  // Disable the SDK session timeout
  })
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox, PtySize

  sandbox = Sandbox.create()

  terminal = sandbox.pty.create(
      PtySize(rows=24, cols=80),
      timeout=0,  # Disable the SDK session timeout
  )

  # end='' prevents print() from adding an extra newline
  # (PTY output already contains newlines)
  terminal.wait(on_pty=lambda data: print(data.decode(), end=''))
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Send input to PTY

Use `sendInput()` in JavaScript or `send_stdin()` in Python to send data to the terminal. These methods return a Promise (JavaScript) or complete synchronously (Python) - the actual output is delivered to your `onData` callback (JavaScript) or to the `on_pty` callback you pass to `wait()` (Python).

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create()

  const terminal = await sandbox.pty.create({
    cols: 80,
    rows: 24,
    onData: (data) => process.stdout.write(data),
  })

  // Send a command (don't forget the newline!)
  await sandbox.pty.sendInput(
    terminal.pid,
    new TextEncoder().encode('echo "Hello from PTY"\n')
  )
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox, PtySize

  sandbox = Sandbox.create()

  terminal = sandbox.pty.create(PtySize(rows=24, cols=80))

  # Send a command as bytes (b'...' is Python's byte string syntax)
  # Don't forget the newline!
  sandbox.pty.send_stdin(terminal.pid, b'echo "Hello from PTY"\nexit\n')

  # Receive output by passing on_pty to wait()
  # end='' prevents print from adding an extra newline
  terminal.wait(on_pty=lambda data: print(data.decode(), end=''))
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Resize the terminal

When the user's terminal window changes size, notify the PTY with `resize()`. The `cols` and `rows` parameters are measured in characters, not pixels.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create()

  const terminal = await sandbox.pty.create({
    cols: 80,
    rows: 24,
    onData: (data) => process.stdout.write(data),
  })

  // Resize to new dimensions (in characters)
  await sandbox.pty.resize(terminal.pid, {
    cols: 120,
    rows: 40,
  })
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox, PtySize

  sandbox = Sandbox.create()

  terminal = sandbox.pty.create(PtySize(rows=24, cols=80))

  # Resize to new dimensions (in characters)
  sandbox.pty.resize(terminal.pid, PtySize(rows=40, cols=120))
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Disconnect and reconnect

You can disconnect from a PTY session while keeping it running, then reconnect later with a new data handler. This is useful for:

* Resuming terminal sessions after network interruptions
* Sharing terminal access between multiple clients
* Implementing terminal session persistence

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create()

  // Create a PTY session
  const terminal = await sandbox.pty.create({
    cols: 80,
    rows: 24,
    onData: (data) => console.log('Handler 1:', new TextDecoder().decode(data)),
  })

  const pid = terminal.pid

  // Send a command
  await sandbox.pty.sendInput(pid, new TextEncoder().encode('echo hello\n'))

  // Disconnect - PTY keeps running in the background
  await terminal.disconnect()

  // Later: reconnect with a new data handler
  const reconnected = await sandbox.pty.connect(pid, {
    onData: (data) => console.log('Handler 2:', new TextDecoder().decode(data)),
  })

  // Continue using the session
  await sandbox.pty.sendInput(pid, new TextEncoder().encode('echo world\nexit\n'))

  // Wait for the terminal to exit
  await reconnected.wait()
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox, PtySize

  sandbox = Sandbox.create()

  # Create a PTY session
  terminal = sandbox.pty.create(PtySize(rows=24, cols=80))

  pid = terminal.pid

  # Send a command
  sandbox.pty.send_stdin(pid, b'echo hello\n')

  # Disconnect - PTY keeps running in the background
  terminal.disconnect()

  # Later: reconnect to the same session
  reconnected = sandbox.pty.connect(pid)

  # Continue using the session, then exit
  sandbox.pty.send_stdin(pid, b'echo world\nexit\n')

  # Wait for the terminal to exit, streaming output via on_pty
  reconnected.wait(on_pty=lambda data: print('Handler:', data.decode()))
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Kill the PTY

Terminate the PTY session with `kill()`.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create()

  const terminal = await sandbox.pty.create({
    cols: 80,
    rows: 24,
    onData: (data) => process.stdout.write(data),
  })

  // Kill the PTY
  const killed = await sandbox.pty.kill(terminal.pid)
  console.log('Killed:', killed)  // true if successful

  // Or use the handle method
  // await terminal.kill()
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox, PtySize

  sandbox = Sandbox.create()

  terminal = sandbox.pty.create(PtySize(rows=24, cols=80))

  # Kill the PTY
  killed = sandbox.pty.kill(terminal.pid)
  print('Killed:', killed)  # True if successful

  # Or use the handle method
  # terminal.kill()
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Wait for PTY to exit

Use `wait()` to wait for the terminal session to end (e.g., when the user types `exit`).

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create()

  const terminal = await sandbox.pty.create({
    cols: 80,
    rows: 24,
    onData: (data) => process.stdout.write(data),
  })

  // Send exit command
  await sandbox.pty.sendInput(terminal.pid, new TextEncoder().encode('exit\n'))

  // Wait for the terminal to exit
  const result = await terminal.wait()
  console.log('Exit code:', result.exitCode)
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox, PtySize

  sandbox = Sandbox.create()

  terminal = sandbox.pty.create(PtySize(rows=24, cols=80))

  # Send exit command
  sandbox.pty.send_stdin(terminal.pid, b'exit\n')

  # Wait for the terminal to exit, streaming output via on_pty
  result = terminal.wait(on_pty=lambda data: print(data.decode(), end=''))
  print('Exit code:', result.exit_code)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Interactive terminal (SSH-like)

Building a fully interactive terminal (like SSH) requires handling raw mode, stdin forwarding, and terminal resize events. For a production implementation, see the [E2B CLI source code](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/blob/main/packages/cli/src/terminal.ts) which uses the same `sandbox.pty` API documented above.


# Reboot on resume
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/sandbox/resume-without-memory

Resume a paused sandbox from its disk state alone, ignoring the memory in its snapshot.

Resuming a paused sandbox restores its memory, so it continues from where it
left off.

A **reboot** resume ignores that memory and boots the sandbox from its disk
instead. Everything written and flushed before the pause is there; nothing that
lived only in memory returns — no running processes, no caches, no in-sandbox
connections. The snapshot itself is left alone, so it can still be restored
normally afterwards.

Pass `onResume: 'reboot'` (JavaScript) / `on_resume="reboot"` (Python) to
[`connect()`](/sandbox/connect):

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript highlight={4} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  // The memory snapshot is ignored — the sandbox reboots from disk
  const sbx = await Sandbox.connect(sandboxId, { onResume: 'reboot' })
  ```

  ```python Python highlight={4} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  # The memory snapshot is ignored — the sandbox reboots from disk
  sbx = Sandbox.connect(sandbox_id, on_resume="reboot")
  ```
</CodeGroup>

`onResume` / `on_resume` defaults to `'restore'`, the memory restore `connect()`
has always done.

<Note>
  This is a **resume-side** choice, and it is not the same as a
  [filesystem-only snapshot](/sandbox/filesystem-only-snapshots), which is a
  **pause-side** choice. A filesystem-only snapshot never captures memory in the
  first place; `onResume: 'reboot'` / `on_resume="reboot"` skips the memory of a
  snapshot that *has* it.
</Note>

## When to reboot instead of restoring

A reboot is the way past a memory image that will not restore cleanly: a sandbox
that ran out of memory before it was paused comes back under the same pressure,
and the resume can hang instead of completing. A reboot never reads that memory,
so it cannot hang on it.

Because the choice is made at resume time, it also applies to snapshots taken
without the caller's involvement: a sandbox
[auto-paused](/sandbox/persistence#auto-pause) on timeout keeps its memory.

A reboot is slower than a restore, not faster: a memory restore takes about a
second, while a reboot costs roughly a fresh boot.

## Restore vs. reboot

| | `'restore'` / `"restore"` (default) | `'reboot'` / `"reboot"` |
| - | - | - |
| Filesystem (disk) | Preserved | Preserved |
| Memory (RAM) | Restored | **Ignored** |
| Running processes | Restored | **Terminated** (reboot) |
| Unflushed writes | Preserved | **Lost** |
| The memory snapshot | Consumed as-is | **Left untouched** |
| Speed | Near-instant | Roughly a fresh boot |

Connections from clients outside the sandbox are not one of the differences:
they drop when the sandbox pauses and have to be re-established on resume either
way (see [Persistence](/sandbox/persistence#network)).

## What you get on disk

A reboot from a memory-inclusive snapshot gives you **crash-recovery
semantics**: the disk image is what a power loss would have left. Filesystem
metadata is repaired as the disk is mounted, but data writes that had not been
flushed when the sandbox was paused are gone.

Expect the same losses you would expect from pulling the power on a machine — a
partially written file, or a database that replays its own log on startup.
Anything written and flushed survives; anything still sitting in the page cache
does not.

<Warning>
  Unflushed writes are discarded, not merely at risk. A file written without
  `sync` should be assumed lost after a reboot resume.
</Warning>

## Keep a snapshot afterwards

Once the sandbox is running again, the memory in the original snapshot is no
longer reachable. Read or write what you need, then **pause it** — that records
a new snapshot you can resume normally.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript highlight={8} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sbx = await Sandbox.connect(sandboxId, { onResume: 'reboot' })

  const data = await sbx.files.read('/home/user/important.txt')

  // Record a new snapshot before the sandbox times out
  await sbx.pause()
  ```

  ```python Python highlight={8} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sbx = Sandbox.connect(sandbox_id, on_resume="reboot")

  data = sbx.files.read("/home/user/important.txt")

  # Record a new snapshot before the sandbox times out
  sbx.pause()
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Warning>
  Don't just leave the rebooted sandbox running. If it reaches its timeout without
  being paused it is discarded and the sandbox reverts to the snapshot you resumed
  from, memory and all. Your next plain `connect()` then restores that memory and
  puts you back where you started. If the reboot was to get past a memory image
  that would not restore, that image is what the next `connect()` restores.

  Killing it instead is final: a deleted sandbox has no resume path, so
  `connect()` afterwards reports that the sandbox does not exist. In Python,
  remember that using the sandbox as a context manager kills it when the block
  exits.
</Warning>

## Only a paused sandbox is rebooted

* **Already running?** The option is ignored and you get the running sandbox
  back. `connect()` never shortens a sandbox's lifetime: the new expiry is the
  later of the current expiry and now plus the timeout you pass
  ([Persistence](/sandbox/persistence#sandboxs-timeout)). To reboot it,
  [`pause()`](/sandbox/persistence) it first and then connect with
  `onResume: 'reboot'` / `on_resume="reboot"`.
* **Still starting?** A reboot that would drop memory is refused while a start
  is already in flight, because the reboot cannot join a start that is
  restoring memory. Let the start finish, then pause, then reboot. This can
  happen without you doing anything: with
  [auto-resume](/sandbox/auto-resume) enabled, inbound traffic can start a
  paused sandbox on its own.
* **Paused without memory?** A
  [filesystem-only snapshot](/sandbox/filesystem-only-snapshots) already
  reboots on every resume, so `onResume: 'reboot'` / `on_resume="reboot"` changes
  nothing for it and is harmless to pass.

## If the reboot fails

A reboot that starts and then fails to boot leaves the sandbox paused with its
snapshot intact, so you can retry the reboot, or connect normally to restore the
memory as before. An attempt that does not succeed consumes nothing.

## Self-hosted deployments

On a control plane that knows the option but does not have it turned on, an
`onResume: 'reboot'` / `on_resume="reboot"` that would actually drop memory fails
with an explicit error rather than quietly restoring the memory, so you can tell
a reboot that did not happen from one that did.

<Warning>
  A control plane older than the option does not recognise it at all: it is
  ignored, the memory is restored, and the call returns success — so a reboot can
  appear to work without having happened. Check your control plane is new enough
  before relying on it.
</Warning>

# Secured access
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/sandbox/secured-access



Secure access authenticates communication between SDK and sandbox controller.

Sandbox controller runs in sandbox itself and exposes APIs for work with file system, run commands, and generally control the sandbox via our SDK.
Without secure access, anyone with a sandbox ID can access the controller APIs and control the sandbox from inside.

<Note>
  SDKs version `v2.0.0` and above are using secure access by default when creating sandbox. This may not be compatible with older custom templates and you may need to rebuild them.
</Note>

## Migration path

When using custom templates created before envd `v0.2.0`, you need to rebuild the templates to enable secure access.
SDK versions `2.51.0` and above ignore the `secure` option and always create sandboxes with secure access through `Sandbox.create`. To create sandboxes from these templates with these SDK versions, rebuild them first.

You can check the template envd version using the `e2b template list` command or by viewing the templates list on the dashboard.

## Supported versions

All sandboxes based on templates with envd version at least `v0.2.0` already support secure access without any additional changes.

The secure access flag was introduced in `1.5.0` for JavaScript and Python SDKs to be used optionally.
Starting with SDK version `v2.0.0`, sandboxes are created with secure access enabled by default.

## Access sandbox API directly

In some cases, you might want to access sandbox controller APIs directly through its URL, such as when you are not using SDKs.
When secure access is enabled, you must provide an authentication token that was returned during sandbox creation.

Each call to the sandbox controller must include an additional header `X-Access-Token` with the access token value returned during sandbox creation.

For sandbox [upload](/filesystem/upload#upload-with-pre-signed-url) and [download](/filesystem/download#download-with-pre-signed-url) URLs, you need to generate pre-signed URLs. We are advising to use SDK for generating presigned URLs.

## Deprecated `secure` option

The `secure` option is deprecated. SDK versions `2.51.0` and above accept it for backward compatibility but ignore it. With these SDK versions, passing `secure: false` does not disable secure access, and every sandbox created with `Sandbox.create` has secure access enabled.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create({ secure: false }) // Ignored from SDK 2.51.0, secure access stays enabled
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create(secure=False)  # Ignored from SDK 2.51.0, secure access stays enabled
  ```
</CodeGroup>


# Sandbox snapshots
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/sandbox/snapshots

Create a persistent point-in-time capture of a running sandbox, including filesystem and memory, and spawn new sandboxes from that exact state.

Snapshots let you create a persistent point-in-time capture of a running sandbox, including both its filesystem and memory state.
You can then use a snapshot to spawn new sandboxes that start from the exact same state.

The original sandbox continues running after the snapshot is created, and a single snapshot can be used to create many new sandboxes.

## Prerequisites

Snapshots require templates with envd version `v0.5.0` or above. If you are using a custom template created before envd `v0.5.0`, you need to rebuild it.

You can check the template envd version using the `e2b template list` command or by viewing the templates list on the dashboard.

## Snapshots vs. Pause/Resume

| | Pause/Resume | Snapshots |
| - | - | - |
| Effect on original sandbox | Pauses (stops) the sandbox | Sandbox briefly pauses, then continues running |
| Relationship | One-to-one — resume restores the same sandbox | One-to-many — snapshot can spawn many new sandboxes |
| Use case | Suspend and resume a single sandbox | Create a reusable checkpoint |

For pause/resume functionality, see [Persistence](/sandbox/persistence).

## Snapshot flow

```mermaid actions={false} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
graph LR
    A[Running Sandbox] -->|createSnapshot| B[Snapshotting]
    B --> C[Snapshot Created]
    B --> A
    C -->|Sandbox.create| D[New Sandbox 1]
    C -->|Sandbox.create| E[New Sandbox 2]
    C -->|Sandbox.create| F[New Sandbox N]
```

The sandbox is briefly paused during the snapshot process but automatically returns to running state. The sandbox ID stays the same after the snapshot completes.

<Warning>
  During the snapshot, the sandbox is temporarily paused and resumed. This causes all active connections (e.g. WebSocket, PTY, command streams) to be dropped. Make sure your client handles reconnection properly.
</Warning>

## Create a snapshot

You can create a snapshot from a running sandbox instance.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create()

  // Create a snapshot from a running sandbox
  const snapshot = await sandbox.createSnapshot()
  console.log('Snapshot ID:', snapshot.snapshotId)
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create()

  # Create a snapshot from a running sandbox
  snapshot = sandbox.create_snapshot()
  print('Snapshot ID:', snapshot.snapshot_id)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

You can also create a snapshot by sandbox ID using the static method.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  // Create a snapshot by sandbox ID
  const snapshot = await Sandbox.createSnapshot(sandboxId)
  console.log('Snapshot ID:', snapshot.snapshotId)
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  # Create a snapshot by sandbox ID
  snapshot = Sandbox.create_snapshot(sandbox_id)
  print('Snapshot ID:', snapshot.snapshot_id)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Filesystem-only snapshots

By default a snapshot captures both the filesystem and the memory. Pass `mode: 'filesystem'`
(JavaScript) / `mode="filesystem"` (Python) to capture only the filesystem: the snapshot is
smaller and faster to take, the source sandbox keeps running, and sandboxes created from it
reboot from disk instead of restoring memory. See
[Filesystem-only snapshots](/sandbox/filesystem-only-snapshots) for the details, the
`SnapshotMode` type and the cases in which the request is refused.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  const snapshot = await sandbox.createSnapshot({ mode: 'filesystem' })
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  snapshot = sandbox.create_snapshot(mode="filesystem")
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Create a sandbox from a snapshot

The snapshot ID can be used directly with `Sandbox.create()` to spawn a new sandbox from the snapshot. The new sandbox starts with the exact filesystem and memory state captured in the snapshot.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript highlight={5} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const snapshot = await sandbox.createSnapshot()

  // Create a new sandbox from the snapshot
  const newSandbox = await Sandbox.create(snapshot.snapshotId)
  ```

  ```python Python highlight={5} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  snapshot = sandbox.create_snapshot()

  # Create a new sandbox from the snapshot
  new_sandbox = Sandbox.create(snapshot.snapshot_id)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## List snapshots

You can list all snapshots. The method returns a paginator for iterating through results.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const paginator = Sandbox.listSnapshots()

  const snapshots = []
  while (paginator.hasNext) {
    const items = await paginator.nextItems()
    snapshots.push(...items)
  }
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  paginator = Sandbox.list_snapshots()

  snapshots = []
  while paginator.has_next:
      items = paginator.next_items()
      snapshots.extend(items)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Filter by sandbox

You can filter snapshots created from a specific sandbox.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const paginator = Sandbox.listSnapshots({ sandboxId: 'your-sandbox-id' })
  const snapshots = await paginator.nextItems()
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  paginator = Sandbox.list_snapshots(sandbox_id="your-sandbox-id")
  snapshots = paginator.next_items()
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Delete a snapshot

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  // Returns true if deleted, false if the snapshot was not found
  const deleted = await Sandbox.deleteSnapshot(snapshot.snapshotId)
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  Sandbox.delete_snapshot(snapshot.snapshot_id)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Snapshots vs. Templates

Both snapshots and [templates](/template/quickstart) create reusable starting points for sandboxes, but they solve different problems.

| | Templates | Snapshots |
| - | - | - |
| Defined by | Declarative code (Template builder) | Capturing a running sandbox |
| Reproducibility | Same definition produces the same sandbox every time | Captures whatever state exists at that moment |
| Best for | Repeatable base environments | Checkpointing, rollback, forking runtime state |

Use templates when every sandbox should start from an identical, known state — pre-installed tools, fixed configurations, consistent environments.
Use snapshots when you need to capture or fork live runtime state that depends on what happened during execution.

### Performance

For workloads where either approach would work, **templates are faster and more resource-efficient** than snapshots:

* **Compact memory.** During a template build, the guest OS is restarted before the long-running process is captured. Memory is compact and any setup-time processes that aren't needed at runtime are gone, so sandboxes start with less memory pressure and fewer resources.
* **More effective prefetching.** E2B optimistically prefetches data needed to start a sandbox. For templates this prefetching is highly effective; for snapshots its effectiveness is significantly lower due to memory fragmentation and general memory pressure from the captured live state.

If you can express the state you need as a declarative template build, you'll generally get faster cold starts and lower overhead than capturing the equivalent state as a snapshot. Creating many templates is a supported pattern, so this doesn't need to discourage you from using templates per-customer or per-project. See [Scaling templates](/template/quickstart#scaling-templates).

## Use cases

* **Checkpointing agent work** — an AI agent has loaded data and produced partial results in memory. Snapshot it so you can resume or fork from that point later.
* **Rollback points** — snapshot before a risky or expensive operation (running untrusted code, applying a migration, refactoring a web app). If it fails, rollback - spawn a fresh sandbox from the snapshot before the operation happened.
* **Forking workflows** — spawn multiple sandboxes from the same snapshot to explore different approaches in parallel. To snapshot and spawn copies in a single call, see [Forking](/sandbox/fork).
* **Cached sandboxes** — avoid repeating expensive setup by snapshotting a sandbox that has already loaded a large dataset or started a long-running process.
* **Sharing state** — one user or agent configures an environment interactively, snapshots it, and others start from that exact state.


# SSH access
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/sandbox/ssh-access

Connect to your sandbox via SSH using a WebSocket proxy

SSH access enables remote terminal sessions, SCP/SFTP file transfers, and integration with tools that expect SSH connectivity.

## Quickstart

<Steps>
  <Step title="Build the SSH template">
    Define a template with OpenSSH server and [websocat](https://github.com/vi/websocat):

    <CodeGroup>
      ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
      // template.ts
      import { Template, waitForPort } from 'e2b'

      export const template = Template()
        .fromUbuntuImage('25.04')
        .aptInstall(['openssh-server'])
        .runCmd([
          'curl -fsSL -o /usr/local/bin/websocat https://github.com/vi/websocat/releases/latest/download/websocat.x86_64-unknown-linux-musl',
          'chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/websocat',
        ], { user: 'root' })
        .setStartCmd('sudo websocat -b --exit-on-eof ws-l:0.0.0.0:8081 tcp:127.0.0.1:22', waitForPort(8081))
      ```

      ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
      # template.py
      from e2b import Template, wait_for_port

      template = (
          Template()
          .from_ubuntu_image("25.04")
          .apt_install(["openssh-server"])
          .run_cmd([
              "curl -fsSL -o /usr/local/bin/websocat https://github.com/vi/websocat/releases/latest/download/websocat.x86_64-unknown-linux-musl",
              "chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/websocat",
          ], user="root")
          .set_start_cmd("sudo websocat -b --exit-on-eof ws-l:0.0.0.0:8081 tcp:127.0.0.1:22", wait_for_port(8081))
      )
      ```
    </CodeGroup>

    Build the template:

    <CodeGroup>
      ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
      // build.ts
      import { Template, defaultBuildLogger } from 'e2b'
      import { template as sshTemplate } from './template'

      await Template.build(sshTemplate, 'ssh-ready', {
        cpuCount: 2,
        memoryMB: 2048,
        onBuildLogs: defaultBuildLogger(),
      })
      ```

      ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
      # build.py
      from e2b import Template, default_build_logger
      from template import template as ssh_template

      Template.build(ssh_template, "ssh-ready",
          cpu_count=2,
          memory_mb=2048,
          on_build_logs=default_build_logger(),
      )
      ```
    </CodeGroup>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create a sandbox from the template">
    <CodeGroup>
      ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
      import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

      const sbx = await Sandbox.create('ssh-ready')
      console.log(sbx.sandboxId)
      ```

      ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
      from e2b import Sandbox

      sbx = Sandbox.create("ssh-ready")
      print(sbx.sandbox_id)
      ```
    </CodeGroup>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect from your machine">
    <CodeGroup>
      ```bash macOS theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
      # Install websocat
      brew install websocat

      # Connect to your sandbox
      ssh -o 'ProxyCommand=websocat --binary -B 65536 - wss://8081-%h.e2b.app' user@<sandbox-id>
      ```

      ```bash Linux theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
      # Install websocat
      sudo curl -fsSL -o /usr/local/bin/websocat https://github.com/vi/websocat/releases/latest/download/websocat.x86_64-unknown-linux-musl
      sudo chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/websocat

      # Connect to your sandbox
      ssh -o 'ProxyCommand=websocat --binary -B 65536 - wss://8081-%h.e2b.app' user@<sandbox-id>
      ```
    </CodeGroup>
  </Step>
</Steps>

***

## How it works

This method uses [websocat](https://github.com/vi/websocat) to proxy SSH connections over WebSocket through the sandbox's exposed ports.

# Overview
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/secrets

Store secrets with E2B and inject them into outbound HTTPS requests outside the sandbox.

Secrets let you store credentials such as API keys with E2B and reference them by name.
Rather than passing a key as an environment variable or baking it into a template, where any code running in the sandbox can read it, you store the value once and reference it in a network rule.
The egress proxy injects the real value into matching outbound HTTPS requests outside the sandbox. Your sandbox configuration contains only a reference to the secret.

Secret values are write-only through the management API: create and update accept the value, while responses, reads, lists, and API errors never return it. Manage secrets from your trusted application, keeping its E2B API key outside the sandbox. Secrets belong to the project associated with that key.

Only inject credentials into destinations you trust. The destination receives the value and could expose it in its response to the sandbox.

With the E2B SDK you can:

* [Create a secret.](/secrets/create)
* [Inject secrets into the sandbox's requests.](/secrets/inject)
* [Rotate secrets without restarting sandboxes.](/secrets/rotate)
* [Delete secrets.](/secrets/delete)
* [List secrets and read their metadata.](/secrets/list)

For short-lived tokens minted per sandbox instead of stored credentials, see [workload identity](/iam/workload-identity).


# Create a secret
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/secrets/create

Store a credential with E2B and reference it by a name you choose.

Create a secret with `Secret.create`. The name is yours to choose; the value is stored encrypted and the response carries metadata only.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Secret } from 'e2b'

  const secret = await Secret.create('stripe_api_key', 'sk_live_...', {
    metadata: { environment: 'production' },
  })

  console.log(secret.secretId) // sec_...
  console.log(secret.version) // 1
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Secret

  secret = Secret.create(
      "stripe_api_key",
      "sk_live_...",
      metadata={"environment": "production"},
  )

  print(secret.secret_id)  # sec_...
  print(secret.version)  # 1
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Secret names

When creating a secret, its name must contain 1–128 ASCII letters, digits, underscores (`_`), or hyphens (`-`), with no whitespace. The API lowercases the name before storing it, so `My-Key` and `my-key` identify the same secret. Names may not start with the reserved `sec_` prefix, in any capitalization. Invalid names, including names with surrounding whitespace, receive a `400` API error that doesn't echo the name back. Creating a name that already exists in the project returns `409`. Use `Secret.update` to rotate its value.

Each secret also receives a stable `sec_...` identifier. Every method that takes a single secret (`Secret.getInfo`, `Secret.exists`, `Secret.update`, and `Secret.destroy`) accepts either the identifier or the name.


# Deleting secrets
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/secrets/delete

Revoke a stored secret and understand what happens to sandboxes that reference it.

Delete a secret with `Secret.destroy`. It returns `true` when the secret was deleted and `false` when it didn't exist.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Secret } from 'e2b'

  await Secret.destroy('stripe_api_key') // true
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Secret

  Secret.destroy("stripe_api_key")  # True
  ```
</CodeGroup>

After deletion succeeds, new secrets lookups cannot resolve the secret. Matching HTTPS requests omit headers referencing it, following the [fail-open behavior](/secrets/inject#resolution-failures-are-silent-for-traffic) of unresolved references. Requests that already resolved its value can still use it. Stored versions are cleaned up asynchronously.

Deleting a secret from E2B does not revoke the credential at its provider. Revoke the API key or token there as well when you need to invalidate it.

Markers reference secrets by name, so deleting and recreating a name makes matching requests resolve the new secret's value. The recreated secret receives a new `sec_...` identifier and starts again at version 1.


# Injecting secrets into requests
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/secrets/inject

Reference a stored secret in a network rule so the egress proxy adds it to matching outbound requests.

Stored secrets are injected into the sandbox's outbound **HTTPS** requests through [per-host request transforms](/network/internet-access#per-host-request-transforms). Plain HTTP requests do not receive injected headers. Use `Secret.fill` to build the header value in a network rule's `transform`:

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox, Secret } from 'e2b'

  await Secret.create('stripe_api_key', 'sk_live_...')

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create({
    network: {
      // Only allow egress to hosts that have rules registered.
      allowOut: ({ rules }) => [...rules.keys()],
      // Deny all other traffic
      denyOut: ({ allTraffic }) => [allTraffic],
      rules: {
        'api.stripe.com': [
          {
            transform: {
              headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${Secret.fill('stripe_api_key')}` },
            },
          },
        ],
      },
    },
  })
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox, Secret

  Secret.create("stripe_api_key", "sk_live_...")

  sandbox = Sandbox.create(
      network={
          # Only allow egress to hosts that have rules registered.
          "allow_out": lambda ctx: list(ctx.rules.keys()),
          # Deny all other traffic
          "deny_out": lambda ctx: [ctx.all_traffic],
          "rules": {
              "api.stripe.com": [
                  {
                      "transform": {
                          "headers": {"Authorization": f"Bearer {Secret.fill('stripe_api_key')}"},
                      },
                  },
              ],
          },
      },
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

`Secret.fill('stripe_api_key')` is a local formatting helper that returns a reference to the secret without making a network call. Pass the secret's name, not its `sec_...` identifier. The SDK rejects empty names, braces, and control characters, but does not check whether the secret exists or enforce every API naming rule. Always use a valid [secret name](/secrets/create#secret-names).

The reference is stored in the sandbox's network configuration. Each time the egress proxy forwards a matching HTTPS request, it resolves the secret's current value and injects it outside the sandbox. Always build references with `Secret.fill`, since their format is an internal detail that can change.

The example allows outbound traffic only to the named host. Network rules alone do not grant or restrict access, so configure `allowOut` / `allow_out` and `denyOut` / `deny_out` as shown. Choose trusted hosts because they receive the injected credential.

A header value can mix secret markers with static text and [workload identity](/iam/workload-identity) token placeholders. Each header is substituted atomically: either every marker in it resolves, or the header is omitted from the forwarded request.

## Resolution failures are silent for traffic

Referencing a valid secret name that doesn't exist does **not** fail at sandbox creation. Secret existence is checked only at request time by the egress proxy. Invalid network rules can still cause sandbox creation to fail. When a reference can't be resolved (a misspelled name, a deleted secret, or resolution being temporarily unavailable), the proxy fails open for traffic:

* The request is still forwarded to the destination.
* Every header containing an unresolved reference is omitted in full. A failure of the whole secrets lookup omits all headers containing secret references for that request. Static headers and unrelated headers are unaffected by a secret lookup failure.
* A configured transform replaces any header of the same name sent by sandbox code. If resolution fails, the proxy also removes that sandbox-supplied header.
* The unresolved reference is never forwarded to the destination.

Resolved values must also be valid HTTP header values. A value containing a newline, carriage return, or another forbidden control character causes the entire header to be omitted.

The destination may return an authentication error such as `401` or `403`, depending on how it handles the missing header. E2B does not replace the forwarded response with a secret-resolution error. If authentication starts failing, check that the secret exists in the sandbox's project, that the reference uses its name, and that its value is valid for an HTTP header. `Secret.exists` checks existence without changing the secret, but does not test runtime injection.


# Limits
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/secrets/limits

Size, count, and pagination limits that apply to stored secrets.

* A secret value can be up to **64 KiB**, measured in UTF-8 bytes. Exceeding the limit fails with a `400` error. Values used in headers must also be valid HTTP header values.
* A project can hold up to **10** secrets on the Hobby plan and **100** on paid plans. Exceeding the limit fails with a `409` error. See [Billing & limits](/billing#plans).
* The network rules for one host can reference up to **32** distinct secret names after lowercasing. Repeated references to the same name count once. Exceeding the limit fails network-rule validation with a `400` error.
* A request can resolve up to **256 KiB** of secret values in total, counting each distinct name once. References that exceed this budget cannot be resolved, so their headers are omitted.
* Secret metadata supports up to **32** entries, with keys up to **128 bytes**, values up to **1,024 bytes**, and **8 KiB** in total across all keys and values. Exceeding these limits returns `400`.
* `Secret.list` returns up to **100** entries per page by default. Use `Secret.list({ limit: 50 })` in JavaScript or `Secret.list(limit=50)` in Python for smaller pages. Metadata filtering is not supported.


# Listing secrets
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/secrets/list

Read one secret's metadata, check whether a name is stored, or page through the project's secrets. No read surface returns a value.

`Secret.getInfo` (JavaScript) / `Secret.get_info` (Python) returns one secret's metadata and throws `SecretNotFoundError` (JavaScript) / `SecretNotFoundException` (Python) when it doesn't exist. `Secret.exists` answers the same question with a boolean instead of an error, which is the quickest way to check that a name you reference in a network rule is really stored. `Secret.list` returns a paginator over the project's secrets.

No read surface returns a secret value.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Secret } from 'e2b'

  const info = await Secret.getInfo('stripe_api_key')
  // info.secretId  -> 'sec_...'      stable identifier, new one if you recreate the name
  // info.name      -> 'stripe_api_key'
  // info.version   -> 2              the version markers currently resolve to
  // info.metadata  -> { environment: 'production' }
  // info.createdAt -> Date
  // info.updatedAt -> Date

  await Secret.exists('stripe_api_key') // true
  await Secret.exists('typo_api_key') // false

  const paginator = Secret.list()
  while (paginator.hasNext) {
    const secrets = await paginator.nextItems()
    console.log(secrets.map((s) => s.name))
  }
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Secret

  info = Secret.get_info("stripe_api_key")
  # info.secret_id  -> "sec_..."      stable identifier, new one if you recreate the name
  # info.name       -> "stripe_api_key"
  # info.version    -> 2              the version markers currently resolve to
  # info.metadata   -> {"environment": "production"}
  # info.created_at -> datetime
  # info.updated_at -> datetime

  Secret.exists("stripe_api_key")  # True
  Secret.exists("typo_api_key")  # False

  paginator = Secret.list()
  while paginator.has_next:
      secrets = paginator.next_items()
      print([s.name for s in secrets])
  ```
</CodeGroup>

Like every method that takes a single secret, `getInfo` and `exists` accept either the name or the `sec_...` identifier.

`metadata` is yours to use for organizing secrets, for example by environment or owner. It's not secret material, so don't store another credential in it. Create defaults it to an empty map. Update preserves it when omitted and replaces the whole map when supplied, so passing an empty map clears it.


# Rotating secrets
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/secrets/rotate

Store a new value for a secret and have running sandboxes pick it up on their next request.

Update a secret with `Secret.update`. Each successful update stores a new immutable version and makes it current. Version numbers increase and are never reused within the same secret, but failed updates can leave gaps.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Secret } from 'e2b'

  const secret = await Secret.update('stripe_api_key', 'sk_live_new...')
  console.log(secret.version) // 2
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Secret

  secret = Secret.update("stripe_api_key", "sk_live_new...")
  print(secret.version)  # 2
  ```
</CodeGroup>

After the update succeeds, matching HTTPS requests whose secrets lookup starts afterward use the new current value. A request that already resolved the old value can still use it. You don't need to restart the sandbox or update its network rules, and a paused sandbox uses the current value after it resumes.

References always resolve the current version. The public API and SDKs do not support version pinning, reading older values, or rolling back to a previous version. To restore an earlier credential, supply that value again with `Secret.update`.


# Archil
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/storage/archil

Mount Archil's elastic POSIX file system in your E2B sandbox for high-performance, shared access to S3, R2, and GCS object storage.

[Archil](https://archil.com) is an infinite, elastic, POSIX file system that automatically synchronizes to object storage like S3, R2, and GCS. Use Archil when you need to mount a bucket to your E2B sandbox but want higher out-of-the-box performance than `s3fs` or `gcsfuse` — it's a natural fit for parallel agents that share state.

Key properties:

* Shared SSD read and write caching in front of your object storage bucket for higher performance.
* Mounted as a regular POSIX directory, so any tool, script, or agent in the sandbox can use it.
* Scales to whatever your sandbox writes — you pay only for what you use.
* [Mountable by many sandboxes at once](https://docs.archil.com/concepts/shared-disks) for shared state across parallel agents.

## Build a template

Build a template with the `archil` CLI preinstalled. The Archil package depends on `libfuse2`, which is already preinstalled in the base image.

<CodeGroup>
  ```ts JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  const template = Template()
    .fromBaseImage()
    .runCmd("curl -fsSL https://archil.com/install | sh")
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  template = (
      Template()
      .from_base_image()
      .run_cmd("curl -fsSL https://archil.com/install | sh")
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Mount the disk

At sandbox runtime, mount the disk with a [disk-scoped mount token](https://docs.archil.com/concepts/disk-users#disk-token-authorization) from the [Archil console](https://console.archil.com).

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create('<your template id>')
  await sandbox.commands.run('mkdir -p /home/user/archil', { user: 'root' })
  await sandbox.commands.run(
    'archil mount <disk-name-or-id> /home/user/archil --region <region>',
    { user: 'root', envs: { ARCHIL_MOUNT_TOKEN: '<disk-token>' } }
  )
  await sandbox.commands.run('chown user:user /home/user/archil', { user: 'root' })
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create("<your template id>")
  sandbox.commands.run("mkdir -p /home/user/archil", user="root")
  sandbox.commands.run(
      "archil mount <disk-name-or-id> /home/user/archil --region <region>",
      user="root",
      envs={"ARCHIL_MOUNT_TOKEN": "<disk-token>"},
  )
  sandbox.commands.run("chown user:user /home/user/archil", user="root")
  ```
</CodeGroup>

`<disk-name-or-id>` is either an owner-qualified name (`myorg/my-disk`) or a disk ID (`dsk-0123456789abcdef`); `<region>` is the disk's region (e.g. `aws-us-east-1`). The disk is now mounted at `/home/user/archil` as a regular POSIX directory — any tool, script, or agent in the sandbox can read and write through it.

## Unmount before killing the sandbox

Call `archil unmount` before tearing down the sandbox. It's best practice to release filesystem resources cleanly rather than letting the sandbox kill take them down.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  await sandbox.commands.run('archil unmount /home/user/archil', { user: 'root' })
  await sandbox.kill()
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  sandbox.commands.run("archil unmount /home/user/archil", user="root")
  sandbox.kill()
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Sharing across sandboxes

The same disk can be mounted by multiple sandboxes concurrently. Add `--shared` to the mount command — see [Shared Disks](https://docs.archil.com/concepts/shared-disks) for the checkout-based concurrency model.


# Cloud buckets
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/storage/cloud-buckets



To connect a bucket for storing data from the sandbox, we will use the FUSE file system to mount the bucket to the sandbox.

You will need to create a custom sandbox template with the FUSE file system installed. The guide for building a custom sandbox template can be found [here](/template/quickstart).

## Google Cloud Storage

### Prerequisites

To use Google Cloud Storage, you'll need a bucket and a service account. You can create a service account [here](https://console.cloud.google.com/iam-admin/serviceaccounts) and a bucket [here](https://console.cloud.google.com/storage).

If you want to write to the bucket, make sure the service account has the `Storage Object User` role for this bucket.

You can find a guide on creating a service account key [here](https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/keys-create-delete#iam-service-account-keys-create-console).

### Mounting the bucket

To use the Google Cloud Storage we need to install the `gcsfuse` package. There's simple [template](/template/quickstart) that can be used to create a container with the `gcsfuse` installed.

<CodeGroup>
  ```ts JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  const template = Template()
    .fromTemplate("code-interpreter-v1")
    .aptInstall(["gnupg", "lsb-release"])
    .runCmd("lsb_release -c -s > /tmp/lsb_release")
    .runCmd(
      'GCSFUSE_REPO=$(cat /tmp/lsb_release) && echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/cloud.google.asc] https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt gcsfuse-$GCSFUSE_REPO main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gcsfuse.list',
    )
    .runCmd(
      "curl https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt/doc/apt-key.gpg | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/cloud.google.asc",
    )
    .aptInstall(["gcsfuse"])
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  template = (
      Template()
      .from_template("code-interpreter-v1")
      .apt_install(["gnupg", "lsb-release"])
      .run_cmd("lsb_release -c -s > /tmp/lsb_release")
      .run_cmd(
          'GCSFUSE_REPO=$(cat /tmp/lsb_release) && echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/cloud.google.asc] https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt gcsfuse-$GCSFUSE_REPO main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gcsfuse.list'
      )
      .run_cmd(
          "curl https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt/doc/apt-key.gpg | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/cloud.google.asc"
      )
      .apt_install(["gcsfuse"])
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

The bucket is mounted during the sandbox runtime using the `gcsfuse` command.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create('<your template id>')
  await sandbox.files.makeDir('/home/user/bucket')
  await sandbox.files.write('key.json', '<your service account key>')

  await sandbox.commands.run('sudo gcsfuse <flags> --key-file /home/user/key.json <bucket-name> /home/user/bucket')
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create("<your template id>")
  sandbox.files.make_dir("/home/user/bucket")
  sandbox.files.write("key.json", "<your key file content>")

  output = sandbox.commands.run(
      "sudo gcsfuse <flags> --key-file /home/user/key.json <bucket-name> /home/user/bucket"
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Flags

The complete list of flags is available [here](https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/gcsfuse-cli#options).

### Allow the default user to access the files

To allow the default user to access the files, we can use the following flags:

```
-o allow_other -file-mode=777 -dir-mode=777
```

## Amazon S3

To use Amazon S3, we can use the `s3fs` package. The [template](/template/quickstart) setup is similar to that of Google Cloud Storage.

<CodeGroup>
  ```ts JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  const template = Template()
    .fromImage("ubuntu:latest")
    .aptInstall(["s3fs"])
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  template = (
      Template()
      .from_image("ubuntu:latest")
      .apt_install(["s3fs"])
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

Similar to Google Cloud Storage, the bucket is mounted during the runtime of the sandbox. The `s3fs` command is used to mount the bucket to the sandbox.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create('<your template id>')
  await sandbox.files.makeDir('/home/user/bucket')

  // Create a file with the credentials
  // If you use another path for the credentials you need to add the path in the command s3fs command
  await sandbox.files.write('/root/.passwd-s3fs', '<AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID>:<AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY>')
  await sandbox.commands.run('sudo chmod 600 /root/.passwd-s3fs')

  await sandbox.commands.run('sudo s3fs <flags> <bucket-name> /home/user/bucket')
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create("<your template id>")
  sandbox.files.make_dir("/home/user/bucket")

  # Create a file with the credentials
  # If you use another path for the credentials you need to add the path in the command s3fs command
  sandbox.files.write("/root/.passwd-s3fs", "<AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID>:<AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY>")
  sandbox.commands.run("sudo chmod 600 /root/.passwd-s3fs")

  sandbox.commands.run("sudo s3fs <flags> <bucket-name> /home/user/bucket")
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Flags

The complete list of flags is available [here](https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xenial/man1/s3fs.1.html).

### Allow the default user to access the files

To allow the default user to access the files, add the following flag:

```
-o allow_other
```

## Cloudflare R2

For Cloudflare R2, we can use a setup very similar to S3. The template remains the same as for S3. However, the mounting differs slightly; we need to specify the endpoint for R2.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create({ template: '<your template id>' })
  await sandbox.files.makeDir('/home/user/bucket')

  // Create a file with the R2 credentials
  // If you use another path for the credentials you need to add the path in the command s3fs command
  await sandbox.files.write('/root/.passwd-s3fs', '<R2_ACCESS_KEY_ID>:<R2_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY>')
  await sandbox.commands.run('sudo chmod 600 /root/.passwd-s3fs')

  await sandbox.commands.run('sudo s3fs -o url=https://<ACCOUNT ID>.r2.cloudflarestorage.com <flags> <bucket-name> /home/user/bucket')
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create("<your template id>")
  sandbox.files.make_dir("/home/user/bucket")

  # Create a file with the R2 credentials
  # If you use another path for the credentials you need to add the path in the command s3fs command
  sandbox.files.write("/root/.passwd-s3fs", "<R2_ACCESS_KEY_ID>:<R2_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY>")
  sandbox.commands.run("sudo chmod 600 /root/.passwd-s3fs")

  sandbox.commands.run(
      "sudo s3fs -o url=https://<ACCOUNT ID>.r2.cloudflarestorage.com <flags> <bucket-name> /home/user/bucket"
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Flags

It's the same as for S3.

# Base image
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/template/base-image

How to define a base image for your template

## Creating template

When creating a template, you can specify options:

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  const template = Template({
    fileContextPath: ".", // Custom file context path
    fileIgnorePatterns: [".git", "node_modules"], // File patterns to ignore
  });
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  template = Template(
      file_context_path=".",  # Custom file context path
      file_ignore_patterns=[".git", "node_modules"],  # File patterns to ignore
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

**File ignoring**: The SDK automatically reads `.dockerignore` files and combines them with your `fileIgnorePatterns` (TypeScript) or `file_ignore_patterns` (Python). Files matching these patterns are excluded from uploads and hash calculations.

## Defining base image

Every template starts with a base image that provides the foundation for your sandbox environment. E2B identifies the image's distribution from its `/etc/os-release`.

**Supported:** Debian/Ubuntu, Fedora and the RHEL family (including Rocky Linux and AlmaLinux), Arch, and Alpine.

**Not supported:**

* Images with no identifiable distribution (no `/etc/os-release`), such as `scratch`, distroless, or pure `nixos/nix`.
* Minimal images missing required packages, such as RHEL UBI-minimal with restricted repositories.

Unsupported images fail the build with a clear error naming the reason.

<Warning>
  For NixOS, use the official [`e2bdev/nixos`](#nixos-base-image) image instead of a raw NixOS image.
</Warning>

### Predefined base images

Use convenience methods for common base images with Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Alpine, Arch, Python, Node.js, or Bun:

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  template.fromUbuntuImage("22.04"); // ubuntu:22.04
  template.fromDebianImage("stable-slim"); // debian:stable-slim
  template.fromFedoraImage("44"); // fedora:44
  template.fromAlpineImage("3.24"); // alpine:3.24
  template.fromArchImage("base-devel"); // archlinux:base-devel
  template.fromPythonImage("3.13"); // python:3.13
  template.fromNodeImage("lts"); // node:lts
  template.fromBunImage("1.3"); // oven/bun:1.3
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  template.from_ubuntu_image("22.04")  # ubuntu:22.04
  template.from_debian_image("stable-slim")  # debian:stable-slim
  template.from_fedora_image("44")  # fedora:44
  template.from_alpine_image("3.24")  # alpine:3.24
  template.from_arch_image("base-devel")  # archlinux:base-devel
  template.from_python_image("3.13")  # python:3.13
  template.from_node_image("lts")  # node:lts
  template.from_bun_image("1.3")  # oven/bun:1.3
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Custom base image

Use any Docker image from Docker Hub or other registries:

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  template.fromImage("custom-image:latest");
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  template.from_image("custom-image:latest")
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Default E2B base image

Use the default E2B base image, which comes pre-configured for sandbox environments:

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  template.fromBaseImage(); // e2bdev/base
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  template.from_base_image()  # e2bdev/base
  ```
</CodeGroup>

`base` is also the template used when you call `Sandbox.create()` without specifying one. It is Debian-based and comes with common tooling pre-installed: Python 3, Node.js, Yarn, `git`, `curl`, `build-essential`, and the GitHub CLI (`gh`). For the exact contents, see the public Dockerfile: [`templates/base/e2b.Dockerfile`](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/blob/main/templates/base/e2b.Dockerfile).

### NixOS base image

Arbitrary [NixOS](https://nixos.org/) images (such as `nixos/nix`) aren't supported directly, because they don't expose the `/etc/os-release` metadata E2B needs to identify the distribution. To build NixOS-based sandboxes, use the official `e2bdev/nixos` image, which E2B prepares to work with the sandbox environment:

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  template.fromImage("e2bdev/nixos");
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  template.from_image("e2bdev/nixos")
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Default resources

A sandbox gets its CPU and memory from the template it's built on. A sandbox built from `base` starts with **2 vCPU and 512 MiB of RAM**.

You can override CPU and memory when you [build a template](/template/build) (`cpuCount`/`cpu_count`, `memoryMB`/`memory_mb`). Disk size is not a default you set per sandbox; it's determined by your project's tier limit and applied at build time (see [Build limits](/template/quickstart#build-limits)).

### Build from existing template

Extend an existing template from your project or organization:

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  template.fromTemplate("my-template"); // Your project's template
  template.fromTemplate("acme/other-template"); // Full namespaced reference
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  template.from_template("my-template")  # Your project's template
  template.from_template("acme/other-template")  # Full namespaced reference
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Note>
  You can only call base image methods once per template. Subsequent calls will throw an error.
</Note>

## Parsing existing Dockerfiles

Convert existing Dockerfiles to template format using `fromDockerfile()`:

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  const dockerfileContent = `
  FROM ubuntu:22.04
  RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y curl
  WORKDIR /app
  COPY . .
  ENV NODE_ENV=production
  ENV PORT=3000
  USER appuser`;

  const template = Template()
    .fromDockerfile(dockerfileContent)
    .setStartCmd("npm start", waitForTimeout(5_000));
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  dockerfile_content = """
  FROM ubuntu:22.04
  RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y curl
  WORKDIR /app
  COPY . .
  ENV NODE_ENV=production
  ENV PORT=3000
  USER appuser
  """

  template = (
      Template()
      .from_dockerfile(dockerfile_content)
      .set_start_cmd("npm start", wait_for_timeout(5_000))
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Dockerfile instructions support

# Build
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/template/build

How to build the template

## Build and wait for completion

The `build` method builds the template and waits for the build to complete. It returns build information including the template ID and build ID.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript wrap theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  const buildInfo = await Template.build(template, 'my-template', {
    cpuCount: 2, // CPU cores
    memoryMB: 2048, // Memory in MB
    minFreeDiskMb: 2048, // Minimum free disk space after the build, in MiB
    skipCache: false, // Configure cache skip (except for files)
    onBuildLogs: defaultBuildLogger(), // Log callback receives LogEntry objects
    apiKey: 'your-api-key', // Override API key
    domain: 'your-domain', // Override domain
  })

  // buildInfo contains: { name, templateId, buildId }
  ```

  ```python Python wrap theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  build_info = Template.build(
      template,
      'my-template',
      cpu_count=2,  # CPU cores
      memory_mb=2048,  # Memory in MB
      min_free_disk_mb=2048,  # Minimum free disk space after the build, in MiB
      skip_cache=False,  # Configure cache skip (except for files)
      on_build_logs=default_build_logger(),  # Log callback receives LogEntry objects
      api_key="your-api-key",  # Override API key
      domain="your-domain",  # Override domain
  )

  # build_info contains: BuildInfo(name, template_id, build_id)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Minimum free disk space

Use `minFreeDiskMb` in JavaScript or `min_free_disk_mb` in Python to request minimum free disk space after the template's build steps finish. This option is available in the JavaScript and Python SDKs starting with version `2.49.0`, including Python's sync and async build methods.

* Omit the option to use your team's default.
* Set it to `0` to request no minimum free disk growth.
* Set a positive integer to request that much free space, in MiB.

With CLI version `2.19.0` or later, use:

```sh theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
e2b template create my-template --min-free-disk-mb 2048
```

<Note>
  This is a free-space target for a template build, not a total disk-size setting or an option on `Sandbox.create`. The resulting filesystem includes space used by the template as well as its free space. `diskSizeMB` is an API response field, not a build input. See [Build limits](/template/quickstart#build-limits) for tier limits.
</Note>

## Build in background

The `buildInBackground` method starts the build process and returns immediately without waiting for completion. This is useful when you want to trigger a build and check its status later.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript wrap theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  const buildInfo = await Template.buildInBackground(template, 'my-template', {
    cpuCount: 2,
    memoryMB: 2048,
  })

  // Returns immediately with: { name, templateId, buildId }
  ```

  ```python Python wrap theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  build_info = Template.build_in_background(
      template,
      'my-template',
      cpu_count=2,
      memory_mb=2048,
  )

  # Returns immediately with: BuildInfo(name, template_id, build_id)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Check build status

Use `getBuildStatus` to check the status of a build started with `buildInBackground`.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript wrap theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  const status = await Template.getBuildStatus(buildInfo, {
    logsOffset: 0, // Optional: offset for fetching logs
  })

  // status contains: { status: 'building' | 'ready' | 'error', logEntries: [...] }
  ```

  ```python Python wrap theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  status = Template.get_build_status(
      build_info,
      logs_offset=0,  # Optional: offset for fetching logs
  )

  # status contains build status and logs
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Example: Background build with status polling

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript wrap theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  // Start build in background
  const buildInfo = await Template.buildInBackground(template, 'my-template', {
    cpuCount: 2,
    memoryMB: 2048,
  })

  // Poll for build status
  let logsOffset = 0
  let status = 'building'

  while (status === 'building') {
    const buildStatus = await Template.getBuildStatus(buildInfo, {

# Caching
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/template/caching

How the caching process works

The caching concept is similar to [Docker's layer caching](https://docs.docker.com/build/cache/). For each layer command (`.copy()`, `.runCmd()`, `.setEnvs()`, etc.), we create a new layer on top of the existing.
Each layer is cached based on the command and its inputs (e.g., files copied, command executed, environment variables set).
If a layer command is unchanged and its inputs are the same as in any previous build, we reuse the cached layer instead of rebuilding it.

This significantly speeds up the build process, especially for large templates with many layers.
The cache is scoped to the project, so even if you have multiple templates, they can share the same cache if they have identical layers.

## Invalidation

You can invalidate the caches only partially, or for the whole template.

### Partial

Force rebuild from the next instruction, use the method:

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript highlight={3} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  const template = Template()
    .fromBaseImage()
    .skipCache()
    .runCmd("echo 'Hello, World!'")
  ```

  ```python Python highlight={4} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  template = (
      Template()
      .from_base_image()
      .skip_cache()
      .run_cmd("echo 'Hello, World!'")
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

This will force rebuild from the next instruction, invalidating the cache for all subsequent instructions in the template.

### Whole template

To force rebuild the whole template, you can use also `skipCache`/`skip_cache` parameter in the `Template.build` method:

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript wrap highlight={2} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  Template.build(template, 'my-template', {
    skipCache: true, // Configure cache skip (except for files)
  })
  ```

  ```python Python wrap highlight={4} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  Template.build(
      template,
      'my-template',
      skip_cache=True,  # Configure cache skip (except for files)
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

This will skip the cache usage for the whole template build.

## Files caching

When using the `.copy()` command, we cache the files based on their content. If the files haven't changed since the last build, we reuse them from the files cache.

We differ from Docker here. Because we build the template on our infrastructure, we use improved caching on files level.
Even if you invalidate the layer before `.copy()` (e.g., by changing ENV variables), we'll reuse the already uploaded files.
The `copy()` command will still be re-executed, but the files for the layer will be reused from the files cache, no need to upload them from your computer again.

To invalidate the cache for all subsequent instructions in the template **AND** the layer files cache, use the `forceUpload`/`force_upload` parameter.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript highlight={3} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  const template = Template()
    .fromBaseImage()
    .copy("config.json", "/app/config.json", { forceUpload: true })
  ```

  ```python Python highlight={4} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  template = (
      Template()
      .from_base_image()
      .copy("config.json", "/app/config.json", force_upload=True)
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Use case for caching

You can leverage caching to create templates with multiple variants (e.g., different RAM or CPU) while reusing the common layers.
When building the template, just change the template name to a specific RAM/CPU configuration (e.g., `my-template-2cpu-2gb`, `my-template-1cpu-4gb`), keep the rest of the template definition the same, and the build process will reuse the cached layers.

## Optimize build times

To optimize build times, place frequently changing commands (e.g., copying source code) towards the end of your template definition. This way, earlier layers can be cached and reused more often.


# Defining template
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/template/defining-template

How to create your own template

### Method chaining

All template methods return the template instance, allowing for fluent API usage:

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  const template = Template()
    .fromUbuntuImage("22.04")
    .aptInstall(["curl"]) // necessary for waitForPort
    .setWorkdir('/app')
    .copy("package.json", "/app/package.json")
    .runCmd("npm install")
    .setStartCmd("npm start", waitForPort(3000));
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  template = (
      Template()
      .from_ubuntu_image("22.04")
      .set_workdir("/app")
      .copy("package.json", "/app/package.json")
      .run_cmd("npm install")
      .set_start_cmd("npm start", wait_for_timeout(10_000)))
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### User and workdir

Set the working directory and user for the template:

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  // Set working directory
  template.setWorkdir("/app");

  // Set user (runs subsequent commands as this user)
  template.setUser('node')
  template.setUser("1000:1000"); // User ID and group ID
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  # Set working directory
  template.set_workdir("/app")

  # Set user (runs subsequent commands as this user)
  template.set_user("node")
  template.set_user("1000:1000")  # User ID and group ID
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Copying files

Copy files from your local filesystem to the template:

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  // Copy a single file
  template.copy("package.json", "/app/package.json");

  // Copy multiple files to same destination
  template.copy(["file1", "file2"], "/app/file")

  // Multiple copy operations using copyItems
  template.copyItems([
    { src: "src/", dest: "/app/src/" },
    { src: "package.json", dest: "/app/package.json" },
  ]);

  // Copy with user and mode options
  template.copy("config.json", "/app/config.json", {
    user: "appuser",
    mode: 0o644,
  });
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  # Copy a single file
  template.copy("package.json", "/app/package.json")

  # Copy multiple files to the same destination
  template.copy(["file1", "file2"], "/app/file")

  # Multiple copy operations using copy_items
  template.copy_items([
      {"src": "src/", "dest": "/app/src/"},
      {"src": "package.json", "dest": "/app/package.json"},
  ])

  # Copy with user and mode options
  template.copy("config.json", "/app/config.json", user="appuser", mode=0o644)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### File operations

Perform various file operations during template build:

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  // Remove files or directories
  template.remove("/tmp/temp-file.txt");
  template.remove("/old-directory", { recursive: true });
  template.remove("/file.txt", { force: true });

  // Rename files or directories
  template.rename("/old-name.txt", "/new-name.txt");
  template.rename("/old-dir", "/new-dir", { force: true });

  // Create directories
  template.makeDir("/app/logs");
  template.makeDir("/app/data", { mode: 0o755 });

  // Create symbolic links
  template.makeSymlink("/app/data", "/app/logs/data");
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  # Remove files or directories
  template.remove("/tmp/old-file")
  template.remove("/tmp/old-dir", recursive=True)
  template.remove("/tmp/file", force=True)  # Force removal

  # Rename files or directories
  template.rename("/old/path", "/new/path")
  template.rename("/old/path", "/new/path", force=True)  # Force rename

  # Create directories
  template.make_dir("/app/data")
  template.make_dir("/app/data", mode=0o755)  # Set permissions

  # Create symbolic links
  template.make_symlink("/path/to/target", "/path/to/link")
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  // Install Python packages
  template.pipInstall(['requests', 'pandas', 'numpy'])

  // Install Python packages (user)
  template.pipInstall(['requests', 'pandas', 'numpy'], { g: false })

# Desktop
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/template/examples/desktop

Sandbox with Ubuntu Desktop and VNC access

This template creates a sandbox with a full Ubuntu 22.04 desktop environment, including the XFCE desktop, common applications, and VNC streaming for remote access. It's ideal for building AI agents that need to interact with graphical user interfaces.

The template includes:

* **Ubuntu 22.04** with XFCE desktop environment
* **VNC streaming** via [noVNC](https://novnc.com/) for browser-based access
* **Pre-installed applications**: LibreOffice, text editors, file manager, and common utilities
* **Automation tools**: [xdotool](https://github.com/jordansissel/xdotool) and [scrot](https://github.com/resurrecting-open-source-projects/scrot) for programmatic desktop control

## Template definition

The template installs the desktop environment, sets up VNC streaming via [x11vnc](https://github.com/LibVNC/x11vnc) and noVNC, and configures a startup script.

              "git clone --branch v0.12.0 https://github.com/novnc/websockify /opt/noVNC/utils/websockify",
          ]
      )
      # Set default terminal
      .run_cmd(
          "ln -sf /usr/bin/xfce4-terminal.wrapper /etc/alternatives/x-terminal-emulator"
      )
      # Copy the start command
      .copy("start_command.sh", "/start_command.sh")
      .run_cmd("chmod +x /start_command.sh")
      # Set start command to launch the desktop environment
      .set_start_cmd("/start_command.sh", wait_for_port(6080))
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Startup script

The startup script initializes the virtual display using [Xvfb](https://www.x.org/releases/X11R7.6/doc/man/man1/Xvfb.1.xhtml) (X Virtual Framebuffer), launches the XFCE desktop session, starts the VNC server, and exposes the desktop via noVNC on port 6080. This script runs automatically when the sandbox starts.

```bash start_command.sh theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
#!/bin/bash

# Set display
export DISPLAY=${DISPLAY:-:0}

# Start Xvfb
Xvfb $DISPLAY -ac -screen 0 1024x768x24 -nolisten tcp &
sleep 2

# Start XFCE session
startxfce4 &
sleep 5

# Start VNC server
x11vnc -bg -display $DISPLAY -forever -wait 50 -shared -rfbport 5900 -nopw \
    -noxdamage -noxfixes -nowf -noscr -ping 1 -repeat -speeds lan &
sleep 2

# Start noVNC server
cd /opt/noVNC/utils && ./novnc_proxy --vnc localhost:5900 --listen 6080 --web /opt/noVNC --heartbeat 30 &
sleep 2
```

## Building the template

Build the template with increased CPU and memory allocation to handle the desktop environment installation. The build process may take several minutes due to the size of the packages being installed.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  // build.ts
  import { Template, defaultBuildLogger } from 'e2b'
  import { template as desktopTemplate } from './template'

  await Template.build(desktopTemplate, 'desktop', {
    cpuCount: 8,
    memoryMB: 8192,
    onBuildLogs: defaultBuildLogger(),
  })
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  # build.py
  from e2b import Template, default_build_logger
  from .template import template as desktopTemplate

  Template.build(desktopTemplate, 'desktop',
      cpu_count=8,
      memory_mb=8192,
      on_build_logs=default_build_logger(),
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>


# Docker
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/template/examples/docker

Sandbox with Docker or Docker Compose installed for running containers

## Docker

### Template

Use the official installation script from [get.docker.com](https://get.docker.com). The `hello-world` container run validates the installation.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  // template.ts
  import { Template } from 'e2b'

  export const template = Template()
    .fromUbuntuImage('24.04')
    .runCmd('curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com | sudo sh')
    .runCmd('sudo docker run --rm hello-world')
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  # template.py
  from e2b import Template

  template = (
      Template()
      .from_ubuntu_image("24.04")
      .run_cmd("curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com | sudo sh")
      .run_cmd("sudo docker run --rm hello-world")
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Build

We recommend at least 2 CPUs and 2 GB of RAM for running Docker containers. **With lower RAM, your sandbox might run out of memory.**

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  // build.ts
  import { Template, defaultBuildLogger } from 'e2b'
  import { template as dockerTemplate } from './template'

  Template.build(dockerTemplate, 'docker', {
    cpuCount: 2,
    memoryMB: 2048,
    onBuildLogs: defaultBuildLogger(),
  })
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  # build.py
  from e2b import Template, default_build_logger
  from .template import template as dockerTemplate

  Template.build(dockerTemplate, 'docker',
      cpu_count=2,
      memory_mb=2048,
      on_build_logs=default_build_logger(),
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Run

Run an Alpine container that prints a hello message.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  // sandbox.ts
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sbx = await Sandbox.create('docker')

  const result = await sbx.commands.run('sudo docker run --rm alpine echo "Hello from Alpine!"')
  console.log(result.stdout)

  await sbx.kill()
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  # sandbox.py
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sbx = Sandbox.create('docker')

  result = sbx.commands.run('sudo docker run --rm alpine echo "Hello from Alpine!"')
  print(result.stdout)

  sbx.kill()
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Docker Compose

This example installs Docker and Docker Compose, then validates the setup with a Compose version check and a sample Compose run.

### Template

Create a new file named `template-compose.ts` (or `template_compose.py`).

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  // template-compose.ts
  import { Template } from 'e2b'

  export const composeTemplate = Template()
    .fromUbuntuImage('24.04')
    .runCmd([
      'set -euxo pipefail',
      'sudo apt-get update',
      'sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install -y docker.io',
      'sudo usermod -aG docker user',
      'sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install -y docker-compose-plugin || true',
      'sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install -y docker-compose-v2 || true',
      'sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install -y docker-compose || true',
      'sudo docker compose version || sudo docker-compose --version',
    ])
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  # template_compose.py
  from e2b import Template

  compose_template = (
      Template()
      .from_ubuntu_image("24.04")
      .run_cmd(
          [
              "set -euxo pipefail",
              "sudo apt-get update",
              "sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install -y docker.io",
              "sudo usermod -aG docker user",
              "sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install -y docker-compose-plugin || true",
              "sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install -y docker-compose-v2 || true",
              "sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install -y docker-compose || true",
              "sudo docker compose version || sudo docker-compose --version",
          ]
      )
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

Expected result: you now have a local `template-compose.ts` or `template_compose.py` file.

### Build

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  // build-compose.ts
  import { Template, defaultBuildLogger } from 'e2b'
  import { composeTemplate } from './template-compose'

  Template.build(composeTemplate, 'docker-compose', {
    cpuCount: 2,
    memoryMB: 2048,
    onBuildLogs: defaultBuildLogger(),
  })
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  # build_compose.py
  from e2b import Template, default_build_logger

      cpu_count=2,
      memory_mb=2048,
      on_build_logs=default_build_logger(),

# How it works
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/template/how-it-works

How the template building process works

## General overview

Every time you are building a sandbox template, we create a container based on the definition.
We extract the container's filesystem, do provisioning and configuration (e.g. installing required dependencies), run layers commands and start a sandbox.

Then, these steps happen:

1. We take the running sandbox.
2. (Only if you specified the [start command](/template/start-ready-command#start-command), otherwise this step is skipped) Execute the start command.
3. Wait for readiness (by default 20 seconds if start command is specified, otherwise immediately ready). Readiness check can be configured using [ready command](/template/start-ready-command#ready-command).
4. Snapshot the sandbox and make it ready for you to spawn it with the SDK.

We call this sandbox snapshot a *sandbox template*.

<Note title="Sandbox snapshot">
  Snapshots are saved running sandboxes. We serialize and save the whole sandbox's filesystem together with all the
  running processes in a way that can be loaded later.

  This allows us to load the sandbox in \~80ms any time later with all the processes already running
  and the filesystem exactly as it was.
</Note>

## Default user and workdir

To learn more about default user and workdir, please refer to the [User and workdir](/template/user-and-workdir) section.

## Caching

To learn more about caching, please refer to the [Caching](/template/caching) section.

## Kernel

E2B sandboxes run on an **LTS 6.1 Linux kernel**.\
The exact kernel version available in your sandbox depends on **when your template was built**:

| Template build date (DD.MM.YYYY) | Kernel version |
| - | - |
| ≥ 27.11.2025 | 6.1.158 (current) |
| \< 27.11.2025 | 6.1.102 |

> **Note:**\
> Kernel versions are fixed at **template build time**.\
> If your template was created on an older kernel, **the kernel cannot be upgraded or changed** for that template.\
> To use a newer kernel, you must **rebuild the template** or create a new one.

You can find the kernel configuration files for each version [here](https://github.com/e2b-dev/fc-kernels/tree/main/configs).


# Logging
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/template/logging

How to view logs from the template build

You can retrieve the build logs using the SDK.

## Default logger

We provide a default logger that you can use to filter logs by level:

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Template, defaultBuildLogger } from 'e2b';

  await Template.build(template, 'my-template', {
    onBuildLogs: defaultBuildLogger({
      minLevel: "info", // Minimum log level to show
    }),
  });
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Template, default_build_logger

  Template.build(
      template,
      'my-template',
      on_build_logs=default_build_logger(
          min_level="info",  # Minimum log level to show
      )
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Custom logger

You can customize how logs are handled:

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  // Simple logging
  onBuildLogs: (logEntry) => console.log(logEntry.toString());

  // Custom formatting
  onBuildLogs: (logEntry) => {
    const time = logEntry.timestamp.toISOString();
    console.log(`[${time}] ${logEntry.level.toUpperCase()}: ${logEntry.message}`);
  };

  // Filter by log level
  onBuildLogs: (logEntry) => {
    if (logEntry.level === "error" || logEntry.level === "warn") {
      console.error(logEntry.toString());
    }
  };
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  # Simple logging
  on_build_logs=lambda log_entry: print(log_entry)

  # Custom formatting
  def custom_logger(log_entry):
      time = log_entry.timestamp.isoformat()
      print(f"[{time}] {log_entry.level.upper()}: {log_entry.message}")

  Template.build(template, 'my-template', on_build_logs=custom_logger)

  # Filter by log level
  def error_logger(log_entry):
      if log_entry.level in ["error", "warn"]:
          print(f"ERROR/WARNING: {log_entry}", file=sys.stderr)

  Template.build(template, 'my-template', on_build_logs=error_logger)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

The `onBuildLogs`/`on_build_logs` callback receives structured `LogEntry` objects with the following properties:

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  type LogEntryLevel = 'debug' | 'info' | 'warn' | 'error'

  class LogEntry {
    constructor(
      public readonly timestamp: Date,
      public readonly level: LogEntryLevel,
      public readonly message: string
    )

    toString() // Returns formatted log string
  }

  // Indicates the start of the build process
  class LogEntryStart extends LogEntry {
    constructor(timestamp: Date, message: string) {
      super(timestamp, 'debug', message)
    }
  }

  // Indicates the end of the build process
  class LogEntryEnd extends LogEntry {
    constructor(timestamp: Date, message: string) {
      super(timestamp, 'debug', message)
    }
  }
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  LogEntryLevel = Literal["debug", "info", "warn", "error"]

  @dataclass
  class LogEntry:
      timestamp: datetime
      level: LogEntryLevel
      message: str

      def __str__(self) -> str:  # Returns formatted log string


  # Indicates the start of the build process
  @dataclass
  class LogEntryStart(LogEntry):
      level: LogEntryLevel = field(default="debug", init=False)

  # Indicates the end of the build process
  @dataclass
  class LogEntryEnd(LogEntry):
      level: LogEntryLevel = field(default="debug", init=False)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

Together with the `LogEntry` type, there are also `LogEntryStart` and `LogEntryEnd` types that indicate the start and end of the build process. Their default log level is `debug` and you can use them to like this:

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  if (logEntry instanceof LogEntryStart) {
    // Build started
    return
  }

  if (logEntry instanceof LogEntryEnd) {
    // Build ended
    return
  }
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  if isinstance(log_entry, LogEntryStart):
      # Build started
      return

  if isinstance(log_entry, LogEntryEnd):
      # Build ended
      return

  ```
</CodeGroup>


# Template names
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/template/names

Understanding and managing template names

Template names are unique identifiers used to reference and create sandboxes from your templates. They serve as human-readable names that make it easy to identify and use your templates across your applications.

## What is a template name?

A name is a string identifier that you assign to a template when building it. Once a template is built with a name, you can use that name to create sandboxes from the template.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  // Build a template with a name
  await Template.build(template, 'my-python-env', {
    cpuCount: 2,
    memoryMB: 2048,
  })

  // Create a sandbox using the name
  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create('my-python-env')
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  # Build a template with a name
  Template.build(
      template,
      'my-python-env',
      cpu_count=2,
      memory_mb=2048,
  )

  # Create a sandbox using the name
  sandbox = Sandbox.create('my-python-env')
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Name format

Before a name is used, it's trimmed of surrounding whitespace and lowercased. The result must match the pattern `^[a-z0-9-_]+$`:

* Lowercase letters (`a`–`z`), numbers (`0`–`9`), dashes (`-`), and underscores (`_`)
* Between 1 and 128 characters
* Leading and trailing dashes or underscores are allowed

Uppercase letters are accepted on input and lowercased automatically, so `My-Template` and `my-template` refer to the same name. Any other character (spaces inside the name, dots, slashes, and so on) is rejected.

## Project-local naming

Template names are scoped to your project. This means:

* Your template named `my-app` is stored as `your-project-slug/my-app`
* You can reference it simply as `my-app` within your project
* Other projects can have their own `my-app` template without conflict
* Public templates should be referenced using the full namespaced format (`project-slug/template-name`)

<Info>
  **Backwards Compatibility**: Existing public templates remain accessible without the project slug prefix. New public templates should be referenced using the full namespaced format (`project-slug/template-name`).
</Info>

## Common use cases

### Development and production environments

Use different names for different environments:

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  // Development template
  await Template.build(template, 'myapp-dev', {
    cpuCount: 1,
    memoryMB: 1024,
  })

  // Production template
  await Template.build(template, 'myapp-prod', {
    cpuCount: 4,
    memoryMB: 4096,
  })
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  # Development template
  Template.build(
      template,
      'myapp-dev',
      cpu_count=1,
      memory_mb=1024,
  )

  # Production template
  Template.build(
      template,
      'myapp-prod',
      cpu_count=4,
      memory_mb=4096,
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Multiple template variants

Create different variants of the same template with different configurations:

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  // Small instance
  await Template.build(template, 'myapp-small', {
    cpuCount: 1,
    memoryMB: 512,
  })

  // Large instance
  await Template.build(template, 'myapp-large', {
    cpuCount: 8,
    memoryMB: 8192,
  })
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  # Small instance
  Template.build(
      template,
      'myapp-small',
      cpu_count=1,
      memory_mb=512,
  )

  # Large instance
  Template.build(
      template,
      'myapp-large',
      cpu_count=8,
      memory_mb=8192,
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Tip>
  When building variants with the same template definition but different CPU/RAM configurations, E2B's caching system will reuse common layers, making subsequent builds much faster.
</Tip>

## Checking name availability

You can check if a name is already in use within your project with the `exists` method.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Template } from 'e2b'

  const exists = await Template.exists('my-template')
  console.log(`Name ${exists ? 'is taken' : 'is available'}`)
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Template

  exists = Template.exists('my-template')
  print(f"Name {'is taken' if exists else 'is available'}")
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Best practices

1. **Use descriptive names**: Choose names that clearly indicate the template's purpose or configuration
2. **Use tags for versioning**: Instead of baking version numbers into names, use [tags](/template/tags) for version management (e.g., `myapp:v1`, `myapp:v2`)
3. **Use consistent naming**: Establish a naming convention for your project and stick to it


# Private registries
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/template/private-registries

Access private registries as the base image

If your base image is hosted in a private registry, you can provide credentials using the following helpers:

* General registry
* GCP Artifact Registry
* AWS ECR

## General registry

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  Template().fromImage('ubuntu:22.04', {
    username: 'user',
    password: 'pass',
  })
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  Template().from_image(
      image="ubuntu:22.04",
      username="user",
      password="pass",
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## GCP Artifact Registry

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  // From file path
  Template().fromGCPRegistry('ubuntu:22.04', {
    serviceAccountJSON: './service_account.json',
  })

  // From object
  Template().fromGCPRegistry('ubuntu:22.04', {
    serviceAccountJSON: { project_id: '123', private_key_id: '456' },
  })
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  # From file path
  Template().from_gcp_registry(
      image="ubuntu:22.04",
      service_account_json="./service_account.json",
  )

  # From object
  Template().from_gcp_registry(
      image="ubuntu:22.04",
      service_account_json={"project_id": "123", "private_key_id": "456"},
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## AWS ECR

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  Template().fromAWSRegistry('ubuntu:22.04', {
    accessKeyId: '123',
    secretAccessKey: '456',
    region: 'us-west-1',
  })
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  Template().from_aws_registry(
      image="ubuntu:22.04",
      access_key_id="123",
      secret_access_key="456",
      region="us-west-1",
  )
  ```

# Quickstart
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/template/quickstart

Start with custom sandbox templates

E2B templates allow you to define custom sandboxes.
You can define the base image, environment variables, files to copy, commands to run, and
a [start command](/template/start-ready-command#start-command) that runs during the template build and is captured in a snapshot — so the process is **already running** when you create a sandbox from that template.
This gives you fully configured sandboxes with running processes ready to use with zero wait time for your users.

There are two ways how you can start creating a new template:

* using the CLI
* manually using the SDK

## CLI

You can use the E2B CLI to create a new template.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Install the E2B CLI">
    Install the latest version of the [E2B CLI](https://docs.e2b.dev/cli)
  </Step>

  <Step title="Initialize a new template">
    ```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
    e2b template init
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Follow the prompts">
    Follow the prompts to create a new template.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Done">
    Check the generated `README.md` file to see how to build and use your new template.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Manual

  export const template = Template()
    .fromBaseImage()
    .setEnvs({
      HELLO: "Hello, World!",
    })
    .setStartCmd("echo $HELLO", waitForTimeout(5_000));
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  # template.py
  from e2b import Template, wait_for_timeout

  template = (
      Template()
      .from_base_image()
      .set_envs(
          {
              "HELLO": "Hello, World!",

          on_build_logs=default_build_logger(),
      )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Create a production build script

  if __name__ == '__main__':
      Template.build(
          template,
          'template-tag',
          cpu_count=1,
          memory_mb=1024,
          on_build_logs=default_build_logger(),
      )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Build the template

Build the development template

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  npx tsx build.dev.ts
  ```

  ```bash Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  python build_dev.py
  ```
</CodeGroup>

Build the production template

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  npx tsx build.prod.ts
  ```

  ```bash Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  python build_prod.py
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Create a new Sandbox from the Template

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import 'dotenv/config';
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b';

  // Create a Sandbox from development template
  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create("template-tag-dev");

  // Create a Sandbox from production template
  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create("template-tag");
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from dotenv import load_dotenv
  from e2b import Sandbox

  load_dotenv()

  # Create a new Sandbox from the development template
  sbx = Sandbox(template="template-tag-dev")

  # Create a new Sandbox from the production template
  sbx = Sandbox(template="template-tag")
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Note>
  The template name is the identifier that can be used to create a new Sandbox.
</Note>

## Scaling templates

You can create a large number of templates with low overhead, for example one template per customer, per project, or per agent run. There's currently no limit on the number of templates, though pricing for total storage used by templates may be introduced in the future.

The template build environment is a full sandbox environment, so you can do anything during the build that you can do inside a running sandbox, including running Docker containers as part of the setup.

Compared to [snapshots](/sandbox/snapshots), templates start faster and use fewer resources because the guest OS is restarted before the long-running process is captured and prefetching is significantly more effective. If your workload involves spinning up many per-customer or per-project environments, prefer templates over snapshots.

### Layering templates with `fromTemplate`

When you build many similar templates (e.g. a customer-specific template per customer that all share the same base setup), use [`fromTemplate`](/sdk-reference/js-sdk/latest/template#fromtemplate) to start from an existing template instead of rebuilding the shared layers from scratch each time. This keeps per-customer builds fast and reuses the cached base.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Template } from 'e2b'

  // Per-customer template built on top of a shared base template
  export const template = Template()
    .fromTemplate('my-base-template')
    .copy('./customers/acme', '/app/config')
    .setEnvs({ CUSTOMER_ID: 'acme' })
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Template

  # Per-customer template built on top of a shared base template
  template = (
      Template()
      .from_template("my-base-template")
      .copy("./customers/acme", "/app/config")
      .set_envs({"CUSTOMER_ID": "acme"})
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Build limits

Template builds are subject to the following limits:

* **Max build duration**: Builds can run for **up to 1 hour**. If a build exceeds this, it will be terminated.
* **Max vCPUs per build**: 8 on Hobby, 8+ on Pro, custom on Enterprise.
* **Max memory per build**: 8 GiB on Hobby, 8+ GiB on Pro, custom on Enterprise.
* **Max disk size per build**: 10 GiB on Hobby, 20+ GiB on Pro, custom on Enterprise.
* **Concurrent builds**: 20 on Hobby and Pro, custom on Enterprise.

See [Billing & limits](/billing#plans) for the full list of plan limits. Need higher limits? Contact [support@e2b.dev](mailto:support@e2b.dev).


# Start & ready commands
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/template/start-ready-command

Define running processes for the sandbox

## Start command

The start command specifies a process that runs at the **end of the template build** — not when a sandbox is created.
During the build, E2B executes the start command, waits for the [ready command](#ready-command) to confirm the process is up, and then takes a [snapshot](/template/how-it-works) of the entire sandbox including the running process.

When you later create a sandbox from that template, the snapshotted process is **already running** — there is no startup wait.
This is how you get servers, seeded databases, or any long-running process available instantly when spawning sandboxes with the SDK.

<Note title="The start command does not run on sandbox creation">
  The start command runs **once during template build** and is captured in a snapshot. It does not re-execute each time you create a sandbox. If you need to run a command every time a sandbox is created, use `sandbox.commands.run()` after creating the sandbox instead.

  This also means that [environment variables passed to `Sandbox.create()`](/sandbox/environment-variables#1-global-environment-variables) are **not available** to the start command process — it already ran during the build. If your start command needs environment variables, set them in the template definition using `setEnvs()` / `set_envs()`.
</Note>

You can see the full build process [here](/template/how-it-works).

## Ready command

The ready command determines when the sandbox is ready before a [snapshot](/template/how-it-works) is created.
It is executed in an infinite loop until it returns a successful **exit code 0**.
This lets you control how long the build waits for the [start command](#start-command) or any other system state to be ready.

## `setStartCmd` / `set_start_cmd`

Use `setStartCmd` / `set_start_cmd` when you want to run a process during the template build **and** wait for it to be ready. This method accepts **two arguments**: the start command and the ready command.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Template, waitForPort, waitForURL, waitForTimeout } from 'e2b'

  // Start a Python HTTP server and wait for it to listen on port 8000
  const template = Template()
    .fromUbuntuImage("22.04")
    .aptInstall(["curl", "python3"])
    .setStartCmd('python3 -m http.server 8000', waitForPort(8000))
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Template, wait_for_port, wait_for_url, wait_for_timeout

  # Start a Python HTTP server and wait for it to listen on port 8000
  template = (
      Template()
      .from_ubuntu_image("22.04")
      .apt_install(["curl", "python3"])
      .set_start_cmd("python3 -m http.server 8000", wait_for_port(8000))
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

You can also pass a custom shell command as the ready command instead of using a helper:

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  // Start command with a custom ready command
  template.setStartCmd('npm start', 'curl -s http://localhost:3000/health')
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  # Start command with a custom ready command
  template.set_start_cmd("npm start", "curl -s http://localhost:3000/health")
  ```
</CodeGroup>

More examples:

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Template, waitForURL, waitForPort } from 'e2b'

  // Next.js app — wait for the dev server URL
  template.setStartCmd('npx next --turbo', waitForURL('http://localhost:3000'))

  // Python HTTP server — wait for port 8000
  template.setStartCmd('python -m http.server 8000', waitForPort(8000))

  // VNC desktop — wait for the VNC port
  template.setStartCmd('/start_command.sh', waitForPort(6080))
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Template, wait_for_url, wait_for_port

  # Next.js app — wait for the dev server URL
  template.set_start_cmd("npx next --turbo", wait_for_url("http://localhost:3000"))

  # Python HTTP server — wait for port 8000
  template.set_start_cmd("python -m http.server 8000", wait_for_port(8000))

  # VNC desktop — wait for the VNC port
  template.set_start_cmd("/start_command.sh", wait_for_port(6080))
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## `setReadyCmd` / `set_ready_cmd`

Use `setReadyCmd` / `set_ready_cmd` when you **don't need a start command** but still want to control when the sandbox snapshot is taken. This method accepts only **one argument**: the ready command.

This is useful when your template's build steps (e.g., `runCmd` / `run_cmd`) already start a background process or when you just need extra time for the system to settle before snapshotting.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Template, waitForTimeout, waitForPort, waitForFile } from 'e2b'

  // Wait 10 seconds before taking the snapshot
  const template = Template()
    .fromUbuntuImage("22.04")
    .runCmd("apt-get install -y nginx && service nginx start")
    .setReadyCmd(waitForPort(80))
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Template, wait_for_timeout, wait_for_port, wait_for_file

  # Wait for nginx to start listening before taking the snapshot
  template = (
      Template()
      .from_ubuntu_image("22.04")
      .run_cmd("apt-get install -y nginx && service nginx start")
      .set_ready_cmd(wait_for_port(80))
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

More examples:

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  // Wait for a file to be created by a background process
  template.setReadyCmd(waitForFile('/tmp/ready'))

  // Wait a fixed duration for the system to stabilize
  template.setReadyCmd(waitForTimeout(10_000))

  // Custom readiness check
  template.setReadyCmd('curl -s http://localhost:8080/health')
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  # Wait for a file to be created by a background process
  template.set_ready_cmd(wait_for_file("/tmp/ready"))

  # Wait a fixed duration for the system to stabilize
  template.set_ready_cmd(wait_for_timeout(10_000))

  # Custom readiness check
  template.set_ready_cmd("curl -s http://localhost:8080/health")
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Ready command helpers

The SDK provides helper functions for common ready command patterns. These can be used with both `setStartCmd` / `set_start_cmd` and `setReadyCmd` / `set_ready_cmd`.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import {
    waitForPort,
    waitForURL,
    waitForProcess,
    waitForFile,
    waitForTimeout,
  } from 'e2b'

  // Wait for a port to be available
  waitForPort(3000)

  // Wait for a URL to return a specific status code (defaults to 200)
  waitForURL('http://localhost:3000/health')
  waitForURL('http://localhost:3000/health', 200)

  // Wait for a process to be running
  waitForProcess('node')

  // Wait for a file to exist
  waitForFile('/tmp/ready')

  // Wait for a specified duration
  waitForTimeout(10_000) // 10 seconds

# Template tags & versioning
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/template/tags

Use tags to version your templates and manage environment-based deployments

Template versioning allows you to maintain multiple versions of the same template using tags. This enables workflows like semantic versioning, environment-based deployments, and gradual rollouts.

## Tag format

Tags follow the `name:tag` format, where `name` is your template's identifier and `tag` is the version label.

```
my-template:v1.0.0              // Within your project
my-template:production          // Within your project
acme/my-template:v1.0.0         // Full namespaced reference
```

## The default tag

When you build or reference a template without specifying a tag, E2B uses the `default` tag automatically. This means:

* `my-template` is equivalent to `my-template:default`
* Existing templates without tags continue to work seamlessly

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  // These are equivalent
  const sandbox1 = await Sandbox.create('my-template')
  const sandbox2 = await Sandbox.create('my-template:default')
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  # These are equivalent
  sandbox1 = Sandbox.create('my-template')
  sandbox2 = Sandbox.create('my-template:default')
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Referencing a specific build

Instead of using a named tag, you can start a sandbox from a specific build by passing its `build_id` directly. This is useful when you need to pin a sandbox to an exact build artifact — for example, during debugging or when reproducing an issue from a known build.

The format follows the same colon syntax as tags: `<template>:<build_id>` or `<namespace>/<template>:<build_id>`.

You can find the `build_id` from the return value of `Template.build()` or by listing tags with `Template.getTags()` / `Template.get_tags()`.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  // Start a sandbox from a specific build ID
  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create('my-template:f47ac10b-58cc-4372-a567-0e02b2c3d479')

  // With namespace
  const sandbox2 = await Sandbox.create('acme/my-template:f47ac10b-58cc-4372-a567-0e02b2c3d479')
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  # Start a sandbox from a specific build ID
  sandbox = Sandbox.create('my-template:f47ac10b-58cc-4372-a567-0e02b2c3d479')

  # With namespace
  sandbox2 = Sandbox.create('acme/my-template:f47ac10b-58cc-4372-a567-0e02b2c3d479')
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Building with tags

You can build templates with one or more tags to create versioned builds.

### Single tag

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Template } from 'e2b'

  // Build with a specific version tag
  await Template.build(template, 'my-template:v1.0.0')
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Template

  # Build with a specific version tag
  Template.build(template, 'my-template:v1.0.0')
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Multiple tags

Build with multiple tags to assign several version labels to the same build artifact.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Template } from 'e2b'

  // Build with multiple tags pointing to the same artifact
  await Template.build(template, 'my-template', { tags: ['v1.2.0', 'latest'] })
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Template

  # Build with multiple tags pointing to the same artifact
  Template.build(template, 'my-template', tags=['v1.2.0', 'latest'])
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Managing tags

You can manage tags on existing template builds without rebuilding.

### Assign tags

Assign new tag(s) to an existing build. This is useful for promoting a tested version to production or marking a version as stable.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Template } from 'e2b'

  // Assign a single tag
  await Template.assignTags('my-template:v1.2.0', 'production')

  // Assign multiple tags at once
  await Template.assignTags('my-template:v1.2.0', ['production', 'stable'])
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Template

  # Assign a single tag
  Template.assign_tags('my-template:v1.2.0', 'production')

  # Assign multiple tags at once
  Template.assign_tags('my-template:v1.2.0', tags=['production', 'stable'])
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Remove tags

Remove a tag from a template. The underlying build artifact remains accessible via other tags.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Template } from 'e2b'

  // Remove a tag
  await Template.removeTags('my-template', 'staging')
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Template

  # Remove a tag
  Template.remove_tags('my-template', 'staging')
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Warning>
  Removing a tag does not delete the build artifact. Other tags pointing to the same build will continue to work.
</Warning>

### List tags

Retrieve all tags for a template. Each tag includes the tag name, the associated build ID, and when the tag was assigned.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Template } from 'e2b'

  const tags = await Template.getTags('my-template')
  for (const tag of tags) {
    console.log(`Tag: ${tag.tag}, Build: ${tag.buildId}, Created: ${tag.createdAt}`)
  }
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Template

  tags = Template.get_tags('my-template')
  for tag in tags:
      print(f"Tag: {tag.tag}, Build: {tag.build_id}, Created: {tag.created_at}")
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Use cases

### Semantic versioning

Use semantic version tags to track releases and enable rollbacks.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  // Release versions
  await Template.build(template, 'api-server:v1.0.0')
  await Template.build(template, 'api-server:v1.1.0')
  await Template.build(template, 'api-server:v2.0.0')

  // Create sandbox from specific version
  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create('api-server:v1.1.0')
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  # Release versions
  Template.build(template, 'api-server:v1.0.0')
  Template.build(template, 'api-server:v1.1.0')
  Template.build(template, 'api-server:v2.0.0')

  # Create sandbox from specific version
  sandbox = Sandbox.create('api-server:v1.1.0')
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Environment tags

Use environment tags for deployment pipelines.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  // Build new version
  await Template.build(template, 'my-app:v1.5.0')

  // Promote through environments
  await Template.assignTags('my-app:v1.5.0', 'staging')

  // After testing, promote to production
  await Template.assignTags('my-app:v1.5.0', 'production')

  // Use in your application
  const env = process.env.NODE_ENV
  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create(`my-app:${env}`)
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import os

  # Build new version
  Template.build(template, 'my-app:v1.5.0')

  # Promote through environments
  Template.assign_tags('my-app:v1.5.0', 'staging')

  # After testing, promote to production
  Template.assign_tags('my-app:v1.5.0', 'production')

  # Use in your application
  env = os.environ.get('ENV', 'staging')
  sandbox = Sandbox.create(f'my-app:{env}')
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Latest and stable tags

Maintain rolling tags that always point to specific versions.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  // Build with version and latest tag
  await Template.build(template, 'my-tool', { tags: ['v3.0.0', 'latest'] })

  // Mark a tested version as stable
  await Template.assignTags('my-tool:v2.9.0', 'stable')

  // You can choose your risk tolerance
  const latestSandbox = await Sandbox.create('my-tool:latest')  // Newest
  const stableSandbox = await Sandbox.create('my-tool:stable')  // Tested
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  # Build with version and latest tag
  Template.build(template, 'my-tool', tags=['v3.0.0', 'latest'])

  # Mark a tested version as stable
  Template.assign_tags('my-tool:v2.9.0', 'stable')

  # You can choose your risk tolerance
  latest_sandbox = Sandbox.create('my-tool:latest')  # Newest
  stable_sandbox = Sandbox.create('my-tool:stable')  # Tested
  ```
</CodeGroup>


# User and workdir
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/template/user-and-workdir

Default user and working directory in the sandbox and template

The default user in the template is `user` with the `/home/user` (home directory) as the working directory.
This is different from the Docker defaults, where the default user is `root` with `/` as the working directory. This is to help with tools installation, and to improve default security.

The last set user and workdir in the template is then persisted as a default to the sandbox execution.
Example of setting user and workdir in the template definition are below.

<Info>
  Requires the E2B SDK version at least 2.3.0
</Info>

## Default user and workdir in sandbox

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  const sbx = await Sandbox.create()
  await sbx.commands.run("whoami") // user
  await sbx.commands.run("pwd") // /home/user
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  sbx = Sandbox.create()
  sbx.commands.run("whoami")  # user
  sbx.commands.run("pwd")  # /home/user
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Custom user and workdir template

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  // template.ts
  const template = Template()
    .fromBaseImage()
    .runCmd("whoami") // user
    .runCmd("pwd") // /home/user
    .setUser("guest")
    .runCmd("whoami") // guest
    .runCmd("pwd") // /home/guest


  // build_dev.ts
  await Template.build(template, 'custom-user-template', {
    onBuildLogs: defaultBuildLogger()
  })


  // index.ts
  const sbx = await Sandbox.create("custom-user-template")
  await sbx.commands.run("whoami") // guest
  await sbx.commands.run("pwd") // /home/guest
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  # template.py
  template = (
      Template()
      .from_base_image()
      .run_cmd("whoami") # user
      .run_cmd("pwd") # /home/user
      .set_user("guest")
      .run_cmd("whoami") # guest
      .run_cmd("pwd") # /home/guest
  )


  # build_dev.py
  Template.build(template, 'custom-user-template',
      on_build_logs=default_build_logger()
  )


  # main.py
  sbx = Sandbox.create("custom-user-template")
  sbx.commands.run("whoami")  # guest
  sbx.commands.run("pwd")  # /home/guest
  ```
</CodeGroup>


# Run Android
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/use-cases/android

Start an Android 16 system in an E2B sandbox and drive it with adb for app testing and mobile agents.

The `android-16` template runs Android 16 inside an E2B Sandbox. Android ([redroid](https://github.com/remote-android/redroid-doc), AOSP in a container) is booted when the template is built, so a new sandbox starts with Android already running, the screen on, and `adb` ready to drive it.

Use it when an agent or a test needs a real Android system: install an APK, tap through its UI, read the screen, and kill the sandbox afterwards.

## Quickstart

Create a sandbox, check the Android version, open Settings, and save a screenshot locally. `adb` runs inside the sandbox, so every Android command goes through `sandbox.commands.run()`.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { writeFileSync } from 'node:fs'
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create('android-16', { timeoutMs: 5 * 60_000 })
  const adb = 'adb -s 127.0.0.1:5555'

  try {
    await sandbox.commands.run('adb connect 127.0.0.1:5555')

    const version = await sandbox.commands.run(`${adb} shell getprop ro.build.version.release`)
    console.log(`Android ${version.stdout.trim()}`)

    await sandbox.commands.run(`${adb} shell am start -a android.settings.SETTINGS`)
    await sandbox.commands.run('sleep 2')

    const png = await sandbox.commands.run(`${adb} exec-out screencap -p | base64 -w0`)
    writeFileSync('screenshot.png', Buffer.from(png.stdout, 'base64'))
  } finally {
    await sandbox.kill()
  }
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import base64

  from e2b import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create("android-16", timeout=5 * 60)
  adb = "adb -s 127.0.0.1:5555"

  try:
      sandbox.commands.run("adb connect 127.0.0.1:5555")

      version = sandbox.commands.run(f"{adb} shell getprop ro.build.version.release")
      print(f"Android {version.stdout.strip()}")

      sandbox.commands.run(f"{adb} shell am start -a android.settings.SETTINGS")
      sandbox.commands.run("sleep 2")

      png = sandbox.commands.run(f"{adb} exec-out screencap -p | base64 -w0")
      with open("screenshot.png", "wb") as f:
          f.write(base64.b64decode(png.stdout))
  finally:
      sandbox.kill()
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Install and drive your app

Upload the APK into the sandbox with the filesystem API, install it with `adb install`, then launch it and interact with it. The `-g` flag grants the app's runtime permissions at install, so no permission dialog covers the app on first launch.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { readFileSync } from 'node:fs'
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create('android-16', { timeoutMs: 10 * 60_000 })
  const adb = 'adb -s 127.0.0.1:5555'

  try {
    await sandbox.commands.run('adb connect 127.0.0.1:5555')

    await sandbox.files.write('/tmp/app.apk', readFileSync('app.apk').buffer)
    await sandbox.commands.run(`${adb} install -g /tmp/app.apk`)

    // Find the app's launcher activity and start it. Replace with your app's package name.
    const activity = await sandbox.commands.run(
      `${adb} shell cmd package resolve-activity --brief -c android.intent.category.LAUNCHER com.example.app | tail -1`,
    )
    await sandbox.commands.run(`${adb} shell am start -W -n ${activity.stdout.trim()}`)

    // Tap, type, and read the UI tree.
    await sandbox.commands.run(`${adb} shell input tap 360 640`)
    await sandbox.commands.run(`${adb} shell input text hello`)
    await sandbox.commands.run(`${adb} shell uiautomator dump /sdcard/ui.xml`)
    const ui = await sandbox.commands.run(`${adb} shell cat /sdcard/ui.xml`)
    console.log(ui.stdout)
  } finally {
    await sandbox.kill()
  }
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create("android-16", timeout=10 * 60)
  adb = "adb -s 127.0.0.1:5555"

  try:
      sandbox.commands.run("adb connect 127.0.0.1:5555")

      with open("app.apk", "rb") as f:
          sandbox.files.write("/tmp/app.apk", f)
      sandbox.commands.run(f"{adb} install -g /tmp/app.apk")

      # Find the app's launcher activity and start it. Replace with your app's package name.
      activity = sandbox.commands.run(
          f"{adb} shell cmd package resolve-activity --brief -c android.intent.category.LAUNCHER com.example.app | tail -1"
      )
      sandbox.commands.run(f"{adb} shell am start -W -n {activity.stdout.strip()}")

      # Tap, type, and read the UI tree.
      sandbox.commands.run(f"{adb} shell input tap 360 640")
      sandbox.commands.run(f"{adb} shell input text hello")
      sandbox.commands.run(f"{adb} shell uiautomator dump /sdcard/ui.xml")
      ui = sandbox.commands.run(f"{adb} shell cat /sdcard/ui.xml")
      print(ui.stdout)
  finally:
      sandbox.kill()
  ```
</CodeGroup>

These are the `adb` commands an agent or test typically needs:

| Action | Command |
| - | - |
| Take a screenshot | `adb -s 127.0.0.1:5555 exec-out screencap -p` |
| Tap a point | `adb -s 127.0.0.1:5555 shell input tap <x> <y>` |
| Swipe | `adb -s 127.0.0.1:5555 shell input swipe <x1> <y1> <x2> <y2>` |
| Type text | `adb -s 127.0.0.1:5555 shell input text <text>` |
| Start an app | `adb -s 127.0.0.1:5555 shell am start -W -n <package>/<activity>` |
| Press a key | `adb -s 127.0.0.1:5555 shell input keyevent KEYCODE_BACK` |
| Dump the UI hierarchy | `adb -s 127.0.0.1:5555 shell uiautomator dump /sdcard/ui.xml` |
| Read the device log | `adb -s 127.0.0.1:5555 logcat -d` |

An agent can send the screenshot and the UI hierarchy to a model, then act on its answer with taps, swipes, and key events.

## Pause and resume

By default, pausing saves the sandbox's memory as well as its filesystem. When you resume it with `connect()`, Android is still booted, installed apps are still installed, and the app that was in the foreground is still open. See [Sandbox persistence](/sandbox/persistence) for how pausing works.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  await sandbox.pause()

  // Later
  const resumed = await Sandbox.connect(sandbox.sandboxId)
  await resumed.commands.run('adb -s 127.0.0.1:5555 shell getprop sys.boot_completed') // 1
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  sandbox.pause()

  # Later
  resumed = Sandbox.connect(sandbox.sandbox_id)
  resumed.commands.run("adb -s 127.0.0.1:5555 shell getprop sys.boot_completed")  # 1
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## What's in the sandbox

* Android 16 (API level 36), an x86\_64 AOSP image, running in a Docker container named `android`.
* `adb` connected to Android at `127.0.0.1:5555`.
* A 720x1280 display at 320 dpi, rendered in software (SwiftShader). There is no GPU.
* 8 vCPUs and 4 GB of RAM, set by the template.
* The start script's log at `/var/log/android-start.log`. Android's own log is in `logcat`.

## Known limitations

* **No Google Play Services or Play Store.** The image is plain AOSP, so apps that depend on Play Services, or that require the device to pass Play Integrity checks, do not work.
* **x86\_64 only.** An app that ships native libraries needs x86\_64 builds of them. An app that ships only arm64 native libraries installs, but fails when it loads those libraries.
* **64-bit only.** The image supports no 32-bit ABIs.
* **Software rendering.** Graphics-heavy apps and games run slower than on a phone with a GPU.
* **Use the template as is.** Android does not start in a custom template built on `android-16`, so its build fails. Install your apps at runtime with `adb install` instead.


# GitHub Actions CI/CD
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/use-cases/ci-cd

Run AI-powered code review, testing, and validation in secure E2B sandboxes from your GitHub Actions workflows.

CI/CD pipelines can use AI agents to review pull requests, generate tests, and validate code changes automatically. E2B sandboxes provide the secure, isolated execution environment where these agents can safely clone repositories, run untrusted code, and report results — all triggered by [GitHub Actions](https://docs.github.com/en/actions) on every pull request. Each run uses its own isolated sandbox, so malicious or buggy PR code never touches your CI runner.

## GitHub Actions workflow

The workflow triggers on pull request events and runs a review script. `E2B_API_KEY` and the LLM API key are stored as [GitHub Actions secrets](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/security-for-github-actions/security-guides/using-secrets-in-github-actions), while the built-in `GITHUB_TOKEN` is available automatically. The `permissions` block grants write access so the script can post PR comments.

The workflow calls this script on every PR. It runs five steps inside an E2B sandbox, keeping all untrusted code isolated from the CI runner.

1. **Create sandbox** — `Sandbox.create()` creates an isolated Linux environment for the review
2. **Clone the PR** — `commands.run()` runs `git clone` inside the sandbox, checking out the PR branch with `x-access-token` + `GITHUB_TOKEN` for [authentication](https://docs.github.com/en/apps/creating-github-apps/authenticating-with-a-github-app/authenticating-as-a-github-app-installation)
3. **AI review** — runs `git diff` inside the sandbox, sends the output to an LLM — swap the model for any provider via [Connect LLMs](/quickstart/connect-llms)
4. **Run tests** — `commands.run()` streams output in real time and throws on failure (`CommandExitError` / `CommandExitException`)
5. **Post results** — comments the review on the PR via the GitHub REST API, then shuts down the sandbox

# Coding Agents
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/use-cases/coding-agents

Run AI coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, and Amp in secure E2B sandboxes with full terminal, filesystem, and git access.

Coding agents like [Claude Code](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/agents-and-tools/claude-code/overview), [Codex](https://github.com/openai/codex), and [Amp](https://ampcode.com/) can write, debug, and refactor code autonomously. E2B sandboxes give each agent a full Linux environment with terminal, filesystem, and git — completely isolated from your infrastructure. Pre-built templates mean you can go from zero to a running agent in a single API call.

## Why Use a Sandbox

Running coding agents directly on your machine or servers means giving AI-generated code unrestricted access to your environment. E2B sandboxes solve this:

1. **Isolation** — agent-generated code runs in a secure sandbox, never touching your production systems or local machine
2. **Full dev environment** — terminal, filesystem, git, and package managers are all available out of the box, so agents work like a developer would
3. **Pre-built templates** — ready-made templates for popular agents get you started fast, and you can [build your own](/template/quickstart) for any agent
4. **Scalability** — run many sandboxes in parallel, each with its own agent on a separate task

## How It Works

1. **Create a sandbox** — use a pre-built template or [build your own](/template/quickstart) with any agent installed
2. **Agent gets a full environment** — terminal, filesystem, git access, and any tools installed in the template
3. **Agent works autonomously** — it reads the codebase, writes code, runs tests, and iterates until the task is done
4. **Extract results** — pull out the git diff, structured output, or modified files via the SDK. The sandbox stays available for follow-up work, or you can pause it to pick up later

## Agent Examples

Since each sandbox is a full Linux environment, you can run any coding agent — just install it in a [custom template](/template/quickstart). E2B also provides pre-built templates for popular agents to get you started quickly.

# Computer use
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/use-cases/computer-use

Build AI agents that see, understand, and control virtual Linux desktops using E2B Desktop sandboxes.

Computer use agents interact with graphical desktops the same way a human would — viewing the screen, clicking, typing, and scrolling. E2B provides the sandboxed desktop environment where these agents operate safely, with [VNC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_Network_Computing) streaming for real-time visual feedback.

For a complete working implementation, see [E2B Surf](https://github.com/e2b-dev/surf) — an open-source computer use agent you can try via the [live demo](https://surf.e2b.dev).

## How it works

The computer use agent loop follows this pattern:

1. **User sends a command** — e.g., "Open Firefox and search for AI news"
2. **Agent creates a desktop sandbox** — an Ubuntu 22.04 environment with [XFCE](https://xfce.org/) desktop and pre-installed applications
3. **Agent takes a screenshot** — captures the current desktop state via E2B Desktop SDK
4. **LLM analyzes the screenshot** — a vision model (e.g., [OpenAI Computer Use API](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/guides/tools-computer-use)) decides what action to take
5. **Action is executed** — click, type, scroll, or keypress via E2B Desktop SDK
6. **Repeat** — new screenshot is taken and sent back to the LLM until the task is complete

## Install the E2B Desktop SDK

The [E2B Desktop](https://github.com/e2b-dev/desktop) SDK gives your agent a full Linux desktop with mouse, keyboard, and screen capture APIs.

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  npm i @e2b/desktop
  ```

  ```bash Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  pip install e2b-desktop
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Core implementation

The following snippets are adapted from [E2B Surf](https://github.com/e2b-dev/surf).

### Setting up the sandbox

Create a desktop sandbox and start VNC streaming so you can view the desktop in a browser.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from '@e2b/desktop'

  // Create a desktop sandbox with a 5-minute timeout
  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create({
    resolution: [1024, 720],
    dpi: 96,
    timeoutMs: 300_000,
  })

  // Start VNC streaming for browser-based viewing
  await sandbox.stream.start()
  const streamUrl = sandbox.stream.getUrl()
  console.log('View desktop at:', streamUrl)
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b_desktop import Sandbox

  # Create a desktop sandbox with a 5-minute timeout
  sandbox = Sandbox.create(
      resolution=(1024, 720),
      dpi=96,
      timeout=300,
  )

  # Start VNC streaming for browser-based viewing
  sandbox.stream.start()
  stream_url = sandbox.stream.get_url()
  print("View desktop at:", stream_url)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Executing desktop actions

The E2B Desktop SDK maps directly to mouse and keyboard actions. Here's how Surf translates LLM-returned actions into desktop interactions.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from '@e2b/desktop'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create({ timeoutMs: 300_000 })

  // Mouse actions
  await sandbox.leftClick(500, 300)
  await sandbox.rightClick(500, 300)
  await sandbox.doubleClick(500, 300)
  await sandbox.middleClick(500, 300)
  await sandbox.moveMouse(500, 300)
  await sandbox.drag([100, 200], [400, 500])

  // Keyboard actions
  await sandbox.write('Hello, world!')  // Type text
  await sandbox.press('Enter')          // Press a key

  // Scrolling
  await sandbox.scroll('down', 3)  // Scroll down 3 ticks
  await sandbox.scroll('up', 3)    // Scroll up 3 ticks

  // Screenshots
  const screenshot = await sandbox.screenshot()  // Returns Buffer

  // Run terminal commands
  await sandbox.commands.run('ls -la /home')
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b_desktop import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create(timeout=300)

  # Mouse actions
  sandbox.left_click(500, 300)
  sandbox.right_click(500, 300)
  sandbox.double_click(500, 300)
  sandbox.middle_click(500, 300)
  sandbox.move_mouse(500, 300)
  sandbox.drag([100, 200], [400, 500])

  # Keyboard actions
  sandbox.write("Hello, world!")  # Type text
  sandbox.press("Enter")          # Press a key

  # Scrolling
  sandbox.scroll("down", 3)  # Scroll down 3 ticks
  sandbox.scroll("up", 3)    # Scroll up 3 ticks

  # Screenshots
  screenshot = sandbox.screenshot()  # Returns bytes

  # Run terminal commands
  sandbox.commands.run("ls -la /home")
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Agent loop

The core loop takes screenshots, sends them to an LLM, and executes the returned actions on the desktop. This is a simplified version of how [Surf](https://github.com/e2b-dev/surf) drives the computer use cycle.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from '@e2b/desktop'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create({
    resolution: [1024, 720],
    timeoutMs: 300_000,
  })
  await sandbox.stream.start()

  while (true) {
    // 1. Capture the current desktop state
    const screenshot = await sandbox.screenshot()

    // 2. Send screenshot to your LLM and get the next action
    //    (use OpenAI Computer Use, Anthropic Claude, etc.)
    const action = await getNextActionFromLLM(screenshot)

    if (!action) break // LLM signals task is complete

    // 3. Execute the action on the desktop
    switch (action.type) {
      case 'click':
        await sandbox.leftClick(action.x, action.y)
        break
      case 'type':
        await sandbox.write(action.text)
        break
      case 'keypress':
        await sandbox.press(action.keys)
        break
      case 'scroll':
        await sandbox.scroll(
          action.scrollY < 0 ? 'up' : 'down',
          Math.abs(action.scrollY)
        )
        break
      case 'drag':
        await sandbox.drag(
          [action.startX, action.startY],
          [action.endX, action.endY]
        )
        break
    }
  }

  await sandbox.kill()
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b_desktop import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create(
      resolution=(1024, 720),
      timeout=300,
  )
  sandbox.stream.start()

  while True:
      # 1. Capture the current desktop state
      screenshot = sandbox.screenshot()

      # 2. Send screenshot to your LLM and get the next action
      #    (use OpenAI Computer Use, Anthropic Claude, etc.)
      action = get_next_action_from_llm(screenshot)

      if not action:
          break  # LLM signals task is complete

      # 3. Execute the action on the desktop
      if action.type == "click":
          sandbox.left_click(action.x, action.y)
      elif action.type == "type":
          sandbox.write(action.text)
      elif action.type == "keypress":
          sandbox.press(action.keys)
      elif action.type == "scroll":
          direction = "up" if action.scroll_y < 0 else "down"
          sandbox.scroll(direction, abs(action.scroll_y))
      elif action.type == "drag":
          sandbox.drag(
              [action.start_x, action.start_y],
              [action.end_x, action.end_y],
          )

  sandbox.kill()
  ```
</CodeGroup>

The `getNextActionFromLLM` / `get_next_action_from_llm` function is where you integrate your chosen LLM. See [Connect LLMs to E2B](/quickstart/connect-llms) for integration patterns with OpenAI, Anthropic, and other providers.

# Run Kubernetes with k3s
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/use-cases/k3s

Create a disposable Kubernetes cluster for agents, CI, previews, and integration testing.

The `e2b/k3s` template turns an E2B Sandbox into a preconfigured, single-node [k3s](https://k3s.io) cluster. `kubectl`, cluster DNS, networking, storage, and the default k8s components are configured when the sandbox starts.

Use it when an agent or CI job needs a single-node Kubernetes cluster without provisioning or sharing a permanent cluster.

## Quickstart

Create and connect to a k3s sandbox from the CLI:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
e2b sbx create e2b/k3s
```

`kubectl` is already configured. On a fresh or resumed sandbox, wait for the node and cluster DNS objects to appear and become ready before deploying:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
timeout 120s sh -c 'until kubectl get node -o name | grep -q .; do sleep 1; done'
kubectl wait --for=condition=Ready node --all --timeout=120s
timeout 120s sh -c 'until kubectl get pod --namespace=kube-system --selector=k8s-app=kube-dns -o name | grep -q .; do sleep 1; done'
kubectl wait --for=condition=Ready pod \
  --namespace=kube-system \
  --selector=k8s-app=kube-dns \
  --timeout=120s
kubectl get nodes
kubectl get pods --all-namespaces
```

You can also create the sandbox with the standard E2B SDK:

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  // One timeout for the sandbox and for every command run inside it.
  const TIMEOUT_MS = 15 * 60_000

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create('e2b/k3s', {
    timeoutMs: TIMEOUT_MS,
  })

  try {
    await sandbox.commands.run(
      `
        set -euo pipefail
        timeout 120s sh -c 'until kubectl get node -o name | grep -q .; do sleep 1; done'
        kubectl wait --for=condition=Ready node --all --timeout=120s
        timeout 120s sh -c 'until kubectl get pod --namespace=kube-system --selector=k8s-app=kube-dns -o name | grep -q .; do sleep 1; done'
        kubectl wait --for=condition=Ready pod \
          --namespace=kube-system \
          --selector=k8s-app=kube-dns \
          --timeout=120s
      `,
      { timeoutMs: TIMEOUT_MS },
    )

    const nodes = await sandbox.commands.run('kubectl get nodes -o wide', {
      timeoutMs: TIMEOUT_MS,
    })
    console.log(nodes.stdout)
  } finally {
    await sandbox.kill()
  }
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  # One timeout for the sandbox and for every command run inside it.
  TIMEOUT = 15 * 60

  sandbox = Sandbox.create("e2b/k3s", timeout=TIMEOUT)

  try:
      sandbox.commands.run(
          """
          set -euo pipefail
          timeout 120s sh -c 'until kubectl get node -o name | grep -q .; do sleep 1; done'
          kubectl wait --for=condition=Ready node --all --timeout=120s
          timeout 120s sh -c 'until kubectl get pod --namespace=kube-system --selector=k8s-app=kube-dns -o name | grep -q .; do sleep 1; done'
          kubectl wait --for=condition=Ready pod \
            --namespace=kube-system \
            --selector=k8s-app=kube-dns \
            --timeout=120s
          """,
          timeout=TIMEOUT,
      )

      nodes = sandbox.commands.run("kubectl get nodes -o wide", timeout=TIMEOUT)
      print(nodes.stdout)
  finally:
      sandbox.kill()
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Deploy and preview an application

This example creates an nginx Deployment and Service, forwards the Service to a sandbox port, and prints an E2B URL that you can open in a browser.

Every command that has to stay alive for the whole session uses the same timeout as the sandbox, including the background port-forward. A command started with a shorter timeout is terminated when that timeout expires, which would close the forwarded port while the sandbox is still running.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  // One timeout for the sandbox and for every command run inside it,
  // including the background port-forward that serves the preview URL.
  const TIMEOUT_MS = 15 * 60_000

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create('e2b/k3s', {
    timeoutMs: TIMEOUT_MS,
  })

  await sandbox.commands.run(
    `
      set -euo pipefail
      timeout 120s sh -c 'until kubectl get node -o name | grep -q .; do sleep 1; done'
      kubectl wait --for=condition=Ready node --all --timeout=120s
      timeout 120s sh -c 'until kubectl get pod --namespace=kube-system --selector=k8s-app=kube-dns -o name | grep -q .; do sleep 1; done'
      kubectl wait --for=condition=Ready pod \
        --namespace=kube-system \
        --selector=k8s-app=kube-dns \
        --timeout=120s
      kubectl create deployment web --image=nginx:alpine
      kubectl scale deployment web --replicas=2
      kubectl expose deployment web --port=80
      kubectl rollout status deployment/web --timeout=180s
    `,
    { timeoutMs: TIMEOUT_MS },
  )

  await sandbox.commands.run(
    'kubectl port-forward --address=0.0.0.0 service/web 8080:80',
    { background: true, timeoutMs: TIMEOUT_MS },
  )

  await sandbox.commands.run(
    'until curl -fsS http://127.0.0.1:8080 >/dev/null; do sleep 1; done',
    { timeoutMs: TIMEOUT_MS },
  )

  const url = `https://${sandbox.getHost(8080)}`
  console.log(`Open the application: ${url}`)
  console.log(`Stop it with: e2b sandbox kill ${sandbox.sandboxId}`)
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  # One timeout for the sandbox and for every command run inside it,
  # including the background port-forward that serves the preview URL.
  TIMEOUT = 15 * 60

  sandbox = Sandbox.create("e2b/k3s", timeout=TIMEOUT)

  sandbox.commands.run(
      """
      set -euo pipefail
      timeout 120s sh -c 'until kubectl get node -o name | grep -q .; do sleep 1; done'
      kubectl wait --for=condition=Ready node --all --timeout=120s
      timeout 120s sh -c 'until kubectl get pod --namespace=kube-system --selector=k8s-app=kube-dns -o name | grep -q .; do sleep 1; done'
      kubectl wait --for=condition=Ready pod \
        --namespace=kube-system \
        --selector=k8s-app=kube-dns \
        --timeout=120s
      kubectl create deployment web --image=nginx:alpine
      kubectl scale deployment web --replicas=2
      kubectl expose deployment web --port=80
      kubectl rollout status deployment/web --timeout=180s
      """,
      timeout=TIMEOUT,
  )

  sandbox.commands.run(
      "kubectl port-forward --address=0.0.0.0 service/web 8080:80",
      background=True,
      timeout=TIMEOUT,
  )

  sandbox.commands.run(
      "until curl -fsS http://127.0.0.1:8080 >/dev/null; do sleep 1; done",
      timeout=TIMEOUT,
  )

  url = f"https://{sandbox.get_host(8080)}"
  print(f"Open the application: {url}")
  print(f"Stop it with: e2b sandbox kill {sandbox.sandbox_id}")
  ```
</CodeGroup>

The script keeps running while the port-forward is open, and the sandbox stays available for up to 15 minutes so you can open the URL. Stop the script with `Ctrl+C` when you are done watching it, and remove the sandbox with the command it printed:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
e2b sandbox kill <sandbox-id>
```

Stopping the script on its own does not delete the sandbox: it keeps serving the URL until you kill it or the 15-minute timeout expires.

To verify in-cluster DNS and ClusterIP routing, run a client pod against the Service:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
kubectl run cluster-check \
  --rm -i \
  --restart=Never \
  --image=curlimages/curl:latest \
  -- curl -fsS http://web
```

## Check k3s status and logs

k3s runs as a systemd service with automatic restart on crash. Use `sudo`: the sandbox has no user D-Bus session, so unprivileged `systemctl` and `journalctl` cannot connect.

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
sudo systemctl status k3s        # unit state
sudo journalctl -u k3s -f        # server logs
kubectl get --raw='/readyz?verbose' | tail -5
kubectl get pods --all-namespaces
```

Server flags live in `/etc/rancher/k3s/config.yaml`; edit the file and `sudo systemctl restart k3s` to apply. Workload logs work as usual through `kubectl logs`.

## Where to use it

* Give a coding agent an isolated cluster for a repository that expects Kubernetes.
* Validate Helm charts, operators, CRDs, manifests, Services, and DNS in CI.
* Create a cluster per pull request for integration tests or browser previews.
* Reproduce Kubernetes issues without provisioning EKS, GKE, or AKS.
* Test untrusted workloads without sharing a staging cluster.

The useful production pattern is **cluster per task**: create a sandbox, deploy and test the workload, collect the results, and remove the sandbox. Promote the same images, charts, and manifests to your managed production cluster after validation.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create an isolated k3s sandbox">
    The agent, CI job, or preview service gets its own Firecracker microVM and Kubernetes control plane.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Deploy the production artifacts">
    Apply the same container images, Helm charts, CRDs, or manifests that will be promoted later.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Test the complete workload">
    Exercise Pods, Services, DNS, storage, and browser-visible endpoints without affecting a shared cluster.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Promote and clean up">
    Send validated artifacts to the production cluster, save any required test output, and kill the sandbox.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What is tested and supported

The template runs stock k3s with Flannel's default VXLAN backend. These workflows are validated end-to-end on every release:

* Deployments, Services with load balancing across replicas (kube-proxy iptables and nftables modes), and session affinity.
* Ingress (Traefik), NodePort, LoadBalancer (ServiceLB), and `hostPort`.
* NetworkPolicy, both ingress and egress, with the built-in controller.
* StatefulSets with local-path PersistentVolumeClaims, Jobs, CronJobs, and HPA with metrics-server.
* Alternative CNIs that use VXLAN, such as Calico with `CALICO_IPV4POOL_VXLAN=Always`.
* Sandbox pause and resume: the cluster comes back immediately, the clock is corrected, and CronJobs keep their schedule.

## Known limitations

* The template runs one Kubernetes node in one sandbox. It does not provide high availability, and multi-node clusters across sandboxes are not supported.
* A sandbox is disposable. Do not treat its local Kubernetes storage as a durable system of record.
* Cilium and other eBPF dataplanes do not work: the sandbox kernel has no BPF JIT.
* Service meshes with iptables interception (Istio, Linkerd) do not work: the kernel lacks the `owner` and `TPROXY` netfilter extensions their sidecars need.
* Calico's default IPIP mode is not supported; use its VXLAN mode. GRE tunnels and SCTP Services are also unavailable.
* IPVS kube-proxy mode and nested-virtualization runtimes such as Kata Containers or KubeVirt are not supported.
* `kubectl port-forward service/<name>` connects to one Pod selected when the forward starts; use in-cluster requests to exercise load balancing across replicas.

For production application hosting, use a managed or otherwise highly available Kubernetes cluster with durable storage, backups, monitoring, and load balancing. Use E2B k3s to develop and validate what you deploy there.


# Cloud browser
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/use-cases/remote-browser

Use Kernel cloud browsers with E2B sandboxes to give your agents access to the internet.

<Note>
  This guide covers **cloud browsers** powered by [Kernel](https://www.kernel.sh/) — cloud Chromium instances your code controls via [CDP](https://chromedevtools.github.io/devtools-protocol/) or the [Kernel SDK](https://www.kernel.sh/docs/sdk/overview). For **local browser automation** using a virtual desktop, see [Computer use](/use-cases/computer-use).
</Note>

Cloud browsers run on Kernel's managed infrastructure, not inside your sandbox. This gives you sub-second browser startup, [persistent sessions you can pause and resume](https://www.onkernel.com/docs/browsers/persistence) across hours or days, and reusable browser state. Your agent connects to them over the network via CDP, BiDi, or their CUA API.

Kernel handles CAPTCHA solving, residential proxies, authentication, and observability out of the box.

## Prerequisites

* An <a href="https://console.e2b.dev/?tab=keys">E2B API key</a>
* A [Kernel API key](https://dashboard.onkernel.com/api-keys)
* Python 3.10+ / Node.js 18+

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  npm i e2b @onkernel/sdk playwright-core
  ```

  ```bash Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  pip install e2b kernel playwright
  ```
</CodeGroup>

Set your keys in the environment:

```bash .env theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
E2B_API_KEY=e2b_***
KERNEL_API_KEY=kernel_***
```

E2B provides a pre-built sandbox template with the Kernel SDK and Playwright already installed:

| Template | What's included | Best for |
| - | - | - |
| `kernel-browser` | Kernel SDK, Playwright, Browser Use | Screenshots, scraping, app previews, autonomous agents |

## Examples

Here are three common patterns for using cloud browsers with E2B sandboxes.

## Screenshot app endpoints

Deploy a web app inside an E2B sandbox, get a public URL, then use a Kernel cloud browser to screenshot every route.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create the sandbox and start your app">
    <CodeGroup>

  <Step title="Screenshot each route with Kernel">
    E2B exposes any sandbox port as a public HTTPS endpoint. Write a browsing script into the sandbox that creates a Kernel browser and screenshots each route.

## Agent data extraction

Use [Browser Use](https://docs.browser-use.com/) to let an LLM autonomously browse a website and extract data. The agent sees the page via screenshots and decides what to click, type, and navigate.

This requires an additional LLM API key:

```bash .env theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-***
```

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create the sandbox with API keys">

          ANTHROPIC_API_KEY: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY!,
        },
        timeoutMs: 300_000,
      })
      ```

## Live browser preview

Kernel provides a live view URL for every browser session — you can watch the browser in real time or embed it in your app. This is useful for debugging, demos, or letting users see what the agent is doing.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create('kernel-browser', {
    envs: { KERNEL_API_KEY: process.env.KERNEL_API_KEY! },
    timeoutMs: 300_000,
  })

  const LIVE_VIEW_SCRIPT = `
  from kernel import Kernel

  kernel = Kernel()
  browser = kernel.browsers.create()

  # Print the live view URL — accessible from any browser
  print(browser.browser_live_view_url)
  `

  await sandbox.files.write('/home/user/live_view.py', LIVE_VIEW_SCRIPT)
  const result = await sandbox.commands.run(
    'python3 /home/user/live_view.py',
    { timeoutMs: 30_000 },
  )
  const liveViewUrl = result.stdout.trim()
  console.log('Watch the browser:', liveViewUrl)

  // Embed in your app as an iframe
  // <iframe src={liveViewUrl}></iframe>

  // Read-only mode (no mouse/keyboard interaction)
  // liveViewUrl + '?readOnly=true'
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import os
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create(
      "kernel-browser",
      envs={"KERNEL_API_KEY": os.environ["KERNEL_API_KEY"]},
      timeout=300,
  )

  LIVE_VIEW_SCRIPT = '''
  from kernel import Kernel

  kernel = Kernel()
  browser = kernel.browsers.create()

  # Print the live view URL — accessible from any browser
  print(browser.browser_live_view_url)
  '''

  sandbox.files.write("/home/user/live_view.py", LIVE_VIEW_SCRIPT)
  result = sandbox.commands.run("python3 /home/user/live_view.py", timeout=30)
  live_view_url = result.stdout.strip()
  print("Watch the browser:", live_view_url)

  # Embed in your app as an iframe
  # <iframe src={live_view_url}></iframe>

  # Read-only mode (no mouse/keyboard interaction)
  # live_view_url + '?readOnly=true'
  ```
</CodeGroup>

The live view URL stays active until the browser is deleted or times out. For more details, see the [Kernel live view documentation](https://www.kernel.sh/docs/browsers/live-view).

# Overview
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/volumes

Persistent storage that exists independently of sandboxes and can be mounted across multiple sandboxes.

<Note>
  Volumes are currently in private beta.
  If you'd like access, please reach out to us at [support@e2b.dev](mailto:support@e2b.dev).
</Note>

Volumes provide persistent storage that exists independently of sandbox lifecycles. Data written to a volume persists even after a sandbox is shut down, and volumes can be mounted to multiple sandboxes over time.

**One volume shared across multiple sandboxes**

```mermaid actions={false} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
graph LR
  V1[Volume A] --- S1[Sandbox 1]
  V1 --- S2[Sandbox 2]
  V1 --- S3[Sandbox 3]
```

**Each sandbox with its own volume**

```mermaid actions={false} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
graph LR
  V2[Volume A] --- S4[Sandbox 1]
  V3[Volume B] --- S5[Sandbox 2]
```

**Standalone usage via SDK**

```mermaid actions={false} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
graph LR
  SDK[SDK] --- V4[Volume A]
  SDK --- V5[Volume B]
```

When a volume is mounted to a sandbox, files can be read and written directly at the mount path. The SDK methods are meant to be used when the volume is not mounted to any sandbox.

With E2B SDK you can:

* [Manage volumes.](/volumes/manage)
* [Mount volumes to sandboxes.](/volumes/mount)
* [Read and write files to a volume.](/volumes/read-write)
* [Get file and directory metadata.](/volumes/info)
* [Upload data to a volume.](/volumes/upload)
* [Download data from a volume.](/volumes/download)

## Example

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Volume, Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const volume = await Volume.create('my-volume')

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create({
    volumeMounts: {
      '/mnt/my-data': volume,
    },
  })
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Volume, Sandbox

  volume = Volume.create('my-volume')

  sandbox = Sandbox.create(
      volume_mounts={
          '/mnt/my-data': volume,
      },
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Known limitations

Volumes are in private beta and have limitations worth knowing about before you build on them, including file locking, performance on many small files, and file ownership. See [Volumes beta limitations](/faq/volumes-beta-limitations).


# Download data from volume
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/volumes/download

Download files from a volume to your local filesystem with the E2B SDK.

You can download data from a volume using the `readFile()` / `read_file()` method.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import fs from 'fs'
  import { Volume } from 'e2b'

  const volume = await Volume.create('my-volume')

  // Read file from volume
  const content = await volume.readFile('/path/in/volume')
  // Write file to local filesystem
  fs.writeFileSync('/local/path', content)
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Volume

  volume = Volume.create('my-volume')

  # Read file from volume
  content = volume.read_file('/path/in/volume')
  # Write file to local filesystem
  with open('/local/path', 'w') as file:
      file.write(content)
  ```
</CodeGroup>


# Get information about a file or directory
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/volumes/info

Get metadata, check existence, and update permissions for files and directories in a volume.

You can get information about a file or directory in a volume using the `getInfo()` / `get_info()` method.

### Getting information about a file

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Volume } from 'e2b'

  const volume = await Volume.create('my-volume')

  // Create a new file
  await volume.writeFile('/test_file.txt', 'Hello, world!')

  // Get information about the file
  const info = await volume.getInfo('/test_file.txt')

  console.log(info)
  // {
  //   name: 'test_file.txt',
  //   type: 'file',
  //   path: '/test_file.txt',
  //   size: 13,
  //   mode: 0o644,
  //   uid: 0,
  //   gid: 0,
  //   atime: 2025-05-26T12:00:00.000Z,
  //   mtime: 2025-05-26T12:00:00.000Z,
  //   ctime: 2025-05-26T12:00:00.000Z,
  // }
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Volume

  volume = Volume.create('my-volume')

  # Create a new file
  volume.write_file('/test_file.txt', 'Hello, world!')

  # Get information about the file
  info = volume.get_info('/test_file.txt')

  print(info)
  # VolumeEntryStat(
  #   name='test_file.txt',
  #   type_='file',
  #   path='/test_file.txt',
  #   size=13,
  #   mode=0o644,
  #   uid=0,
  #   gid=0,
  #   atime=datetime(2025, 5, 26, 12, 0, 0),
  #   mtime=datetime(2025, 5, 26, 12, 0, 0),
  #   ctime=datetime(2025, 5, 26, 12, 0, 0),
  # )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Getting information about a directory

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Volume } from 'e2b'

  const volume = await Volume.create('my-volume')

  // Create a new directory
  await volume.makeDir('/test_dir')

  // Get information about the directory
  const info = await volume.getInfo('/test_dir')

  //   ctime: 2025-05-26T12:00:00.000Z,
  // }
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Volume

  volume = Volume.create('my-volume')

  # Create a new directory
  volume.make_dir('/test_dir')

  # Get information about the directory
  info = volume.get_info('/test_dir')

  print(info)
  # VolumeEntryStat(

  #   ctime=datetime(2025, 5, 26, 12, 0, 0),
  # )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Checking if a path exists

You can check whether a file or directory exists in a volume using the `exists()` method.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Volume } from 'e2b'

  const volume = await Volume.create('my-volume')

  const fileExists = await volume.exists('/test_file.txt')
  console.log(fileExists) // true or false
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Volume

  volume = Volume.create('my-volume')

  file_exists = volume.exists('/test_file.txt')
  print(file_exists)  # True or False
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Updating metadata

You can update file or directory metadata such as user ID, group ID, and permissions mode using the `updateMetadata()` / `update_metadata()` method.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Volume } from 'e2b'

  const volume = await Volume.create('my-volume')

  await volume.writeFile('/test_file.txt', 'Hello, world!')

  const updated = await volume.updateMetadata('/test_file.txt', { uid: 1000, gid: 1000, mode: 0o600 })

  console.log(updated)
  // {
  //   name: 'test_file.txt',
  //   type: 'file',
  //   path: '/test_file.txt',
  //   size: 13,
  //   mode: 0o600,
  //   uid: 1000,
  //   gid: 1000,
  //   ...
  // }
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Volume

  volume = Volume.create('my-volume')

  volume.write_file('/test_file.txt', 'Hello, world!')

  updated = volume.update_metadata('/test_file.txt', uid=1000, gid=1000, mode=0o600)

  print(updated)
  # VolumeEntryStat(
  #   name='test_file.txt',
  #   type_='file',
  #   path='/test_file.txt',
  #   size=13,
  #   mode=0o600,
  #   uid=1000,

  success = Volume.destroy('volume-id')
  print(success)  # True
  ```
</CodeGroup>


# Migrating data between volumes
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/volumes/migrate

Copy all data from one E2B volume to another by mounting both into a sandbox and using rsync.

When you need to move data from an old volume to a new one, the simplest approach is to mount both volumes into a single sandbox and copy the files across. This page walks through a script that does exactly that: it spins up a sandbox from the **base** template, mounts a source and a destination volume, and copies all data from source to destination.

* The **source** volume must already exist. If it doesn't, the script fails.
* The **destination** volume is reused if it already exists, or created if it doesn't.

## Prerequisites

You need an E2B account with your API key set as `E2B_API_KEY` in your environment, and the E2B SDK installed.

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  npm install e2b
  ```

  ```bash Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  pip install e2b
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## The script

The script first resolves both volumes by name, connecting to the source and connecting to (or creating) the destination. It then mounts both into a sandbox and uses [rsync](https://rsync.samba.org/) to copy the data across. Reading the volume type from the token is optional, but it's a handy sanity check that you're copying between the volumes you expect.

Save this as `copy-volume.mts` (JavaScript & TypeScript) or `copy_volume.py` (Python):

<CodeGroup>
  ```ts JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox, Volume } from 'e2b'

  const [sourceName, destName] = process.argv.slice(2)
  if (!sourceName || !destName) {
    throw new Error('Usage: copy-volume <source-volume> <dest-volume>')
  }

  async function findVolumeByName(name: string) {
    const volumes = await Volume.list()
    return volumes.find((v) => v.name === name) ?? null
  }

  const sourceInfo = await findVolumeByName(sourceName)
  if (!sourceInfo) {
    throw new Error(`Source volume "${sourceName}" does not exist`)
  }
  const sourceVolume = await Volume.connect(sourceInfo.volumeId)

  const destInfo = await findVolumeByName(destName)
  const destVolume = destInfo
    ? await Volume.connect(destInfo.volumeId)
    : await Volume.create(destName)

  function voltype(token: string): string {
    // JWT payloads are base64url and often omit padding, so normalize before decoding
    let segment = token.split('.')[1].replace(/-/g, '+').replace(/_/g, '/')
    segment += '='.repeat((4 - (segment.length % 4)) % 4)
    const payload = JSON.parse(atob(segment))
    return payload.voltype
  }

  console.log(`Source volume type:      ${voltype(sourceVolume.token)}`)
  console.log(`Destination volume type: ${voltype(destVolume.token)}`)

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create({
    volumeMounts: {
      '/mnt/source': sourceVolume,
      '/mnt/dest': destVolume,
    },
  })

  try {
    const install = await sandbox.commands.run(
      'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y rsync',
    )
    if (install.exitCode !== 0) {
      throw new Error(`rsync install failed: ${install.stderr}`)
    }

    const result = await sandbox.commands.run('rsync -a /mnt/source/ /mnt/dest/')
    if (result.exitCode !== 0) {
      throw new Error(`Copy failed: ${result.stderr}`)
    }

    const listing = await sandbox.commands.run('ls -la /mnt/dest')
    console.log(listing.stdout)
  } finally {
    await sandbox.kill()
  }
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}

      raise SystemExit(f'Source volume "{source_name}" does not exist')
  source_volume = Volume.connect(source_info.volume_id)

  dest_info = find_volume_by_name(dest_name)
  dest_volume = (
      Volume.connect(dest_info.volume_id) if dest_info else Volume.create(dest_name)
  )

  print(f'Source volume type:      {voltype(source_volume.token)}')
  print(f'Destination volume type: {voltype(dest_volume.token)}')

  sandbox = Sandbox.create(
      volume_mounts={
          '/mnt/source': source_volume,
          '/mnt/dest': dest_volume,
      },
  )

  try:
      install = sandbox.commands.run(
          'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y rsync',
      )
      if install.exit_code != 0:
          raise RuntimeError(f'rsync install failed: {install.stderr}')

      result = sandbox.commands.run('rsync -a /mnt/source/ /mnt/dest/')
      if result.exit_code != 0:
          raise RuntimeError(f'Copy failed: {result.stderr}')

      listing = sandbox.commands.run('ls -la /mnt/dest')
      print(listing.stdout)
  finally:
      sandbox.kill()
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Usage

Run the script with the source and destination volume names. For example, to copy everything from `prod-data` into `prod-data-backup`:

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  export E2B_API_KEY=your-api-key
  npx tsx copy-volume.mts prod-data prod-data-backup
  ```

  ```bash Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  export E2B_API_KEY=your-api-key
  python copy_volume.py prod-data prod-data-backup
  ```
</CodeGroup>

On success it prints a listing of the destination so you can confirm the data landed. The sandbox is always shut down afterward, but both volumes (and their data) persist.


# Mounting volumes
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/volumes/mount

Mount one or more volumes to a sandbox at custom paths when creating it.

You can mount one or more volumes to a sandbox when creating it. The keys of the `volumeMounts` / `volume_mounts` object are the mount paths inside the sandbox.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Volume, Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const volume = await Volume.create('my-volume')

  // You can pass a Volume object
  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create({
    volumeMounts: {
      '/mnt/my-data': volume,
    },
  })

  // Or pass the volume name directly
  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create({
    volumeMounts: {
      '/mnt/my-data': 'my-volume',
    },
  })

  // Files written to /mnt/my-data inside the sandbox are persisted in the volume
  await sandbox.files.write('/mnt/my-data/hello.txt', 'Hello, world!')
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Volume, Sandbox

  volume = Volume.create('my-volume')

  # You can pass a Volume object
  sandbox = Sandbox.create(
      volume_mounts={
          '/mnt/my-data': volume,
      },
  )

  # Or pass the volume name directly
  sandbox = Sandbox.create(
      volume_mounts={
          '/mnt/my-data': 'my-volume',
      },
  )

  # Files written to /mnt/my-data inside the sandbox are persisted in the volume
  sandbox.files.write('/mnt/my-data/hello.txt', 'Hello, world!')
  ```
</CodeGroup>

# Agno
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/agents/agno

Run Agno agents with E2B's secure Python sandbox.

[Agno](https://agno.com/) is a Python framework for building agents, teams, and workflows. Its official [`E2BTools`](https://docs.agno.com/tools/toolkits/others/e2b) toolkit gives an Agno agent an E2B sandbox for Python execution, file operations, commands, and web servers.

## Install the dependencies

Install Agno, the E2B Code Interpreter SDK, and the OpenAI provider used in the example:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
uv pip install agno e2b_code_interpreter openai
```

Set the API keys for E2B and your model provider:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
export E2B_API_KEY="e2b_..."
export OPENAI_API_KEY="..."
```

## Run an agent in an E2B sandbox

Create an `E2BTools` instance and pass it to the agent. The agent can use the toolkit to run Python code in an isolated E2B sandbox instead of on the machine running Agno.

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.models.openai import OpenAIResponses
from agno.tools.e2b import E2BTools


e2b_tools = E2BTools(
    timeout=600,
    sandbox_options={"allow_internet_access": False},
    include_tools=["run_python_code"],
)
try:
    agent = Agent(
        name="Code Execution Sandbox",
        id="e2b-sandbox",
        model=OpenAIResponses(id="gpt-5.4-mini"),
        tools=[e2b_tools],
        markdown=True,
        instructions=[
            "Use the E2B sandbox to execute Python code for calculations.",
            "Verify the result before responding.",
        ],
    )
    agent.print_response(
        "Write Python code to generate the first 10 Fibonacci numbers."
    )
finally:
    e2b_tools.shutdown_sandbox()
```

## Choose an explicit tool allowlist

Without an explicit allowlist, `E2BTools` can expose tools for code execution, file operations, filesystem access, commands, internet access, and sandbox management. Start with only the capabilities the agent needs:

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
e2b_tools = E2BTools(
    timeout=600,
    sandbox_options={"allow_internet_access": False},
    include_tools=[
        "run_python_code",
        "list_files",
        "read_file_content",
        "write_file_content",
    ],
)
```

An `include_tools` allowlist limits callable function names, not their arguments or paths. The complete toolkit includes host-to-sandbox and sandbox-to-host file-transfer helpers: `upload_file(file_path, sandbox_path=None)` accepts a local path on the machine running Agno, while `download_file_from_sandbox(sandbox_path, local_path=None)` can write sandbox content to a local path on that machine. Do not expose these helpers to an untrusted agent unless your application enforces an allowlist of host paths or provides a safe wrapper that fixes or validates every host path.

## Sandbox lifecycle

An `E2BTools` instance creates one sandbox when it is initialized and reuses it for subsequent tool calls. Set `timeout` to a bounded value appropriate for the workload, and call `shutdown_sandbox()` when the agent no longer needs the sandbox. If you use `include_tools`, keep `shutdown_sandbox` in the allowlist or call it directly from your application during cleanup.

Python code and commands run inside the E2B sandbox, but the toolkit also contains host-side file-transfer helpers. Treat model-generated code and tool output as untrusted data, do not expose host secrets or unrestricted host paths, validate outputs before passing them to trusted systems, and prefer an explicit `include_tools` allowlist.

The tool allowlist does not control outbound network access from code running in the sandbox. Set `sandbox_options={"allow_internet_access": False}` when the workload does not need the internet. When it does, enable access deliberately and apply [network restrictions](/network/internet-access).

# Amp
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/agents/amp

Run Amp in a secure E2B sandbox with full filesystem, terminal, and git access.

[Amp](https://ampcode.com) is a coding agent with multi-model architecture and built-in code intelligence. E2B provides a pre-built `amp` template with Amp already installed.

## CLI

Create a sandbox with the [E2B CLI](/cli).

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
e2b sbx create amp
```

Once inside the sandbox, start Amp.

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
amp
```

## Run headless

Use `-x` for non-interactive mode and `--dangerously-allow-all` to auto-approve all tool calls. The sandbox isolates the agent from your host machine, but sandboxes can reach the open internet by default — restrict outbound traffic with [network rules](/network/internet-access). Amp uses its own API key from [ampcode.com/settings](https://ampcode.com/settings).

<Note>
  Auto-approving tool calls is contained by the sandbox: the agent cannot touch your host machine, local files, or credentials. It can still make outbound network requests — internet access is enabled by default. To limit where an auto-approved agent can connect, configure [outbound network rules](/network/internet-access) (`allowInternetAccess`, plus allow/deny lists by CIDR or hostname). Hostname rules apply to HTTP(S) traffic only; use CIDR rules for other protocols.
</Note>

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create('amp', {
    envs: { AMP_API_KEY: process.env.AMP_API_KEY },
  })

  const result = await sandbox.commands.run(
    `amp --dangerously-allow-all -x "Create a hello world HTTP server in Go"`
  )

  console.log(result.stdout)
  await sandbox.kill()
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import os
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create("amp", envs={
      "AMP_API_KEY": os.environ["AMP_API_KEY"],
  })

  result = sandbox.commands.run(
      'amp --dangerously-allow-all -x "Create a hello world HTTP server in Go"',
  )

  print(result.stdout)
  sandbox.kill()
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Example: work on a cloned repository

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create('amp', {
    envs: { AMP_API_KEY: process.env.AMP_API_KEY },
    timeoutMs: 600_000,
  })

  await sandbox.commands.run(
    'git clone --depth 1 https://x-access-token:$GITHUB_TOKEN@github.com/your-org/your-repo.git /home/user/repo',
    { envs: { GITHUB_TOKEN: process.env.GITHUB_TOKEN } }
  )

  const result = await sandbox.commands.run(
    `cd /home/user/repo && amp --dangerously-allow-all -x "Add error handling to all API endpoints"`,
    { onStdout: (data) => process.stdout.write(data) }
  )

  const diff = await sandbox.commands.run('cd /home/user/repo && git diff')
  console.log(diff.stdout)

  await sandbox.kill()
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}

  sandbox.commands.run(
      "git clone --depth 1 https://x-access-token:$GITHUB_TOKEN@github.com/your-org/your-repo.git /home/user/repo",
      envs={"GITHUB_TOKEN": os.environ["GITHUB_TOKEN"]},
  )

  result = sandbox.commands.run(
      'cd /home/user/repo && amp --dangerously-allow-all -x "Add error handling to all API endpoints"',
      on_stdout=lambda data: print(data, end=""),
  )

  diff = sandbox.commands.run("cd /home/user/repo && git diff")
  print(diff.stdout)

  sandbox.kill()
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Streaming JSON

Use `--stream-json` to get a real-time JSONL event stream with rich metadata — including tool calls, token usage, thinking blocks, and permission decisions.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create('amp', {
    envs: { AMP_API_KEY: process.env.AMP_API_KEY },
  })

  const result = await sandbox.commands.run(
    `cd /home/user/repo && amp --dangerously-allow-all --stream-json -x "Find and fix all TODO comments"`,
    {
      onStdout: (data) => {
        for (const line of data.split('\n').filter(Boolean)) {
          const event = JSON.parse(line)
          if (event.type === 'assistant') {
            console.log(`[assistant] tokens: ${event.message.usage?.output_tokens}`)
          } else if (event.type === 'result') {
            console.log(`[done] ${event.message.subtype} in ${event.message.duration_ms}ms`)
          }
        }
      },
    }
  )

  await sandbox.kill()
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import os
  import json
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create("amp", envs={
      "AMP_API_KEY": os.environ["AMP_API_KEY"],
  })

  def handle_event(data):
      for line in data.strip().split("\n"):
          if line:
              event = json.loads(line)
              if event["type"] == "assistant":
                  usage = event.get("message", {}).get("usage", {})
                  print(f"[assistant] tokens: {usage.get('output_tokens')}")
              elif event["type"] == "result":
                  msg = event["message"]
                  print(f"[done] {msg['subtype']} in {msg['duration_ms']}ms")

  result = sandbox.commands.run(
      'cd /home/user/repo && amp --dangerously-allow-all --stream-json -x "Find and fix all TODO comments"',
      on_stdout=handle_event,
  )

  sandbox.kill()
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Thread management

Amp persists conversations as threads that can be resumed or continued with follow-up tasks.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create('amp', {
    envs: { AMP_API_KEY: process.env.AMP_API_KEY },
    timeoutMs: 600_000,
  })

  // Start a new thread
  const initial = await sandbox.commands.run(
    `cd /home/user/repo && amp --dangerously-allow-all -x "Analyze the codebase and create a refactoring plan"`,
    { onStdout: (data) => process.stdout.write(data) }
  )

  // List threads and get the most recent thread ID
  const threads = await sandbox.commands.run('amp threads list --json')
  const threadId = JSON.parse(threads.stdout)[0].id

  // Continue the thread with a follow-up task
  const followUp = await sandbox.commands.run(
    `cd /home/user/repo && amp threads continue ${threadId} --dangerously-allow-all -x "Now implement step 1 of the plan"`,
    { onStdout: (data) => process.stdout.write(data) }
  )

  const diff = await sandbox.commands.run('cd /home/user/repo && git diff')
  console.log(diff.stdout)

  await sandbox.kill()
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import os
  import json
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create("amp", envs={
      "AMP_API_KEY": os.environ["AMP_API_KEY"],
  }, timeout=600)

  # Start a new thread
  initial = sandbox.commands.run(
      'cd /home/user/repo && amp --dangerously-allow-all -x "Analyze the codebase and create a refactoring plan"',
      on_stdout=lambda data: print(data, end=""),
  )

  # List threads and get the most recent thread ID
  threads = sandbox.commands.run("amp threads list --json")
  thread_id = json.loads(threads.stdout)[0]["id"]

  # Continue the thread with a follow-up task
  follow_up = sandbox.commands.run(
      f'cd /home/user/repo && amp threads continue {thread_id} --dangerously-allow-all -x "Now implement step 1 of the plan"',
      on_stdout=lambda data: print(data, end=""),
  )

  diff = sandbox.commands.run("cd /home/user/repo && git diff")
  print(diff.stdout)

  sandbox.kill()
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Build a custom template

If you need to customize the environment (e.g. pre-install dependencies, add config files), build your own template on top of the pre-built `amp` template.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  // template.ts
  import { Template } from 'e2b'

  export const template = Template()
    .fromTemplate('amp')
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  # template.py
  from e2b import Template

  template = (
      Template()
      .from_template("amp")
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  // build.ts
  import { Template, defaultBuildLogger } from 'e2b'
  import { template as ampTemplate } from './template'

  await Template.build(ampTemplate, 'my-amp', {
    cpuCount: 2,
    memoryMB: 2048,
    onBuildLogs: defaultBuildLogger(),
  })
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  # build.py
  from e2b import Template, default_build_logger
  from template import template as amp_template

  Template.build(amp_template, "my-amp",
      cpu_count=2,
      memory_mb=2048,
      on_build_logs=default_build_logger(),
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

Run the build script to create the template.

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  npx tsx build.ts
  ```

  ```bash Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  python build.py
  ```

[Claude Code](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code) is Anthropic's agentic coding tool. E2B provides a pre-built `claude` template with Claude Code already installed.

## CLI

Create a sandbox with the [E2B CLI](/cli).

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
e2b sbx create claude
```

Once inside the sandbox, start Claude Code.

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
claude
```

## Run headless

Use `-p` for non-interactive mode and `--dangerously-skip-permissions` to auto-approve all tool calls. The sandbox isolates the agent from your host machine, but sandboxes can reach the open internet by default — restrict outbound traffic with [network rules](/network/internet-access) if the agent processes untrusted input or handles secrets.

<Note>
  Auto-approving tool calls is contained by the sandbox: the agent cannot touch your host machine, local files, or credentials. It can still make outbound network requests — internet access is enabled by default. To limit where an auto-approved agent can connect, configure [outbound network rules](/network/internet-access) (`allowInternetAccess`, plus allow/deny lists by CIDR or hostname). Hostname rules apply to HTTP(S) traffic only; use CIDR rules for other protocols.
</Note>

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create('claude', {
    envs: { ANTHROPIC_API_KEY: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY },
  })

  const result = await sandbox.commands.run(
    `claude --dangerously-skip-permissions -p "Create a hello world HTTP server in Go"`
  )

  console.log(result.stdout)
  await sandbox.kill()
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import os
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create("claude", envs={
      "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": os.environ["ANTHROPIC_API_KEY"],
  })

  result = sandbox.commands.run(
      'claude --dangerously-skip-permissions -p "Create a hello world HTTP server in Go"',
  )

  print(result.stdout)
  sandbox.kill()
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Example: work on a cloned repository

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create('claude', {
    envs: { ANTHROPIC_API_KEY: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY },
    timeoutMs: 600_000,
  })

  await sandbox.commands.run(
    'git clone --depth 1 https://x-access-token:$GITHUB_TOKEN@github.com/your-org/your-repo.git /home/user/repo',
    { envs: { GITHUB_TOKEN: process.env.GITHUB_TOKEN } }
  )

  const result = await sandbox.commands.run(
    `cd /home/user/repo && claude --dangerously-skip-permissions -p "Add error handling to all API endpoints"`,
    { onStdout: (data) => process.stdout.write(data) }
  )

  const diff = await sandbox.commands.run('cd /home/user/repo && git diff')
  console.log(diff.stdout)

  await sandbox.kill()
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import os
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create("claude", envs={
      "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": os.environ["ANTHROPIC_API_KEY"],
  }, timeout=600)

  sandbox.commands.run(
      "git clone --depth 1 https://x-access-token:$GITHUB_TOKEN@github.com/your-org/your-repo.git /home/user/repo",
      envs={"GITHUB_TOKEN": os.environ["GITHUB_TOKEN"]},
  )

  result = sandbox.commands.run(
      'cd /home/user/repo && claude --dangerously-skip-permissions -p "Add error handling to all API endpoints"',
      on_stdout=lambda data: print(data, end=""),
  )

  diff = sandbox.commands.run("cd /home/user/repo && git diff")
  print(diff.stdout)

  sandbox.kill()
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Structured output

Use `--output-format json` to get machine-readable responses — useful for building pipelines or extracting specific results.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create('claude', {
    envs: { ANTHROPIC_API_KEY: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY },
  })

  const result = await sandbox.commands.run(
    `claude --dangerously-skip-permissions --output-format json -p "Review this codebase and list all security issues as JSON"`
  )

  const response = JSON.parse(result.stdout)
  console.log(response)

  await sandbox.kill()
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import os
  import json
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create("claude", envs={
      "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": os.environ["ANTHROPIC_API_KEY"],
  })

  result = sandbox.commands.run(
      'claude --dangerously-skip-permissions --output-format json -p "Review this codebase and list all security issues as JSON"',
  )

  response = json.loads(result.stdout)
  print(response)

  sandbox.kill()
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Streaming output

Use `--output-format stream-json` to get a real-time JSONL event stream — including tool calls, token usage, and result metadata.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create('claude', {
    envs: { ANTHROPIC_API_KEY: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY },
  })

  const result = await sandbox.commands.run(
    `cd /home/user/repo && claude --dangerously-skip-permissions --output-format stream-json -p "Find and fix all TODO comments"`,
    {
      onStdout: (data) => {
        for (const line of data.split('\n').filter(Boolean)) {
          const event = JSON.parse(line)
          if (event.type === 'assistant') {
            console.log(`[assistant] tokens: ${event.message.usage?.output_tokens}`)
          } else if (event.type === 'result') {
            console.log(`[done] ${event.subtype} in ${event.duration_ms}ms`)
          }
        }
      },
    }
  )

  await sandbox.kill()
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import os
  import json
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create("claude", envs={
      "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": os.environ["ANTHROPIC_API_KEY"],
  })

  def handle_event(data):
      for line in data.strip().split("\n"):
          if line:
              event = json.loads(line)
              if event["type"] == "assistant":
                  usage = event.get("message", {}).get("usage", {})
                  print(f"[assistant] tokens: {usage.get('output_tokens')}")
              elif event["type"] == "result":
                  print(f"[done] {event['subtype']} in {event['duration_ms']}ms")

  result = sandbox.commands.run(
      'cd /home/user/repo && claude --dangerously-skip-permissions --output-format stream-json -p "Find and fix all TODO comments"',
      on_stdout=handle_event,
  )

  sandbox.kill()
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Resume a session

Claude Code persists conversations that can be resumed with follow-up tasks using `--resume`.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create('claude', {
    envs: { ANTHROPIC_API_KEY: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY },
    timeoutMs: 600_000,
  })

  // Start a new session
  const initial = await sandbox.commands.run(
    `cd /home/user/repo && claude --dangerously-skip-permissions --output-format json -p "Analyze the codebase and create a refactoring plan"`
  )

  // Extract session ID from the JSON response
  const response = JSON.parse(initial.stdout)
  const sessionId = response.session_id

  // Continue with a follow-up task
  const followUp = await sandbox.commands.run(
    `cd /home/user/repo && claude --dangerously-skip-permissions --resume ${sessionId} -p "Now implement step 1 of the plan"`,
    { onStdout: (data) => process.stdout.write(data) }
  )

  const diff = await sandbox.commands.run('cd /home/user/repo && git diff')
  console.log(diff.stdout)

  await sandbox.kill()
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import os
  import json
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create("claude", envs={
      "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": os.environ["ANTHROPIC_API_KEY"],
  }, timeout=600)

  # Start a new session
  initial = sandbox.commands.run(
      'cd /home/user/repo && claude --dangerously-skip-permissions --output-format json -p "Analyze the codebase and create a refactoring plan"',
  )

  # Extract session ID from the JSON response
  response = json.loads(initial.stdout)
  session_id = response["session_id"]

  # Continue with a follow-up task
  follow_up = sandbox.commands.run(
      f'cd /home/user/repo && claude --dangerously-skip-permissions --resume {session_id} -p "Now implement step 1 of the plan"',
      on_stdout=lambda data: print(data, end=""),
  )

  diff = sandbox.commands.run("cd /home/user/repo && git diff")
  print(diff.stdout)

  sandbox.kill()
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Custom system prompt

Write a `CLAUDE.md` file into the sandbox for project context or use `--system-prompt` to provide task-specific instructions.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create('claude', {
    envs: { ANTHROPIC_API_KEY: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY },
  })

  // Write project context
  await sandbox.files.write('/home/user/repo/CLAUDE.md', `
  You are working on a Go microservice.
  Always use structured logging with slog.
  Follow the project's error handling conventions in pkg/errors.
  `)

  const result = await sandbox.commands.run(
    `cd /home/user/repo && claude --dangerously-skip-permissions -p "Add a /healthz endpoint"`
  )

  console.log(result.stdout)
  await sandbox.kill()
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import os
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create("claude", envs={
      "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": os.environ["ANTHROPIC_API_KEY"],
  })

  # Write project context
  sandbox.files.write("/home/user/repo/CLAUDE.md", """
  You are working on a Go microservice.
  Always use structured logging with slog.
  Follow the project's error handling conventions in pkg/errors.
  """)

  result = sandbox.commands.run(
      'cd /home/user/repo && claude --dangerously-skip-permissions -p "Add a /healthz endpoint"',
  )

  print(result.stdout)
  sandbox.kill()
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Connect MCP tools

Claude Code has built-in support for [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/). E2B provides an [MCP gateway](/mcp-gateway) that gives Claude access to 200+ tools from the [Docker MCP Catalog](https://hub.docker.com/mcp).

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create('claude', {
    envs: { ANTHROPIC_API_KEY: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY },
    mcp: {
      browserbase: {
        apiKey: process.env.BROWSERBASE_API_KEY,
        projectId: process.env.BROWSERBASE_PROJECT_ID,
      },
    },
  })

  const mcpUrl = sandbox.getMcpUrl()
  const mcpToken = await sandbox.getMcpToken()

  await sandbox.commands.run(
    `claude mcp add --transport http e2b-mcp-gateway ${mcpUrl} --header "Authorization: Bearer ${mcpToken}"`
  )

  const result = await sandbox.commands.run(
    `claude --dangerously-skip-permissions -p "Use browserbase to research E2B and summarize your findings"`,
    { onStdout: console.log }
  )

  await sandbox.kill()
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import os
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create("claude", envs={
      "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": os.environ["ANTHROPIC_API_KEY"],
  }, mcp={
      "browserbase": {
          "apiKey": os.environ["BROWSERBASE_API_KEY"],
          "projectId": os.environ["BROWSERBASE_PROJECT_ID"],
      },
  })

  mcp_url = sandbox.get_mcp_url()
  mcp_token = sandbox.get_mcp_token()

  sandbox.commands.run(
      f'claude mcp add --transport http e2b-mcp-gateway {mcp_url} --header "Authorization: Bearer {mcp_token}"',
  )

  result = sandbox.commands.run(
      'claude --dangerously-skip-permissions -p "Use browserbase to research E2B and summarize your findings"',
      on_stdout=lambda data: print(data, end=""),
  )

  sandbox.kill()
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Build a custom template

If you need to customize the environment (e.g. pre-install dependencies, add config files), build your own template on top of the pre-built `claude` template.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  // template.ts
  import { Template } from 'e2b'

  export const template = Template()
    .fromTemplate('claude')
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  # template.py
  from e2b import Template

  template = (
      Template()
      .from_template("claude")
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  // build.ts
  import { Template, defaultBuildLogger } from 'e2b'
  import { template as claudeCodeTemplate } from './template'

  await Template.build(claudeCodeTemplate, 'my-claude', {
    cpuCount: 2,
    memoryMB: 2048,
    onBuildLogs: defaultBuildLogger(),
  })
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  # build.py
  from e2b import Template, default_build_logger
  from template import template as claude_code_template

  Template.build(claude_code_template, "my-claude",
      cpu_count=2,
      memory_mb=2048,
      on_build_logs=default_build_logger(),
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

Run the build script to create the template.

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  npx tsx build.ts
  ```

  ```bash Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  python build.py
  ```

# Claude Managed Agents
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/agents/claude-managed-agents

Use E2B as the sandbox runtime for Claude Managed Agents self-hosted environments.

[Claude Managed Agents](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/managed-agents/overview) can use a self-hosted environment when you want tool calls to run in your own infrastructure. Claude runs the agentic loop and reasoning process; E2B provides isolated sandbox infrastructure for the environment where tool calls execute. The reusable `E2B/claude-managed-agents-webhooks` template receives webhooks and routes each Claude Managed Agents session to a persistent E2B worker sandbox.

<Info>
  This separation is intentional for security: Claude decides what work to do, while the sandbox contains the execution environment, filesystem, tools, network access, and runtime logs.
</Info>

<Info>
  For the full source, local setup scripts, and app-owned routing examples, see the [Claude Managed Agents cookbook](https://github.com/e2b-dev/e2b-cookbook/tree/main/examples/anthropic-managed-agents).
</Info>

## Install dependencies

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  npm install e2b @anthropic-ai/sdk
  ```

  ```bash Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  pip install e2b anthropic
  ```
</CodeGroup>

Export the values you will pass to the webhook sandbox:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
# E2B dashboard API keys: https://console.e2b.dev/?tab=keys
export E2B_API_KEY="..."

# Claude Console API keys: https://console.anthropic.com/settings/keys
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="..."

# Claude Console environments: https://platform.claude.com/workspaces/default/environments
export ANTHROPIC_ENVIRONMENT_ID="..."

# Open the self-hosted environment in the Claude Console and click Generate environment key.
export ANTHROPIC_ENVIRONMENT_KEY="..."
```

## Start the webhook sandbox

Start the public template with auto-resume enabled. The template starts a webhook server on port `8000`.
Because the signing key only appears after you register a webhook endpoint, write the router config now and add the signing key to the same sandbox after registration.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create('E2B/claude-managed-agents-webhooks', {
    lifecycle: { onTimeout: 'pause', autoResume: true },
  })

  await sandbox.files.write([
    {
      path: '/opt/anthropic-managed-agents-js/config/e2b-api-key',
      data: `${process.env.E2B_API_KEY}\n`,
    },
    {
      path: '/opt/anthropic-managed-agents-js/config/anthropic-api-key',
      data: `${process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY}\n`,
    },
    {
      path: '/opt/anthropic-managed-agents-js/config/anthropic-environment-id',
      data: `${process.env.ANTHROPIC_ENVIRONMENT_ID}\n`,
    },
    {
      path: '/opt/anthropic-managed-agents-js/config/anthropic-environment-key',
      data: `${process.env.ANTHROPIC_ENVIRONMENT_KEY}\n`,
    },
  ])

  console.log(`Webhook URL: https://${sandbox.getHost(8000)}/webhook`)
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import os
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create(
      "E2B/claude-managed-agents-webhooks",
      lifecycle={"on_timeout": "pause", "auto_resume": True},
  )

  sandbox.files.write(
      "/opt/anthropic-managed-agents-js/config/e2b-api-key",
      f"{os.environ['E2B_API_KEY']}\n",
  )
  sandbox.files.write(
      "/opt/anthropic-managed-agents-js/config/anthropic-api-key",
      f"{os.environ['ANTHROPIC_API_KEY']}\n",
  )
  sandbox.files.write(
      "/opt/anthropic-managed-agents-js/config/anthropic-environment-id",
      f"{os.environ['ANTHROPIC_ENVIRONMENT_ID']}\n",
  )
  sandbox.files.write(
      "/opt/anthropic-managed-agents-js/config/anthropic-environment-key",
      f"{os.environ['ANTHROPIC_ENVIRONMENT_KEY']}\n",
  )

  print(f"Webhook URL: https://{sandbox.get_host(8000)}/webhook")
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Info>
  At this point `/health` returns `200`, but `/webhook` returns `503` until the signing key is configured. Keep this sandbox running or paused; registering a different sandbox URL means writing the signing key into that sandbox instead.
</Info>

## Register the webhook

In the [Claude Console webhooks settings](https://platform.claude.com/settings/workspaces/default/webhooks), create a webhook endpoint using the printed URL:

```text theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
https://<sandbox-host>/webhook
```

Subscribe it to:

```text theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
session.status_run_started
```

Save the generated signing key, export it locally, then write it into the same webhook sandbox.

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
export ANTHROPIC_WEBHOOK_SIGNING_KEY="whsec_..."
```

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  await sandbox.files.write(
    '/opt/anthropic-managed-agents-js/config/anthropic-webhook-signing-key',
    `${process.env.ANTHROPIC_WEBHOOK_SIGNING_KEY}\n`,
  )
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  sandbox.files.write(
      "/opt/anthropic-managed-agents-js/config/anthropic-webhook-signing-key",
      f"{os.environ['ANTHROPIC_WEBHOOK_SIGNING_KEY']}\n",
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Run an end-to-end smoke test

Create or select a Claude Managed Agents agent in the [Claude Console](https://platform.claude.com/workspaces/default/agents), then create a session with that agent and the same `ANTHROPIC_ENVIRONMENT_ID` you wrote into the webhook sandbox. Creating the session does not start work; the `user.message` event does.

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
export ANTHROPIC_AGENT_ID="agent_..."
```

Use a small shell task for the first smoke test:

```text theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
Use bash to echo webhook-smoke-ok. Answer only with that text.
```

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import Claude from '@anthropic-ai/sdk'

  const client = new Claude({
    apiKey: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY,
  })

  const session = await client.beta.sessions.create({
    agent: process.env.ANTHROPIC_AGENT_ID!,
    environment_id: process.env.ANTHROPIC_ENVIRONMENT_ID!,
    title: 'E2B webhook smoke',
  })

  await client.beta.sessions.events.send(session.id, {
    events: [
      {
        type: 'user.message',
        content: [
          {
            type: 'text',
            text: 'Use bash to echo webhook-smoke-ok. Answer only with that text.',
          },
        ],
      },
    ],
  })

  console.log(`Session ID: ${session.id}`)
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import os
  from anthropic import Anthropic as Claude

  client = Claude(api_key=os.environ["ANTHROPIC_API_KEY"])

  session = client.beta.sessions.create(
      agent=os.environ["ANTHROPIC_AGENT_ID"],
      environment_id=os.environ["ANTHROPIC_ENVIRONMENT_ID"],
      title="E2B webhook smoke",
  )

  client.beta.sessions.events.send(
      session.id,
      events=[
          {
              "type": "user.message",
              "content": [
                  {
                      "type": "text",
                      "text": "Use bash to echo webhook-smoke-ok. Answer only with that text.",
                  },
              ],
          },
      ],
  )

  print(f"Session ID: {session.id}")
  ```
</CodeGroup>

Claude should answer:

```text theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
webhook-smoke-ok
```

Then check the webhook sandbox:

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  const health = await fetch(`https://${sandbox.getHost(8000)}/health`)
  console.log(await health.json())

  const logs = await sandbox.commands.run(
    'tail -200 /opt/anthropic-managed-agents-js/webhook.log || true',
  )
  console.log(logs.stdout)

  const assignments = await sandbox.commands.run(
    'cat /opt/anthropic-managed-agents-js/.managed-agent-sandbox-store.json || true',
  )
  console.log(assignments.stdout)
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import json
  import urllib.request

  with urllib.request.urlopen(f"https://{sandbox.get_host(8000)}/health") as response:
      print(json.loads(response.read()))

  logs = sandbox.commands.run(
      "tail -200 /opt/anthropic-managed-agents-js/webhook.log || true",
  )
  print(logs.stdout)

  assignments = sandbox.commands.run(
      "cat /opt/anthropic-managed-agents-js/.managed-agent-sandbox-store.json || true",
  )
  print(assignments.stdout)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

A healthy run has:

* `/health` returning `ok: true`.
* Router logs showing `routing work` and `assigned session`.
* A session-to-sandbox assignment in the router's assignment store.
* The assigned worker sandbox's `worker.log` showing the shell tool execution and successful results posted back to Claude.
* The Claude Managed Agents session returning to `session.status_idle`.

The assignment store records the worker sandbox ID for each routed session. Connect to that sandbox and check `/opt/anthropic-managed-agents-js/worker.log` when you need the tool execution logs.

If the session stays at `requires_action`, check `/opt/anthropic-managed-agents-js/webhook.log` in the router sandbox first, then check `/opt/anthropic-managed-agents-js/worker.log` in the assigned worker sandbox. Stale environment keys, missing signing keys, archived sessions, and failed tool-result posts show up there.

## Runtime behavior

The worker sandbox runs tool calls with `/mnt/session` as its workdir. File tools are constrained to that workdir, skills are downloaded under `/mnt/session/skills/<name>/`, and generated artifacts should be written under `/mnt/session/outputs`.

The webhook sandbox is the router. It keeps a session-to-sandbox assignment store and starts worker sandboxes with E2B auto-resume and pause-on-timeout settings.

## Session-scoped sandboxes

By default, the public webhook template gives each Claude Managed Agents session its own E2B worker sandbox. Follow-up turns for the same session reconnect to the same worker and reuse its `/mnt/session` filesystem. The sandbox is the isolated execution environment, not the place where Claude's reasoning loop runs.

Use [cloud buckets](/storage/cloud-buckets), [Archil](/storage/archil), or [volumes](/volumes) when files need to outlive a sandbox or be shared across many sandboxes.

If you want to run that router in your own service instead of in E2B, use the cookbook's [`app-webhooks/` example](https://github.com/e2b-dev/e2b-cookbook/tree/main/examples/anthropic-managed-agents/javascript/app-webhooks). It receives webhooks in your app, claims work there, and routes each session to its own E2B sandbox by default.

## Clean up

Remove the webhook endpoint in the Claude Console before deleting the router sandbox. Then kill the router sandbox and any assigned worker sandboxes you no longer need.

# Claude Toolsets
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/agents/claude-toolsets

Run Claude Sonnet 5.5 browser use and computer use on private E2B desktop sandboxes.

Claude Toolsets is a browser use and computer use package that lets you run Claude Sonnet 5.5, trained specifically for Anthropic's browser and computer use toolsets, on E2B sandboxes. It ships special tools for both: `E2BBrowserToolset` drives Chrome through the page itself (elements, forms, tabs, navigation), and `E2BComputerToolset` drives the whole Linux desktop through screenshots, mouse and keyboard, so Claude can work in any desktop app, from a terminal to a LibreOffice spreadsheet. Each sandbox is a private cloud desktop that you can watch live while Claude works.

## How it works

The Claude SDK defines the toolsets (`browser_toolset_20260801` and `computer_toolset_20260801`): it parses the model's input, asks for confirmation, and renders each result for the model. Claude Toolsets is the E2B driver underneath, which executes every action inside an E2B desktop sandbox instead of on your machine.

1. **Create a toolset.** It creates a desktop sandbox, or attaches to one you pass in.
2. **Pass it in `tools`.** The toolset instance is the `tools[]` entry; there is no wrapper.
3. **Run the tool runner.** The SDK's tool runner calls the toolset for every action Claude takes.
4. **Close it.** The tool runner never closes a toolset. Use `try`/`finally` in TypeScript and `with` in Python.

| Toolset | Works on | How |
| - | - | - |
| `E2BBrowserToolset` | Websites in Chrome | The page itself: accessibility tree, elements, forms, tabs |
| `E2BComputerToolset` | The whole desktop | Screenshots, mouse and keyboard |

## Install

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  npm i @e2b/claude-toolsets @anthropic-ai/sdk @e2b/desktop
  ```

  ```bash Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  pip install e2b-claude-toolsets anthropic e2b-desktop
  ```
</CodeGroup>

Set `E2B_API_KEY` ([get one](https://e2b.dev/dashboard?tab=keys)) and `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` in your environment.

## Browser use

The browser toolset starts Chrome on an E2B desktop sandbox. Without a `sandbox` option it creates one and kills it on `close()`.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import Anthropic from '@anthropic-ai/sdk'
  import { E2BBrowserToolset, allowHosts } from '@e2b/claude-toolsets'

  const hosts = ['github.com', 'githubassets.com', 'githubusercontent.com']
  const browser = await E2BBrowserToolset.create({
    allowOut: hosts.flatMap((host) => [host, `*.${host}`]), // what the sandbox can reach (E2B firewall)
    urlPolicy: allowHosts(hosts), // where the model may navigate (SDK check)
  })
  try {
    const answer = await new Anthropic().beta.messages.toolRunner({
      model: 'claude-sonnet-5-5',
      max_tokens: 1024,
      tools: [browser],
      messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'How many stars does github.com/e2b-dev/E2B have?' }],
    })
    for (const block of answer.content) if (block.type === 'text') console.log(block.text)
  } finally {
    await browser.close()
  }
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from anthropic import Anthropic
  from e2b_claude_toolsets import E2BBrowserToolset, allow_hosts

  hosts = ["github.com", "githubassets.com", "githubusercontent.com"]
  with E2BBrowserToolset.create(
      allow_out=[h for host in hosts for h in (host, f"*.{host}")],  # what the sandbox can reach (E2B firewall)
      url_policy=allow_hosts(hosts),  # where the model may navigate (SDK check)
  ) as browser:
      answer = Anthropic().beta.messages.tool_runner(
          model="claude-sonnet-5-5",
          max_tokens=1024,
          tools=[browser],
          messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "How many stars does github.com/e2b-dev/E2B have?"}],
      ).until_done()
      print(next(block.text for block in answer.content if block.type == "text"))
  ```
</CodeGroup>

GitHub serves its CSS, scripts and images from `githubassets.com` and `githubusercontent.com`, so those hosts are allowed too.

## Computer use

The computer toolset borrows a desktop sandbox you create. It gives Claude screenshots and mouse and keyboard actions, so it can use any app on the desktop. `liveView` streams that desktop to a local URL so you can watch.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import Anthropic from '@anthropic-ai/sdk'
  import { Sandbox } from '@e2b/desktop'
  import { E2BComputerToolset, liveView } from '@e2b/claude-toolsets'

  const desktop = await Sandbox.create({
    resolution: [1280, 800], // screenshots are sent at this size
    timeoutMs: 600_000,
    network: { allowPublicTraffic: false }, // keeps the desktop stream private
  })
  const view = await liveView(desktop)
  console.log('Watch live:', view.url)
  try {
    const computer = await E2BComputerToolset.create(desktop, {
      confirm: () => true, // required for key, type and hold_key: approves every call (unattended)
    })
    try {
      const answer = await new Anthropic().beta.messages.toolRunner({
        model: 'claude-sonnet-5-5',
        max_tokens: 4096,
        tools: [computer],
        messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Open a text editor and write a short note about E2B.' }],
      })
      for (const block of answer.content) if (block.type === 'text') console.log(block.text)
    } finally {
      await computer.close() // leaves the desktop running
    }
  } finally {
    await view.stop()
    await desktop.kill()
  }
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from anthropic import Anthropic
  from e2b_desktop import Sandbox
  from e2b_claude_toolsets import E2BComputerToolset, live_view

  desktop = Sandbox.create(
      resolution=(1280, 800),  # screenshots are sent at this size
      timeout=600,
      network={"allow_public_traffic": False},  # keeps the desktop stream private
  )
  try:
      with live_view(desktop) as view:
          print("Watch live:", view.url)
          # confirm is required for key, type and hold_key: approves every call (unattended)
          with E2BComputerToolset.create(desktop, confirm=lambda context: True) as computer:
              answer = Anthropic().beta.messages.tool_runner(
                  model="claude-sonnet-5-5",
                  max_tokens=4096,
                  tools=[computer],
                  messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Open a text editor and write a short note about E2B."}],
              ).until_done()
              print("\n".join(block.text for block in answer.content if block.type == "text"))
  finally:
      desktop.kill()
  ```
</CodeGroup>

The `confirm` hook is where an application can ask a person before Claude types or presses keys. Returning `true` approves every call, which suits unattended runs.

## Watch live

`liveView(desktop)` (`live_view` in Python) starts the desktop's VNC stream and serves it on a random loopback URL on your machine. The E2B traffic token stays in your process, so the sandbox keeps `allowPublicTraffic: false` and only you can watch. Stopping the view closes the stream but never kills the desktop.

<Note>
  The live view needs a fresh desktop created with `allowPublicTraffic: false`. It refuses a desktop that already streams, because stopping a stream is sandbox-wide. Do not share the URL.
</Note>

## Use both toolsets on one desktop

Pass both toolsets to the same tool runner and Claude picks the right one per step: the browser toolset for web apps, which is faster and more precise than clicking pixels, and the computer toolset for desktop apps and Chrome's own popups, which the page cannot see. To share one desktop, create it yourself and pass it to the browser toolset as `sandbox`.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  const desktop = await Sandbox.create({
    resolution: [1280, 800],
    network: {
      allowPublicTraffic: false, // required: keeps Chrome's DevTools port and the desktop stream private
      maskRequestHost: 'localhost:${PORT}', // required when the browser toolset attaches
      allowOut: ['example.com'],
      denyOut: ['0.0.0.0/0'],
    },
  })
  const browser = await E2BBrowserToolset.create({ sandbox: desktop, urlPolicy: allowHosts(['example.com']) })
  const computer = await E2BComputerToolset.create(desktop, { confirm: () => true })

  const answer = await new Anthropic().beta.messages.toolRunner({
    model: 'claude-sonnet-5-5',
    max_tokens: 4096,
    tools: [browser, computer],
    messages: [{ role: 'user', content: task }],
  })
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  desktop = Sandbox.create(
      resolution=(1280, 800),
      network={
          "allow_public_traffic": False,  # required: keeps Chrome's DevTools port and the desktop stream private
          "mask_request_host": "localhost:${PORT}",  # required when the browser toolset attaches
          "allow_out": ["example.com"],
          "deny_out": ["0.0.0.0/0"],
      },
  )
  with E2BBrowserToolset.create(sandbox=desktop, url_policy=allow_hosts(["example.com"])) as browser, \
          E2BComputerToolset.create(desktop, confirm=lambda context: True) as computer:
      answer = Anthropic().beta.messages.tool_runner(
          model="claude-sonnet-5-5",
          max_tokens=4096,
          tools=[browser, computer],
          messages=[{"role": "user", "content": task}],
      ).until_done()
  ```
</CodeGroup>

For a full run, see the [Excel to OrangeHRM example](https://github.com/e2b-dev/e2b-cookbook/tree/main/examples/anthropic-computer-use-orangehrm-js) in the E2B cookbook: Claude reads new hires from a spreadsheet in LibreOffice Calc with computer use, enters each one into the OrangeHRM web app with browser use, and writes the assigned Employee Ids back into the spreadsheet.

## Network control

Use both layers. They check different things.

| Layer | Option | Enforced by | What it limits |
| - | - | - | - |
| Sandbox egress | `allowOut` / `allow_out`, or `network.allowOut` on your own sandbox | E2B, outside the browser | Every connection the sandbox makes |
| URL policy | `urlPolicy: allowHosts([...])` / `url_policy=allow_hosts([...])` | The Claude SDK, before each navigation | Where the model may navigate |

Egress is fixed when the sandbox is created; a URL policy does not change it. `allowHosts` permits HTTP(S) hosts and their subdomains. It is a sample policy, not a DNS firewall, so keep sandbox egress restrictive for sensitive browsing.

## Sandbox ownership

You close what you create:

* **Toolset creates the sandbox** (no `sandbox` option): `close()` kills it. Creation options are `apiKey`, `template` (default `desktop`), `allowOut`, `timeoutMs` (default 10 minutes; `timeout` in seconds in Python) and `metadata`.
* **You pass a sandbox**: the toolset borrows it, and `close()` stops only the Chrome it started and leaves the sandbox running. The sandbox must already have `allowPublicTraffic: false` and `maskRequestHost: 'localhost:${PORT}'`; creation options are refused.

On a desktop sandbox, Chrome opens visibly so it shows in the live view. Pass `headless: true` to hide it.

## Optional browser actions

Four browser actions are off by default: `file_upload`, `javascript_exec`, `read_console` and `read_network`. Enable them through the SDK's `configs` option. The SDK refuses to enable them without a `confirm` hook.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  const browser = await E2BBrowserToolset.create({
    allowOut: ['github.com', '*.github.com', 'githubassets.com', '*.githubassets.com'],
    urlPolicy: allowHosts(['github.com']),
    configs: { javascript_exec: { enabled: true } }, // the model can run any script on the page
    confirm: () => true, // required with javascript_exec: approves every call (unattended)
  })
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  browser = E2BBrowserToolset.create(
      allow_out=["github.com", "*.github.com", "githubassets.com", "*.githubassets.com"],
      url_policy=allow_hosts(["github.com"]),
      configs={"javascript_exec": {"enabled": True}},  # the model can run any script on the page
      confirm=lambda context: True,  # required with javascript_exec: approves every call (unattended)
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Python async

Python has native asyncio drivers next to the sync ones: `AsyncE2BBrowserToolset` and `AsyncE2BComputerToolset`. They accept the same options and borrow an `e2b.AsyncSandbox`.

```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
from anthropic import AsyncAnthropic
from e2b_claude_toolsets import AsyncE2BBrowserToolset, allow_hosts

async def browse():
    async with await AsyncE2BBrowserToolset.create(
        allow_out=["example.com"], url_policy=allow_hosts(["example.com"]),
    ) as browser, AsyncAnthropic() as client:
        return await client.beta.messages.tool_runner(
            model="claude-sonnet-5-5",
            max_tokens=1024,
            tools=[browser],
            messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Read https://example.com"}],
        ).until_done()
```

## Supported actions

| Toolset | Actions |
| - | - |
| Browser: navigation and capture | `navigate` (URL, back, forward, reload), `screenshot`, `zoom` |
| Browser: mouse | `left_click`, `right_click`, `middle_click`, `double_click`, `triple_click`, `hover`, `left_click_drag`, `left_mouse_down`, `left_mouse_up`, `mouse_move`, `scroll`, `scroll_to` |
| Browser: input and reading | `type`, `key`, `hold_key`, `form_input`, `read_page`, `find`, `get_page_text`, `wait` |
| Browser: tabs | `new_tab`, `list_tabs`, `switch_tab`, `close_tab` |
| Browser: optional | `file_upload`, `javascript_exec`, `read_console`, `read_network` |
| Computer | `screenshot`, `cursor_position`, `mouse_move`, `left_click`, `right_click`, `middle_click`, `double_click`, `triple_click`, `left_mouse_down`, `left_mouse_up`, `left_click_drag`, `scroll`, `key`, `hold_key`, `type`, `wait` |

## Limits

* **Screen size:** browser viewport and desktop resolution up to 2560×1440 pixels in total, default 1280×800. Larger sizes are refused rather than silently scaled, because the API would shrink the screenshots and clicks would miss. At 1280×800 each screenshot costs about 1,400 tokens.
* **Fixed resolution:** keep the desktop resolution fixed for the whole run. Coordinates are screenshot pixels.
* **Input:** waits and held keys are limited to 30 seconds, key repeats to 100. Input assumes a US keyboard layout.
* **Downloads** stay in the sandbox. Their bytes are never added to the conversation.

# Codex
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/agents/codex

Run OpenAI Codex in a secure E2B sandbox with full filesystem, terminal, and git access.

[Codex](https://github.com/openai/codex) is OpenAI's open-source coding agent. E2B provides a pre-built `codex` template with Codex already installed.

## CLI

Create a sandbox with the [E2B CLI](/cli).

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
e2b sbx create codex
```

Once inside the sandbox, start Codex.

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
codex
```

## Run headless

Use `codex exec` for non-interactive mode and `--full-auto` to auto-approve tool calls. The sandbox isolates the agent from your host machine, but sandboxes can reach the open internet by default — restrict outbound traffic with [network rules](/network/internet-access). Pass `--skip-git-repo-check` to bypass git directory ownership checks inside the sandbox. Pass `CODEX_API_KEY` as an environment variable.

<Note>
  Auto-approving tool calls is contained by the sandbox: the agent cannot touch your host machine, local files, or credentials. It can still make outbound network requests — internet access is enabled by default. To limit where an auto-approved agent can connect, configure [outbound network rules](/network/internet-access) (`allowInternetAccess`, plus allow/deny lists by CIDR or hostname). Hostname rules apply to HTTP(S) traffic only; use CIDR rules for other protocols.
</Note>

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create('codex', {
    envs: { CODEX_API_KEY: process.env.CODEX_API_KEY },
  })

  const result = await sandbox.commands.run(
    `codex exec --full-auto --skip-git-repo-check "Create a hello world HTTP server in Go"`
  )

  console.log(result.stdout)
  await sandbox.kill()
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import os
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create("codex", envs={
      "CODEX_API_KEY": os.environ["CODEX_API_KEY"],
  })

  result = sandbox.commands.run(
      'codex exec --full-auto --skip-git-repo-check "Create a hello world HTTP server in Go"',
  )

  print(result.stdout)
  sandbox.kill()
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Example: work on a cloned repository

Use `-C` to set Codex's working directory to a cloned repo.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create('codex', {
    envs: { CODEX_API_KEY: process.env.CODEX_API_KEY },
    timeoutMs: 600_000,
  })

  await sandbox.commands.run(
    'git clone --depth 1 https://x-access-token:$GITHUB_TOKEN@github.com/your-org/your-repo.git /home/user/repo',
    { envs: { GITHUB_TOKEN: process.env.GITHUB_TOKEN } }
  )

  const result = await sandbox.commands.run(
    `codex exec --full-auto --skip-git-repo-check -C /home/user/repo "Add error handling to all API endpoints"`,
    { onStdout: (data) => process.stdout.write(data) }
  )

  const diff = await sandbox.commands.run('cd /home/user/repo && git diff')
  console.log(diff.stdout)

  await sandbox.kill()
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import os
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create("codex", envs={
      "CODEX_API_KEY": os.environ["CODEX_API_KEY"],
  }, timeout=600)

  sandbox.commands.run(
      "git clone --depth 1 https://x-access-token:$GITHUB_TOKEN@github.com/your-org/your-repo.git /home/user/repo",
      envs={"GITHUB_TOKEN": os.environ["GITHUB_TOKEN"]},
  )

  result = sandbox.commands.run(
      'codex exec --full-auto --skip-git-repo-check -C /home/user/repo "Add error handling to all API endpoints"',
      on_stdout=lambda data: print(data, end=""),
  )

  diff = sandbox.commands.run("cd /home/user/repo && git diff")
  print(diff.stdout)

  sandbox.kill()
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Schema-validated output

Use `--output-schema` to constrain the agent's final response to a JSON Schema. This ensures the output conforms to a specific structure — useful for building reliable pipelines.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create('codex', {
    envs: { CODEX_API_KEY: process.env.CODEX_API_KEY },
  })

  await sandbox.files.write('/home/user/schema.json', JSON.stringify({
    type: 'object',
    properties: {
      issues: {
        type: 'array',
        items: {
          type: 'object',
          properties: {
            file: { type: 'string' },
            line: { type: 'number' },
            severity: { type: 'string', enum: ['low', 'medium', 'high', 'critical'] },
            description: { type: 'string' },
          },
          required: ['file', 'severity', 'description'],
        },
      },
    },
    required: ['issues'],
  }))

  const result = await sandbox.commands.run(
    `codex exec --full-auto --skip-git-repo-check --output-schema /home/user/schema.json -C /home/user/repo "Review this codebase for security issues"`
  )

  const response = JSON.parse(result.stdout)
  console.log(response.issues)

  await sandbox.kill()
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import os
  import json
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create("codex", envs={
      "CODEX_API_KEY": os.environ["CODEX_API_KEY"],
  })

  sandbox.files.write("/home/user/schema.json", json.dumps({
      "type": "object",
      "properties": {
          "issues": {
              "type": "array",
              "items": {
                  "type": "object",
                  "properties": {
                      "file": {"type": "string"},
                      "line": {"type": "number"},
                      "severity": {"type": "string", "enum": ["low", "medium", "high", "critical"]},
                      "description": {"type": "string"},
                  },
                  "required": ["file", "severity", "description"],
              },
          },
      },
      "required": ["issues"],
  }))

  result = sandbox.commands.run(
      'codex exec --full-auto --skip-git-repo-check --output-schema /home/user/schema.json -C /home/user/repo "Review this codebase for security issues"',
  )

  response = json.loads(result.stdout)
  print(response["issues"])

  sandbox.kill()
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Streaming events

Use `--json` to get a JSONL event stream. Each line is a JSON object representing an agent event (tool calls, file changes, messages). Progress goes to stderr; events go to stdout.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create('codex', {
    envs: { CODEX_API_KEY: process.env.CODEX_API_KEY },
  })

  const result = await sandbox.commands.run(
    `codex exec --full-auto --skip-git-repo-check --json -C /home/user/repo "Refactor the utils module into separate files"`,
    {
      onStdout: (data) => {
        for (const line of data.split('\n').filter(Boolean)) {
          const event = JSON.parse(line)
          console.log(`[${event.type}]`, event)
        }
      },
    }
  )

  await sandbox.kill()
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import os
  import json
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create("codex", envs={
      "CODEX_API_KEY": os.environ["CODEX_API_KEY"],
  })

  def handle_event(data):
      for line in data.strip().split("\n"):
          if line:
              event = json.loads(line)
              print(f"[{event['type']}]", event)

  result = sandbox.commands.run(
      'codex exec --full-auto --skip-git-repo-check --json -C /home/user/repo "Refactor the utils module into separate files"',
      on_stdout=handle_event,
  )

  sandbox.kill()
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Resume a session

Codex persists sessions (rollout files under `~/.codex/sessions` in the sandbox) that can be resumed with follow-up tasks using `codex exec resume`. Run the first task with `--json` and capture the `thread_id` from the `thread.started` event.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create('codex', {
    envs: { CODEX_API_KEY: process.env.CODEX_API_KEY },
    timeoutMs: 600_000,
  })

  // Start a new session
  const initial = await sandbox.commands.run(
    `codex exec --full-auto --skip-git-repo-check --json "Create plan.md with a 3-step plan for a TODO CLI app"`
  )

  // The first --json event is thread.started
  const threadId = JSON.parse(initial.stdout.trim().split('\n')[0]).thread_id

  // Continue in the same session
  await sandbox.commands.run(
    `codex exec resume ${threadId} --full-auto --skip-git-repo-check "Now implement step 1 of the plan"`,
    { onStdout: (data) => process.stdout.write(data) }
  )

  const plan = await sandbox.commands.run('cat /home/user/plan.md')
  console.log(plan.stdout)

  await sandbox.kill()
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import os
  import json
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create("codex", envs={
      "CODEX_API_KEY": os.environ["CODEX_API_KEY"],
  }, timeout=600)

  # Start a new session
  initial = sandbox.commands.run(
      'codex exec --full-auto --skip-git-repo-check --json "Create plan.md with a 3-step plan for a TODO CLI app"',
  )

  # The first --json event is thread.started
  thread_id = json.loads(initial.stdout.strip().splitlines()[0])["thread_id"]

  # Continue in the same session
  sandbox.commands.run(
      f'codex exec resume {thread_id} --full-auto --skip-git-repo-check "Now implement step 1 of the plan"',
      on_stdout=lambda data: print(data, end=""),
  )

  plan = sandbox.commands.run("cat /home/user/plan.md")
  print(plan.stdout)

  sandbox.kill()
  ```
</CodeGroup>

To simply continue the most recent session in the working directory, use `codex exec resume --last "follow-up task"` — no thread ID needed. When working in a cloned repo, pass `-C` before the `resume` subcommand (`codex exec -C /home/user/repo resume <thread_id> "..."`); it is not accepted after it.

## Image input

Pass screenshots or design mockups with `--image` to give Codex visual context alongside the prompt.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import fs from 'fs'
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create('codex', {
    envs: { CODEX_API_KEY: process.env.CODEX_API_KEY },
    timeoutMs: 600_000,
  })

  // Upload a design mockup to the sandbox
  await sandbox.files.write(
    '/home/user/mockup.png',
    fs.readFileSync('./mockup.png')
  )

  const result = await sandbox.commands.run(
    `codex exec --full-auto --skip-git-repo-check --image /home/user/mockup.png -C /home/user/repo "Implement this UI design as a React component"`,
    { onStdout: (data) => process.stdout.write(data) }
  )

  await sandbox.kill()
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import os
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create("codex", envs={
      "CODEX_API_KEY": os.environ["CODEX_API_KEY"],
  }, timeout=600)

  # Upload a design mockup to the sandbox
  with open("./mockup.png", "rb") as f:
      sandbox.files.write("/home/user/mockup.png", f)

  result = sandbox.commands.run(
      'codex exec --full-auto --skip-git-repo-check --image /home/user/mockup.png -C /home/user/repo "Implement this UI design as a React component"',
      on_stdout=lambda data: print(data, end=""),
  )

  sandbox.kill()
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Build a custom template

If you need to customize the environment (e.g. pre-install dependencies, add config files), build your own template on top of the pre-built `codex` template.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  // template.ts
  import { Template } from 'e2b'

  export const template = Template()
    .fromTemplate('codex')
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  # template.py
  from e2b import Template

  template = (
      Template()
      .from_template("codex")
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  // build.ts
  import { Template, defaultBuildLogger } from 'e2b'
  import { template as codexTemplate } from './template'

  await Template.build(codexTemplate, 'my-codex', {
    cpuCount: 2,
    memoryMB: 2048,
    onBuildLogs: defaultBuildLogger(),
  })
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  # build.py
  from e2b import Template, default_build_logger
  from template import template as codex_template

  Template.build(codex_template, "my-codex",
      cpu_count=2,
      memory_mb=2048,
      on_build_logs=default_build_logger(),
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

Run the build script to create the template.

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  npx tsx build.ts
  ```

  ```bash Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  python build.py
  ```

# Crabbox with E2B
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/agents/crabbox

Run Crabbox test and execution workflows on E2B sandboxes.

[Crabbox](https://github.com/openclaw/crabbox) is a remote software testing and execution control plane for maintainers and AI agents. Use its E2B provider when you want Crabbox to create an E2B Linux sandbox, sync your working tree, run a command, stream output, and clean up from one CLI command.

## Install

Install Crabbox locally.

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
brew install openclaw/tap/crabbox
crabbox --version
```

## Configure E2B

Export your E2B API key before running Crabbox.

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
export E2B_API_KEY=e2b_...
```

You can select E2B per command with `--provider e2b`, or set it in a repo-level Crabbox config.

```yaml .crabbox.yaml theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
provider: e2b
target: linux
e2b:
  template: base
  workdir: crabbox
```

`template` is the E2B template to create. `workdir` is the directory where Crabbox syncs and runs your project inside the sandbox.

## Run tests

Run a command in a fresh E2B sandbox.

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
crabbox run --provider e2b -- echo crabbox-e2b-ok
```

Use an existing warm sandbox for repeated runs.

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
crabbox warmup --provider e2b --e2b-template base
lease="<lease-or-slug>"
crabbox run --provider e2b --id "$lease" -- echo crabbox-e2b-ok
crabbox status --provider e2b --id "$lease" --wait
crabbox stop --provider e2b "$lease"
```

Run in a custom E2B workdir.

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
crabbox run --provider e2b --e2b-workdir repo -- echo crabbox-e2b-ok
```

## How it works

With `provider: e2b`, Crabbox uses E2B sandbox lifecycle, file upload, and process APIs instead of SSH. Crabbox owns local config, sync manifests, command orchestration, output streaming, and normalized `list` / `status` behavior. E2B owns the sandbox runtime and command transport.

## Limitations

* E2B is a Linux delegated-run provider for Crabbox.
* Crabbox SSH commands such as `ssh`, `vnc`, `code`, and SSH-based Actions hydration are not available with `provider: e2b`.
* `--class` and `--type` are rejected because sandbox resources come from the selected E2B template.
* `--e2b-template`, `--e2b-workdir`, `--e2b-user`, `--e2b-api-url`, and `--e2b-domain` override matching config values.

For the full Crabbox command and provider reference, see the [Crabbox repository](https://github.com/openclaw/crabbox).


# CrewAI
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/agents/crewai

Give CrewAI agents an isolated E2B sandbox for running Python code.

[CrewAI](https://www.crewai.com/) is a framework for building agents and
multi-agent workflows. Its native
[`E2BPythonTool`](https://docs.crewai.com/en/tools/ai-ml/e2bsandboxtools)
runs agent-generated Python in an isolated E2B Code Interpreter sandbox instead
of executing it on your host.

## Install the dependencies

Install CrewAI with its E2B tool dependencies:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
pip install "crewai-tools[e2b]" python-dotenv
```

Set API keys for E2B and your model provider:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
export E2B_API_KEY="e2b_..."
export OPENAI_API_KEY="..."
```

## Run a data analysis agent

Create one persistent tool instance and give it to the agent. Persistent mode
lets the Python kernel retain imports and variables if the agent needs to retry
its work.

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
import os

from crewai import Agent, Crew, Process, Task
from crewai_tools import E2BPythonTool


python_tool = E2BPythonTool(
    persistent=True,
    sandbox_timeout=600,
)

analyst = Agent(
    role="Data Analyst",
    goal="Use sandboxed Python to produce accurate, reproducible analysis",
    backstory=(
        "You verify every numerical answer by running code in an isolated "
        "E2B sandbox."
    ),
    tools=[python_tool],
    llm=os.getenv("MODEL", "openai/gpt-4.1-mini"),
    allow_delegation=False,
    max_iter=8,
    verbose=True,
)

task = Task(
    description="""
Use the E2B Sandbox Python tool to run Python code. Create `random.Random(23)`,
generate 10,000 integers with `randint(1, 1000)`, and return a JSON object with
their count, mean, population standard deviation, p95, and SHA-256 digest.
Inspect the tool result's `error` field and correct and rerun failed code.
Do not estimate the answer yourself.
""",
    expected_output="A JSON object containing the computed statistics.",
    agent=analyst,
)

crew = Crew(
    agents=[analyst],
    tasks=[task],
    process=Process.sequential,
    verbose=True,
)

try:
    result = crew.kickoff()
    print(result)
finally:
    python_tool.close()
```

The complete runnable version, including environment validation and locked
dependencies, is available in the
[E2B cookbook](https://github.com/e2b-dev/e2b-cookbook/tree/main/examples/crewai-python).

## Sandbox lifecycle

By default, an E2B CrewAI tool creates and closes a sandbox for every tool call.
Use `persistent=True` only when an agent needs state across calls. A persistent
tool creates its sandbox lazily and reuses it until it is closed.

Call `close()` in `finally` so cleanup runs after both successful and failed
crew executions. If you pass an existing `sandbox_id`, your application owns
that sandbox and the tool will not close it.

Keep `sandbox_timeout` as short as the workload allows. CrewAI applies it when
the tool creates or connects to the sandbox and does not refresh it after each
tool call. The tool's per-execution `timeout` separately controls how long an
individual code execution may run.

## Results and errors

`E2BPythonTool` returns structured data:

```json theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
{
  "text": "...",
  "stdout": [],
  "stderr": [],
  "error": null,
  "results": [],
  "execution_count": 1
}
```

Tell the agent to check `error` before accepting an answer. If code execution
fails, the agent can inspect the error, correct the code, and run it again in
the same persistent sandbox.

## Security considerations

E2B isolates agent-generated code from the machine running CrewAI. The sandbox
still processes model-generated inputs and produces untrusted output:

* do not expose API keys or other host secrets to the sandbox unless required;
* use persistent mode only when state must survive between calls;
* explicitly close sandboxes owned by the tool;
* use bounded sandbox and execution timeouts;
* validate tool output before using it in another trusted system.

Learn more about [E2B sandbox lifecycle](/sandbox).


# Cursor
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/agents/cursor

Run Cursor Self-Hosted Machines in isolated E2B sandboxes.

The public `cursor-agents` template connects
[Cursor Self-Hosted Machines](https://cursor.com/docs/cloud-agent/bring-your-own-machine)
to E2B. A dispatcher watches one Cursor
[pool](https://cursor.com/docs/cloud-agent/bring-your-own-machine/pools) and
creates a dedicated `cursor-agents-worker` sandbox for each request. Cursor
runs the agent loop in its cloud, while tool calls execute in the sandbox.

Create the dispatcher and connect to its terminal with the E2B CLI:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
e2b sbx create cursor-agents
```

When the dispatcher is ready, the terminal prints its authenticated setup UI
URL. You can also launch it from the
[E2B console](https://console.e2b.dev/terminal?template=cursor-agents), or
from TypeScript:

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
import { Sandbox } from "e2b"

const sandbox = await Sandbox.create("cursor-agents", {
  timeoutMs: 60 * 60_000,
  domain: process.env.E2B_DOMAIN,
  lifecycle: { onTimeout: "pause", autoResume: true },
})

const { stdout } = await sandbox.commands.run(
  'node /opt/cursor-agents/create-launch-url.mjs "$E2B_DOMAIN"',
  { envs: { E2B_DOMAIN: process.env.E2B_DOMAIN ?? "e2b.app" } },
)

console.log(stdout.trim())
```

## Prerequisites

* an E2B API key
* a Cursor Enterprise plan with Self-Hosted Machines enabled
* a Cursor **service-account** API key from **Settings → Service accounts**
* the assigned repository URL when using a repository-scoped service account
* optionally, a git token for private repositories

Personal, team-admin, and organization keys cannot start pool workers. See
[Cursor's Self-Hosted Machines guide](https://cursor.com/docs/cloud-agent/bring-your-own-machine)
for current key and pool requirements.

## Set up the dispatcher

<Steps>
  <Step title="Launch the template">
    Run the SDK example or open the console link above. Open the setup URL
    printed by the sandbox. It works once and expires after 10 minutes, so do
    not share it or leave it in logs.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect Cursor">
    Enter the Cursor service-account API key and choose **Verify account**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose the pool">
    Select an existing pool or enter a name to create one. For a
    repository-scoped service account, enter its exact repository URL.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure E2B workers">
    Enter the E2B API key and select its domain: `e2b.app` for US/default,
    `e2b-juliett.dev` for EU, or `e2b-tango.dev` for APAC. Keep
    `cursor-agents-worker` unless you have a custom worker template.

    Under **Advanced**, set the maximum concurrent workers and enable computer
    use if workers should control Chromium. Hibernation is enabled by default,
    so idle workers pause and resume for follow-up messages.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add git access and start">
    Add a git token for private repositories, or choose **Skip - public repo**.
    Choose **Save & start dispatcher** and wait until it is watching the pool.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Run a task

Use **Start your first session** in the dispatcher to test the configuration.
For regular work, send a task to the configured pool from Cursor, Slack,
GitHub, Linear, or the Cursor API.

1. The dispatcher claims the request and creates a `cursor-agents-worker`
   sandbox.
2. The worker clones the request's repositories under `/workspace` and
   connects to Cursor.
3. Follow the session in Cursor or use the dispatcher dashboard to view its
   sandbox and status.

Each request gets an isolated worker. When the worker becomes idle, it pauses
and resumes for a follow-up. If hibernation is disabled, the dispatcher removes
the worker instead.

The dispatcher claims requests up to **Max concurrent workers** (default 20).
Additional requests remain queued in Cursor until capacity is available.

## Private repositories

The dispatcher supplies git credentials through the E2B egress proxy instead
of writing them to the worker. Scope the token to only the repositories the
pool needs.

Use `x-access-token` as the git username for GitHub or `oauth2` for GitLab.

## Lifecycle

Keep the dispatcher running while it needs to accept tasks. Cursor queue
traffic cannot wake a paused dispatcher. The dispatcher renews its E2B timeout
while it watches the pool and reconnects to the queue after a restart or
resume.

Stop the dispatcher and let active sessions finish before changing the pool,
credentials, E2B domain, worker template, hibernation, or git settings.

# LangChain Deep Agents
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/agents/deep-agents

Use E2B sandboxes as the execution backend for LangChain Deep Agents.

[Deep Agents](https://docs.langchain.com/oss/python/deepagents/overview) is LangChain's agent harness for building LLM-powered agents, built on the [LangGraph](https://langchain-ai.github.io/langgraph/) runtime. In Deep Agents, a [sandbox backend](https://docs.langchain.com/oss/python/deepagents/sandboxes) defines the environment where the agent operates — E2B is a supported backend via the [`langchain-e2b`](https://pypi.org/project/langchain-e2b/) package.

With the E2B backend, the agent's built-in tools all execute inside an isolated sandbox instead of your machine:

* **Filesystem tools** — `ls`, `read_file`, `write_file`, `edit_file`, `glob`, and `grep` operate on the sandbox filesystem.
* **Shell tool** — `execute` runs arbitrary shell commands in the sandbox.

## Install the dependencies

Set API keys for E2B and your model provider:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
export E2B_API_KEY="e2b_***"        # get yours at https://console.e2b.dev
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-ant-***"
```

Then install the packages:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
pip install deepagents langchain-e2b e2b
```

## Basic example

Create an E2B sandbox, wrap it in the `E2BSandbox` backend, and pass it to `create_deep_agent`. You manage the sandbox lifecycle yourself — create it before the agent runs and kill it when you're done.

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
from deepagents import create_deep_agent
from e2b import Sandbox
from langchain_e2b import E2BSandbox

sandbox = Sandbox.create(timeout=600)

agent = create_deep_agent(
    model="anthropic:claude-sonnet-5",
    system_prompt="You are a coding agent working in an isolated Linux sandbox.",
    backend=E2BSandbox(sandbox=sandbox),
)

result = agent.invoke({
    "messages": [{
        "role": "user",
        "content": "Create hello.py that prints 'Hello from E2B', run it, and show the output.",
    }]
})

print(result["messages"][-1].content)
sandbox.kill()
```

The agent's file operations and shell commands all run inside the sandbox — nothing touches your machine. Because the backend wraps the native E2B SDK sandbox, you can configure everything the SDK supports: [custom templates](/template/quickstart), timeouts, [persistence](/sandbox/persistence), or reconnecting to an existing sandbox by ID.

## Deep Agents Code (dcode)

[Deep Agents Code](https://docs.langchain.com/oss/python/deepagents/sandboxes#deep-agents-code) is LangChain's terminal coding agent built on Deep Agents. `langchain-e2b` ships a sandbox provider for it, so every `dcode` session can run in an E2B sandbox:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
dcode --install langchain-e2b --package
export E2B_API_KEY="e2b_***"
dcode --sandbox e2b
```

Requires `dcode` >= 0.1.19 and `langchain-e2b` >= 0.0.4. Unlike the library path, `dcode` manages the sandbox lifecycle for you — it creates the sandbox on start and deletes it on exit. Configure it with:

* `E2B_TEMPLATE` — custom sandbox template to start from
* `E2B_SANDBOX_TIMEOUT` — sandbox timeout in seconds

## Custom templates

By default, sandboxes start from the E2B base template. To pre-install languages, frameworks, or tools your agent needs — and cut setup time per run — build a [custom template](/template/quickstart) and pass it when creating the sandbox:

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
sandbox = Sandbox.create(template="your-template-id-or-name", timeout=600)

## Deep Agents vs. Open SWE

[Open SWE](/agents/open-swe) is LangChain's coding agent framework built on top of Deep Agents — both use the same `langchain-e2b` backend under the hood, but they sit at different layers:

| | **Deep Agents** (this page) | **[LangChain Open SWE](/agents/open-swe)** |
| - | - | - |
| What it is | A Python library you embed in your own agent | A deployable internal coding agent you fork and run |
| How you use E2B | Create the sandbox yourself and pass `E2BSandbox` to `create_deep_agent` | Set `SANDBOX_TYPE="e2b"` — sandboxes are created and managed for you |
| Sandbox lifecycle | Yours to manage (`Sandbox.create()` / `sandbox.kill()`) | Per-thread persistent sandbox, reconnect by ID, auto-recreate |
| Use it when | Building any custom agent that needs isolated code execution | You want a GitHub/Slack/Linear-driven coding agent for your org |

Use this page's approach for custom agents; if you're deploying a coding agent for your team, start from [Open SWE](/agents/open-swe) instead. If you are writing the graph yourself rather than using a harness, see [LangGraph](/agents/langgraph) — it covers keeping one sandbox alive across graph steps, checkpoints and interrupts.

# Devin
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/agents/devin

Run Devin for Terminal in a secure E2B sandbox.

[Devin for Terminal](https://devin.ai/terminal) is Cognition's coding agent for working directly from a terminal. E2B provides a pre-built `devin` template with Devin already installed.

To run Devin cloud sessions in isolated E2B sandboxes, see [Devin Outposts](/agents/devin-outposts).

## CLI

Create a sandbox with the [E2B CLI](/cli).

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
e2b sbx create devin
```

Once inside the sandbox, start Devin and follow the interactive login flow. You can create a Devin account during sign up if you don't have one.

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
devin
```

## Usage

After signing in, use `devin -p` for non-interactive mode and `--permission-mode dangerous` to auto-approve tool calls.

<Note>
  Auto-approving tool calls is contained by the sandbox: the agent cannot touch your host machine, local files, or credentials. It can still make outbound network requests — internet access is enabled by default. To limit where an auto-approved agent can connect, configure [outbound network rules](/network/internet-access) (`allowInternetAccess`, plus allow/deny lists by CIDR or hostname). Hostname rules apply to HTTP(S) traffic only; use CIDR rules for other protocols.
</Note>

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
mkdir -p /home/user/project
cd /home/user/project

devin --permission-mode dangerous -p "Create a hello world HTTP server in Go"
```

## Example: work on a cloned repository

After signing in, clone a repository and run Devin from the project directory.

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
git clone https://github.com/your-org/your-repo.git /home/user/repo
cd /home/user/repo

devin --permission-mode dangerous -p "Add error handling to all API endpoints"
```

Devin can edit files, run commands, and work on code inside the sandbox without accessing your local machine.


# Devin Outposts
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/agents/devin-outposts

Run Devin sessions in isolated E2B sandboxes.

The public `devin-outposts` template runs a dispatcher in E2B. The dispatcher
watches one Devin outpost and creates a dedicated `devin-outposts-worker`
sandbox for each session.

Create the dispatcher and connect to its terminal with the E2B CLI:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
e2b sbx create devin-outposts
```

When the dispatcher is ready, the terminal prints its authenticated Outposts UI
URL. You can also launch it directly from the
[E2B console](https://console.e2b.dev/terminal?template=devin-outposts), or
from TypeScript:

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
import { Sandbox } from "e2b"

const sandbox = await Sandbox.create("devin-outposts", {
  timeoutMs: 60 * 60_000,
  lifecycle: { onTimeout: "pause", autoResume: true },
})

const { stdout } = await sandbox.commands.run(
  'node /opt/devin-outposts/create-launch-url.mjs "$E2B_DOMAIN"',
  { envs: { E2B_DOMAIN: process.env.E2B_DOMAIN ?? "e2b.app" } },
)

console.log(stdout.trim())
```

## Prerequisites

* an E2B API key
* a Devin Enterprise organization
* a Devin v3 service-user token beginning with `cog_`

Give the primary service user both **Use outpost machine** and **Manage
outposts**. Create it under **Settings → Devin API → Service users**, then copy
the token when Devin displays it. If you configure a separate worker token, it
only needs **Use outpost machine**.

See [Cognition's Outposts guide](https://docs.devin.ai/cloud/outposts/overview)
for the current permission and token flow.

## Set up the dispatcher

<Steps>
  <Step title="Launch the template">
    Run the SDK example or open the dashboard link above. Open the exact
    setup URL printed by the sandbox. Its token works once and expires after 10
    minutes. Treat the URL as a credential until it has been used: do not share
    it or leave it in shared logs.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect Devin">
    Enter the primary service-user token and choose **Check Devin account**.
    Select the organization and enter its full browser URL, including
    `/org/<organization-slug>`, if it was not detected.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose the outpost">
    Select an existing outpost or create one. Keep `devin-outposts-worker` as
    the worker template unless you have prepared a custom template or snapshot.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect E2B">
    Enter the E2B API key that should create the worker sandboxes.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start the dispatcher">
    Choose **Save and start dispatcher**. Wait until its status shows that it is
    listening before sending a task.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Run a session

1. Under **Tasks**, enter the task and choose **Review task in Devin**.
2. In Devin, open **Configuration → Virtual environment** and select the
   configured outpost.
3. Send the task.
4. Return to **Tasks** in the dispatcher to follow the session. Use **View in
   Devin** to open the original conversation.

The virtual environment must be selected before sending. A session sent to the
wrong environment cannot be moved; start a new session with the correct
outpost.

Each Devin session gets its own E2B worker sandbox and writable `/mnt/repos`
workspace. The dispatcher removes the worker after the session finishes.

## Lifecycle

Do not pause the dispatcher while it needs to accept sessions. Devin queue
traffic cannot wake it. With `lifecycle.autoResume` (JavaScript) /
`lifecycle.auto_resume` (Python) enabled, opening its E2B URL resumes it manually.

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="The outpost is missing in Devin">
    Confirm that Devin is using the organization selected during setup and that
    the primary service user has both required permissions.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="The session is waiting for a machine">
    Confirm that the dispatcher is listening and that the task was sent to the
    same outpost.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="The worker template is unavailable">
    Confirm that the E2B API key can create the public
    `devin-outposts-worker` template. A custom template must be visible to the
    same E2B project as the key.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Inspect the dispatcher">
    Open its terminal and run:

# Droid
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/agents/droid

Run Factory's Droid in a secure E2B sandbox with full filesystem, terminal, and git access.

[Droid](https://factory.ai/product/cli) is Factory's coding agent and CLI. E2B provides a pre-built `droid` template with Droid already installed.

## CLI

Create a sandbox with the [E2B CLI](/cli).

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
e2b sbx create droid
```

Once inside the sandbox, start Droid.

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
droid
```

## Run headless

Use `droid exec` for non-interactive mode and `--auto low` to let Droid make safe file edits and run non-destructive commands inside the isolated sandbox. Droid authenticates with an API key from [Factory settings](https://app.factory.ai/settings/api-keys) via the `FACTORY_API_KEY` environment variable.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create('droid', {
    envs: { FACTORY_API_KEY: process.env.FACTORY_API_KEY },
  })

  const result = await sandbox.commands.run(
    `droid exec --auto low "Create a hello world HTTP server in Go"`
  )

  console.log(result.stdout)
  await sandbox.kill()
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import os
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create("droid", envs={
      "FACTORY_API_KEY": os.environ["FACTORY_API_KEY"],
  })

  result = sandbox.commands.run(
      'droid exec --auto low "Create a hello world HTTP server in Go"',
  )

  print(result.stdout)
  sandbox.kill()
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Example: work on a cloned repository

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create('droid', {
    envs: { FACTORY_API_KEY: process.env.FACTORY_API_KEY },
    timeoutMs: 600_000,
  })

  await sandbox.commands.run(
    'git clone --depth 1 https://x-access-token:$GITHUB_TOKEN@github.com/your-org/your-repo.git /home/user/repo',
    { envs: { GITHUB_TOKEN: process.env.GITHUB_TOKEN } }
  )

  const result = await sandbox.commands.run(
    `cd /home/user/repo && droid exec --auto low "Add error handling to all API endpoints"`,
    { onStdout: (data) => process.stdout.write(data) }
  )

  const diff = await sandbox.commands.run('cd /home/user/repo && git diff')
  console.log(diff.stdout)

  await sandbox.kill()
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import os
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create("droid", envs={
      "FACTORY_API_KEY": os.environ["FACTORY_API_KEY"],
  }, timeout=600)

  sandbox.commands.run(
      "git clone --depth 1 https://x-access-token:$GITHUB_TOKEN@github.com/your-org/your-repo.git /home/user/repo",
      envs={"GITHUB_TOKEN": os.environ["GITHUB_TOKEN"]},
  )

  result = sandbox.commands.run(
      'cd /home/user/repo && droid exec --auto low "Add error handling to all API endpoints"',
      on_stdout=lambda data: print(data, end=""),
  )

  diff = sandbox.commands.run("cd /home/user/repo && git diff")
  print(diff.stdout)

  sandbox.kill()
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Build a custom template

If you need to customize the environment (e.g. pre-install dependencies, add config files), build your own template on top of the pre-built `droid` template.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  // template.ts
  import { Template } from 'e2b'

  export const template = Template()
    .fromTemplate('droid')
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  # template.py
  from e2b import Template

  template = (
      Template()
      .from_template("droid")
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  // build.ts
  import { Template, defaultBuildLogger } from 'e2b'
  import { template as droidTemplate } from './template'

  await Template.build(droidTemplate, 'my-droid', {
    cpuCount: 2,
    memoryMB: 2048,
    onBuildLogs: defaultBuildLogger(),
  })
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  # build.py
  from e2b import Template, default_build_logger
  from template import template as droid_template

  Template.build(droid_template, "my-droid",
      cpu_count=2,
      memory_mb=2048,
      on_build_logs=default_build_logger(),
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

Run the build script to create the template.

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  npx tsx build.ts
  ```

  ```bash Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}

# DSPy RLMs
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/agents/dspy

Run DSPy RLM-generated Python in E2B with persistent CPython, SQLite, and host-side model tools.

[DSPy RLM](https://dspy.ai/api/modules/RLM/) lets a model explore inputs with Python, call sub-models on selected passages, and submit a typed answer. The [E2B cookbook example](https://github.com/e2b-dev/e2b-cookbook/tree/main/examples/dspy-rlms-python) provides an `E2BInterpreter` for DSPy 3.4.0's native `interpreter_factory` interface.

## Why use E2B for DSPy RLMs

DSPy's default Python interpreter already isolates code in local Deno/Pyodide WASM and lets the model inspect inputs without putting them in the prompt. E2B supplies remote Linux with full CPython, including `sqlite3` and `subprocess`, plus an enforced execution deadline: if generated code loops forever, the adapter kills its sandbox. DSPy 3.4.0's default Python interpreter has no code-execution timeout. This example uses the network-off E2B base environment, without pandas/numpy or a custom template.

## Install the example

Use Python 3.10–3.14 and [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/):

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
git clone https://github.com/e2b-dev/e2b-cookbook.git
cd e2b-cookbook/examples/dspy-rlms-python
uv sync --frozen
cp .env.example .env
```

Set these values in the ignored `.env`:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
E2B_API_KEY=e2b_...
OPENAI_API_KEY=...
MODEL=openai/gpt-5.6-luna
```

The default model is [GPT-5.6 Luna](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/models/gpt-5.6-luna). The LM settings are chosen for OpenAI reasoning models: `temperature=None` and `max_tokens=16000`. `MODEL` changes only the identifier; other models may need different LM parameters in `main.py`. Compatibility with other models is not established.

`E2BInterpreter` comes from this locally installed project, with DSPy pinned to 3.4.0 and core E2B 2.53.1 in its lockfile. It is not a native DSPy import or a separately published PyPI package. To use it elsewhere, install the local project with `pip install /path/to/e2b-cookbook/examples/dspy-rlms-python`.

Keys remain on your host. E2B receives generated code and selected inputs; the model provider receives prompts and passages sent to sub-queries. Pass only data those services may process. The sandbox itself has no outbound network access.

## Check persistent SQLite without a model

Save the following as `check_sqlite.py` in the example directory and run `uv run check_sqlite.py`. This calls E2B and needs only `E2B_API_KEY`, with no model request:

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
from dotenv import load_dotenv
from dspy_e2b import E2BInterpreter

load_dotenv()
interpreter = E2BInterpreter()
try:
    interpreter.execute("import sqlite3; db = sqlite3.connect(':memory:')")
    interpreter.execute("db.execute('CREATE TABLE incidents(region TEXT)')")
    interpreter.execute("db.executemany('INSERT INTO incidents VALUES (?)', [('eu',), ('eu',), ('us',)])")
    counts = interpreter.execute("dict(db.execute('SELECT region, count(*) FROM incidents GROUP BY region'))")
    assert counts == {"eu": 2, "us": 1}
    print(counts)
finally:
    interpreter.shutdown()
```

The connection survives across execution steps. `shutdown()` deletes the owned sandbox, including its processes and files.

## Run the incident-analysis RLM

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
uv run main.py
```

This uses E2B and your model provider. `main.py` configures `dspy.LM`, loads the incident records, and uses this typed signature and interpreter factory:

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
import dspy
from dspy_e2b import E2BInterpreter


class IncidentAnalysis(dspy.Signature):
    records: list[dict] = dspy.InputField()
    query: str = dspy.InputField()
    candidate_ids: list[str] = dspy.OutputField(desc="Exact SQL-filtered IDs, sorted")
    queue_incident_ids: list[str] = dspy.OutputField(desc="IDs classified as queue buildup, sorted")
    counts_by_region: dict[str, int] = dspy.OutputField(desc="SQL counts for queue_incident_ids")
    summary: str = dspy.OutputField(desc="Short explanation grounded in the selected records")


def interpreter_factory():
    return E2BInterpreter(execution_timeout=120, sandbox_timeout=600)


interpreter_factory.execution_instructions = E2BInterpreter.execution_instructions

rlm = dspy.RLM(
    IncidentAnalysis,
    interpreter_factory=interpreter_factory,
    max_iters=6,
    max_llm_calls=4,
    max_output_chars=4000,
)
```

`main.py` then calls the RLM with the records and query. Each factory call returns a fresh interpreter; DSPy supplies its tools and output-field metadata and calls `shutdown()` in `finally` when the invocation ends.

## How the RLM loop works

The action model writes Python to select resolved, high-severity inference incidents in SQLite, classify candidate passages with sub-queries, and compute region counts. Execution output returns to DSPy's trajectory and informs the next action. Imports, generated variables and the SQLite connection survive between steps; the supplied input variables are freshly assigned each step.

Inside the sandbox, `llm_query` and `llm_query_batched` are Python wrappers for registered host callables. A wrapper sends a JSON tool request with an ID through the worker's stdout and waits for a matching reply. The host interpreter validates the request and runs the callable; for built-in model tools, DSPy sends the provider requests from the host. The reply returns through worker stdin, and generated Python continues with the returned value.

The successful tool-call and submission path is:

```mermaid theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
sequenceDiagram
    participant H as Host: DSPy and interpreter
    participant S as E2B: worker and Python state
    participant P as Model provider
    H->>S: Execute Python (stdin)
    S->>H: Tool request + ID (stdout)
    H->>H: Validate and call host tool
    H->>P: Model prompts
    P-->>H: Model responses
    H->>S: Tool result + ID (stdin)
    S->>S: Continue Python, then SUBMIT
    S-->>H: Final output fields
    H->>H: Validate fields and shut down
```

The generated code eventually calls `SUBMIT` with computed fields. The worker ends that code block and returns a final-output message; DSPy parses and validates the fields against `IncidentAnalysis` before returning a prediction. A validation error can become feedback for another step. The interpreter protocol carries both execution and tool messages, so guest networking and provider credentials are unnecessary. Host tools are still capabilities: each callable must validate its arguments, restrict host operations and use its own deadlines.

## Explore a larger input

The eight-record seed is a small first-run check. To explore a larger input, generate 50,000 low-severity background records locally from that seed:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
uv run main.py --background-records 50000
```

No downloads are needed. The four high-severity candidates stay the same, so the sub-query budget stays at four. RLM inspects the data through generated code instead of putting the entire dataset in its action prompt. This mode still calls E2B and your model provider. It exercises exploration of a larger input with the same four candidates; it does not establish arbitrary long-context quality or provider superiority.

## Inspect the trajectory and observed results

`result.json` contains `answer`, `fixture_assessment` and the native trajectory. Inspect the generated code, reasoning and execution output to see whether the model used SQLite and sub-queries.

The seed has four SQL candidates and three labelled queue incidents (`INC-001`, `INC-004`, `INC-006`), with counts `{"eu": 2, "us": 1}`. `exact_ids_and_counts` checks the candidate filter, submitted-ID structure and counts for those submitted IDs. `fixture_semantic_labels_match` separately reports agreement with the fixture's queue labels. A structural check can pass even when semantic labels differ; neither check establishes model reliability. If a deterministic check fails, the run raises an error but still saves and prints the answer, trajectory and assessment error.

With `openai/gpt-5.6-luna`, one run of each configuration produced matching candidate IDs, region counts and fixture semantic labels:

| Input | Elapsed time | RLM steps | Observed behavior |
| - | - | - | - |
| Eight-record seed | 19 s | 3 | Inspect records; filter in SQLite and call `llm_query_batched` once; aggregate in SQL and SUBMIT from variables. |
| Seed plus 50,000 background records | 30 s | 5 | Inspect type/count/first/last record; filter four candidates in SQLite; call `llm_query_batched` once; aggregate in SQL; SUBMIT from variables. |

Both runs used Python 3.14, DSPy 3.4.0, E2B 2.53.1, `temperature=None`, `max_tokens=16000`, and a 20-second per-request timeout. Each configuration was run once; these results do not estimate reliability or guarantee timings.

Excerpt from the larger-input trajectory, with the SQLite connection and per-candidate prompts prepared in earlier code:

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
selected = conn.execute("""
    SELECT id, region, summary
    FROM incidents
    WHERE service = 'inference'
      AND status = 'resolved'
      AND severity = 'high'
    ORDER BY rowid
""").fetchall()

print("selected count:", len(selected))
print("selected IDs:", [x[0] for x in selected])

# After building one prompt per selected record:
judgments = llm_query_batched(prompts)
```

The filter printed:

```text theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
selected count: 4
selected IDs: ['INC-001', 'INC-002', 'INC-004', 'INC-006']
```

The batched answers classified `INC-002` as NO because model loading failed before requests could enter the scheduler. The final answer from that run was:

```json theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
{
  "candidate_ids": [
    "INC-001",
    "INC-002",
    "INC-004",
    "INC-006"
  ],
  "queue_incident_ids": [
    "INC-001",
    "INC-004",
    "INC-006"
  ],
  "counts_by_region": {
    "eu": 2,
    "us": 1
  },
  "summary": "Four resolved high-severity inference incidents were candidates. Three involved actual request queue buildup (INC-001, INC-004, INC-006); INC-002 did not because requests could not enter the scheduler. Queue incidents by region: eu=2, us=1."
}
```

### Request and execution budgets

The example caps action iterations at six and sub-queries at four. DSPy may make one additional extraction request if the model does not submit. Provider calls have a 20-second timeout, no SDK retries or adapter fallback retries and a 16,000 completion-token budget, including reasoning tokens. The example factory gives each code execution a 120-second deadline, including host-tool waiting; the adapter default remains 60 seconds. Prefer `llm_query_batched` for independent prompts, and use computed variables in `SUBMIT`. These instructions do not guarantee model compliance.

## Lifecycle and limits

### State and invocation isolation

DSPy uses one owned sandbox per invocation and calls `shutdown()` in `finally`. Every factory call must return a new interpreter. Imports, generated variables and files persist within that invocation; inputs are freshly assigned each step. Concurrent invocations use separate sandboxes. Manual callers use `try/finally` as in the SQLite check.

### Deadlines and execution failures

The execution deadline includes host-tool waiting. The default 600-second sandbox TTL is refreshed at each execution boundary, and model thinking time between executions counts toward it. Expiry fails explicitly, without recreation or replay. Syntax and generated-code errors are recoverable so RLM can try another step; setup, transport, worker death and deadline errors are terminal and trigger sandbox deletion. Oversized printed output is truncated. An oversized ordinary expression result is recoverable, so Python state remains available to inspect a smaller value. Oversized tool arguments are rejected before invoking the host callable and produce recoverable code feedback. Oversized structured `SUBMIT` output is terminal and ends the session; final fields are never truncated. Protocol and input limits remain enforced.

### Host tools and credentials

Tools and provider keys remain on the host. Killing the sandbox cannot stop an already running host callable or provider request; set their deadlines independently. Generated code and children receive EOF on standard input; worker protocol input uses a separate descriptor. This example exposes no guest network or package installation, and uses no pandas/numpy or custom template.

### Cleanup and diagnostics

The `dspy_e2b` INFO logger records `sandbox_id` and `dspy_session`. Cleanup errors carry those IDs plus original-failure/submission diagnostics. After a host crash, use the exact session tag to reconcile resources. A TTL is a backstop, not confirmation of deletion.

See the [cookbook README](https://github.com/e2b-dev/e2b-cookbook/blob/main/examples/dspy-rlms-python/README.md) for input/frame limits, host-tool concurrency, async behavior, cleanup commands and troubleshooting.


# Vercel Eve
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/agents/eve

Run Vercel Eve agent sandboxes on E2B with the @e2b/eve-sandbox backend.

[Vercel Eve](https://vercel.com/docs/eve) is a filesystem-first framework for durable backend AI agents: you author an agent as files under `agent/`, and Eve compiles them into an app that runs on Vercel Functions. Every Eve agent has exactly one [sandbox](https://eve.dev/docs/sandbox) — the isolated bash environment rooted at `/workspace` that backs the built-in `bash`, `read_file`, `write_file`, `glob`, and `grep` tools.

The [`@e2b/eve-sandbox`](https://github.com/e2b-dev/eve-sandbox) package is an E2B backend for that sandbox — the E2B counterpart to Eve's built-in `vercel()`, `docker()`, `microsandbox()`, and `justbash()` backends. It implements the public `SandboxBackend` interface from `eve/sandbox`, so Eve itself needs no changes and no fork.

<Note>
  `@e2b/eve-sandbox` is experimental, and Eve is in beta. Both APIs may change.
</Note>

## Why E2B as the backend

| | E2B backend | Eve's local backends |
| - | - | - |
| Where it runs | E2B cloud microVMs, from local dev and production alike | Docker daemon, local VM, or a simulated shell on the host |
| Startup | \~150 ms from a snapshot or [custom template](/template/quickstart) | Image pull / VM boot on the developer machine |
| Environment | Any [E2B template](/template/quickstart) you build | Eve's `ghcr.io/vercel/eve` image, or a Docker image you supply |
| Persistence | [Auto-pause and resume](/sandbox/persistence) — filesystem survives days of idle | Container/VM tied to the machine that started it |
| Egress control | E2B firewall: domain allow-lists and header injection | Domain policies on `vercel()`/`microsandbox()`; `docker()` is all-or-nothing |

Use it when you want the same sandbox behavior in local dev, CI, and production, on infrastructure you control the image for.

## Prerequisites

* Node.js 22 or later
* An Eve project (`npx eve@latest init my-agent`)
* An <a href="https://console.e2b.dev/?tab=keys">E2B API key</a>

## Install

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
npm i @e2b/eve-sandbox e2b
```

`eve` (>= 0.27) and `ai` (>= 7) are peer dependencies already present in an Eve project.

Set your key — the backend reads `E2B_API_KEY` unless you pass `apiKey`:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
export E2B_API_KEY="e2b_***"
```

## Configure the backend

Author `defineSandbox` and pass `e2b()` as the backend:

```typescript title="agent/sandbox.ts" theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
import { defineSandbox } from 'eve/sandbox'
import { e2b } from '@e2b/eve-sandbox'

export default defineSandbox({
  backend: () => e2b({ template: 'base' }),
})
```

That is the whole integration. The agent's `bash` tool now runs commands in an E2B sandbox, its file tools read and write the sandbox filesystem, and nothing executes on your app runtime.

Prefer the **factory form** (`backend: () => e2b({...})`) over `backend: e2b({...})`: it defers reading environment variables until first use and memoizes the backend, so its prewarmed-snapshot cache survives across calls.

Use the folder layout (`agent/sandbox/sandbox.ts`) instead if you also seed files from `agent/sandbox/workspace/**`.

## Run the agent

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
pnpm dev        # or: npx eve dev
```

Ask the agent to run a command and it executes in a real E2B sandbox. Sandboxes created this way appear in your <a href="https://console.e2b.dev/sign-in?signup_source=docs_agents_eve">E2B console</a>.

## Bootstrap and per-session setup

Eve has two lifecycle hooks, and the E2B backend maps each onto a different E2B primitive:

```typescript title="agent/sandbox/sandbox.ts" theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
import { defineSandbox } from 'eve/sandbox'
import { e2b } from '@e2b/eve-sandbox'

export default defineSandbox({
  backend: () =>
    e2b({
      template: 'base',
      timeoutMs: 30 * 60 * 1000,
      envs: { NODE_ENV: 'production' },
    }),

  // Build time, once per template — baked into a reusable E2B snapshot.
  async bootstrap({ use }) {
    const sandbox = await use()
    await sandbox.run({ command: 'sudo apt-get install -y jq' })
  },

  // Once per durable session — tighten egress for the turn.
  async onSession({ use }) {
    await use({ networkPolicy: { allow: ['*.npmjs.org', 'github.com'] } })
  },
})
```

* **`bootstrap`** runs during Eve's build-time `prewarm()`. The backend creates a sandbox, runs your bootstrap, writes your `workspace/` seed files, then captures an **E2B snapshot**. Later sessions fork that snapshot, so installs are paid once, not per session.
* **`onSession`** runs once per durable session against a live sandbox, and is the right place for network policy, per-user credentials, and one-time markers.

Snapshots are named from Eve's `templateKey` (which tracks your authored sandbox source, seed contents, and `revalidationKey`) plus a hash of the snapshot-affecting backend options — base template, baked `envs`, and network policy. Change any of those and the next build captures a fresh snapshot instead of reusing a stale one.

## Session persistence

E2B sandboxes are created with `lifecycle: { onTimeout: 'pause', autoResume: true }`, and the default timeout is **30 minutes** (E2B's own 5-minute default would expire mid-turn). On timeout the sandbox [pauses rather than dies](/sandbox/persistence): the filesystem is preserved and the next message resumes it.

On the next turn the backend reattaches in this order:

1. The `sandboxId` persisted by Eve for that session.
2. A still-running or paused sandbox whose E2B metadata matches `eveBackend: "e2b"` and the session's `eveSessionKey`.
3. Otherwise a fresh sandbox, forked from the prewarmed snapshot.

Two consequences worth knowing:

* **The backend's `shutdown()` is intentionally a no-op.** Killing the sandbox on server shutdown would drop background work and force Eve to recreate it without rerunning `onSession`. Sandboxes are left paused and expire on their own — kill them from the <a href="https://console.e2b.dev/sign-in?signup_source=docs_agents_eve">console</a> or the [SDK](/sandbox) if you want them gone sooner. Opt out with `autoPause: false` to kill on timeout instead.
* **Reconnects do not re-apply the configured `networkPolicy`.** A resumed sandbox keeps its live policy, including any tightening `onSession` applied. Re-stamping the create-time default could silently loosen a locked-down session.

## Network policy

Egress rules go on the factory (applied to each fresh session, before authored `bootstrap` runs) or in `onSession`'s `use()`. The backend translates Eve's `SandboxNetworkPolicy` into an [E2B firewall](/network/internet-access) update:

| Eve policy | E2B update |
| - | - |
| `"allow-all"` (default) | `allowInternetAccess: true` |
| `"deny-all"` | `allowInternetAccess: false` |
| `{ allow: ['github.com', '*.npmjs.org'] }` | `allowOut: [...]` + `denyOut: ['0.0.0.0/0']` |
| `{ allow: ['*'], subnets: { deny: ['10.0.0.0/8'] } }` | `denyOut: ['10.0.0.0/8']` |
| `{ allow: [] }` | `allowInternetAccess: false` |

Restricting egress to an allow-list requires the catch-all in `denyOut` — E2B gives allow rules absolute precedence over deny rules, so the listed hosts pass and everything else is blocked. The backend adds that for you.

<Warning>
  Because allow beats deny in E2B, some Eve policies cannot be expressed faithfully. The backend **throws instead of silently weakening them**:

  * `subnets.deny` combined with an allow-list — the "denied" hosts would stay reachable. Use `{ allow: ['*'], subnets: { deny: [...] } }` for deny-lists, or drop `subnets.deny` (anything outside an allow-list is already blocked).
  * A per-rule `match` condition — E2B applies header transforms to every request to a host.
  * `forwardURL` request proxying — no E2B equivalent.
  * A header `transform` alongside a catch-all `"*"` allow — a transform host must be allow-listed, which an allow-all cannot also be.
</Warning>

### Credential brokering

E2B can inject a header at the firewall so a secret authenticates egress without ever entering the sandbox. Eve expresses this as a per-domain `transform`:

```typescript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
async onSession({ use }) {
  await use({
    networkPolicy: {
      allow: {
        'github.com': [{ transform: [{ headers: { authorization: 'Basic your_base64_credentials_here' } }] }],
        'api.example.com': [],
      },
    },
  })
}
```

List every host explicitly. Eve's documented `"*": []` catch-all pattern is rejected by this backend for the reason above — pair transforms with an explicit allow-list instead.

To change policy mid-turn, call `sandbox.setNetworkPolicy(...)` on the live handle from any authored tool.

## Custom templates

`template` accepts any E2B template ID or alias. Build a [custom template](/template/quickstart) with your runtimes, system packages, and toolchain pre-installed, and every session starts from it:

```typescript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
export default defineSandbox({
  backend: () => e2b({ template: 'your-template-id-or-name' }),
})
```

Templates and snapshots compose: the template is the base image, and Eve's `bootstrap` layers your agent-specific setup into a snapshot on top of it. Put slow, stable work (compilers, system packages) in the template; put agent-specific work (cloning a baseline repo, installing project dependencies) in `bootstrap`.

## Backend options

```typescript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
e2b({
  template: 'base',                  // E2B template ID or alias
  timeoutMs: 30 * 60 * 1000,         // auto-pause timeout; default 30 minutes
  envs: { NODE_ENV: 'production' },  // env vars baked into every sandbox
  metadata: { team: 'growth' },      // E2B metadata, create-time only
  tags: { tier: 'beta' },            // diagnostic tags, merged into metadata
  apiKey: process.env.E2B_API_KEY,   // defaults to E2B_API_KEY
  domain: 'e2b.dev',                 // self-hosted or region endpoint
  networkPolicy: 'allow-all',        // initial policy for each fresh session
  autoPause: true,                   // false → kill on timeout instead of pause
  createOptions: {},                 // raw E2B SandboxOpts escape hatch
})
```

`createOptions` is merged into every `Sandbox.create()` call, so anything the [E2B JavaScript SDK](/sdk-reference/js-sdk) supports is reachable even when this backend has no dedicated option for it. Explicit options win over `createOptions`.

## How the integration works

| Component | Responsibility |
| - | - |
| Eve runtime | Runs turns, owns durable session state, calls the backend's `prewarm` and `create` |
| `defineSandbox` | Declares the backend plus the `bootstrap` and `onSession` hooks |
| `e2b()` backend | Creates, reconnects, and configures E2B sandboxes; maps network policy |
| E2B snapshot | Captures bootstrap + seed files once, forked per session |
| E2B template | Base OS, runtimes, and pre-installed dependencies |

Paths line up because the backend anchors relative paths to `/workspace`, Eve's cross-backend namespace — E2B's own default working directory is `/home/user`, and the backend creates `/workspace` during base setup. Every E2B API call this backend makes is tagged with an `eve-sandbox/<version>` integration identifier.

# Flue
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/agents/flue

Give a Flue agent an E2B sandbox with the flue add sandbox e2b blueprint adapter.

[Flue](https://flueframework.com) is a TypeScript agent framework from the Astro team. An agent is a function marked with `'use agent'` and configured with React-like hooks: `useModel()` picks the LLM, `useSandbox()` attaches a workspace. That second hook is what gives the agent its `read`, `write`, `edit`, `bash`, `grep`, and `glob` tools — without it the agent has no filesystem and no shell at all.

Flue's [E2B adapter](https://flueframework.com/docs/ecosystem/sandboxes/e2b/) points those tools at an E2B sandbox. It ships as a **blueprint**: `flue add sandbox e2b` prints a Markdown implementation guide that your coding agent applies, leaving the adapter in your repo as `src/sandboxes/e2b.ts`. There is no `@e2b/flue` package — the only E2B dependency is the [`e2b`](/sdk-reference/js-sdk) SDK.

<Note>
  Flue adapters are deliberately thin. Your application creates the E2B sandbox and decides when it dies; Flue wraps the handle you hand it and never destroys provider infrastructure.
</Note>

## Why E2B as the sandbox

Flue ships two built-in environments — an in-memory [just-bash](https://github.com/vercel-labs/just-bash) sandbox and `local()`, which binds the agent to your host.

| | E2B | `bash()` virtual sandbox | `local()` |
| - | - | - | - |
| Where commands run | Firecracker microVM in E2B's cloud | Emulated in your Node.js process | Your host, as real processes |
| Isolation | Full VM boundary | No host access, but no real processes either | None, by design |
| Toolchain | Debian 12, `apt`, any runtime you install or bake into a [template](/template/quickstart) | The unix subset just-bash implements | Whatever the host already has |
| Filesystem lifetime | Lives with the sandbox: up to 24 hours running (1 hour on the Base tier), indefinitely once [paused](/sandbox/persistence) | Rebuilt empty every time the agent initializes | The host disk |
| Per-conversation workspaces | One sandbox keyed on the agent instance id | Ephemeral | Every conversation shares one host |

Use E2B when agent-written code must not touch your host, when the work needs a real Linux toolchain, or when each conversation needs a workspace that outlives the process that started it.

## Prerequisites

* Node.js 22.19 or later
* An <a href="https://console.e2b.dev/?tab=keys">E2B API key</a>
* A model provider key — this guide uses Anthropic

## Create a project

Skip to the next section if you already have a Flue project.

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
mkdir flue-e2b-agent && cd flue-e2b-agent
npx @flue/cli@latest init . --target node
npm install
npm install e2b
```

`flue init` writes `flue.config.ts`, `package.json`, `tsconfig.json`, `.env`, `src/agents/hello.ts`, `src/db.ts`, `AGENTS.md`, and `README.md`. It does not install anything, hence the separate `npm install`.

Put both keys in `.env` — `flue run` loads it automatically, and the E2B SDK reads `E2B_API_KEY` from the environment:

```bash title=".env" theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
E2B_API_KEY="e2b_***"
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-ant-***"
```

## Add the adapter

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
npx flue add sandbox e2b --print | claude
```

`flue add` is not a package installer. It fetches the blueprint from Flue's registry and prints it; the coding agent you pipe it into writes the file. Swap `claude` for `codex`, `opencode`, or whatever you use — or read the guide yourself with `npx flue add sandbox e2b --print | less`. Inside a coding agent session the CLI detects that and writes to stdout without `--print`.

The result is `src/sandboxes/e2b.ts`, tagged `// flue-blueprint: sandbox/e2b@1`, exporting `e2b(sandbox)` — a `SandboxFactory` rooted at `/home/user`. It implements Flue's `SandboxDriver` directly against the E2B SDK rather than shelling out:

| Flue driver operation | E2B call |
| - | - |
| `readFile`, `writeFile` | `sandbox.files.read`, `sandbox.files.write` |
| `readdir`, `exists`, `stat` | `sandbox.files.list`, `.exists`, `.getInfo` |
| `mkdir` | `sandbox.files.makeDir` (always recursive on E2B) |
| `rm` | `sandbox.files.remove` — throws on `recursive` or `force`, which E2B's direct remove API has no equivalent for |
| `exec` | `sandbox.commands.run`, with `timeoutMs` forwarded unchanged |

To pull in a later revision of the adapter, pipe `npx flue update sandbox e2b --print` into your coding agent the same way; the marker comment is how the guide recognizes an existing install.

## Write the agent

The factory is where you own the sandbox: create it with the E2B SDK, then hand it to `e2b()`.

```typescript title="src/agents/analyst.ts" theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
'use agent';
import { useModel, useSandbox } from '@flue/runtime';
import { Sandbox } from 'e2b';
import { e2b } from '../sandboxes/e2b.ts';

export function Analyst() {
	useModel('anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6');

	useSandbox({
		// Lazy: createSandbox() runs once, when the runtime initializes the
		// agent — not on every render.
		async createSandbox(options) {
			const sandbox = await Sandbox.create({
				timeoutMs: 10 * 60_000,
				metadata: { framework: 'flue', agent: 'analyst' },
			});
			console.error(`[e2b] sandbox ${sandbox.sandboxId}`);
			return e2b(sandbox).createSandbox(options);
		},
	});

	return 'You work in a Linux sandbox. Use bash for anything about the machine or its files, and quote the exact command output in your answer.';
}
```

Two details that matter:

* **`createSandbox` is called once per agent initialization**, never on a re-render. Creating the sandbox inside it — not in the module body — is what keeps one sandbox per conversation instead of one per render.
* **`timeoutMs` is E2B's, not Flue's.** The default sandbox timeout is 5 minutes; a conversational agent usually wants more. Nothing in Flue extends it for you.

## Run it

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
npx flue run src/agents/analyst.ts --message "Which Linux kernel is this box running, and how much free disk does /home/user have? Run the commands."
```

Flue streams tool activity to stderr and the final reply to stdout:

```
[e2b] sandbox ic1av8osjd5gtxrsegyfz
tool bash
tool done bash
  1. Linux Kernel: 6.1.158+
  2. Free Disk Space for /home/user: 22 GB total, 1.3 GB used, 20 GB available
```

The sandbox is now in your <a href="https://console.e2b.dev/sign-in?signup_source=docs_agents_flue">E2B console</a>. The metadata you set at creation is how you find it again from the SDK:

```typescript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

const [sandbox] = await Sandbox.list({
  query: { metadata: { framework: 'flue' }, state: ['running', 'paused'] },
}).nextItems()

console.log(sandbox.sandboxId, sandbox.state) // ic1av8osjd5gtxrsegyfz running
```

## Keep the same sandbox across turns

Flue conversations persist across `flue run` invocations. Sandboxes do not, unless you make them: the default factory above creates a fresh one every time the agent initializes. `createSandbox(options)` receives `options.id` — the agent instance id — so store it in metadata and look it up first.

```typescript title="src/agents/durable.ts" theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
'use agent';
import { useModel, useSandbox } from '@flue/runtime';
import { Sandbox } from 'e2b';
import { e2b } from '../sandboxes/e2b.ts';

export function Durable() {
	useModel('anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6');

	useSandbox({
		async createSandbox(options) {
			// `options.id` is the agent instance id — key the sandbox on it so
			// the next message in this conversation gets the same workspace.
			const [existing] = await Sandbox.list({
				query: { metadata: { flueInstance: options.id }, state: ['running', 'paused'] },
			}).nextItems();

			// connect() never shortens the window; passing timeoutMs extends it
			// back to a full 10 minutes for this turn.
			const sandbox = existing
				? await Sandbox.connect(existing.sandboxId, { timeoutMs: 10 * 60_000 })
				: await Sandbox.create({
						timeoutMs: 10 * 60_000,
						metadata: { flueInstance: options.id },
					});

			console.error(`[e2b] ${existing ? 'reconnected' : 'created'} ${sandbox.sandboxId}`);
			return e2b(sandbox).createSandbox(options);
		},
	});

	return 'You work in a Linux sandbox at /home/user. Use bash.';
}
```

Two runs of the same conversation id now share one workspace, across separate processes:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
npx flue run src/agents/durable.ts --id demo-1 --message "Write the text 'hello from turn one' to /home/user/note.txt, then confirm."
# [e2b] created ivk69fg95t9bndyf9odko

npx flue run src/agents/durable.ts --id demo-1 --message "cat /home/user/note.txt and quote it exactly."
# [e2b] reconnected ivk69fg95t9bndyf9odko
# > hello from turn one
```

Including `'paused'` in the state filter covers longer gaps: `Sandbox.connect()` resumes a [paused](/sandbox/persistence) sandbox with its filesystem intact, so a conversation can go quiet for days and come back to the same disk.

Reconnecting can only ever lengthen a sandbox's window. `connect()` keeps whatever time is left and raises it to the requested timeout — the 5-minute default, or the `timeoutMs` you pass — when the remainder is shorter than that. A sandbox with 20 minutes left keeps its 20 minutes either way.

## Use a custom template

`Sandbox.create()` takes a [template](/template/quickstart) name or ID as its first argument. Bake the language runtimes, system packages, and repo checkout your agent needs into a template so no turn is spent on `apt-get`:

```typescript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
const sandbox = await Sandbox.create('your-template-name', {
  timeoutMs: 10 * 60_000,
})
```

## Lifecycle is your job

The adapter never creates or kills anything — it only wraps the sandbox you pass in. What that leaves you:

* **Timeout is the backstop.** `timeoutMs` at creation decides how long an unattended sandbox lives; the sandbox dies at that point unless you [pause](/sandbox/persistence) it.
* **Nothing kills the sandbox when the agent finishes.** `flue run` exits and the sandbox keeps running. Call `sandbox.kill()` from a harness tool, from your server's teardown, or from a sweep keyed on metadata.

```typescript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

for (const sandbox of await Sandbox.list({
  query: { metadata: { framework: 'flue' }, state: ['running', 'paused'] },
}).nextItems()) {
  await Sandbox.kill(sandbox.sandboxId)
}
```

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="A failing command shows the agent only 'exit status 1'">
    The blueprint's `exec()` calls `sandbox.commands.run()` without a `try/catch`, and the E2B SDK **throws** `CommandExitError` on any non-zero exit instead of returning a result. Flue turns that throw into a bare tool error, so the model sees `<error>exit status 1</error>` and never sees stderr.

    Unwrap the error into the result the `SandboxDriver` contract expects:

    ```typescript title="src/sandboxes/e2b.ts" theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
    import { CommandExitError } from 'e2b';

    // inside E2BSandboxDriver.exec()
    try {
      const result = await this.sandbox.commands.run(command, {
        cwd: options?.cwd,
        envs: options?.env,
        timeoutMs: options?.timeoutMs,
      });
      return {
        stdout: result.stdout ?? '',
        stderr: result.stderr ?? '',
        exitCode: result.exitCode ?? 0,
      };
    } catch (error) {
      if (error instanceof CommandExitError) {
        return {
          stdout: error.stdout ?? '',
          stderr: error.stderr ?? '',
          exitCode: error.exitCode ?? 1,
        };
      }
      throw error;
    }
    ```

    The same `cat` of a missing file then reaches the model as `cat: /home/user/does-not-exist.txt: No such file or directory` plus the exit code — which is what it needs to fix its own command.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="AuthenticationError: API key is required">
    ```
    AuthenticationError: API key is required, please visit the API Keys tab at
    https://console.e2b.dev/?tab=keys to get your API key.
    ```

    The E2B SDK reads `E2B_API_KEY` from `process.env`. `flue run` loads the project's `.env` for you (`--env <file>` picks a different one). Anywhere else — a dev server, a built server, CI — put the key in the process environment yourself, or pass it explicitly with `Sandbox.create({ apiKey: process.env.MY_KEY })`.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="ERR_UNSUPPORTED_TYPESCRIPT_SYNTAX when importing the adapter">
    The blueprint's driver class uses a TypeScript parameter property (`constructor(private sandbox: E2BSandbox) {}`), which Node.js's built-in type stripping refuses to compile — including on Node 24:

    ```
    ERR_UNSUPPORTED_TYPESCRIPT_SYNTAX
    ```

    `flue run` compiles the file properly, so agents are unaffected. A standalone script that imports the adapter directly needs `node --experimental-transform-types`.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="rm fails with SandboxOperationUnsupportedError">
    ```
    SandboxOperationUnsupportedError: E2B does not support rm with "recursive".
    ```

    E2B's `files.remove()` has no recursive or force flags, so the adapter rejects both rather than silently ignoring them. When a tree has to go, let the agent run `rm -rf` through `bash` instead — that path goes through `commands.run()` and works.

## How the integration works

| Component | Responsibility |
| - | - |
| Flue runtime | Runs turns, persists the conversation, calls `createSandbox()` once per initialization |
| `useSandbox()` | Attaches the environment and adds the file and shell tools to the agent |
| Your factory | Creates or reconnects the E2B sandbox and owns its lifetime |
| `src/sandboxes/e2b.ts` | Maps Flue's `SandboxDriver` onto `sandbox.files` and `sandbox.commands` |
| E2B template | Base OS, runtimes, and pre-installed dependencies |

# Google ADK
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/agents/google-adk

Give Google ADK agents a secure E2B sandbox to run code, commands, and files in.

[Google ADK](https://google.github.io/adk-docs/) (Agent Development Kit) is
Google's framework for building agents, with Gemini as the default model. The
[E2B](https://e2b.dev/) integration gives ADK workloads an isolated remote
workspace for running code and commands instead of executing them on your host.

## Choose an integration

<CardGroup>
  <Card title="Native ADK environment" icon="box" href="#native-google-adk-environment">
    Use Google's built-in E2B environment for direct shell and file operations
  </Card>

  <Card title="Advanced E2B plugin" icon="plug" href="#advanced-e2b-plugin">
    Give an ADK agent ready-made code, command, file, and background-process tools
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

Choose the **native environment** when your application directly controls the
sandbox. Choose the **advanced plugin** when the agent itself should decide when
to run code, manage files, or start a service.

## Native: Google ADK environment

Google ADK includes the experimental
[`E2BEnvironment`](https://github.com/google/adk-python/tree/main/src/google/adk/integrations/e2b)
for direct command execution and file access through ADK's environment API. No
additional integration package is required.

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
pip install "google-adk[e2b]>=2.3.0"
```

Create and close the environment explicitly in your application:

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
import asyncio

from google.adk.integrations.e2b import E2BEnvironment


async def main() -> None:
    env = E2BEnvironment()
    await env.initialize()
    try:
        await env.write_file("hello.py", 'print("Hello from E2B")\n')
        result = await env.execute("python hello.py")
        print(result.stdout)
    finally:
        await env.close()


asyncio.run(main())
```

This path exposes the sandbox as a low-level workspace: your application calls
`execute`, `read_file`, and `write_file` itself.

## Advanced: E2B plugin

The [`e2b-adk`](https://pypi.org/project/e2b-adk/) plugin exposes sandbox
operations as tools the model can call. It adds stateful code execution, shell
commands, file management, and background processes backed by the
[E2B Code Interpreter](/). The plugin creates one sandbox lazily, shares it
across tool calls, and closes it with the ADK runner.

To use E2B with ADK:

1. Create an `E2BPlugin`.
2. Hand `plugin.get_tools()` to your `Agent` and register the plugin on the `App`.
3. Run the agent — every tool call executes inside the sandbox, and the plugin
   creates and tears the sandbox down for you.

### Install the dependencies

Install the plugin. It pulls in Google ADK and the E2B Code Interpreter SDK.

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
pip install e2b-adk
```

You need an E2B API key for the sandbox and a Gemini key for the model.

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
export E2B_API_KEY="..."
export GOOGLE_API_KEY="..."
```

## Example: Data analysis agent

A good fit for a sandbox is analysis the model shouldn't do in its head. Here the
agent is given a raw dataset and a question. Rather than eyeballing the numbers,
it writes the data to a file, runs real pandas against it, and reports figures it
actually computed — the sandbox is a calculator it can't fool.

### Create the plugin and agent

The plugin owns the sandbox. Pass its tools to the `Agent` and register it on the
`App`; the instruction is what makes the agent *run* code rather than guess.

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
from google.adk.agents import Agent
from google.adk.apps import App

from e2b_adk import E2BPlugin

INSTRUCTION = """You are a data analyst. You never guess numbers — you compute
them. Save any data you are given to a file with write_file, analyse it by
running real pandas with run_code, fix and re-run if the code errors, and report
the figures you computed. Never report a number you have not verified by running
code."""

plugin = E2BPlugin()
agent = Agent(
    model="gemini-2.5-flash",
    name="data_analyst",
    instruction=INSTRUCTION,
    tools=plugin.get_tools(),
)
app = App(name="data_analysis", root_agent=agent, plugins=[plugin])
```

### Run the analysis

Run the agent inside an `InMemoryRunner`. The sandbox is created lazily on the
first tool call, kept alive while the agent works, and killed when the
`async with` block exits — you never manage it yourself.

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
from google.adk.runners import InMemoryRunner

DATASET = """month,region,marketing_spend,revenue
2024-01,North,12000,48000
2024-02,North,15000,61000
2024-03,North,9000,37000
2024-04,North,18000,72000
2024-01,South,8000,26000
2024-02,South,11000,30000
2024-03,South,14000,33000
2024-04,South,17000,38000"""

async with InMemoryRunner(app=app) as runner:
    # run_debug prints the conversation as it runs.
    await runner.run_debug(
        f"Here is marketing spend and revenue as CSV:\n\n{DATASET}\n\n"
        "Save it to sales.csv, then tell me which region converts spend into "
        "revenue more efficiently and which month performed best."
    )
```

The agent writes `sales.csv` with `write_file`, then uses `run_code` to load it
with pandas, compute revenue-per-dollar and per-month totals, and answer in
prose — every number backed by an execution in the sandbox:

```text theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
data_analyst > North converts marketing spend into revenue more efficiently —
about $4.0 of revenue per $1 of spend versus roughly $2.5 for South. The best
single month was 2024-04 in North: $72,000 revenue from $18,000 spend.
```

Pass `verbose=True` to `run_debug` to also print each tool call and its result
as the agent works.

### Full example

```python expandable theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
import asyncio

from google.adk.agents import Agent
from google.adk.apps import App
from google.adk.runners import InMemoryRunner

async def main() -> None:
    plugin = E2BPlugin(metadata={"example": "data-analysis"})
    agent = Agent(
        model="gemini-2.5-flash",
        name="data_analyst",
        instruction=INSTRUCTION,
        tools=plugin.get_tools(),
    )
    app = App(name="data_analysis", root_agent=agent, plugins=[plugin])

    async with InMemoryRunner(app=app) as runner:
        # run_debug prints the conversation as it runs.
        await runner.run_debug(
            f"Here is marketing spend and revenue as CSV:\n\n{DATASET}\n\n"
            "Save it to sales.csv, then tell me which region converts spend "
            "into revenue more efficiently and which month performed best."
        )


asyncio.run(main())
```

## Example: Code generation agent

The same tools support a code generator that verifies its own work. The
instruction tells the agent to execute every snippet in the sandbox before
returning it, so what you get back has already run and passed its tests — no
untested code reaches the user.

```python expandable theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
import asyncio

from google.adk.agents import Agent
from google.adk.apps import App
from google.adk.runners import InMemoryRunner

from e2b_adk import E2BPlugin

INSTRUCTION = """You are a code generator that returns verified, working code.
For every request: (1) write the function, (2) write tests, (3) EXECUTE in the
sandbox with run_code, (4) if it fails, fix and re-run until tests pass,
(5) return ONLY the final function. Never return code you haven't executed."""


async def main() -> None:
    plugin = E2BPlugin(metadata={"example": "code-generator"})
    agent = Agent(
        model="gemini-2.5-flash",
        name="codegen",
        instruction=INSTRUCTION,
        tools=plugin.get_tools(),
    )
    app = App(name="codegen", root_agent=agent, plugins=[plugin])

    async with InMemoryRunner(app=app) as runner:
        # run_debug prints the conversation as it runs.
        await runner.run_debug(
            "Write a Python function group_by(items, key) that groups a list "
            "by a key function."
        )


asyncio.run(main())
```

## Tools

`plugin.get_tools()` returns six tools, all sharing the plugin's single sandbox
so state persists across calls. Each returns a dict with a `success` flag and
reports failures in the result rather than raising, so a bad call never aborts
the agent run. `success` means the tool *ran*: code that raised or a command
that exited non-zero still returns `success: True` with the failure captured in
`error` / `exit_code` — only a call that could not run at all returns
`success: False`.

| Tool | Does |
| - | - |
| `run_code` | Run code in a stateful kernel (variables persist across calls) |
| `run_command` | Run a shell command |
| `write_file` / `read_file` | Write and read files in the sandbox |
| `list_files` | List a directory |
| `start_background_command` | Start a long-running process, with an optional preview URL for a port |

## Configuration

`E2BPlugin` accepts keyword-only options, all optional. Anything you don't set
falls back to the E2B SDK's own default — the plugin overrides none of them.

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
plugin = E2BPlugin(
    api_key=None,    # defaults to the E2B_API_KEY env var
    template=None,   # E2B sandbox template
    metadata=None,   # dict[str, str] attached to the sandbox
    envs=None,       # environment variables inside the sandbox
    timeout=None,    # sandbox timeout in seconds (re-applied on every tool call)
    lifecycle=None,  # what happens on timeout — see below
    # ...every other AsyncSandbox.create() option is forwarded verbatim
)
```

The plugin keeps the sandbox alive while the agent is working: every tool call
pushes the expiry window forward by `timeout` (E2B's default is 300s). An idle
gap longer than `timeout` still expires the sandbox under E2B's default
lifecycle — pass
`lifecycle={"on_timeout": {"action": "pause"}, "auto_resume": True}` to pause
and auto-resume across idle gaps instead. See the
[repository README](https://github.com/e2b-dev/e2b-adk-plugin#configuration)
for the full option list.

# Grok Build
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/agents/grok

Run Grok Build in a secure E2B sandbox with full filesystem, terminal, and git access.

[Grok Build](https://x.ai/cli) is xAI's coding agent and CLI. E2B provides a pre-built `grok` template with Grok Build already installed.

## CLI

Create a sandbox with the [E2B CLI](/cli).

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
e2b sbx create grok
```

Once inside the sandbox, start Grok Build.

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
grok
```

## Run headless

Use `-p` for non-interactive mode and `--always-approve` to auto-approve all tool calls. The sandbox isolates the agent from your host machine, but sandboxes can reach the open internet by default — restrict outbound traffic with [network rules](/network/internet-access). Grok Build authenticates with an API key from the [xAI console](https://console.x.ai) via the `XAI_API_KEY` environment variable.

<Note>
  Auto-approving tool calls is contained by the sandbox: the agent cannot touch your host machine, local files, or credentials. It can still make outbound network requests — internet access is enabled by default. To limit where an auto-approved agent can connect, configure [outbound network rules](/network/internet-access) (`allowInternetAccess`, plus allow/deny lists by CIDR or hostname). Hostname rules apply to HTTP(S) traffic only; use CIDR rules for other protocols.
</Note>

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create('grok', {
    envs: { XAI_API_KEY: process.env.XAI_API_KEY },
  })

  const result = await sandbox.commands.run(
    `grok --always-approve -p "Create a hello world HTTP server in Go"`
  )

  console.log(result.stdout)
  await sandbox.kill()
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import os
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create("grok", envs={
      "XAI_API_KEY": os.environ["XAI_API_KEY"],
  })

  result = sandbox.commands.run(
      'grok --always-approve -p "Create a hello world HTTP server in Go"',
  )

  print(result.stdout)
  sandbox.kill()
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Example: work on a cloned repository

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create('grok', {

    { envs: { GITHUB_TOKEN: process.env.GITHUB_TOKEN } }
  )

  const result = await sandbox.commands.run(
    `cd /home/user/repo && grok --always-approve -p "Add error handling to all API endpoints"`,
    { onStdout: (data) => process.stdout.write(data) }
  )

  const diff = await sandbox.commands.run('cd /home/user/repo && git diff')
  console.log(diff.stdout)

  await sandbox.kill()
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}

  diff = sandbox.commands.run("cd /home/user/repo && git diff")
  print(diff.stdout)

  sandbox.kill()

## Build a custom template

If you need to customize the environment (e.g. pre-install dependencies, add config files), build your own template on top of the pre-built `grok` template.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  // template.ts
  import { Template } from 'e2b'

  export const template = Template()
    .fromTemplate('grok')
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  # template.py
  from e2b import Template

  template = (
      Template()
      .from_template("grok")
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  // build.ts
  import { Template, defaultBuildLogger } from 'e2b'
  import { template as grokTemplate } from './template'

  await Template.build(grokTemplate, 'my-grok', {
    cpuCount: 2,
    memoryMB: 2048,
    onBuildLogs: defaultBuildLogger(),
  })
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  # build.py
  from e2b import Template, default_build_logger
  from template import template as grok_template

  Template.build(grok_template, "my-grok",
      cpu_count=2,
      memory_mb=2048,
      on_build_logs=default_build_logger(),
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

Run the build script to create the template.

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}

# Hermes Agent
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/agents/hermes

Run Hermes Agent in a secure E2B sandbox with persistent sessions, memory, and self-improving skills.

[Hermes Agent](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent) is an open-source, model-agnostic agent with terminal and file tools, persistent memory, resumable sessions, and reusable skills it can create and improve. E2B provides a pre-built `hermes` template with the Hermes CLI and bundled skills already installed.

## CLI

Create a sandbox with the [E2B CLI](/cli).

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
e2b sbx create hermes
```

Once inside the sandbox, configure a provider or start Hermes if your credentials are already available.

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
hermes model
hermes
```

## Run headless

Use `chat -q` for a single non-interactive turn and `-Q` to keep stdout suitable for scripts. `--yolo` lets Hermes use terminal, file, browser, memory, and skill tools without waiting for approval. The sandbox isolates those tools from your host machine, but sandboxes can reach the open internet by default — restrict outbound traffic with [network rules](/network/internet-access) when the agent processes untrusted input or handles secrets.

Hermes supports multiple model providers. The examples below use OpenRouter; pass a different provider key and select it with `--provider` and `--model` if needed.

<Note>
  Auto-approved tool calls can modify the sandbox filesystem and make outbound requests, but cannot access your host files or credentials unless you explicitly copy or pass them into the sandbox. Use [outbound network rules](/network/internet-access) to limit access by CIDR or hostname. Hostname rules apply to HTTP(S) traffic only; use CIDR rules for other protocols.
</Note>

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create('hermes', {
    envs: { OPENROUTER_API_KEY: process.env.OPENROUTER_API_KEY },
    timeoutMs: 600_000,
  })

  const result = await sandbox.commands.run(
    `hermes chat -Q --yolo --provider openrouter --model anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6 -q "Inspect this workspace and summarize its purpose"`
  )

  console.log(result.stdout)
  await sandbox.kill()
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import os
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create("hermes", envs={
      "OPENROUTER_API_KEY": os.environ["OPENROUTER_API_KEY"],
  }, timeout=600)

  result = sandbox.commands.run(
      'hermes chat -Q --yolo --provider openrouter '
      '--model anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6 '
      '-q "Inspect this workspace and summarize its purpose"',
  )

  print(result.stdout)
  sandbox.kill()
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Teach Hermes a reusable skill

Hermes can turn a successful procedure into a skill and reuse it in a fresh session. Keep both turns in one E2B sandbox so `~/.hermes`, the workspace, and the created skill remain available.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create('hermes', {
    envs: { OPENROUTER_API_KEY: process.env.OPENROUTER_API_KEY },
    timeoutMs: 900_000,
  })

  await sandbox.commands.run('mkdir -p /home/user/incidents')
  await sandbox.files.write('/home/user/runbook.md', `
  # Checkout incident runbook
  - Compare error rates by endpoint and release.
  - Check dependency latency before proposing a rollback.
  - Write findings to /home/user/reports/incident.md.
  `)
  await sandbox.files.write('/home/user/incidents/first.json', JSON.stringify({
    release: 'checkout-42',
    errorRate: 0.08,
    paymentsP95Ms: 1700,
  }))
  const common =
    'hermes chat -Q --yolo --provider openrouter ' +
    '--model anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6 '

  await sandbox.commands.run(
    common +
    `-q "Study /home/user/runbook.md, apply it to /home/user/incidents/first.json, and create a reusable skill named incident-triage"`,
  )

  await sandbox.files.write('/home/user/incidents/next.json', JSON.stringify({
    release: 'checkout-43',
    errorRate: 0.11,
    errorsByRelease: { 'checkout-42': 3, 'checkout-43': 417 },
  }))

  const nextIncident = await sandbox.commands.run(
    common +
    `--skills incident-triage -q "Use the incident-triage skill to investigate the newest incident"`,
  )

  console.log(nextIncident.stdout)
  await sandbox.kill()
  ```

      "payments_p95_ms": 1700,
  }))
  common = (
      "hermes chat -Q --yolo --provider openrouter "
      "--model anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6 "
  )

  sandbox.commands.run(
      common
      + '-q "Study /home/user/runbook.md, apply it to '
      '/home/user/incidents/first.json, and create a reusable skill named '
      'incident-triage"',
  )

  sandbox.files.write("/home/user/incidents/next.json", json.dumps({
      "release": "checkout-43",
      "error_rate": 0.11,
      "errors_by_release": {"checkout-42": 3, "checkout-43": 417},
  }))

  next_incident = sandbox.commands.run(
      common
      + '--skills incident-triage '
      '-q "Use the incident-triage skill to investigate the newest incident"',
  )

  print(next_incident.stdout)
  sandbox.kill()
  ```
</CodeGroup>

Hermes stores user-created skills under `~/.hermes/skills/` and curated memory under `~/.hermes/memories/`. Both remain available for the lifetime of the sandbox. If you pause and resume the same sandbox, its filesystem state is preserved; killing the sandbox removes it.

## Resume a session

Hermes saves conversation sessions inside the sandbox. Use `-c` to continue the most recent session, or `--resume <session>` to select one by ID or title.

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
hermes chat -Q --yolo -c -q "Continue the investigation and implement the first fix"
```

## How it works

Hermes itself runs inside E2B. Its local terminal and file tools therefore operate on the E2B filesystem and processes, while E2B owns sandbox lifecycle, isolation, resource limits, and network policy. No separate Hermes terminal-backend integration is required for this setup.


# LangGraph
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/agents/langgraph

Run code from your own LangGraph graph in an E2B sandbox, and keep that sandbox alive across graph steps, checkpoints and human-in-the-loop interrupts.

[LangGraph](https://docs.langchain.com/oss/python/langgraph/overview) is LangChain's runtime for building agents as explicit graphs — you write the nodes, the edges and the state. With E2B, code execution becomes a tool your graph calls: model-generated Python or shell commands run in an isolated sandbox, and the results flow back into graph state.

This page is for graphs you build yourself. If you want a ready-made harness where E2B is the agent's whole environment, use [Deep Agents](/agents/deep-agents); for a deployable coding agent, use [Open SWE](/agents/open-swe). The [comparison](#langgraph-vs-deep-agents-vs-open-swe) at the end spells out the difference.

## Install the dependencies

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
pip install langgraph langchain langchain-openai e2b-code-interpreter
```

Set API keys for E2B and your model provider:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
export E2B_API_KEY="e2b_***"        # get yours at https://console.e2b.dev
export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-***"
```

## A code-execution tool

The smallest useful integration is a tool that runs Python in a sandbox, given to a tool-calling agent. The sandbox is not created inside the tool — it is passed in through LangGraph's **runtime context**, so every call in the run reuses the same kernel and the same filesystem:

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
from dataclasses import dataclass

from e2b_code_interpreter import Sandbox
from langchain.agents import create_agent
from langchain.tools import ToolRuntime, tool
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI


@dataclass
class Context:
    sandbox: Sandbox


@tool
def run_python(code: str, runtime: ToolRuntime[Context]) -> str:
    """Run Python in a Jupyter kernel. Returns stdout, the last result, or the error."""
    execution = runtime.context.sandbox.run_code(code)
    if execution.error:
        return f"{execution.error.name}: {execution.error.value}"
    return "\n".join(execution.logs.stdout) + (execution.text or "")


agent = create_agent(
    ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-5.6-luna", use_responses_api=True, reasoning={"effort": "high"}),
    tools=[run_python],
    system_prompt="Answer by running Python. Check the tool result for an error before answering.",
    context_schema=Context,
)

sandbox = Sandbox.create(timeout=600)
try:
    result = agent.invoke(
        {"messages": [("human", "How many r's are in 'strawberry'? Use code.")]},
        context=Context(sandbox=sandbox),
    )
    print(result["messages"][-1].text)
finally:
    sandbox.kill()
```

`runtime: ToolRuntime[Context]` is injected by LangGraph and never appears in the schema the model sees — the model only sees `code`. You pass `context=` on every `invoke`, which is what makes the lifecycle below possible. Any tool-calling chat model works here; for OpenAI reasoning models use the Responses API (`use_responses_api=True`) and set `reasoning={"effort": ...}` — OpenAI recommends Responses for function calling with reasoning models.

## Sandbox lifecycle across graph steps

A LangGraph run can outlive a single tool call by a lot: nodes run one after another, a checkpointer persists state between them, and `interrupt()` can hold the graph for as long as a human takes to answer. The sandbox has its own lifecycle. Three rules keep the two in step.

### Keep the `Sandbox` in context and the `sandbox_id` in state

Graph state is checkpointed, so everything in it must be serialisable. The `Sandbox` object is not — it holds a live connection. Put the object in `context_schema` and its id in state:

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
from typing import TypedDict

from langgraph.checkpoint.memory import InMemorySaver
from langgraph.graph import END, START, StateGraph
from langgraph.runtime import Runtime


class State(TypedDict, total=False):
    sandbox_id: str
    output: str


def run_step(state: State, runtime: Runtime[Context]) -> State:
    sandbox = runtime.context.sandbox
    execution = sandbox.run_code("import platform; print(platform.python_version())")
    return {"sandbox_id": sandbox.sandbox_id, "output": execution.logs.stdout[0]}


graph = (
    StateGraph(State, context_schema=Context)
    .add_node("run_step", run_step)
    .add_edge(START, "run_step")
    .add_edge("run_step", END)
    .compile(checkpointer=InMemorySaver())
)

config = {"configurable": {"thread_id": "review-42"}}
graph.invoke({}, config=config, context=Context(sandbox=sandbox))
```

Every node in the run reads `runtime.context.sandbox` and gets the same sandbox. Files written in one node are there for the next; variables defined in one `run_code` call are defined in the next.

### Rebuild the context when you resume

Context is **not** checkpointed. After an `interrupt()`, or when a resume runs in a different process from the original invoke, nodes see `runtime.context` as `None`. The only thing the checkpoint kept is the `sandbox_id` in state — reconnect from it:

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
from langgraph.types import Command

result = graph.invoke({}, config=config, context=Context(sandbox=sandbox))

if "__interrupt__" in result:
    sandbox = Sandbox.connect(graph.get_state(config).values["sandbox_id"])
    result = graph.invoke(
        Command(resume=True),
        config=config,
        context=Context(sandbox=sandbox),
    )
```

`Sandbox.connect()` returns a handle to the same sandbox, with its filesystem and running processes intact. If the sandbox was paused in the meantime, `connect()` resumes it.

### Let the sandbox outlive the interrupt

The default sandbox timeout is 300 seconds. A human reviewing a plan may take longer, and a sandbox that hit its timeout is gone. Tell E2B to pause instead of kill, and to wake up when the graph comes back:

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
sandbox = Sandbox.create(
    timeout=600,
    lifecycle={"on_timeout": "pause", "auto_resume": True},
)
```

On timeout the sandbox is paused with its memory and filesystem preserved, and it stays paused until you kill it. The next SDK call — `Sandbox.connect()`, `run_code()`, `files.read()` — resumes it automatically. See [Auto-resume](/sandbox/auto-resume) and [Persistence](/sandbox/persistence).

### Tear down explicitly

Kill the sandbox in a `finally` block so cleanup runs whether the graph finished, was rejected at the interrupt, or raised. If you would rather tie it to the agent's lifetime, an [`AgentMiddleware`](https://docs.langchain.com/oss/python/langchain/middleware) `after_agent` hook receives the same `runtime` and can call `runtime.context.sandbox.kill()`.

## Plan-and-execute coding agent

The [cookbook example](https://github.com/e2b-dev/e2b-cookbook/tree/main/examples/langgraph-plan-and-execute-python) puts all of this into one hand-wired graph. It repairs a small Python project whose tests fail:

```
START → bootstrap → plan → approve → execute ─┐
                      ▲                       │ (more steps)
                      │                       ▼
                      └──(red, < 3 tries)── verify ──(green)── summarize → END
```

* `bootstrap` uploads the project, installs pytest and records the failing output — in a sandbox created with `on_timeout: pause`.
* `plan` asks the model for an ordered list of file changes as structured output.
* `approve` stops the graph with `interrupt()`; the resume reconnects from `sandbox_id`.
* `execute` runs one plan step per node visit with a small tool-calling agent (`read_file`, `write_file`, `run_command`), always in the same sandbox — pytest installed in `bootstrap` is still there.
* `verify` re-runs the suite; the graph re-plans on red, at most three times, and exits non-zero if the tests never pass.

The example ships with unit tests that run the graph against a fake sandbox, so the resume and re-plan paths are checked without a network.

## Results and errors

`run_code()` returns an `Execution`:

* `logs.stdout` / `logs.stderr` — lists of output lines;
* `results` — rich outputs such as text, charts (`png`), HTML or JSON; `execution.text` is the text of the last one;
* `error` — `None`, or an object with `name`, `value` and `traceback` when the cell raised.

Return the error to the model and tell it to check for one before answering; a wrong answer with an unread traceback is the most common failure mode. For shell commands, `sandbox.commands.run()` raises `CommandExitException` on a non-zero exit — it carries `exit_code`, `stdout` and `stderr`, so a tool can catch it and return all three.

## Security considerations

E2B isolates model-generated code from the machine running your graph. The sandbox still processes untrusted input and produces untrusted output:

* do not expose API keys or other host secrets to the sandbox unless the task needs them;
* keep sandbox and per-call timeouts as short as the workload allows, and use `on_timeout: pause` rather than a very long timeout when a human is in the loop;
* kill sandboxes you own, in `finally`;
* treat files the agent writes as a proposal to review, not a result to trust.

## LangGraph vs. Deep Agents vs. Open SWE

All three are LangChain projects and all three run on the LangGraph runtime. They differ in how much graph you write and in what role the sandbox plays:

| | **LangGraph** (this page) | **[Deep Agents](/agents/deep-agents)** | **[Open SWE](/agents/open-swe)** |
| - | - | - | - |
| What it is | The graph runtime — you write nodes, edges and state | A ready-made agent harness on LangGraph | A deployable coding agent on Deep Agents |
| Role of E2B | A **tool** your graph calls; results land in state | The agent's **environment** — files and shell live in the sandbox | Same as Deep Agents, managed per thread |
| How you use E2B | Pass a `Sandbox` in runtime context, `Sandbox.connect()` on resume | Pass `E2BSandbox(sandbox)` from `langchain-e2b` to `create_deep_agent` | Set `SANDBOX_TYPE="e2b"` |
| Use it when | You need custom control flow: plan-and-execute, approval gates, re-planning | You want a coding agent with filesystem and shell tools out of the box | You want a GitHub/Slack/Linear-driven coding agent for your org |

# Letta
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/agents/letta

Run Letta custom server tools in isolated E2B sandboxes.

[Letta](https://www.letta.com/) (formerly MemGPT) is a platform for building stateful agents with persistent memory. Letta can execute custom server-side tools in an isolated E2B sandbox instead of running user-defined tool code in the Letta server environment.

<Info>
  This integration uses Letta's [legacy Docker server](https://docs.letta.com/v1-sdk/docker), which is no longer actively maintained. Letta is deprecating the V1 SDK in favor of the [Agent SDK](https://docs.letta.com/agent-sdk) and [App Server](https://docs.letta.com/platform/app-server), which are recommended for new projects. Use this guide to connect E2B to an existing V1 Docker deployment.
</Info>

## Prerequisites

* Docker
* A [Letta model provider key](https://docs.letta.com/v1-sdk/docker/#enabling-additional-model-providers)
* An <a href="https://console.e2b.dev/?tab=keys">E2B API key</a>
* Optional: an E2B [sandbox template](/template/quickstart) ID. Without one, Letta uses the default E2B sandbox.

## Enable E2B tool sandboxing

Create a `.env` file for the Letta container. Do not commit this file:

```dotenv theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key
E2B_API_KEY=e2b_your_api_key
# Optional. Omit to use the default E2B sandbox.
E2B_SANDBOX_TEMPLATE_ID=your_template_id
LETTA_SERVER_PASSWORD=choose_a_strong_password
```

Start the Letta Docker server with password protection enabled:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
docker run \
  -v ~/.letta/.persist/pgdata:/var/lib/postgresql/data \
  -p 127.0.0.1:8283:8283 \
  --env-file .env \
  -e SECURE=true \
  letta/letta:latest
```

When `E2B_API_KEY` is present, Letta runs custom tools created from source code in a sandboxed environment. Set `E2B_SANDBOX_TEMPLATE_ID` to run those tools in your own template instead of the default E2B sandbox. The `LETTA_SERVER_PASSWORD` value is used to authenticate requests to the local server.

Load the same values into the shell where you run the client and `curl` examples:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
set -a
source .env
set +a
```

## Create and attach a custom tool

Install the Letta Python client:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
pip install letta-client
```

Create a source-defined tool with a Google-style docstring so Letta can derive its tool schema:

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
import os

from letta_client import Letta


client = Letta(
    base_url="http://localhost:8283",
    api_key=os.environ["LETTA_SERVER_PASSWORD"],
)


source_code = '''
def inspect_sandbox() -> str:
    """List the entries in the current E2B sandbox directory.

    Returns:
        A newline-separated list of directory entries.
    """
    from pathlib import Path

    return "\\n".join(sorted(entry.name for entry in Path(".").iterdir()))
'''

tool = client.tools.create(source_code=source_code)
print(f"Created tool: {tool.id}")

agent = client.agents.create(
    model="openai/gpt-4o-mini",
    embedding="openai/text-embedding-3-small",
)
print(f"Created agent: {agent.id}")
```

Set `TOOL_ID` and `AGENT_ID` to the IDs printed by the script, then attach the tool:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
curl --request PATCH \
  --url "http://localhost:8283/v1/agents/$AGENT_ID/tools/attach/$TOOL_ID" \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $LETTA_SERVER_PASSWORD"
```

Send a message that asks the agent to use the tool:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
curl --request POST \
  --url "http://localhost:8283/v1/agents/$AGENT_ID/messages" \
  --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $LETTA_SERVER_PASSWORD" \
  --data '{
    "messages": [
      {
        "role": "user",
        "content": "Use inspect_sandbox and report the entries you find."
      }
    ]
  }'
```

Letta sends the source-defined tool to the configured E2B sandbox when the agent calls it, so the tool code does not execute in the Letta API server process.

## Tool lifecycle

The legacy Letta integration creates a fresh E2B sandbox for each tool call and terminates it after the call completes, including failed calls. Files, installed packages, and other runtime state do not persist between calls. Put reusable dependencies in a custom E2B template instead.

<Note>
  E2B tool sandboxing applies to custom server-side tools created from source code. MCP tools execute on their MCP server, and built-in tools such as `memory_insert` are not moved into E2B by these variables. Use client-side tools when code must run in the application that calls Letta.
</Note>

## Security considerations

* Keep `E2B_API_KEY`, model provider keys, and `LETTA_SERVER_PASSWORD` in a secret store or an untracked `.env` file.
* Treat tool arguments and tool output as untrusted because they may be influenced by an agent or user.
* If you use a custom E2B template, give it only the packages and permissions the tool needs.
* Protect the Letta server with `SECURE=true` before exposing it beyond localhost.

# Mastra
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/agents/mastra

Build a Mastra coding agent with secure E2B sandboxes.

[Mastra](https://mastra.ai) is a TypeScript framework for building AI agents and workflows. The [`@mastra/e2b`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@mastra/e2b) package connects a Mastra workspace to an E2B sandbox, so agent-generated commands run in an isolated cloud environment instead of on your machine.

In this guide, you will build a command-line coding agent that:

1. Starts an E2B sandbox through Mastra's workspace API.
2. Creates and tests a small project inside the sandbox.
3. Streams its progress to your terminal.
4. Destroys the sandbox when the task finishes.

## Prerequisites

* Node.js 22.13.0 or later
* An <a href="https://console.e2b.dev/?tab=keys">E2B API key</a>
* An API key for a [model provider supported by Mastra](https://mastra.ai/models)

This guide uses OpenAI, but you can replace the model with any model supported by Mastra.

## Create the project

Create a new Node.js project and install Mastra, the E2B workspace provider, and their required dependencies:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
mkdir mastra-e2b-agent
cd mastra-e2b-agent
npm init -y
npm pkg set type=module
npm install @mastra/core @mastra/e2b zod
npm install --save-dev tsx typescript @types/node
```

Set your E2B and model provider API keys:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
export E2B_API_KEY="e2b_***"
export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-***"
```

## Build the coding agent

Create an `index.ts` file:

```typescript title="index.ts" theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
import { Agent } from '@mastra/core/agent'
import { Workspace } from '@mastra/core/workspace'
import { E2BSandbox } from '@mastra/e2b'

const task =
  process.argv.slice(2).join(' ') ||
  `Create /home/user/mastra-demo/slugify.js and a test file using
   Node.js's built-in test runner. Run the tests and report the exact output.`

const workspace = new Workspace({
  sandbox: new E2BSandbox({
    id: `mastra-coding-agent-${Date.now()}`, // Mastra's logical sandbox ID
    timeout: 600_000, // 10 minutes; Mastra expects milliseconds
  }),
})

const agent = new Agent({
  id: 'coding-agent',
  name: 'Coding Agent',
  model: 'openai/gpt-5.4-mini',
  instructions: `
    You are a software engineer working in an isolated E2B sandbox.
    Use shell commands to create, inspect, and edit files inside the sandbox.
    Run the relevant tests and verify that they pass before you respond.
    Include the files you changed, the verification command, and its output
    in your final response.
  `,
  workspace,
})

try {
  await workspace.init()

  const stream = await agent.stream(task, { maxSteps: 30 })

  for await (const chunk of stream.textStream) {
    process.stdout.write(chunk)
  }
  process.stdout.write('\n')
} finally {
  await workspace.destroy()
}
```

The Mastra agent runs in your local Node.js process. Mastra automatically gives it an `execute_command` workspace tool, while `@mastra/e2b` routes those commands to the E2B sandbox through the JavaScript E2B SDK. Under the hood, workspace initialization creates or reconnects to a sandbox, command tools use E2B command execution, and workspace destruction kills the sandbox.

The `id` option is Mastra's logical identifier, stored in E2B metadata so the provider can find the same sandbox again. The provider manages the native E2B sandbox ID for you. This one-shot example includes a timestamp so concurrent runs receive separate sandboxes.

<Note>
  A workspace configured with only a sandbox provides command execution tools, not Mastra's dedicated `read_file` or `write_file` tools. This example uses shell commands to work with files. To add dedicated file tools backed by shared cloud storage, configure an S3, GCS, or Azure Blob mount in the workspace.
</Note>

## Run the agent

Run the default task:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
npx tsx index.ts
```

Or pass your own coding task:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
npx tsx index.ts "Create a small Express API with a health endpoint and test it"
```

The first workspace initialization creates the E2B sandbox. The agent can then install packages, create files, run commands, and start background processes entirely inside the sandbox. The `finally` block calls `workspace.destroy()` so the sandbox is cleaned up even if the agent fails.

## Use a custom template

For repeatable environments and faster startup, pre-install your runtimes and dependencies in an [E2B template](/template/quickstart), then pass its ID or name to `E2BSandbox`:

```typescript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
const workspace = new Workspace({
  sandbox: new E2BSandbox({
    template: 'your-template-id-or-name',
    timeout: 600_000, // 10 minutes; Mastra expects milliseconds
  }),
})
```

Use templates when every agent run needs the same language toolchain, system packages, or repository bootstrap files.

## How the integration works

| Component | Responsibility |
| - | - |
| `Agent` | Chooses commands and iterates until the coding task is complete |
| `Workspace` | Adds command and process tools to the agent |
| `E2BSandbox` | Creates the E2B sandbox and executes workspace commands inside it |
| E2B template | Defines the operating system, runtimes, and pre-installed dependencies |

# Muse Code
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/agents/muse

Run Muse Code in a secure E2B sandbox with full filesystem, terminal, and git access.

[Muse Code](https://dev.meta.ai/docs/muse-code) is Meta's coding agent for the terminal and CI, built on Muse Spark. E2B provides a pre-built `muse` template with Muse Code already installed.

## CLI

Create a sandbox with the [E2B CLI](/cli).

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
e2b sbx create muse
```

Once inside the sandbox, start Muse Code.

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
muse
```

## Run headless

Use `muse exec` for non-interactive mode and `--yolo` to skip approval prompts, disable Muse Code's own OS sandbox, and trust the workspace. The E2B sandbox is the isolation boundary here, so Muse Code's built-in sandbox is not needed. The sandbox isolates the agent from your host machine, but sandboxes can reach the open internet by default; restrict outbound traffic with [network rules](/network/internet-access). Muse Code authenticates with an API key from the [Meta Model API dashboard](https://dev.meta.ai) via the `META_API_KEY` environment variable.

<Note>
  Auto-approving tool calls is contained by the sandbox: the agent cannot touch your host machine, local files, or credentials. It can still make outbound network requests, since internet access is enabled by default. To limit where an auto-approved agent can connect, configure [outbound network rules](/network/internet-access) (`allowInternetAccess`, plus allow/deny lists by CIDR or hostname). Hostname rules apply to HTTP(S) traffic only; use CIDR rules for other protocols.

</CodeGroup>

Add `--json` to emit machine-readable JSONL events instead of plain text, and `--max-model-steps` to cap a run that would otherwise loop.

### Example: work on a cloned repository

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create('muse', {
    envs: { META_API_KEY: process.env.META_API_KEY },
    timeoutMs: 600_000,
  })

  await sandbox.commands.run(
    'git clone --depth 1 https://x-access-token:$GITHUB_TOKEN@github.com/your-org/your-repo.git /home/user/repo',
    { envs: { GITHUB_TOKEN: process.env.GITHUB_TOKEN } }
  )

  const result = await sandbox.commands.run(
    `cd /home/user/repo && muse exec --yolo "Add error handling to all API endpoints"`,
    { onStdout: (data) => process.stdout.write(data) }
  )

  const diff = await sandbox.commands.run('cd /home/user/repo && git diff')
  console.log(diff.stdout)

  await sandbox.kill()
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import os
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create("muse", envs={
      "META_API_KEY": os.environ["META_API_KEY"],
  }, timeout=600)

  sandbox.commands.run(
      "git clone --depth 1 https://x-access-token:$GITHUB_TOKEN@github.com/your-org/your-repo.git /home/user/repo",
      envs={"GITHUB_TOKEN": os.environ["GITHUB_TOKEN"]},
  )

  result = sandbox.commands.run(
      'cd /home/user/repo && muse exec --yolo "Add error handling to all API endpoints"',
      on_stdout=lambda data: print(data, end=""),
  )

  diff = sandbox.commands.run("cd /home/user/repo && git diff")
  print(diff.stdout)

  sandbox.kill()
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Build a custom template

If you need to customize the environment (e.g. pre-install dependencies, add config files), build your own template on top of the pre-built `muse` template.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  // template.ts
  import { Template } from 'e2b'

  export const template = Template()
    .fromTemplate('muse')
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  # template.py
  from e2b import Template

  template = (
      Template()
      .from_template("muse")
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  // build.ts
  import { Template, defaultBuildLogger } from 'e2b'
  import { template as museTemplate } from './template'

  await Template.build(museTemplate, 'my-muse', {
    cpuCount: 2,
    memoryMB: 2048,
    onBuildLogs: defaultBuildLogger(),
  })
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  # build.py
  from e2b import Template, default_build_logger
  from template import template as muse_template

  Template.build(muse_template, "my-muse",
      cpu_count=2,
      memory_mb=2048,
      on_build_logs=default_build_logger(),
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

Run the build script to create the template.

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  npx tsx build.ts
  ```

  ```bash Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  python build.py
  ```
</CodeGroup>

# NVIDIA NeMo Gym
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/agents/nemo-gym

Run NVIDIA NeMo Gym agent evaluation and training environments in E2B sandboxes.

[NVIDIA NeMo Gym](https://github.com/NVIDIA-NeMo/Gym) is a library for evaluating and training models and agents against environments — a dataset of tasks, an agent harness, a verifier, and per-task execution state. NeMo Gym itself keeps running on your own machine or cluster; its `e2b` sandbox provider moves each task's shell commands and verification script into an isolated E2B sandbox instead of executing them on that host.

## Install

The E2B provider ships in NeMo Gym's `sandbox` extra. Install it from a checkout of the repository:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
uv sync --extra sandbox
```

<Note>
  The `e2b` provider is not part of a published NeMo Gym release yet — the latest `nemo-gym` on PyPI (0.5.0) does not include it. Install from the repository until a release ships it, after which `pip install "nemo-gym[sandbox]"` works. The provider requires `e2b>=2.36.0,<3.0.0`.
</Note>

Set your E2B API key:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
export E2B_API_KEY="e2b_..."
```

## Configure the E2B provider

NeMo Gym ships a ready-to-use provider config at `nemo_gym/sandbox/providers/e2b/configs/e2b.yaml`. The fields that matter most for an E2B run:

```yaml theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
sandbox:
  default_metadata:
    sandbox-api: e2b
  e2b:
    connection:
      api_key: ${oc.env:E2B_API_KEY,null}
      api_url: ${oc.env:E2B_API_URL,null}
      sandbox_url: ${oc.env:E2B_SANDBOX_URL,null}
      request_timeout_s: 120.0
    create:
      template: null
      template_map: {}
      timeout_s: 3600.0
      secure: true
      allow_internet_access: true
      strict_resources: false
    exec:
      default_timeout_s: 180.0
      background: true
      reconnect_attempts: 2
```

Leave `api_url` and `sandbox_url` unset for the hosted E2B service. For an E2B-compatible gateway, set both to the endpoints supplied by the gateway operator.

## Wire the provider into a run

Layer the provider config alongside an agent and model config. Every shipped provider config binds the same instance name, `sandbox`, so switching sandbox backends means swapping this one path — any harness that reads `sandbox_provider: sandbox` works the same way:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
gym env start \
  --config responses_api_agents/mini_swe_agent_2/configs/mini_swe_agent_2.yaml \
  --config nemo_gym/sandbox/providers/e2b/configs/e2b.yaml \
  --config responses_api_models/vllm_model/configs/vllm_model.yaml
```

For each task, NeMo Gym creates an E2B sandbox from the resolved template, runs the agent's commands and file transfers through it, and tears it down when the task finishes. Teardown is best-effort and runs off the critical path, so treat the sandbox lifetime — `create.timeout_s`, or a harness's own `sandbox_spec.ttl_s` where it overrides that — as the backstop that reclaims orphaned sandboxes.

<Note>
  Two provider rules apply before a run reaches E2B. The provider accepts only `template` under `provider_options` and rejects anything else before allocating a sandbox, and it will not start from an OCI image reference that has no `create.template_map` entry. A harness that sets other provider options, or that supplies image references, needs those adjusted in your own config layer.
</Note>

## Build templates from OCI images

E2B starts a sandbox from a template name or ID, not an OCI image reference directly. NeMo Gym includes a provisioning CLI that builds an E2B template from an OCI image ahead of a run:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
python -m nemo_gym.sandbox.providers.e2b.build \
  --image ghcr.io/acme/task:1.0 \
  --cpu-count 8 \
  --memory-mb 16384 \
  --output template_map.yaml
```

Paste the generated mapping under the provider's `create` block:

```yaml theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
sandbox:
  e2b:
    create:
      template_map:
        "ghcr.io/acme/task:1.0": task-1-0__f00ee9d593d9
```

Generated template names are deterministic for the image, CPU count, and memory size, so a matching template is reused rather than rebuilt. Template builds can create E2B resources and are never triggered implicitly by sandbox creation.

## Security considerations

* The shipped config keeps `secure: true`, so the sandbox `envd` service requires an access token.
* Outbound internet access is enabled by default. Set `create.allow_internet_access: false` for offline or untrusted workloads, or use [outbound network rules](/network/internet-access) to restrict traffic by CIDR or hostname.
* `mini_swe_agent_2` strips `e2b.connection.api_key`, `headers`, and `api_headers` from the per-instance worker config it writes to disk and passes them through the worker environment instead, so the API key never lands in a serialized config file.
* NeMo Gym identifies its traffic by appending `nemo-gym/<version>` to the E2B SDK's `User-Agent` through E2B's `set_integration` hook. An explicit custom `User-Agent` in the connection headers takes precedence and hides that attribution.

For the full configuration reference, `SandboxSpec` field mapping, and lifecycle and retry behavior, see the [NeMo Gym E2B provider documentation](https://docs.nvidia.com/nemo/gym/latest/infrastructure/sandbox/e2b).


# LangChain Open SWE
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/agents/open-swe

Use E2B sandboxes as the execution environment for Open SWE, LangChain's open-source coding agent framework.

[Open SWE](https://github.com/langchain-ai/open-swe) is LangChain's open-source framework for building your org's internal coding agent, built on [LangGraph](https://langchain-ai.github.io/langgraph/) and [Deep Agents](https://github.com/langchain-ai/deepagents). Every task runs in an isolated cloud sandbox where the agent gets full shell access — and E2B is a supported sandbox provider out of the box.

## Get started

<Steps>
  <Step title="Clone and install Open SWE">
    ```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
    git clone https://github.com/langchain-ai/open-swe.git
    cd open-swe
    uv venv
    source .venv/bin/activate
    uv sync --all-extras
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set the sandbox provider to E2B">
    Get your API key from the <a href="https://console.e2b.dev/?tab=keys">E2B console</a> and create a `.env` file in the repo root — `langgraph dev` loads it automatically:

    ```bash .env theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
    SANDBOX_TYPE="e2b"
    E2B_API_KEY="e2b_***"       # get yours at https://console.e2b.dev
    E2B_TEMPLATE="my-template"  # optional: custom sandbox template

    # === LLM ===
    OPENAI_API_KEY=""           # default model is openai:gpt-5.6-sol
    ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=""        # when using anthropic: models
    ```

    You need an API key for at least one LLM provider — the default model is `openai:gpt-5.6-sol`, and you can switch with `LLM_MODEL_ID` (e.g. `LLM_MODEL_ID="anthropic:claude-sonnet-5"`). Google and Fireworks are also supported — see the [full environment variable reference](https://github.com/langchain-ai/open-swe/blob/main/docs/INSTALLATION.md#6-environment-variables) for LangSmith tracing, GitHub App, and trigger configuration.

    No other sandbox changes are needed — Open SWE creates and manages the sandboxes for you.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Run the backend">
    Open SWE's backend is a LangGraph app served together with its webhook API:

    ```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
    langgraph dev
    ```

    The full deployment (GitHub App, webhooks, dashboard) is covered in the [installation guide](https://github.com/langchain-ai/open-swe/blob/main/docs/INSTALLATION.md).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Watch the sandboxes">
    As Open SWE picks up tasks, you can watch it create and reuse sandboxes with the [E2B CLI](/cli):

    ```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
    e2b sandbox list --state running
    ```
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Custom templates

By default, sandboxes start from the E2B base template. To pre-install languages, frameworks, or internal tools your repositories depend on — and cut setup time per agent run — build a [custom template](/template/quickstart) and point Open SWE at it:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
E2B_TEMPLATE="your-template-id-or-name"
```

# OpenAI Agents API
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/agents/openai-agents-api

Run OpenAI Agents API sessions in isolated E2B sandboxes.

The [OpenAI Agents API](https://platform.openai.com/docs) (preview) runs the
agent in OpenAI's cloud and keeps its session state. With a self-hosted
environment, the agent's shell commands and file edits run in an E2B sandbox.
OpenAI supports two ways to provision that sandbox:

* **Application-managed**: your application calls the E2B SDK to start,
  connect, and stop the sandbox. The **Agents API Workbench** in the E2B
  cookbook is built this way.
* **Webhook-managed**: a controller deployed in your E2B account reacts to
  OpenAI webhooks and creates a dedicated worker sandbox for each session. Your
  application only talks to the Agents API and never imports the E2B SDK. The
  [E2B webhook-managed example](https://github.com/e2b-dev/e2b-cookbook/tree/main/examples/openai-agents-api-python-sdk-webhook-managed)
  is the E2B variant of the handler OpenAI ships.

Try the application-managed Agents API Workbench first. Create the sandbox and
connect to its terminal with the E2B CLI:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
e2b sandbox create openai-agents-api-python-sdk
```

When the workbench is ready, the terminal prints a single-use link to its UI.
Enter your OpenAI and E2B keys there and start a chat; each chat gets its own
Agents API session and its own worker sandbox. The rest of this page is the
quick start for the webhook-managed flow.

<Note>
  The Agents API is in preview. Your OpenAI project needs Agents API access, and
  the `agent_api_sdk` Python package installs from the
  [preview repository](https://github.com/OpenAI-Early-Access/agents-api-python-preview)
  rather than PyPI.

  Looking for the open-source agent framework instead? See
  [OpenAI Agents SDK](/agents/openai-agents-sdk).
</Note>

## Prerequisites

* an E2B API key
* an OpenAI project with Agents API access
* an OpenAI **application key** with **Responses → Write**, used to create sessions
* a restricted OpenAI **executor key** with only **List models → Read**, created in
  the same organization, project, and user or service account as the application key
* [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/); every script declares its dependencies inline

The executor key is the only credential that enters a worker sandbox, as
`CODEX_API_KEY`. Agent-generated code can read it, so keep the application key
out of workers entirely.

## Webhook-managed: set up the controller

Run everything from the webhook-managed example directory. `.env` is gitignored and
holds the five values below.

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
git clone https://github.com/e2b-dev/e2b-cookbook
cd e2b-cookbook/examples/openai-agents-api-python-sdk-webhook-managed
cp .env.example .env
```

| `.env` | Value |
| - | - |
| `OPENAI_API_KEY` | application key; creates sessions and reads their state |
| `OPENAI_EXECUTOR_API_KEY` | restricted executor key; the only key that enters a worker |
| `E2B_API_KEY` | creates the controller and worker sandboxes |
| `OPENAI_AGENT_ID` | printed by step 1 |
| `OPENAI_WEBHOOK_SECRET` | printed by OpenAI in step 4; stays valid across redeploys |

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create an agent: once, prints the agent ID">
    The controller only manages sessions of this one agent. Put the printed ID
    in `.env` as `OPENAI_AGENT_ID`.

    ```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
    uv run --env-file .env client.py --create-agent openai-agents-api-python-sdk-webhook-managed
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Build the worker template: once per Codex version, ~3 min">
    Workers boot from `openai-agents-api-python-sdk-webhook-managed` with
    `codex exec-server` baked in, so a session's first turn does not pay for an
    npm install. Rebuild only after bumping `CODEX_VERSION` in
    `build_template.py`.

    ```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
    uv run --env-file .env build_template.py
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start the controller: ~1 min, prints the webhook URL">
    Leave `OPENAI_WEBHOOK_SECRET` empty the first time.

    ```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
    uv run --env-file .env deploy.py
    # Webhook: https://8000-<controller-id>.e2b.app/webhook
    ```

    The controller ID is saved to the gitignored `.controller.json`. Rerunning
    `deploy.py` reuses that sandbox, extends its one-hour timeout, and restarts
    the handler with the current `.env`. If that sandbox is gone, it creates a
    new one and prints the new webhook URL.

    `uv run --env-file` does not override variables already exported in your
    shell. If `E2B_API_KEY` is exported there, that key wins over `.env`.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Register the webhook: OpenAI platform, paste the URL">
    In **Project settings → Webhooks** of the project that owns
    `OPENAI_API_KEY`, add the URL and subscribe to
    `agent.session.action_required` and `agent.session.failed`. Put the
    generated signing secret in `.env` and redeploy to the same controller:

    ```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
    uv run --env-file .env deploy.py
    ```

    A webhook in another project of the same organization is never delivered.
    E2B's own [sandbox lifecycle webhooks](/sandbox/lifecycle-events-webhooks)
    are unrelated to this step.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Health check: no side effects">
    ```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
    curl -sS https://8000-<controller-id>.e2b.app/health
    # {"ok":true}
    curl -sS -X POST https://8000-<controller-id>.e2b.app/webhook -d '{}'
    # {"error":"Invalid signature"}
    ```
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Webhook-managed: run a session

<Steps>
  <Step title="New session: one OpenAI session + one E2B worker, ~40 s">
    The first line printed is `{"session_id": "sess_..."}`. Keep it.

    ```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
    set -a; . ./.env; set +a
    uv run --env-file .env client.py --agent-id "$OPENAI_AGENT_ID" \
      --input "Write hello to /workspace/hello.txt, then read it."
    ```

    Behind the \~40 s: the client posts input, OpenAI sends
    `agent.session.action_required` to the controller, the controller creates
    the worker and launches `codex exec-server` inside it, the executor connects
    out to OpenAI, and the turn runs in `/workspace`.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Follow-up: same worker, starts immediately">
    `SESSION_ID` is the first line printed by the previous step.

    ```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
    uv run --env-file .env client.py --session-id "$SESSION_ID" \
      --input "Read /workspace/hello.txt again."
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Cleanup: no deletion webhook, release both sides">
    Deleting a session does not stop its sandbox.

    ```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
    uv run --env-file .env client.py --session-id "$SESSION_ID" --delete
    e2b sandbox list                 # workers carry metadata agents-session-id
    e2b sandbox kill <worker-id>     # including paused workers
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="New controller: ~1 min, prints a new webhook URL">
    After the controller's one-hour timeout expires, rerun the deploy. It sees
    the old sandbox is gone, starts a fresh one, and prints a new URL. Paste it
    into the existing OpenAI webhook. The signing secret does not change.

    ```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
    uv run --env-file .env deploy.py
    ```
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Lifecycle

Workers stay running between turns and have a 30-minute timeout, refreshed on
every reconnect. Pause a worker with `e2b sandbox pause <id>` and the next input
resumes it with files intact. A killed worker is replaced by a fresh sandbox
without the previous files.

When a session fails, the controller pauses its worker instead of killing it,
so you can inspect the sandbox afterwards. Kill it when done.

OpenAI traffic cannot wake a paused or expired controller. Rerun `deploy.py`
before the hour is up to extend it, or start a new controller as above. Remove
the OpenAI webhook before killing the controller for good.

## Application-managed: Agents API Workbench

If you want the agent's events in your own process, for a live UI or for
function tools, your application creates the worker and starts the executor
itself. The [Agents API Workbench](https://github.com/e2b-dev/e2b-cookbook/tree/main/examples/openai-agents-api-python-sdk)
behind the `openai-agents-api-python-sdk` template does exactly that: a Flask
backend that runs one executor sandbox per chat, and a React frontend with a
streaming transcript and a live `/workspace` file viewer.

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Every session fails after five minutes with 500 internal_error">
    The webhook points at a dead or wrong controller. Confirm the URL in OpenAI
    matches the controller printed by the last `deploy.py`, that it is
    registered in the project that owns the application key, and that
    `OPENAI_AGENT_ID` matches the agent the session was created for.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="The webhook returns 503 Webhook not configured">
    `OPENAI_WEBHOOK_SECRET` is empty in the controller. Put the signing secret
    in `.env` and run `deploy.py` again.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="The agent says shell access is unavailable">
    Input within about three minutes of killing or pausing a worker arrives
    before OpenAI notices the executor is offline, so no reconnect webhook
    fires and the turn runs without a shell. The session may keep declining to
    use the shell afterwards. Wait, or start a new session.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Inspect the controller and workers">
    The controller writes JSON lines for `enqueued`, `started`, and `paused` to
    `/app/controller.log`. Each worker writes the executor output to
    `/tmp/codex-executor.log`. Find them by metadata:
    `agents-webhook-controller=e2b` for the controller and
    `agents-session-id=<session>` for workers.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>


# OpenAI Agents SDK
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/agents/openai-agents-sdk

Use E2B sandboxes with the OpenAI Agents SDK.

The [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://github.com/openai/openai-agents-python) is a framework for building agentic workflows. E2B provides a native integration that lets you run `SandboxAgent` instances inside isolated E2B sandboxes — giving your agents full filesystem, terminal, and network access in a secure environment.

To use E2B as the sandbox backend:

1. Create a sandbox session with `E2BSandboxClient`.
2. Build a `SandboxAgent` with your instructions and model.
3. Run the agent and pass the sandbox session through `RunConfig`.

## Install the dependencies

Install the [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://pypi.org/project/openai-agents/) with the E2B extra to pull in the sandbox integration.

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
pip install openai-agents[e2b]
```

You will also need API keys for OpenAI and E2B.

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
export OPENAI_API_KEY="..."
export E2B_API_KEY="..."
```

## Basic example

Create an `E2BSandboxClient`, start a session, and run a `SandboxAgent` inside it. The agent gets full access to the sandbox environment — it can run commands, read and write files, and inspect the workspace.

### Create a session

Initialize the `E2BSandboxClient` and create a sandbox session. The `pause_on_exit` option keeps the sandbox available after the script finishes so you can inspect its state.

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
from agents.extensions.sandbox import (
    E2BSandboxClient,
    E2BSandboxClientOptions,
    E2BSandboxType,
)

client = E2BSandboxClient()
session = await client.create(
    options=E2BSandboxClientOptions(
        sandbox_type=E2BSandboxType.E2B,
        timeout=900,
        pause_on_exit=True,
    )
)
```

### Build and run the agent

Define a `SandboxAgent` with a name, model, and instructions, then run it against the sandbox session using `Runner.run`. The result contains the agent's final output.

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
from agents import ModelSettings, Runner
from agents.run import RunConfig
from agents.sandbox import SandboxAgent, SandboxRunConfig

agent = SandboxAgent(
    name="Workspace Inspector",
    model="gpt-5.4",
    instructions=(
        "Inspect the workspace, explain what files exist, and summarize the project."
    ),
    model_settings=ModelSettings(tool_choice="required"),
)

result = await Runner.run(
    agent,
    "Look around the workspace and summarize what you find.",
    run_config=RunConfig(sandbox=SandboxRunConfig(session=session)),
)
print(result.final_output)
```

### Shut down

Always shut down the session when you're done to release sandbox resources.

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
await session.shutdown()
```

import asyncio

from agents import ModelSettings, Runner
from agents.run import RunConfig
from agents.sandbox import SandboxAgent, SandboxRunConfig
from agents.extensions.sandbox import (
    E2BSandboxClient,
    E2BSandboxClientOptions,
    E2BSandboxType,
)


async def main() -> None:
    client = E2BSandboxClient()
    session = await client.create(
        options=E2BSandboxClientOptions(
            sandbox_type=E2BSandboxType.E2B,
            timeout=900,
            pause_on_exit=True,
        )
    )

    try:
        agent = SandboxAgent(
            name="Workspace Inspector",
            model="gpt-5.4",
            instructions=(
                "Inspect the workspace, explain what files exist, and summarize the project."
            ),
            model_settings=ModelSettings(tool_choice="required"),
        )

        result = await Runner.run(
            agent,
            "Look around the workspace and summarize what you find.",
            run_config=RunConfig(sandbox=SandboxRunConfig(session=session)),
        )
        print(result.final_output)
    finally:
        await session.shutdown()


asyncio.run(main())

## Build an app with multiple versions

A common pattern is to start from the same starter app and create multiple versions in separate sandboxes — useful when comparing a first pass with a polished revision, or generating live preview URLs for each version.

Based on the [`homepage_vite_basic_updated.ipynb`](https://github.com/openai/openai-agents-python/blob/main/examples/sandbox/e2b_demos/homepage_vite_basic_updated.ipynb) notebook from the Agents SDK repo.

### Define a manifest

A `Manifest` describes the starter files your agent will work with. Each entry is a `File` with its content encoded as bytes. This lets you seed multiple sandboxes from the same baseline — useful when comparing different versions of an app.

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
from agents.sandbox import Manifest
from agents.sandbox.entries import File

def build_manifest() -> Manifest:
    return Manifest(
        entries={
            "package.json": File(content=PACKAGE_JSON.encode()),
            "index.html": File(content=INDEX_HTML.encode()),
            "vite.config.js": File(content=VITE_CONFIG_JS.encode()),
            "src/main.tsx": File(content=MAIN_TSX.encode()),
            "src/App.tsx": File(content=APP_TSX.encode()),
        }
    )
```

### Create a sandbox session

Create a sandbox session with the manifest, exposed ports for live previews, and internet access so the agent can install npm packages.

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
from agents.extensions.sandbox import (
    E2BSandboxClient,
    E2BSandboxClientOptions,
    E2BSandboxType,
)

session = await E2BSandboxClient().create(
    manifest=build_manifest(),
    options=E2BSandboxClientOptions(
        sandbox_type=E2BSandboxType.E2B,
        timeout=1800,
        exposed_ports=(4173,),
        allow_internet_access=True,
        pause_on_exit=True,
    ),
)
await session.start()
```

### Run the agent

Build a `SandboxAgent` with capabilities like `ApplyPatch` and `Shell`, then run it against the sandbox session.

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
from agents import ModelSettings, Runner
from agents.run import RunConfig
from agents.sandbox import SandboxAgent, SandboxRunConfig
from agents.sandbox.capabilities import ApplyPatch, Shell

agent = SandboxAgent(
    name="E2B Vite Builder",
    model="gpt-5.4-mini",
    instructions="Update the Vite app in the sandbox workspace and return a concise summary.",
    default_manifest=build_manifest(),
    capabilities=[ApplyPatch(), Shell()],
    model_settings=ModelSettings(tool_choice="required"),
)

result = await Runner.run(
    agent,
    "Make the basic version now.",
    run_config=RunConfig(sandbox=SandboxRunConfig(session=session)),
)
```

### Start a preview server

After the agent finishes, install dependencies, start the Vite dev server, and resolve the exposed port to get a live preview URL.

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
await session.exec(
    "sh", "-lc",
    (
        "npm install >/tmp/e2b-demo-npm-install.log 2>&1 && "
        "nohup npm run dev -- --host 0.0.0.0 --port 4173 "
        ">/tmp/e2b-demo-vite.log 2>&1 &"
    ),
    shell=False,
    timeout=120,
)
preview_url = (await session.resolve_exposed_port(4173)).url_for("http")
```

### Full example

The complete `run_version()` helper ties all the steps above together. Call it once per version to get isolated sandboxes with their own preview URLs. Based on the [`homepage_vite_basic_updated.ipynb`](https://github.com/openai/openai-agents-python/blob/main/examples/sandbox/e2b_demos/homepage_vite_basic_updated.ipynb) notebook from the Agents SDK repo.

            "Start from the tiny Vite starter. You may create src/styles.css if you want."
        ),
        default_manifest=build_manifest(),
        capabilities=[ApplyPatch(), Shell()],
        model_settings=ModelSettings(tool_choice="required"),
    )

    result = await Runner.run(
        agent,
        f"Make the {version_name} version now.",
        run_config=RunConfig(sandbox=SandboxRunConfig(session=session)),
    )

    await session.exec(

## MCP-powered research agents

You can create sandboxes with [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) servers enabled, then connect the Agents SDK to the sandbox's MCP gateway. This gives you an agent that can discover sources with search-oriented MCP servers, verify pages in a browser, and keep all of that execution inside the sandbox.

The Agents SDK repo includes a concrete example in [`deep_research_mcp.py`](https://github.com/openai/openai-agents-python/blob/main/examples/sandbox/e2b_demos/deep_research_mcp.py).

### Configure MCP servers

Pass MCP server configurations when creating the sandbox session. This example enables [Browserbase](https://www.browserbase.com/) for browser automation and [Exa](https://exa.ai/) for search.

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
session = await client.create(
    options=E2BSandboxClientOptions(
        sandbox_type=E2BSandboxType.E2B,
        timeout=900,
        pause_on_exit=True,
        mcp={
            "browserbase": {
                "apiKey": os.environ["BROWSERBASE_API_KEY"],
                "geminiApiKey": os.environ["GEMINI_API_KEY"],
                "projectId": os.environ["BROWSERBASE_PROJECT_ID"],
            },
            "exa": {
                "apiKey": os.environ["EXA_API_KEY"],
            },
        },
    ),
)
```

### Connect to the MCP gateway

Use `MCPServerStreamableHttp` to connect to the sandbox's MCP gateway. This gives the agent access to all the MCP servers you configured above.

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
from agents.mcp import MCPServerStreamableHttp

async with MCPServerStreamableHttp(
    name="E2B MCP Gateway",
    params={
        "url": mcp_url,
        "headers": {"Authorization": f"Bearer {mcp_token}"},
        "timeout": 30,
        "sse_read_timeout": 300,
    },
) as server:
    ...
```

### Run the agent

Pass the MCP server to the `SandboxAgent` via `mcp_servers`. The agent can now discover and call tools from all configured MCP servers.

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
from agents import ModelSettings, Runner
from agents.run import RunConfig
from agents.sandbox import SandboxAgent, SandboxRunConfig

agent = SandboxAgent(
    name="Deep Research Assistant",
    model="gpt-5.4",
    instructions=(
        "Use Exa to discover strong sources and Browserbase to verify important claims."
    ),
    mcp_servers=[server],
    model_settings=ModelSettings(tool_choice="required"),
)

result = await Runner.run(
    agent,
    "Research browser automation infrastructure for AI agents.",
    run_config=RunConfig(sandbox=SandboxRunConfig(session=session)),
)
```

### Full example

```python expandable theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
from agents import ModelSettings, Runner
from agents.mcp import MCPServerStreamableHttp
from agents.run import RunConfig
from agents.sandbox import SandboxAgent, SandboxRunConfig

session = await client.create(
    options=E2BSandboxClientOptions(
        sandbox_type=E2BSandboxType.E2B,
        timeout=900,
        pause_on_exit=True,
        mcp={
            "browserbase": {
                "apiKey": os.environ["BROWSERBASE_API_KEY"],
                "geminiApiKey": os.environ["GEMINI_API_KEY"],
                "projectId": os.environ["BROWSERBASE_PROJECT_ID"],
            },
            "exa": {
                "apiKey": os.environ["EXA_API_KEY"],
            },
        },
    ),
)

async with MCPServerStreamableHttp(
    name="E2B MCP Gateway",
    params={
        "url": mcp_url,
        "headers": {"Authorization": f"Bearer {mcp_token}"},
        "timeout": 30,
        "sse_read_timeout": 300,
    },
) as server:
    agent = SandboxAgent(
        name="Deep Research Assistant",
        model="gpt-5.4",
        instructions=(
            "Use Exa to discover strong sources and Browserbase to verify important claims."
        ),
        mcp_servers=[server],
        model_settings=ModelSettings(tool_choice="required"),
    )

    result = await Runner.run(
        agent,
        "Research browser automation infrastructure for AI agents.",
        run_config=RunConfig(sandbox=SandboxRunConfig(session=session)),
    )
```

## Parallel sandbox workers

Use one coordinator agent to launch multiple specialized review or analysis lanes across separate sandboxes. Each lane runs in its own isolated environment, and the coordinator synthesizes the results into a single summary.

The Agents SDK repo includes a concrete example in [`fullstack_code_review_parallel.py`](https://github.com/openai/openai-agents-python/blob/main/examples/sandbox/e2b_demos/fullstack_code_review_parallel.py). That example uses separate E2B-backed lanes for frontend review, backend review, and git tree review.

### Define the agents

Create specialized `SandboxAgent` instances for each review lane, plus a regular `Agent` as the coordinator that will synthesize the results.

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
from agents import Agent
from agents.sandbox import SandboxAgent

frontend_agent = SandboxAgent(
    name="Frontend Reviewer",
    model="gpt-5.4",
    instructions="Review the rendered frontend and identify UX and code risks.",
)

backend_agent = SandboxAgent(
    name="Backend Reviewer",
    model="gpt-5.4",
    instructions="Review the API implementation and identify validation and auth risks.",
)

coordinator = Agent(
    name="Review Coordinator",
    model="gpt-5.4",
    instructions=(
        "Run the available review lanes, compare their evidence, and produce a single summary."
    ),
)
```

### Run the lanes

Run each review agent against its own sandbox session. The lanes are independent and can run concurrently.

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
from agents import Runner
from agents.run import RunConfig
from agents.sandbox import SandboxRunConfig

frontend_result = await Runner.run(
    frontend_agent,
    "Review the frontend workspace.",
    run_config=RunConfig(sandbox=SandboxRunConfig(session=frontend_session)),
)

backend_result = await Runner.run(
    backend_agent,
    "Review the backend workspace.",
    run_config=RunConfig(sandbox=SandboxRunConfig(session=backend_session)),
)
```

### Synthesize the results

Feed the findings from each lane into the coordinator agent to produce a single summary.

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
final_result = await Runner.run(
    coordinator,
    f"Frontend findings: {frontend_result.final_output}\n\n"
    f"Backend findings: {backend_result.final_output}",
)
```

### Full example

```python expandable theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}

from agents.sandbox import SandboxAgent, SandboxRunConfig

frontend_agent = SandboxAgent(
    name="Frontend Reviewer",
    model="gpt-5.4",
    instructions="Review the rendered frontend and identify UX and code risks.",
)

backend_agent = SandboxAgent(
    name="Backend Reviewer",
    model="gpt-5.4",
    instructions="Review the API implementation and identify validation and auth risks.",
)

coordinator = Agent(
    name="Review Coordinator",
    model="gpt-5.4",
    instructions=(
        "Run the available review lanes, compare their evidence, and produce a single summary."
    ),
)

frontend_result = await Runner.run(
    frontend_agent,
    "Review the frontend workspace.",
    run_config=RunConfig(sandbox=SandboxRunConfig(session=frontend_session)),
)

backend_result = await Runner.run(
    backend_agent,
    "Review the backend workspace.",
    run_config=RunConfig(sandbox=SandboxRunConfig(session=backend_session)),
)

final_result = await Runner.run(
    coordinator,
    f"Frontend findings: {frontend_result.final_output}\n\n"
    f"Backend findings: {backend_result.final_output}",
)

# Use OpenAI computer-use helpers with E2B Desktop
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/agents/openai-computer-use

Run OpenAI's computer-use helpers against a private E2B desktop sandbox you can watch live.

The OpenAI SDKs ship computer-use helpers: `ComputerToolset` runs the [computer tool](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/guides/tools-computer-use) loop on the Responses API, and you supply a driver that executes each action the model asks for. E2B Desktop is that driver's target: a private Ubuntu desktop in the cloud, isolated from your machine, that you can watch live while the model clicks and types.

OpenAI documents two ways to connect a model to a screen, and both run on E2B Desktop:

* **Code execution**, which OpenAI recommends for `gpt-6-astra`: the model writes PyAutoGUI or Playwright code, and the desktop runs it. See [Use code execution](#use-code-execution).
* **The computer tool**: the model returns structured clicks and keystrokes, and your driver performs them. See [Run an agent on a desktop](#run-an-agent-on-a-desktop).

The E2B cookbook has runnable examples of both, including Excel to OrangeHRM, in [Python](https://github.com/e2b-dev/e2b-cookbook/tree/main/examples/openai-computer-use-python) and [TypeScript](https://github.com/e2b-dev/e2b-cookbook/tree/main/examples/openai-computer-use-js).

## How it works

1. **Create a desktop.** `Sandbox.create()` from E2B Desktop starts an XFCE desktop with LibreOffice, a file manager and other common apps.
2. **Write a driver.** One method per computer action (`click`, `type`, `scroll`, and so on) plus `screenshot`, each mapped to an E2B Desktop call.
3. **Run the toolset.** `ComputerToolset(driver).run(client, params)` calls the Responses API, dispatches every action to your driver, sends back a screenshot, and repeats until the model answers.
4. **Kill the desktop.** The helper never creates or closes the environment. You own it.

## Install

The helpers need `openai` 3.31.0 or newer in Python and 7.33.0 or newer in Node.

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  npm i openai @e2b/desktop
  ```

  ```bash Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  pip install openai e2b-desktop
  ```
</CodeGroup>

Set `E2B_API_KEY` ([get one](https://e2b.dev/dashboard?tab=keys)) and `OPENAI_API_KEY` in your environment. Your OpenAI project needs access to a model that supports the `computer` tool.

## Run an agent on a desktop

This script seeds two order notes on a fresh desktop, opens their folder, and asks the model for the order number of the priority one. It prints a live view URL first, so you can watch the run.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript expandable theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from '@e2b/desktop'
  import OpenAI, { ComputerToolset, type ComputerDriver } from 'openai'

  const MODEL = 'gpt-6-luna'
  // OpenAI key names that e2b-desktop does not map on its own
  const KEYS: Record<string, string> = {
    ARROWUP: 'up', ARROWDOWN: 'down', ARROWLEFT: 'left', ARROWRIGHT: 'right',
    PAGEUP: 'page_up', PAGEDOWN: 'page_down',
  }

  function noHeldKeys(keys?: string[] | null) {
    if (keys?.length) throw new Error('Holding keys during mouse actions is not supported')
  }

  // Runs each action the model asks for on an E2B desktop.
  function e2bDesktopDriver(desktop: Sandbox): ComputerDriver {
    return {
      async screenshot() {
        const png = await desktop.screenshot()
        return {
          type: 'computer_screenshot',
          image_url: `data:image/png;base64,${Buffer.from(png).toString('base64')}`,
        }
      },
      async click({ button, x, y, keys }) {
        noHeldKeys(keys)
        if (button === 'left') await desktop.leftClick(x, y)
        else if (button === 'right') await desktop.rightClick(x, y)
        else if (button === 'wheel') await desktop.middleClick(x, y)
        else throw new Error(`Unsupported button: ${button}`)
      },
      async double_click({ x, y, keys }) {
        noHeldKeys(keys)
        await desktop.doubleClick(x, y)
      },
      async drag({ path: [start, ...rest], keys }) {
        noHeldKeys(keys)
        await desktop.moveMouse(start.x, start.y)
        await desktop.mousePress()
        for (const point of rest) await desktop.moveMouse(point.x, point.y)
        await desktop.mouseRelease()
      },
      async move({ x, y }) {
        await desktop.moveMouse(x, y)
      },
      async scroll({ x, y, scroll_x, scroll_y, keys }) {
        noHeldKeys(keys)
        if (scroll_x) throw new Error('Horizontal scroll is not supported')
        await desktop.moveMouse(x, y)
        // The model sends pixels; one wheel step scrolls about 100
        const steps = Math.max(1, Math.floor(Math.abs(scroll_y) / 100))
        await desktop.scroll(scroll_y > 0 ? 'down' : 'up', steps)

  ```
</CodeGroup>

Run it with `python agent.py`, or `npx tsx agent.ts` in an ES module project. A run takes a few model turns and ends with `Answer: PO-7731`.

For a full run, see the Excel to OrangeHRM example in the E2B cookbook, in [Python](https://github.com/e2b-dev/e2b-cookbook/tree/main/examples/openai-computer-use-python) and [TypeScript](https://github.com/e2b-dev/e2b-cookbook/tree/main/examples/openai-computer-use-js): `gpt-6-luna` reads new hires from a spreadsheet in LibreOffice Calc, enters each one into the OrangeHRM web app in Chrome, and writes the assigned Employee Ids back into the spreadsheet. It is the same task as the [Claude toolsets](/agents/claude-toolsets) example, driven by the computer tool alone.

The driver covers every action the computer tool can send. It refuses what E2B Desktop has no direct call for, such as clicks with held modifier keys and horizontal scrolling: a driver must raise instead of silently skipping an action, and the helper stops the run.

<Note>
  The examples use `gpt-6-luna`. In our runs of multi-step LibreOffice Calc and web app tasks on E2B Desktop, it finished about twice as fast as Claude Haiku 5.5 at about a tenth of the cost, mostly because OpenAI caches the repeated screenshot history automatically.
</Note>

## Use code execution

With code execution, the model gets one function tool instead of the computer tool: `exec_py` for Python with [PyAutoGUI](https://pyautogui.readthedocs.io), or `exec_js` for JavaScript with [Playwright](https://playwright.dev). One call can batch several actions, read text from the screen or the page, and check its own result before the model looks again. Your application runs the code and returns its text and screenshots.

E2B Desktop is where that code runs. It executes inside the sandbox, never on your machine, and the desktop stays up between calls, so windows, variables and logins carry over. The E2B side has three parts:

1. **A template with the library.** Build it once per E2B team on top of the stock `desktop` template:

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript (exec_js) theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Template, defaultBuildLogger } from 'e2b'

  const template = Template()
    .fromTemplate('desktop')
    .setUser('root')
    .runCmd(['curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_22.x | bash -', 'apt-get install -y nodejs'])
    .setUser('user')
    .setWorkdir('/home/user')
    // The runtime launches Playwright's own Chromium, as OpenAI's sample app does
    .runCmd('mkdir -p /home/user/.exec_js && cd /home/user/.exec_js && npm install playwright@1.64.0 && npx playwright install chromium')
    .setUser('root')
    .runCmd('cd /home/user/.exec_js && npx playwright install-deps chromium')
    .setUser('user')

  await Template.build(template, 'openai-computer-use-exec-js', {
    cpuCount: 8,
    memoryMB: 8192,
    onBuildLogs: defaultBuildLogger(),
  })
  ```

  ```python Python (exec_py) theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Template, default_build_logger

  # python-xlib replaces the python3-Xlib fork PyAutoGUI asks for: the desktop's
  # X server listens only on an abstract socket, which python3-Xlib cannot reach.
  PACKAGES = [
      "pyautogui==0.9.54", "mouseinfo==0.1.3", "pygetwindow==0.0.9", "pymsgbox==2.0.1",
      "pyperclip==1.11.0", "pyrect==0.2.0", "pyscreeze==1.0.1", "pytweening==1.2.0",
      "python-xlib==0.33", "six==1.17.0", "pillow==11.3.0",
  ]

  template = (
      Template()
      .from_template("desktop")
      .set_user("root")
      .apt_install(["python3-tk"])  # importing PyAutoGUI exits without tkinter
      .run_cmd("pip install --no-deps " + " ".join(PACKAGES))
      .set_user("user")
      .set_workdir("/home/user")
  )

  Template.build(template, "openai-computer-use-exec-py", cpu_count=8, memory_mb=8192,
                 on_build_logs=default_build_logger())
  ```
</CodeGroup>

2. **A persistent runtime inside the desktop.** A small process you start in the background keeps one Python namespace (or one Chromium that Playwright launches, visible on the desktop) for the whole run. It gives the code `log` or `console.log` for text and `display` for screenshots, and answers each call with the `input_text` and `input_image` items the Responses API takes as a `function_call_output`. Write each call to a file in the sandbox, and have the runtime run that file when `curl` posts to its Unix socket through `commands.run`, so nothing listens outside the sandbox.
3. **OpenAI's loop.** The `exec_py` or `exec_js` tool definition and the Responses loop from [OpenAI's guide](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/guides/tools-computer-use#use-code-execution), with each `function_call` sent to the runtime and its output returned unchanged.

The E2B cookbook has both as a hello world, next to the computer-tool examples and with the same order-number task as above. In [Python](https://github.com/e2b-dev/e2b-cookbook/tree/main/examples/openai-computer-use-python), `gpt-6-astra` opens the file in the file manager with PyAutoGUI. In [TypeScript](https://github.com/e2b-dev/e2b-cookbook/tree/main/examples/openai-computer-use-js), it opens the same folder in Chromium with Playwright. The runtimes are adapted from [OpenAI's CUA sample app](https://github.com/openai/openai-cua-sample-app), which runs the generated code on your own computer; on E2B it runs in a throwaway desktop whose internet access you can limit to the hosts you allow.

<Note>
  PyAutoGUI drives the whole desktop by screen coordinates, so it works with any app. Playwright drives only the browser, but it can read page text and click elements by role, so it needs fewer screenshots. The TypeScript runtime also gives the code a `desktop` object (screenshot, click, type, key and more, through xdotool) for apps outside the browser, which the TypeScript Excel to OrangeHRM example uses for LibreOffice Calc.
</Note>

## Watch live

`stream.start()` serves the desktop over noVNC. With `require_auth=True` (`requireAuth: true`) the URL carries a generated password, and `view_only` keeps viewers from moving the mouse under the model. Anyone with the URL can watch until the desktop is killed, so do not share it.

## Approve actions

`before_action` (`beforeAction`) runs before every action, including the final screenshot, and must return exactly `True` to let it through. The example approves everything and logs the action type; this is where an application checks or asks a person before consequential clicks and keystrokes.

Calls that carry pending safety checks stop the run unless you also pass `approve_safety_checks` (`approveSafetyChecks`) and return `True`.

## Sandbox ownership

* **Cleanup:** the helper never kills the desktop. Call `kill()` in `finally` so a failed or cancelled run does not leave it running until its timeout.
* **Timeout:** `timeout=300` (`timeoutMs: 300_000`) is a backstop. Keep it longer than a run of `max_steps` model turns can take.
* **Cancellation:** pass `cancelled` (Python) or `signal` (Node) to stop between model calls and actions.
* **Egress:** the desktop has internet access by default. Restrict it with [`allow_internet_access` or `network.allow_out`](/network/internet-access) when the task does not need the open web.

# Deploy OpenClaw
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/agents/openclaw/openclaw-gateway

Start the OpenClaw gateway in an E2B sandbox and connect your browser.

## Quick start

This launches your OpenClaw [gateway](https://docs.openclaw.ai/gateway) site (web UI for chatting with agents).

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const TOKEN = process.env.OPENCLAW_APP_TOKEN || 'my-gateway-token'
  const PORT = 18789

  // 1. Create sandbox
  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create('openclaw', {
    envs: { OPENAI_API_KEY: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY },
    timeoutMs: 3600_000,
  })

  // 2. Set the default model
  await sandbox.commands.run('openclaw config set agents.defaults.model.primary openai/gpt-5.2')

  // 3. Set insecure control UI flags and start the gateway with token auth
  await sandbox.commands.run(
    `bash -lc 'openclaw config set gateway.controlUi.allowInsecureAuth true && ` +
      `openclaw config set gateway.controlUi.dangerouslyDisableDeviceAuth true && ` +
      `openclaw gateway --allow-unconfigured --bind lan --auth token --token ${TOKEN} --port ${PORT}'`,
    { background: true }
  )

  // 4. Wait for the gateway to start listening
  for (let i = 0; i < 45; i++) {
    const probe = await sandbox.commands.run(
      `bash -lc 'ss -ltn | grep -q ":${PORT} " && echo ready || echo waiting'`
    )
    if (probe.stdout.trim() === 'ready') break
    await new Promise((r) => setTimeout(r, 1000))
  }

  const url = `https://${sandbox.getHost(PORT)}/?token=${TOKEN}`
  console.log(`Gateway: ${url}`)
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import os, time
  from e2b import Sandbox

  TOKEN = os.environ.get("OPENCLAW_APP_TOKEN", "my-gateway-token")
  PORT = 18789

  # 1. Create sandbox
  sandbox = Sandbox.create("openclaw", envs={
      "OPENAI_API_KEY": os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"],
  }, timeout=3600)

  # 2. Set the default model
  sandbox.commands.run("openclaw config set agents.defaults.model.primary openai/gpt-5.2")

  # 3. Set insecure control UI flags and start the gateway with token auth
  sandbox.commands.run(
      f"bash -lc 'openclaw config set gateway.controlUi.allowInsecureAuth true && "
      f"openclaw config set gateway.controlUi.dangerouslyDisableDeviceAuth true && "
      f"openclaw gateway --allow-unconfigured --bind lan --auth token --token {TOKEN} --port {PORT}'",
      background=True,
  )

  # 4. Wait for the gateway to start listening
  for _ in range(45):
      probe = sandbox.commands.run(
          f'bash -lc \'ss -ltn | grep -q ":{PORT} " && echo ready || echo waiting\''
      )
      if probe.stdout.strip() == "ready":
          break
      time.sleep(1)

  url = f"https://{sandbox.get_host(PORT)}/?token={TOKEN}"
  print(f"Gateway: {url}")
  ```
</CodeGroup>

Visit the printed `Gateway` URL in your browser.

If you run in secure mode (set `gateway.controlUi.dangerouslyDisableDeviceAuth false`), run this after opening the URL to poll pending pairing requests and approve the first one.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  // 5. Poll for the browser's pending device request and approve it
  for (let i = 0; i < 30; i++) {
    try {
      const res = await sandbox.commands.run(
        `openclaw devices list --json --url ws://127.0.0.1:${PORT} --token ${TOKEN}`
      )
      const data = JSON.parse(res.stdout)
      if (data.pending?.length) {
        const rid = data.pending[0].requestId
        await sandbox.commands.run(
          `openclaw devices approve ${rid} --token ${TOKEN} --url ws://127.0.0.1:${PORT}`
        )
        console.log(`Device approved: ${rid}`)
        break
      }
    } catch {}
    await new Promise((r) => setTimeout(r, 2000))
  }
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import json

  # 5. Poll for the browser's pending device request and approve it
  for _ in range(30):
      try:
          res = sandbox.commands.run(
              f"openclaw devices list --json --url ws://127.0.0.1:{PORT} --token {TOKEN}"
          )
          data = json.loads(res.stdout)
          if data.get("pending"):
              rid = data["pending"][0]["requestId"]
              sandbox.commands.run(
                  f"openclaw devices approve {rid} --token {TOKEN} --url ws://127.0.0.1:{PORT}"
              )
              print(f"Device approved: {rid}")
              break
      except Exception:
          pass
      time.sleep(2)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

Once approved, the browser connects and the gateway UI loads.

## How it works

| Step | What happens |
| - | - |
| `--bind lan` | Gateway listens on `0.0.0.0` so E2B can proxy it |
| `--auth token` | Requires `?token=` on the URL for HTTP and WebSocket auth |
| Browser opens URL | Gateway serves the UI, browser opens a WebSocket |
| `code=1008 pairing required` | Gateway closes the WebSocket until the device is approved (secure mode only) |
| `devices approve` | Approves the browser's device fingerprint (secure mode only) |
| Browser reconnects | WebSocket connects successfully, UI is live |

## Gateway flags reference

| Flag | Purpose |
| - | - |
| `--allow-unconfigured` | Start without a full config file |
| `--bind lan` | Bind to `0.0.0.0` (required for E2B port proxying) |
| `--auth token` | Enable token-based authentication |
| `--token <value>` | The auth token (passed as `?token=` in the URL) |
| `--port <number>` | Gateway listen port (default: `18789`) |

## How to restart the gateway

Use this when the gateway is already running and you want a clean restart (for example, after changing model or env settings).

<Info>
  We can't use the `openclaw gateway restart` command here. Some SDK environments cannot target a specific Unix user in `commands.run`. The commands below use the default command user context.
</Info>

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  const TOKEN = process.env.OPENCLAW_APP_TOKEN || 'my-gateway-token'
  const PORT = 18789

  // 1) Kill existing gateway processes if present
  await sandbox.commands.run(
    `bash -lc 'for p in "[o]penclaw gateway" "[o]penclaw-gateway"; do for pid in $(pgrep -f "$p" || true); do kill "$pid" >/dev/null 2>&1 || true; done; done'`
  )
  await new Promise((r) => setTimeout(r, 1000))

  // 2) Start gateway again
  await sandbox.commands.run(
    `openclaw gateway --allow-unconfigured --bind lan --auth token --token ${TOKEN} --port ${PORT}`,
    { background: true }
  )

  // 3) Wait for listening socket
  for (let i = 0; i < 45; i++) {
    const probe = await sandbox.commands.run(
      `bash -lc 'ss -ltn | grep -q ":${PORT} " && echo ready || echo waiting'`
    )
    if (probe.stdout.trim() === 'ready') break
    await new Promise((r) => setTimeout(r, 1000))
  }
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import os, time

  TOKEN = os.environ.get("OPENCLAW_APP_TOKEN", "my-gateway-token")
  PORT = 18789

  # 1) Kill existing gateway processes if present
  sandbox.commands.run(
      """bash -lc 'for p in "[o]penclaw gateway" "[o]penclaw-gateway"; do
  for pid in $(pgrep -f "$p" || true); do
    kill "$pid" >/dev/null 2>&1 || true
  done
  done'"""
  )
  time.sleep(1)

  # 2) Start gateway again
  sandbox.commands.run(
      f"openclaw gateway --allow-unconfigured --bind lan --auth token --token {TOKEN} --port {PORT}",
      background=True,
  )

  # 3) Wait for listening socket
  for _ in range(45):
      probe = sandbox.commands.run(
          f'bash -lc \'ss -ltn | grep -q ":{PORT} " && echo ready || echo waiting\''
      )
      if probe.stdout.strip() == "ready":
          break
      time.sleep(1)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Turn insecure flags off (recommended after testing)

Use this to restore secure device authentication after initial testing.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  const TOKEN = process.env.OPENCLAW_APP_TOKEN || 'my-gateway-token'
  const PORT = 18789

  await sandbox.commands.run(
    `bash -lc 'openclaw config set gateway.controlUi.allowInsecureAuth false && ` +
      `openclaw config set gateway.controlUi.dangerouslyDisableDeviceAuth false'`
  )

  await sandbox.commands.run(
    `bash -lc 'for p in "[o]penclaw gateway" "[o]penclaw-gateway"; do for pid in $(pgrep -f "$p" || true); do kill "$pid" >/dev/null 2>&1 || true; done; done'`
  )

  await sandbox.commands.run(
    `openclaw gateway --allow-unconfigured --bind lan --auth token --token ${TOKEN} --port ${PORT}`,
    { background: true }

# OpenClaw Telegram
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/agents/openclaw/openclaw-telegram

Connect OpenClaw to Telegram in an E2B sandbox, approve pairing, and chat through your bot.

OpenClaw supports Telegram as a chat channel. In E2B you can run OpenClaw in a sandbox, attach your bot token, and approve user pairing from the terminal.

This guide covers the working flow we used:

1. Start OpenClaw in a sandbox.
2. Enable the Telegram plugin.
3. Add Telegram channel credentials.
4. Start the channel runtime in background.
5. Approve Telegram pairing.

## Prerequisites

* A Telegram bot token from [@BotFather](https://t.me/BotFather). There's instructions to follow there, it runs /newbot for you and walks you through naming and creating your bot.
* An OpenAI API key for the OpenClaw model.
* E2B API key configured locally.

## Quick start

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const GATEWAY_PORT = 18789
  const GATEWAY_TOKEN = process.env.OPENCLAW_APP_TOKEN || 'my-openclaw-token'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create('openclaw', {
    envs: {
      OPENAI_API_KEY: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY,
      TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN: process.env.TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN,
    },
    timeoutMs: 3600_000,
  })

  await sandbox.commands.run('openclaw config set agents.defaults.model.primary openai/gpt-5.2')

  // Enable the Telegram plugin (required before adding the channel)
  await sandbox.commands.run('openclaw config set plugins.entries.telegram.enabled true')
  await sandbox.commands.run('openclaw channels add --channel telegram --token "$TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN"')

  await sandbox.commands.run(
    `bash -lc 'openclaw config set gateway.controlUi.allowInsecureAuth true && ` +
      `openclaw config set gateway.controlUi.dangerouslyDisableDeviceAuth true && ` +
      `openclaw gateway --allow-unconfigured --bind lan --auth token --token ${GATEWAY_TOKEN} --port ${GATEWAY_PORT}'`,
    { background: true }
  )

  for (let i = 0; i < 45; i++) {
    const probe = await sandbox.commands.run(
      `bash -lc 'ss -ltn | grep -q ":${GATEWAY_PORT} " && echo ready || echo waiting'`
    )
    if (probe.stdout.trim() === 'ready') break
    await new Promise((r) => setTimeout(r, 1000))
  }
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import os
  import time
  from e2b import Sandbox

  GATEWAY_PORT = 18789
  GATEWAY_TOKEN = os.environ.get("OPENCLAW_APP_TOKEN", "my-openclaw-token")

  sandbox = Sandbox.create("openclaw", envs={
      "OPENAI_API_KEY": os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"],
      "TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN": os.environ["TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN"],
  }, timeout=3600)

  sandbox.commands.run("openclaw config set agents.defaults.model.primary openai/gpt-5.2")

  # Enable the Telegram plugin (required before adding the channel)
  sandbox.commands.run("openclaw config set plugins.entries.telegram.enabled true")
  sandbox.commands.run('openclaw channels add --channel telegram --token "$TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN"')

  sandbox.commands.run(
      f"bash -lc 'openclaw config set gateway.controlUi.allowInsecureAuth true && "
      f"openclaw config set gateway.controlUi.dangerouslyDisableDeviceAuth true && "
      f"openclaw gateway --allow-unconfigured --bind lan --auth token --token {GATEWAY_TOKEN} --port {GATEWAY_PORT}'",
      background=True,
  )

  for _ in range(45):
      probe = sandbox.commands.run(
          f"bash -lc 'ss -ltn | grep -q \":{GATEWAY_PORT} \" && echo ready || echo waiting'"
      )
      if probe.stdout.strip() == "ready":
          break
      time.sleep(1)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Info>
  For Telegram setup, you do **not** need to open the gateway URL in a browser. The gateway process is used here as a long-running channel runtime.
</Info>

## Pair your Telegram user

1. Open your bot in Telegram and send a message (for example: `hi`).
2. Telegram will return a pairing prompt similar to:

```text theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
OpenClaw: access not configured.

Your Telegram user id: ...
Pairing code: XXXXXXXX

Ask the bot owner to approve with:
openclaw pairing approve telegram XXXXXXXX
```

3. Approve that pairing code via `sandbox.commands.run(...)`:

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  const PAIRING_CODE = 'XXXXXXXX' // from Telegram

  await sandbox.commands.run(
    `openclaw pairing approve --channel telegram ${PAIRING_CODE}`
  )
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  PAIRING_CODE = "XXXXXXXX"  # from Telegram

  sandbox.commands.run(
      f"openclaw pairing approve --channel telegram {PAIRING_CODE}"
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

`openclaw pairing approve telegram <PAIRING_CODE>` also works if you prefer that form.

## Verify channel status

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  const channels = await sandbox.commands.run('openclaw channels list --json')
  const status = await sandbox.commands.run('openclaw channels status --json --probe')
  const pairing = await sandbox.commands.run('openclaw pairing list --json --channel telegram')

  console.log(JSON.parse(channels.stdout))
  console.log(JSON.parse(status.stdout))
  console.log(JSON.parse(pairing.stdout))
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import json

  channels = sandbox.commands.run("openclaw channels list --json")
  status = sandbox.commands.run("openclaw channels status --json --probe")
  pairing = sandbox.commands.run("openclaw pairing list --json --channel telegram")

  print(json.loads(channels.stdout))
  print(json.loads(status.stdout))
  print(json.loads(pairing.stdout))
  ```
</CodeGroup>

If you need logs from channel handlers:

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  const logs = await sandbox.commands.run(
    'openclaw channels logs --channel telegram --lines 200'
  )
  console.log(logs.stdout)
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  logs = sandbox.commands.run(
      "openclaw channels logs --channel telegram --lines 200"
  )
  print(logs.stdout)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Troubleshooting

* `Unknown channel: telegram`
  * The Telegram plugin is not enabled. Run `openclaw config set plugins.entries.telegram.enabled true` before adding the channel.
* `OpenClaw: access not configured`
  * Pairing has not been approved yet. Run `openclaw pairing approve ...`.
* `No API key found for provider ...`
  * This guide uses `openai/gpt-5.2`. Set `OPENAI_API_KEY` in sandbox envs.
* No pending pairing requests from `pairing list`
  * Send a fresh message to the bot first, then retry `pairing list --channel telegram`.

# OpenCode
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/agents/opencode

Run OpenCode in a secure E2B sandbox with full filesystem, terminal, and git access.

[OpenCode](https://opencode.ai) is an open-source coding agent that supports multiple LLM providers. E2B provides a pre-built `opencode` template with OpenCode already installed.

This page runs the whole agent inside a sandbox. To keep OpenCode on your machine and use sandboxes as remote workspaces instead, see [OpenCode workspaces](/agents/opencode/workspace-plugin).

## CLI

Create a sandbox with the [E2B CLI](/cli).

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
e2b sbx create opencode
```

Once inside the sandbox, start OpenCode.

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
opencode
```

## Run headless

Use `opencode run` for non-interactive mode. Pass your LLM provider's API key as an environment variable — OpenCode supports `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`, `OPENAI_API_KEY`, `GEMINI_API_KEY`, and [others](https://opencode.ai/docs/config/).

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create('opencode', {
    envs: { ANTHROPIC_API_KEY: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY },
  })

  const result = await sandbox.commands.run(
    `opencode run "Create a hello world HTTP server in Go"`
  )

  console.log(result.stdout)
  await sandbox.kill()
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import os
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create("opencode", envs={
      "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": os.environ["ANTHROPIC_API_KEY"],
  })

  result = sandbox.commands.run(
      'opencode run "Create a hello world HTTP server in Go"',
  )

  print(result.stdout)
  sandbox.kill()
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Example: work on a cloned repository

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create('opencode', {
    envs: { ANTHROPIC_API_KEY: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY },
    timeoutMs: 600_000,
  })

  await sandbox.commands.run(
    'git clone --depth 1 https://x-access-token:$GITHUB_TOKEN@github.com/your-org/your-repo.git /home/user/repo',
    { envs: { GITHUB_TOKEN: process.env.GITHUB_TOKEN } }
  )

  const result = await sandbox.commands.run(
    `cd /home/user/repo && opencode run "Add error handling to all API endpoints"`,
    { onStdout: (data) => process.stdout.write(data) }
  )

  const diff = await sandbox.commands.run('cd /home/user/repo && git diff')
  console.log(diff.stdout)

  await sandbox.kill()
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import os
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create("opencode", envs={
      "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": os.environ["ANTHROPIC_API_KEY"],
  }, timeout=600)

  sandbox.commands.run(
      "git clone --depth 1 https://x-access-token:$GITHUB_TOKEN@github.com/your-org/your-repo.git /home/user/repo",
      envs={"GITHUB_TOKEN": os.environ["GITHUB_TOKEN"]},
  )

  result = sandbox.commands.run(
      'cd /home/user/repo && opencode run "Add error handling to all API endpoints"',
      on_stdout=lambda data: print(data, end=""),
  )

  diff = sandbox.commands.run("cd /home/user/repo && git diff")
  print(diff.stdout)

  sandbox.kill()
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Connect with the OpenCode SDK

OpenCode includes a [headless HTTP server](https://opencode.ai/docs/server/) that you can control programmatically using the [`@opencode-ai/sdk`](https://opencode.ai/docs/sdk/) client. Start the server inside a sandbox, get the public URL with `sandbox.getHost()`, and connect from your application.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'
  import { createOpencodeClient } from '@opencode-ai/sdk'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create('opencode', {
    envs: { ANTHROPIC_API_KEY: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY },
    lifecycle: {
      onTimeout: 'pause', // "pause" | "kill"
    },
    timeoutMs: 10 * 60 * 1000,
  })

  // Start the OpenCode server
  sandbox.commands.run('opencode serve --hostname 0.0.0.0 --port 4096', {
    background: true,
  })

  // Wait for the server to be ready
  const host = sandbox.getHost(4096)
  const baseUrl = `https://${host}`
  while (true) {
    try {
      await fetch(`${baseUrl}/global/health`)
      break
    } catch {
      await new Promise((r) => setTimeout(r, 500))
    }
  }

  // Connect to the server
  const client = createOpencodeClient({
    baseUrl,
  })

  // Create a session and send a prompt
  const { data: session } = await client.session.create({
    body: { title: 'E2B Session' },
  })
  const { data: result } = await client.session.prompt({
    path: { id: session.id },
    body: {
      parts: [{ type: 'text', text: 'Create a hello world HTTP server in Go' }],
    },
  })
  console.log(result)
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import os
  import time
  import requests
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.beta_create("opencode", envs={
      "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": os.environ["ANTHROPIC_API_KEY"],
  }, auto_pause=True, timeout=10 * 60)

  # Start the OpenCode server
  sandbox.commands.run(
      "opencode serve --hostname 0.0.0.0 --port 4096",
      background=True,
  )

  # Wait for the server to be ready
  host = sandbox.get_host(4096)
  base_url = f"https://{host}"
  while True:
      try:
          requests.get(f"{base_url}/global/health")
          break
      except requests.ConnectionError:
          time.sleep(0.5)

  # Create a session and send a prompt via the HTTP API
  session = requests.post(f"{base_url}/session").json()
  result = requests.post(
      f"{base_url}/session/{session['id']}/message",
      json={
          "parts": [{"type": "text", "text": "Create a hello world HTTP server in Go"}],
      },
  ).json()
  print(result)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Build a custom template

If you need to customize the environment (e.g. pre-install dependencies, add config files), build your own template on top of the pre-built `opencode` template.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  // template.ts
  import { Template, waitForPort } from 'e2b'

  export const template = Template()
    .fromTemplate('opencode')
    .setEnvs({
      OPENCODE_SERVER_PASSWORD: 'your-password',
    })
    // Optional - start the OpenCode server on sandbox start
    .setStartCmd(
      'opencode serve --hostname 0.0.0.0 --port 4096',
      waitForPort(4096)
    )
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  # template.py
  from e2b import Template, wait_for_port

  template = (
      Template()
      .from_template("opencode")
      .set_envs({
          "OPENCODE_SERVER_PASSWORD": "your-password",
      })
      # Optional - start the OpenCode server on sandbox start
      .set_start_cmd(
          "opencode serve --hostname 0.0.0.0 --port 4096",
          wait_for_port(4096)
      )
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  // build.ts
  import { Template, defaultBuildLogger } from 'e2b'
  import { template as openCodeTemplate } from './template'

  await Template.build(openCodeTemplate, 'my-opencode', {
    cpuCount: 2,
    memoryMB: 2048,
    onBuildLogs: defaultBuildLogger(),
  })
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  # build.py
  from e2b import Template, default_build_logger
  from template import template as opencode_template

  Template.build(opencode_template, "my-opencode",
      cpu_count=2,
      memory_mb=2048,
      on_build_logs=default_build_logger(),
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

Run the build script to create the template.

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  npx tsx build.ts
  ```

  ```bash Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  python build.py
  ```
</CodeGroup>

# OpenCode workspaces
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/agents/opencode/workspace-plugin

Use E2B sandboxes as remote workspaces for a local OpenCode session, and move sessions into them with /warp.

The [OpenCode E2B workspace plugin](https://github.com/e2b-dev/opencode-e2b) registers an `e2b` workspace type in OpenCode. OpenCode keeps running on your machine. Each workspace is an E2B sandbox that runs a remote OpenCode server on a copy of your project. You can start a session inside the sandbox, or move an existing local session into it with `/warp`.

<Note>
  The plugin builds on OpenCode's experimental workspace API. See [Known limitations](#known-limitations) before relying on it.
</Note>

## Prerequisites

* An [E2B API key](/api-key).
* OpenCode `1.16.0` or newer.
* A macOS or Linux host. See [Known limitations](#known-limitations) for Windows.

## Install

Add the plugin to your OpenCode config. The second element of the tuple is optional and holds the plugin [options](#options).

```json opencode.json theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "plugin": [
    [
      "opencode-e2b-workspace-plugin",
      {
        "nodeVariant": "22-slim",
        "sandboxTimeoutMs": 3600000
      }
    ]
  ]
}
```

Start OpenCode with your E2B API key and the workspace flag.

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
E2B_API_KEY=e2b_*** OPENCODE_EXPERIMENTAL_WORKSPACES=true opencode
```

## Use

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create a workspace">
    In OpenCode, run `/warp` and choose **E2B Sandbox**. The plugin builds a sandbox template for your project, uploads a snapshot of the project, and starts a remote OpenCode server. The first build for a project takes one to two minutes. Later workspaces reuse the template.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Work inside the sandbox">
    Send a prompt. The agent runs inside the sandbox, on the sandbox copy of your project. The workspace is named after your branch, for example `e2b-main`.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Move a session">
    From an existing local session, run `/warp` and pick the workspace. OpenCode moves the session history into the sandbox. To move a session back to your machine, run `/warp` and choose **None**. OpenCode then offers to move the sandbox's file changes with it: the diff of what the agent changed is applied to your project as a patch. Your local history is untouched, and commits made inside the sandbox do not travel back. Your project must be a git repository root for the patch to apply.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start a new session">
    `/new` starts a new local session. Run `/warp` again to put it in the sandbox.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## How it works

The plugin layers a small workspace template on top of the published E2B template `e2b/opencode:v<version>`, where `<version>` matches your local OpenCode. If that template is not available, the plugin builds its own base from the configured Node image and installs the same OpenCode version. Managed templates use the `opencode-e2b-` alias prefix, and a best-effort cleanup removes old ones.

Inside the sandbox, the project lives at the **same path as on your host**, and the remote OpenCode server runs as the sandbox user. OpenCode resolves a session directory on both the host and the sandbox, so a shared path is what lets a warped session work on both sides. The plugin returns the workspace only after the remote server answers on its health and sync endpoints.

## Options

| Option | Description | Default |
| - | - | - |
| `nodeVariant` | Node image variant for managed templates. | `22-slim` |
| `sandboxTimeoutMs` | Sandbox lifetime. Every request OpenCode sends to the workspace extends the lifetime by this amount, so it acts as an inactivity limit. When it runs out, E2B destroys the sandbox. | `3600000` (1 hour) |
| `projectPath` | Project directory inside the sandbox. Any absolute path. | Your project's path on the host. Falls back to `/home/user/project` when the host path cannot be mirrored. |
| `serverPort` | Port of the remote OpenCode server. | `4096` |
| `secure` | Use E2B secure sandbox traffic. | `true` |
| `metadata` | Extra key-value metadata attached to each sandbox. | `{}` |
| `network.allowPublicTraffic` | Allow unauthenticated access to sandbox URLs. When `false`, requests carry E2B's traffic access token. | `false` |
| `network.allowOut` / `network.denyOut` | Outbound network allow and deny lists, passed to E2B as-is. | `[]` |
| `network.maskRequestHost` | Host to present on outbound requests, passed to E2B as-is. | unset |
| `upload.ignore` | Paths or path segments to skip when the project snapshot is uploaded. Your list replaces the default list. | `.git`, `node_modules`, `dist`, `build`, `.next`, `.turbo`, `.cache`, `.DS_Store` |
| `upload.includeDotGit` | Upload the local `.git` directory. | `false` |
| `upload.followSymlinks` | Follow symlinks during upload. Symlinks that leave the project are rejected. | `false` |
| `upload.batchSize` | Files per upload request. | `100` |
| `bootstrap.prepareCommands` | Shell commands to run in the sandbox after upload and before the remote server starts. | `[]` |
| `bootstrap.waitForPath` | Path polled on the remote server until it answers. | `/global/health` |
| `bootstrap.waitForTimeoutMs` | How long to wait for the remote server and its sync endpoints. | `30000` |
| `templateGc.enabled` | Remove old managed templates at plugin load and after a workspace is removed. | `true` |
| `templateGc.ttlMs` | Age after which an unused managed template is removed. Values below 1 hour are raised to 1 hour. | `259200000` (3 days) |
| `templateGc.cooldownMs` | Minimum gap between two cleanup passes. | `600000` (10 minutes) |

`bootstrap.installCommand` and `bootstrap.startCommand` from older configs are accepted but ignored: the template installs OpenCode and starts the server.

## Known limitations

### Experimental foundation

The plugin uses the `experimental_workspace` API of OpenCode. You must set `OPENCODE_EXPERIMENTAL_WORKSPACES=true`. OpenCode can change this API without notice.

### macOS and Linux hosts only

The sandbox stores the project at the same path as the host, which is what makes a session directory valid on both machines. A Windows path cannot exist in the sandbox, so on Windows the project lives at `/home/user/project` instead and the host cannot open that path. Workspaces created on Windows are not supported.

### A sandbox does not survive inactivity

E2B destroys a sandbox once `sandboxTimeoutMs` passes without any request from OpenCode. The default is 1 hour. The workspace then shows as unavailable and you must create it again. For long breaks, set a higher `sandboxTimeoutMs`.

### Warp of a session with history can fail

A warp of a new session is reliable. A warp of a session with existing messages can fail with a sync error ("sequence mismatch"). If this happens, try the warp again, or start the session inside the workspace.

# OpenEnv multi-turn RL
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/agents/openenv

Inspect, run and repair code across native OpenEnv Terminus steps in E2B, with a first reward without a GPU and optional TRL training wiring.

[OpenEnv](https://github.com/huggingface/OpenEnv) gives a model tools, observations and rewards for reinforcement learning and agent evaluation. Its [Terminus environment](https://github.com/huggingface/OpenEnv/tree/v0.8.0/envs/terminus_env) runs terminal commands in E2B, so a policy can inspect files, execute a program, edit it and check its work over several turns.

## Where OpenEnv and E2B fit

E2B keeps executable episode code isolated from your trainer host and preserves files between steps. Reset starts a fresh sandbox for the next completion. The OpenEnv server, model inference and training run on your own compute; this Terminus path works with a local server and requires no Docker.

```mermaid theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
flowchart TB
    P["Policy / TRL on your host"] -->|tools| B["Cookbook task environment"]
    B -->|reset / step| O["Local Terminus server"]
    O -->|execute| S["E2B episode sandbox"]

    B -->|upload source and held-out CSV| V["Fresh offline verifier sandbox"]
    V -->|exit code and bounded JSON output| B
    B -->|grade| R["Host-held expectations"]
    B -->|confirm both deletions| C["E2B control API"]
```

Terminus supplies the native reset/step protocol and policy workspace. The cookbook's `ReportEpisode` manages task data, deadlines, submission and cleanup. It creates the verifier through the E2B SDK and compares the result with expectations on the host. TRL supplies the model's tool loop and optimizer when you enable training.

## Run your first repair episode

The example starts from a Python CSV report that overwrites repeated regions instead of adding their sales. One episode submits that bug and scores zero. A fresh episode inspects the files, repairs the program, reruns it and scores one.

Requires Python 3.12 or 3.13, [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/), Git and an [E2B API key](https://console.e2b.dev). The demo creates four short-lived sandboxes sequentially: a policy workspace and a verifier for each episode. It consumes usage credits; no model provider key or GPU is needed.

### Start the local server

Get the [OpenEnv Terminus example](https://github.com/e2b-dev/e2b-cookbook/tree/main/examples/openenv-terminus-python) and install its pinned dependencies:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
git clone https://github.com/e2b-dev/e2b-cookbook.git
cd e2b-cookbook/examples/openenv-terminus-python
uv sync --frozen
cp .env.example .env
```

Set `E2B_API_KEY` in the ignored host `.env`. Start the server from that directory:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
uv run --frozen uvicorn server:app --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8010
```

### Run the demo and inspect the result

In a second terminal, from the same directory:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
uv run --frozen main.py
```

Expected repaired output on the visible CSV:

```json theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
{"east": 15, "west": 7}
```

The buggy output is `{"east": 5, "west": 7}`. The receipt contains rewards `[0.0, 1.0]`, two policy IDs, two verifier IDs, operation timings and confirmed cleanup. This scripted result checks execution and grading. Stop the local server with Ctrl-C after the clients finish.

## Follow an episode from reset to reward

### Inspect and edit persistent files

`reset()` installs the buggy `report.py` and visible `sales.csv` in a new policy sandbox. `terminal(command)` sends each action through native `step(CallToolAction(...))` and returns output to the policy. The same files are available for inspection, execution and repair across those calls.

### Submit the source to a fresh verifier

`submit()` exports only `report.py`, confirms deletion of the policy sandbox, then creates a fresh sandbox from the same template with outbound access disabled. It uploads the source and a separate CSV. Background processes, companion files and modified binaries from the policy workspace are excluded from that transfer.

### Grade on the host and finish cleanup

The verifier runs the fixed Python command under a timeout. The host requires exit code zero and JSON containing exactly the expected integer totals. Submission confirms verifier deletion before committing the score; `get_reward()` returns that committed result. Without submission, reward collection checks the policy sandbox before accepting zero and deletes it.

| Outcome | Task score |
| - | - |
| Buggy report or visible-answer hardcode fails the separate CSV | `0.0` |
| Correct aggregation produces the separate input's totals | `1.0` |
| Healthy episode ends without submission | `0.0` |
| Submitted code exits non-zero, times out or produces invalid output | `0.0` |
| Policy window exhausted in a healthy sandbox | Zero after confirmed cleanup; continue training |
| Resource loss, transport failure, global deadline or unresolved cleanup | Abort without scoring |

<Warning>
  OpenEnv 0.8.0 accepts a policy-writable `reward.txt` value. This cookbook ignores it and grades on the host. The submitted candidate remains untrusted code in the fresh verifier. Both fixed fixtures are public, so this task check does not establish generalization or a complete adversarial grading boundary.
</Warning>

## Use the Python bridge

With the server running, execute this from the example directory:

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
import shlex

from dotenv import load_dotenv
from episode import BUGGY, PROGRAM, ReportEpisode

load_dotenv()
episode = ReportEpisode()
try:
    print(episode.reset())
    print(episode.terminal(f"cat {PROGRAM}; python3 -B {PROGRAM}"))
    fixed = BUGGY.replace(
        '= int(row["amount"])',
        '= totals.get(row["region"], 0) + int(row["amount"])',
    )
    episode.terminal(f"printf %s {shlex.quote(fixed)} > {PROGRAM}")
    print(episode.submit())   # Verify the source on a separate CSV, then delete both sandboxes.
    print(episode.get_reward())  # 1.0; both sandboxes are already confirmed absent.
finally:
    episode._close()
```

`terminal` returns observations, `submit` verifies and cleans up, and `get_reward` returns the score. The `finally` also protects operations that fail before reward collection. After submission, further tool calls cannot mutate the episode.

## Adapt the task

The cookbook's [task.json](https://github.com/e2b-dev/e2b-cookbook/blob/main/examples/openenv-terminus-python/task.json) contains `id`, visible CSV `input`, integer `expected` totals, a `prompt`, and a `verification` pair with a separate input and expected totals. Setup uploads the visible input and buggy program; verification data stays on the host until submission.

Change both input/expectation pairs and the prompt together. For a different defect, update the starter in `episode.py`, the scripted repair in `main.py` and the focused tests. Keep grading expectations in trusted orchestration.

For TRL, the dataset columns are `prompt` (chat messages) and `task` (trusted reset data serialized with `json.dumps`). Reset decodes the JSON; this preserves each task's expectation keys when Arrow stores rows with different regions. Direct Python callers can still pass a task dictionary. Only `terminal(command)` and `submit()` are model tools; reset, expected answers, sandbox identity and cleanup remain orchestration controls.

## Connect the environment to TRL

### Choose a tool-capable model

Keep the local server running. Set `MODEL_PATH` to a Transformers checkpoint or model ID whose chat template and response parser support tool calls such as `terminal(command="...")`. Install the training extra and run:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
uv sync --frozen --extra training
uv run --frozen --extra training train.py --model "$MODEL_PATH"
```

The example leaves model choice to you. `--cpu` supports local wiring checks; practical training requirements depend on your checkpoint and compute. Pretrained task success, GPU requirements and learning improvement have not been measured by this example.

### Let the native tool loop collect the rollout

`train.py` passes a factory to TRL 1.14.2's experimental `GRPOTrainer(environment_factory=...)`. TRL discovers the typed `terminal` and `submit` methods, calls `reset(task=...)` for each completion, appends tool observations and calls `get_reward()` when collecting scores. It owns generation, token masks and the GRPO loss; Transformers >=5.2 supplies tool-call parsing.

TRL pools Python environment objects. Constructing `ReportEpisode` allocates nothing, and each reset replaces its sandbox. Batch startup and tool calls can run serially. Submission blocks further mutations, while TRL's completion/token limits control when generation ends. The training run's `finally` closes every environment again.

### Understand the configuration and artifacts

The defaults request two completions per prompt, a two-completion batch, up to 512 completion tokens, a learning rate of `1e-6` and one optimizer step. `--max-steps` changes the step count; `--output-dir` defaults to `training-output`. CPU mode disables BF16; the normal path requests BF16.

On successful training, the script saves the model under `training-output/checkpoint` and prints JSON with operation traces and cleanup entries. This is a model save; the script does not save optimizer state for resuming training. External experiment reporting is disabled. Full generated-conversation logging is not enabled by default, and a one-step run may finish before TRL's usual metric logging interval.

### Check tool calls and reward signal

Use the operation trace to confirm the policy executed tools and submitted. When reading TRL metrics, distinguish reward quality from tool parsing and optimizer activity:

| Signal | What it tells you |
| - | - |
| `reward` | Mean task score for the scored completions |
| `tools/call_frequency`, `tools/failure_frequency` | Calls per completion and fraction of calls that raised; a completed shell error can still be a normal observation |
| `frac_reward_zero_std` | Fraction of groups with identical rewards; those groups supply no reward difference for GRPO |
| `train_loss` | Optimization summary; zero can occur when every completion receives the same reward |

An initial run can finish with all rewards zero and `train_loss=0`. Check tool parsing and submission first, then inspect candidate failures and adjust tasks or prompting until some completions succeed and others fail before measuring learning. TRL can catch a tool exception and show it to the model; the bridge remembers infrastructure failures and raises again at reward collection to keep them out of training data.

For a model comparison, evaluate the starting and saved models with the same tasks, verification inputs, prompts, sampling settings, token/tool budgets and sandbox resources. Report task scores, infrastructure failures, latency and cost separately. The scripted demo and one optimizer step establish wiring; a learning claim needs a separate evaluation on varied tasks and held-out data.

## Lifecycle and failures

### State and reset

Files persist within an episode. Each terminal command starts a fresh shell, so use absolute paths rather than relying on a previous `cd` or export. Reset replaces the whole sandbox, including background processes. The sandbox connection is attached before the policy runs, and submission never reconnects to or resumes that sandbox.

### Timeout budgets and cancellation

The policy window starts after reset setup finishes. When it expires, the next tool or reward boundary checks sandbox health, confirms deletion and commits zero; subsequent commands are blocked. A timely submission stops policy work, and export/verification use the global and operation budgets. Infrastructure or cleanup failures remain fatal even when the policy window has expired. These checks do not interrupt model generation on the host; the trainer must enforce its own generation timeout.

| Budget | Value | Purpose |
| - | - | - |
| Native policy lifetime, then host extension | 300 s, then 600 s | Remote backstop, extended after the policy ID arrives |
| Policy window after ready reset | 120 s | Batch waiting, generation and terminal work until submission |
| Global episode deadline | 600 s | Reset through verification and cleanup; exhaustion remains fatal |
| Sandbox-side command limit | 10 s | Bound an ordinary shell or report execution |
| Native client message limit | 25 s | Wait for an OpenEnv response |
| Verifier lifetime / SDK command response | 120 s / 20 s | Bound the extra resource and command response |
| Artifact/output transfer deadline | 10 s | Bound each file transfer, capped at 64 KiB |

A returned shell error or timeout lets the policy inspect the result and correct its program. A lost response or local cancellation leaves remote execution uncertain: the recipe aborts scoring, removes its owned resources and avoids replaying the step. Detached processes can outlive a shell command, so cleanup removes the whole sandbox. If reset loses an allocation response before an ID arrives, the native lifetime bounds that unknown resource.

### Cleanup and resource reconciliation

The OpenEnv 0.8.0 server can suppress teardown failures. The recipe therefore deletes and checks every known owned ID, retries deletion for those IDs and reports unresolved cleanup. A committed score is readable after deletion. For an unresolved ID, check that owned resource in the [E2B console](https://console.e2b.dev) before rerunning. An abrupt host kill can require manual reconciliation.

Keep the key on the host. The server binds to loopback; the policy sandbox retains native template networking, and the verifier has outbound access disabled. The cookbook includes failure diagnostics and a troubleshooting table.

## Scale and cost

With serial startup, the first sandbox waits roughly `(batch_size - 1) * reset_time` before generation. Budget its lifetime and both local windows for that wait, generation, tool calls, verification and cleanup, with margin for rate-limit delays. Measure those phases separately on your workload; the dated smoke sample is in the cookbook.

[Billing and limits](/billing) lists project-wide creation and concurrency limits. The server's two-session cap and allocation pacing apply to one process. Each submitted rollout uses two allocations; an episode without submission uses one. Coordinate additional workers against the same project budget. The E2B SDK honors `Retry-After` for API 429 responses; retrying an uncertain episode can duplicate work.

Use actual CPU/RAM sizes and full running lifetime with [current pricing](https://e2b.dev/pricing): sum `running_seconds * (vCPUs * CPU_rate + GiB * memory_rate)` across policy and verifier resources. Resources are billed while waiting for the model. Cleanup confirmation gives a conservative lifetime estimate, and completed resources close before optimizer time. Add model/GPU and subscription costs separately.

## Other rollout and training paths

Use Terminus for terminal steps inside one code-repair episode. [NeMo Gym](/agents/nemo-gym) offers a provider configuration for its own task harnesses. [OpenEnv Harbor](https://github.com/huggingface/OpenEnv/tree/v0.8.0/src/openenv/harbor) drives a whole coding-agent rollout with separate task/template and token-capture prerequisites. Native Jupyter shares mutable policy-kernel state, so keep task verification outside that kernel.

For managed compute, see the [Fireworks Training API RL](https://docs.fireworks.ai/fine-tuning/training-api/cookbook/rl) and [agentic RL](https://docs.fireworks.ai/fine-tuning/training-api/cookbook/agentic-rl) recipes. That training path requires an adapter associating generated tokens with their probabilities and tool-output masks; it is a separate integration.


# Pi
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/agents/pi

Run Pi in a secure E2B sandbox with full filesystem, terminal, and git access.

[Pi](https://pi.dev) is a minimal terminal coding agent that can be extended with TypeScript extensions, skills, prompt templates, and themes. E2B provides a pre-built `pi` template with Pi already installed.

## CLI

Create a sandbox with the [E2B CLI](/cli).

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
e2b sbx create pi
```

Once inside the sandbox, start Pi.

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
pi
```

Use `/login` to authenticate with a supported subscription provider, or provide an API key through an environment variable.

## Run headless

Use `-p` for non-interactive print mode. Pi does not show permission prompts for its built-in tools, so no auto-approval flag is needed. The sandbox isolates Pi from your host machine, but sandboxes can reach the open internet by default — restrict outbound traffic with [network rules](/network/internet-access).

Pi supports multiple model providers. The examples below use Anthropic through the `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` environment variable.

<Note>
  Pi can read and modify files and run shell commands directly. E2B contains those operations inside the sandbox, so Pi cannot access your host files or credentials. It can still make outbound network requests — use [outbound network rules](/network/internet-access) to limit access by CIDR or hostname. Hostname rules apply to HTTP(S) traffic only; use CIDR rules for other protocols.
</Note>

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create('pi', {
    envs: { ANTHROPIC_API_KEY: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY },
  })

  const result = await sandbox.commands.run(
    `pi -p "Create a hello world HTTP server in Go"`
  )

  console.log(result.stdout)
  await sandbox.kill()
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import os
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create("pi", envs={
      "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": os.environ["ANTHROPIC_API_KEY"],
  })

  result = sandbox.commands.run(
      'pi -p "Create a hello world HTTP server in Go"',
  )

  print(result.stdout)
  sandbox.kill()
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Example: work on a cloned repository

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create('pi', {
    envs: { ANTHROPIC_API_KEY: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY },
    timeoutMs: 600_000,
  })

  await sandbox.commands.run(
    'git clone --depth 1 https://x-access-token:$GITHUB_TOKEN@github.com/your-org/your-repo.git /home/user/repo',
    { envs: { GITHUB_TOKEN: process.env.GITHUB_TOKEN } }
  )

  const result = await sandbox.commands.run(
    `cd /home/user/repo && pi -p "Add error handling to all API endpoints"`,
    { onStdout: (data) => process.stdout.write(data) }
  )

  const diff = await sandbox.commands.run('cd /home/user/repo && git diff')
  console.log(diff.stdout)

  await sandbox.kill()
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import os
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create("pi", envs={
      "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": os.environ["ANTHROPIC_API_KEY"],
  }, timeout=600)

  sandbox.commands.run(
      "git clone --depth 1 https://x-access-token:$GITHUB_TOKEN@github.com/your-org/your-repo.git /home/user/repo",
      envs={"GITHUB_TOKEN": os.environ["GITHUB_TOKEN"]},
  )

  result = sandbox.commands.run(
      'cd /home/user/repo && pi -p "Add error handling to all API endpoints"',
      on_stdout=lambda data: print(data, end=""),
  )

  diff = sandbox.commands.run("cd /home/user/repo && git diff")
  print(diff.stdout)

  sandbox.kill()
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Build a custom template

If you need to customize the environment (e.g. pre-install dependencies, add config files), build your own template on top of the pre-built `pi` template.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  // template.ts
  import { Template } from 'e2b'

  export const template = Template()
    .fromTemplate('pi')
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  # template.py
  from e2b import Template

  template = (
      Template()
      .from_template("pi")
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  // build.ts
  import { Template, defaultBuildLogger } from 'e2b'
  import { template as piTemplate } from './template'

  await Template.build(piTemplate, 'my-pi', {
    cpuCount: 2,
    memoryMB: 2048,
    onBuildLogs: defaultBuildLogger(),
  })
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  # build.py
  from e2b import Template, default_build_logger
  from template import template as pi_template

  Template.build(pi_template, "my-pi",
      cpu_count=2,
      memory_mb=2048,
      on_build_logs=default_build_logger(),
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

Run the build script to create the template.

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  npx tsx build.ts
  ```

  ```bash Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  python build.py
  ```

# Prime Agent
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/agents/prime

Run Prime Agent in a secure E2B sandbox with full filesystem, terminal, and git access.

[Prime Agent](https://github.com/PrimeIntellect-ai/prime-agent) is Prime Intellect's open-source coding and research agent for general and long-running work, built around a persistent IPython kernel and recursive subagents. E2B provides a pre-built `prime` template with Prime Agent already installed.

## CLI

Create a sandbox with the [E2B CLI](/cli).

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
e2b sbx create prime
```

Once inside the sandbox, start Prime Agent.

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
prime-agent
```

On first launch, run `/login` to pick a subscription (Claude Pro/Max, ChatGPT Plus/Pro, GitHub Copilot) or an API-key provider.

## Run headless

Use `-p` to print the response and exit. Prime Agent has no approval prompts or auto-approve flag — it runs model-generated Python and project commands with the permissions of the user it runs as, which is why upstream recommends running it inside a sandbox. The sandbox isolates the agent from your host machine, but sandboxes can reach the open internet by default — restrict outbound traffic with [network rules](/network/internet-access). Prime Agent authenticates with standard provider environment variables (`ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`, `OPENAI_API_KEY`, `GEMINI_API_KEY`, `XAI_API_KEY`, `OPENROUTER_API_KEY`), or `PRIME_API_KEY` for Prime Inference. Pick a model with `--provider <name>` and `--model <pattern>`.

<Note>
  Running tool calls without approval is contained by the sandbox: the agent cannot touch your host machine, local files, or credentials. It can still make outbound network requests — internet access is enabled by default. To limit where an unattended agent can connect, configure [outbound network rules](/network/internet-access) (`allowInternetAccess`, plus allow/deny lists by CIDR or hostname). Hostname rules apply to HTTP(S) traffic only; use CIDR rules for other protocols.

## Streaming JSON

Use `--mode json` to get a real-time JSONL event stream. The first line is a session header, followed by events as they occur — `agent_start`, `turn_start`, `message_start`/`message_update`/`message_end`, `tool_execution_start`/`tool_execution_end`, `turn_end`, and `agent_end`. For bidirectional integrations, `--mode rpc` exposes the same session over stdin/stdout.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create('prime', {
    envs: { ANTHROPIC_API_KEY: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY },
  })

  const result = await sandbox.commands.run(
    `cd /home/user/repo && prime-agent --mode json "Find and fix all TODO comments"`,
    {
      onStdout: (data) => {
        for (const line of data.split('\n').filter(Boolean)) {
          const event = JSON.parse(line)
          if (event.type === 'tool_execution_start') {
            console.log(`[tool] ${event.toolName}`)
          } else if (event.type === 'message_end') {

          }
        }
      },
    }
  )

  await sandbox.kill()

          if line:
              event = json.loads(line)
              if event["type"] == "tool_execution_start":
                  print(f"[tool] {event['toolName']}")
              elif event["type"] == "message_end":
                  print(f"[message] {event['message']['role']}")
              elif event["type"] == "agent_end":
                  print(f"[done] {len(event['messages'])} messages")

  result = sandbox.commands.run(
      'cd /home/user/repo && prime-agent --mode json "Find and fix all TODO comments"',
      on_stdout=handle_event,
  )

  sandbox.kill()
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Session management

Prime Agent saves sessions to disk and runs them behind a background daemon, so work survives across commands in a long-lived sandbox. Use `-c` to continue the most recent session, `-r <path|id>` to resume a specific one, and `prime-agent agents` / `prime-agent attach <agent>` to list and reattach to agents still running in the sandbox.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create('prime', {
    envs: { ANTHROPIC_API_KEY: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY },
    timeoutMs: 600_000,
  })

  // Start a new session
  const initial = await sandbox.commands.run(
    `cd /home/user/repo && prime-agent -p "Analyze the codebase and create a refactoring plan"`,
    { onStdout: (data) => process.stdout.write(data) }
  )

  // Continue the most recent session with a follow-up task
  const followUp = await sandbox.commands.run(
    `cd /home/user/repo && prime-agent -c -p "Now implement step 1 of the plan"`,
    { onStdout: (data) => process.stdout.write(data) }
  )

  const diff = await sandbox.commands.run('cd /home/user/repo && git diff')
  console.log(diff.stdout)

  await sandbox.kill()
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import os
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create("prime", envs={
      "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": os.environ["ANTHROPIC_API_KEY"],
  }, timeout=600)

  # Start a new session
  initial = sandbox.commands.run(
      'cd /home/user/repo && prime-agent -p "Analyze the codebase and create a refactoring plan"',
      on_stdout=lambda data: print(data, end=""),
  )

  # Continue the most recent session with a follow-up task
  follow_up = sandbox.commands.run(
      'cd /home/user/repo && prime-agent -c -p "Now implement step 1 of the plan"',
      on_stdout=lambda data: print(data, end=""),
  )

  diff = sandbox.commands.run("cd /home/user/repo && git diff")
  print(diff.stdout)

  sandbox.kill()
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Build a custom template

If you need to customize the environment (e.g. pre-install dependencies, add config files), build your own template on top of the pre-built `prime` template.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  // template.ts
  import { Template } from 'e2b'

  export const template = Template()
    .fromTemplate('prime')
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  # template.py
  from e2b import Template

  template = (
      Template()
      .from_template("prime")
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  // build.ts
  import { Template, defaultBuildLogger } from 'e2b'
  import { template as primeTemplate } from './template'

  await Template.build(primeTemplate, 'my-prime', {
    cpuCount: 2,
    memoryMB: 2048,
    onBuildLogs: defaultBuildLogger(),
  })
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  # build.py
  from e2b import Template, default_build_logger
  from template import template as prime_template

  Template.build(prime_template, "my-prime",
      cpu_count=2,
      memory_mb=2048,
      on_build_logs=default_build_logger(),
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

Run the build script to create the template.

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  npx tsx build.ts
  ```

  ```bash Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  python build.py
  ```

# Pydantic AI
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/agents/pydantic-ai

Run Pydantic AI coding tools in E2B and keep their workspace across runs and worker restarts.

[Pydantic AI](https://pydantic.dev/docs/ai/) has a native E2B workspace provider in its official harness package. `E2BSandbox` supplies the execution environment; capabilities such as `Shell`, `FileSystem`, and `Coder` run their commands and file operations inside that environment.

Pydantic AI manages the agent loop and workspace selection. E2B supplies the isolated computer and its persistent filesystem. Your application decides when to pause or delete the sandbox.

## Install and authenticate

Use Python 3.11 or newer. Install the native integration and the model provider used below:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
pip install "pydantic-ai-harness[e2b]>=0.54.0" "pydantic-ai-slim[openai]>=2.54.0"
```

Set keys in the process running the agent:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
export E2B_API_KEY="your_e2b_api_key"
export OPENAI_API_KEY="your_openai_api_key"
```

The example uses `gpt-4.1-mini` to keep a small coding task inexpensive. Other providers need their corresponding Pydantic AI extra and model configuration. API keys remain on your machine; the sandbox does not inherit your environment.

## Fix a Python log-analysis CLI

This CLI incorrectly counts only HTTP 500 responses as server errors. Seed a small project, let the agent fix it, and verify the actual output independently:

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
import asyncio

from pydantic_ai import Agent
from pydantic_ai.usage import UsageLimits
from pydantic_ai.workspaces import Workspace
from pydantic_ai_harness.e2b_sandbox import E2BSandbox, E2BSandboxBackend
from pydantic_ai_harness.filesystem import FileSystem
from pydantic_ai_harness.shell import Shell


async def main():
    backend = E2BSandboxBackend(
        working_dir="/home/user/log-cli",
        env={"PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE": "1"},
        sandbox_timeout=300,
        allow_internet_access=False,
    )
    try:
        workspace = Workspace(backend)
        await workspace.write_text("log_stats.py", """import json
from pathlib import Path

records = [json.loads(line) for line in Path('requests.jsonl').read_text().splitlines()]
print(sum(record['status'] == 500 for record in records))
""")
        await workspace.write_text("requests.jsonl", '{"status": 200}\n{"status": 500}\n{"status": 503}\n')
        agent = Agent(
            "openai:gpt-4.1-mini",
            capabilities=[
                E2BSandbox(),
                Shell(tools=["run_command"], default_timeout=20),
                FileSystem(tools=["read_file", "write_file", "edit_file"], content_hashes=False),
            ],
            model_settings={"max_tokens": 1024, "timeout": 30, "parallel_tool_calls": False},
        )
        async with asyncio.timeout(120):
            result = await agent.run(
                "Fix log_stats.py to count all HTTP 500–599 responses as server errors. "
                "Read both files and run the CLI. Do not change requests.jsonl.",
                workspace=backend,
                usage_limits=UsageLimits(request_limit=6, input_tokens_limit=30_000),
            )
        check = await workspace.run(["python", "log_stats.py"], timeout=20)
        assert check.exit_code == 0 and check.stdout.strip() == "2", check
        assert await workspace.read_text("requests.jsonl") == '{"status": 200}\n{"status": 500}\n{"status": 503}\n'
        print(f"Sandbox: {result.workspace.ref.id}; verified server errors: 2")
    finally:
        if backend.ref is not None:
            await E2BSandbox().destroy(backend.ref)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())
```

The result prints your sandbox ID and `verified server errors: 2`. The application checks the executed CLI rather than trusting the agent's explanation. Internet access is disabled because this project needs no downloads; model calls happen on the host.

The supplied backend owns the working directory, environment, and lifetime settings. The agent's `E2BSandbox()` capability does not override those settings when `workspace=backend` is supplied. Initialization is inside `try` so a failed file upload or agent run still reaches cleanup.

## Continue after a pause

To keep the workspace, save `result.workspace.ref` and `result.all_messages()` instead of deleting it after the first run. Get the underlying E2B SDK handle with `await backend.get_sandbox()` and pause it with `await sandbox.pause()`.

For the second run, pass the saved ref as `workspace=` and the saved messages as `message_history=`. Configure `E2BSandbox` with the same working directory and environment for reattachment. The first workspace operation reconnects and resumes the paused sandbox; its files are still there. The ref identifies the workspace, while message history also preserves the conversation. A ref contains no credentials, so another process needs its own `E2B_API_KEY`.

A killed or unavailable sandbox raises `WorkspaceUnavailableError`; the integration does not quietly replace it with a new empty sandbox. Use `workspace="new"` only when you intentionally want a separate workspace.

## Recover a Temporal worker

Compose the agent with `TemporalDurability` from `pydantic_ai.durable_exec.temporal`, register it on a `PydanticAIWorkflow`, and connect the Temporal client with `PydanticAIPlugin`. Install the harness's `temporal` extra too. The plugin registers model/tool/workspace activities for the workflow's agents.

Persist the workspace ref before testing a worker crash. A replacement worker uses the same task queue, workflow, agent registration, and ref to continue in that sandbox. Temporal replay preserves completed operations; activities interrupted before their completion is recorded may execute again. Make their side effects repeatable. Killing a worker is not proof that a remote shell command stopped, and recovery is not an exactly-once guarantee for sandbox creation.

## Ownership and lifetime

* Pydantic AI does not delete the sandbox at the end of an agent run. It can keep running and billing until you pause it, delete it, or its lifetime expires.
* Native E2B sandboxes default to a 3,600-second lifetime and pause on timeout. `sandbox_timeout` also applies on reattachment. A command's `timeout` separately bounds that command.
* Call `await E2BSandbox().destroy(ref)` when the application is finished. It deletes a paused sandbox by ID without resuming it. Preserve the ref and report cleanup errors so deletion can be retried.
* File tools and shell commands share the sandbox. File-tool path restrictions do not constrain arbitrary shell commands, and the model should not receive host-file transfer tools or API keys it does not need.

See [E2B persistence](/sandbox/persistence), [the native Pydantic AI guide](https://pydantic.dev/docs/ai/harness/e2b-sandbox/), and [Pydantic AI's Temporal documentation](https://pydantic.dev/docs/ai/capabilities/durable_execution/temporal/).

## Complete cookbook examples

* **Pause/resume:** `pydantic-ai-python` diagnoses a JSONL log CLI, pauses the sandbox, then repairs it in a second run. It checks the same ID, preserved file checksums, original regression tests, and cleanup. [View cookbook](https://github.com/e2b-dev/e2b-cookbook/tree/7976c3d02982e56755f6883c92f6fbc6f5e2ab1f/examples/pydantic-ai-python).
* **Temporal crash recovery:** `pydantic-ai-temporal-python` kills and restarts a worker after a durable diagnosis checkpoint, then verifies the same sandbox ID and no additional running/paused sandboxes.

# Code rewards for TRL GRPO
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/agents/trl

Use E2B sandboxes to compute Python code rewards for Hugging Face TRL GRPO training. Get a first reward without a GPU, then connect it to your training run.

[TRL](https://huggingface.co/docs/trl/v1.14.2/grpo_trainer) is Hugging Face's library for training language models. With GRPO, a model generates multiple solutions to a task and learns from their relative rewards. E2B can execute the generated code in isolated sandboxes, while your evaluator checks its output and returns a reward to TRL.

The [E2B cookbook example](https://github.com/e2b-dev/e2b-cookbook/tree/main/examples/trl-grpo-python) trains a model to process JSON API-usage records: sum tokens, count requests and filter successful requests per customer. Start by evaluating fixed solutions without a GPU or model download, then use the same reward callback for training.

Use this workflow when you can check correctness with test inputs and trusted expected outputs, such as extracting or transforming structured data. Generated programs run remotely instead of on the machine holding your training data and model credentials. You do not need to install a code-execution service on the GPU host; that host calls E2B through the Python SDK. Remote execution adds sandbox creation and network overhead, so measure the reward stage before scaling a training job.

## Where E2B fits

```mermaid theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
flowchart TB
    subgraph host["Your training machine"]
        generate["TRL generates Python"]
        grade["Evaluator compares JSON with expected outputs"]
        update["TRL updates model weights"]
    end
    subgraph remote["E2B: pool of reusable workers"]
        execute["Run each test in a fresh isolated process"]
    end
    generate -->|Code and inputs| execute
    execute -->|Program output| grade
    grade -->|Reward| update
    update --> generate
```

Model generation and weight updates stay on your training machine. E2B receives candidate code and test inputs; expected outputs and reward calculation stay outside the candidate sandbox. Each candidate runs on a *worker*: an E2B sandbox that the pool keeps between callbacks. Every test still starts in a fresh process.

## Get your first code reward

The commands use Python 3.12; the package supports Python 3.11–3.13. You also need [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/) and an [E2B API key](/api-key). This reward smoke test installs only the evaluator dependencies and uses E2B sandbox resources.

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
git clone https://github.com/e2b-dev/e2b-cookbook.git
cd e2b-cookbook/examples/trl-grpo-python
uv sync --locked --python 3.12 --no-dev
cp .env.example .env
```

Set `E2B_API_KEY` in `.env`, then run:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
uv run --locked --no-dev --env-file .env python reward_smoke.py
```

The evaluator runs fixed programs against three test cases and returns:

```json theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
{
  "correct": 1.0,
  "wrong": 0.0,
  "partial": 0.3333333333333333,
  "syntax_error": 0.0,
  "timeout": 0.0
}
```

A correct program passes every case. The partial program prints `{}`, so it passes only the empty-input case. Expected results are compared as complete JSON values; a matching prefix or candidate-supplied score is not accepted. Invalid syntax needs no sandbox. The command also verifies that no running or paused sandbox remains for its run.

## Follow one solution from code to reward

The first task asks the model to sum `tokens` for each `customer`. For example, the evaluator writes this input to the candidate's stdin:

```json theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
[
  {"customer": "acme", "tokens": 12},
  {"customer": "beta", "tokens": 3},
  {"customer": "acme", "tokens": 8}
]
```

The expected output is `{"acme": 20, "beta": 3}`. A complete solution looks like this; the model must return it inside a fenced Python code block:

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
import json
import sys

totals = {}
for record in json.load(sys.stdin):
    customer = record["customer"]
    totals[customer] = totals.get(customer, 0) + record["tokens"]
print(json.dumps(totals))
```

The reward callback extracts the code block and checks Python syntax on the host. For valid code, it borrows a pool worker, writes the program and runs each input in a fresh isolated process. The host parses each output as JSON and compares it with the trusted expectation. The candidate receives inputs, but neither expected outputs nor a grading script.

| Test case | Expected output | Correct program | `print('{}')` |
| - | - | - | - |
| Empty input | `{}` | Pass | Pass |
| Repeated customers | `{"acme": 20, "beta": 3}` | Pass | Fail |
| Zero and large token totals | `{"zero": 0, "large": 100000}` | Pass | Fail |
| Reward: passed cases / all cases | — | `3 / 3 = 1.0` | `1 / 3` |

This score measures program behavior rather than similarity to a reference implementation. GRPO compares rewards among solutions generated for the same prompt. If all solutions receive the same reward, there is no relative reward difference to learn from; inspect task difficulty, output formatting and completion length before increasing the training duration.

## Connect the reward to TRL

Connecting the reward to a training run takes three steps: check the baseline reward for your model, train with the same model, then compare held-out results before and after training.

### Check baseline rewards

Choose an instruction-tuned coding model with a suitable chat template and enough GPU memory for training. Set `TRAIN_MODEL` in your shell to its Hugging Face model ID or local directory. The example has no default model: an untuned sample of `Qwen/Qwen2.5-0.5B-Instruct` gave zero reward for all 24 solutions. Check the reward signal for your chosen model before extending a run.

On your training machine, install the training extra and check the baseline first:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
uv sync --locked --python 3.12 --extra training --no-dev
uv run --locked --extra training --no-dev --env-file .env python train.py \
  --model "$TRAIN_MODEL" --baseline-only
```

`--baseline-only` samples solutions for the training and held-out tasks, prints example completions and writes `training_results/baseline.json`. It does not update model weights or save a checkpoint. Inspect `baseline.train_tasks.eval_reward`, `baseline.held_out.eval_reward` and their `eval_frac_reward_zero_std` metrics before starting training. The mean reward is defined in [Interpret held-out evaluation](#interpret-held-out-evaluation). Unlike the fixed-program smoke, it uses your model compute and E2B resources.

Look for differing rewards among solutions to the same prompt. All-zero or all-one groups provide no relative learning signal, and identical partial scores also give none. Inspect the printed code and review model capability, prompt/schema and completion length before extending a job.

### Run training

When the baseline is useful, train with the same model:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
uv run --locked --extra training --no-dev --env-file .env python train.py \
  --model "$TRAIN_MODEL"
```

### Task schema and reward interface

The script passes its async `pool.code_reward` to `GRPOTrainer` as `reward_funcs`. TRL supplies the dataset's `test_cases` column with each batch of completions and expects one score per completion, in order. This uses TRL's native custom reward interface; no E2B trainer package or sync/async bridge is needed.

The trainer connection in `train.py` is shown below. This is an excerpt from the complete script: `args` comes from its command-line options, and `config` is the `GRPOConfig` built there.

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
import asyncio

from datasets import Dataset
from trl import GRPOTrainer

from rewards import RewardPool
from tasks import EVAL_TASKS, TRAIN_TASKS

pool = RewardPool(args.sandbox_workers, args.create_interval)
try:
    trainer = GRPOTrainer(
        model=args.model,
        args=config,
        reward_funcs=pool.code_reward,
        train_dataset=Dataset.from_list(TRAIN_TASKS),
        eval_dataset=Dataset.from_list(EVAL_TASKS),
    )
    trainer.train()
finally:
    asyncio.run(pool.close())
```

Each dataset row contains a conversational `prompt` and a `test_cases` list. The callback has the signature `async def code_reward(completions, test_cases, **kwargs)`: TRL aligns each completion with its cases, and `**kwargs` accepts the other trainer fields. The callback preserves that order even when sandbox evaluations finish in a different order. See [TRL's custom reward interface](https://huggingface.co/docs/trl/v1.14.2/grpo_trainer#using-a-custom-reward-function) for the framework contract.

| Dataset column | Shape | Consumer |
| - | - | - |
| `task_id` | String identifying the task. | Task organization. |
| `prompt` | List of messages, each with string `role` and `content`. | Model generation. |
| `test_cases` | List of objects with JSON strings `input` and `output`. | Host reward callback; `input` is stdin and `output` is the trusted expectation. |

The callback returns a list of numeric rewards in `[0, 1]`, one per completion. Keeping each case's JSON as a string lets `Dataset.from_list` load records with different customer names without changing its column schema.

### Training configuration

The configuration uses your chosen model, two generations per prompt and eight training steps on a CUDA GPU. Model weights download to your machine. E2B supplies code execution, not the training GPU; no model-provider API key or vLLM service is required. The lockfile pins the example's dependencies, including TRL 1.14.2.

| Setting | Default | What it controls |
| - | - | - |
| `--model` | Required | Model on your host, with a chat template and useful baseline rewards for these tasks. |
| `--baseline-only` | Off | Evaluate both task splits without updating weights. |
| `num_generations` in `train.py` | `2` | Solutions sampled per prompt for relative rewards. Keep generation batch sizes compatible with TRL's grouping requirements. |
| `--max-steps` | `8` | Training updates. This is a short workflow example, not a guaranteed convergence target. |
| `--max-completion-length` | `256` | Maximum generated tokens. Too short a budget can truncate the program or its closing code fence. |
| `--sandbox-workers` | `2` | Persistent workers, each evaluating one candidate at a time. This does not set GPU batch size. |
| `--create-interval` | `1.0 s` | Creation pacing. Use at least 1 second on Hobby or 0.2 seconds on Pro, leaving capacity for other clients. |
| Process deadline / worker TTL | `2 s` / `600 s` | Per-test execution limit; worker TTL is renewed every 200 seconds while the pool lives. |

Change CLI settings with `train.py --model ... --max-steps ... --max-completion-length ...`; change generation counts and batch settings together in `train.py`. The default uses BF16 on supported CUDA devices and otherwise FP32, with gradient checkpointing and no vLLM requirement.

<Note>
  The reward smoke test verifies E2B execution and grading. The short training configuration is a starting point for your experiment; GPU memory and learning results depend on the model, generation settings and tasks. Inspect the reward signal before extending a run. The cookbook includes a slower CPU diagnostic for the training and checkpoint path.
</Note>

### Interpret held-out evaluation

The run saves model weights and tokenizer under `training_results/checkpoint/` and metrics in `training_results/metrics.json`. It evaluates separate tasks before and after training. Compare their mean rewards to check whether fitting the training tasks transfers to these held-out tasks.

In `metrics.json`, `before.eval_reward` and `after.eval_reward` are mean test-pass fractions over sampled completions. A mean reward of `0.5` does not mean half the programs are entirely correct: partial solutions contribute too. Compare the same held-out tasks and generation settings before and after training, and repeat measurements before drawing conclusions from a small improvement. `history` contains step-level training logs; a rising training reward can reflect fitting the training tasks rather than improvement on unseen tasks.

The held-out prompts in this example ask for input-token totals and error counts, rather than repeating the training instructions. For your own experiment, keep evaluation prompts and cases outside the training dataset.

Also inspect `frac_reward_zero_std` in the training entries of `history`. It is the fraction of prompt groups whose sampled solutions all receive the same reward. A value near `1.0` means those groups provide no relative reward signal. If rewards are all zero, inspect a generated program for missing fields, incomplete code or a task beyond the model's capability. If rewards are all one, try harder cases. More training steps alone do not fix either problem.

## Adapt the task

Edit `tasks.py` to define your instruction, JSON inputs and expected outputs. For example, this defines an output-token aggregation task using the existing helpers:

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
from tasks import case, task

new_task = task(
    "output-tokens",
    'Sum the integer "output_tokens" field per customer. '
    'Do not add the integer "input_tokens" field.',
    [
        case([], {}),
        case(
            [
                {"customer": "acme", "input_tokens": 50, "output_tokens": 4},
                {"customer": "acme", "input_tokens": 10, "output_tokens": 6},
                {"customer": "beta", "input_tokens": 20, "output_tokens": 0},
            ],
            {"acme": 10, "beta": 0},
        ),
    ],
)
```

Add the `task(...)` call to `TRAIN_TASKS` in `tasks.py`. The import line is only needed when the snippet runs as a separate file. Keep different evaluation prompts and cases in `EVAL_TASKS`. `case(...)` serializes inputs and outputs as JSON strings, keeping the dataset schema stable as customer names change.

The task helper already defines `customer` as a string in the prompt. This instruction adds `output_tokens` and `input_tokens` as integers. Name any additional input fields and their types in the instruction: the model sees only the prompt, not the test cases, so it must not have to guess field names.

Validate your cases with a known correct solution before training. To check the changed first task with `reward_smoke.py`, update its fixed candidate programs and expected scores together. Include empty input, repeated customers and values that expose shortcuts; the example above makes summing `input_tokens` visibly incorrect. If you change the stdin/stdout format, update `rewards.py` as well as the prompt and cases.

## Execution and failure behavior

### Sandbox pool and concurrency

With six valid completions and two workers, the pool evaluates candidates in waves and keeps the same workers for the next callback. This avoids creating six separate sandboxes and repeating creation on subsequent steps. Each candidate borrows one worker exclusively; extra candidates wait for a free worker. Pool size is separate from GPU batch size, and one pool serves one single-process trainer; distributed training is outside this recipe.

### Isolation and timeouts

The pool reuses workers across callbacks. Each test starts a fresh unprivileged Python runtime in private Linux mount/PID/network/IPC namespaces. Worker files are read-only; writable temporary directories and descendant processes disappear after the case. Test cases and candidates do not share writable state.

A two-second remote limit applies to each test. A trusted supervisor runs all cases in one SDK command with a deadline of `2 × case count + 10` seconds. Output exceeding 64 KiB fails grading.

The key and expected outputs stay on the host. Workers use secured access, disabled outbound internet and a fresh network namespace per test. The task needs only Python's standard library. See [internet access](/network/internet-access).

Every new worker first runs a preflight check of its isolation setup on the default template. The cookbook relies on Linux `unshare`, mount namespaces, `setpriv`, Python 3 and GNU `timeout`; unsupported templates fail rather than silently weaken isolation. This example is not a formally audited adversarial grading platform. Validate any changes to its template or execution boundaries.

### Failures and retries

Wrong output and candidate runtime failures score zero. Recoverable transport, unavailable-service, rate-limit or lost-worker errors get one evaluation retry on a replacement worker; worker creation gets up to two attempts. Candidate errors are not retried. Authentication/configuration, failed isolation setup, exhausted retries and unresolved cleanup abort the run instead of becoming false learning signals.

### Cleanup and cancellation

The trainer owns the pool and closes it in `finally`. Shutdown kills the workers and reconciles run metadata. Each worker has a 600-second kill-on-timeout TTL, renewed every 200 seconds while the pool is alive, including during model generation. Your plan's maximum continuous runtime still applies.

A stopped local coroutine alone does not prove remote execution stopped. Cancellation makes the pool unusable for further callbacks; the caller must close it to terminate its workers. If the host process exits without running cleanup, the last renewed TTL is the backstop.

### Account limits and cost

| Limit | Hobby | Pro baseline |
| - | - | - |
| Concurrent sandboxes | `20` | `100`, with add-ons for more. |
| Sandbox creations per second | `1` | `5` |
| Maximum continuous sandbox runtime | `1 hour` | `24 hours` |

Creation rate and concurrency are different limits, and both are shared across your project. On Hobby, two workers is a sensible start. For Pro workloads, you can raise `--sandbox-workers` and lower `--create-interval` within your shared capacity. The [cookbook README](https://github.com/e2b-dev/e2b-cookbook/tree/main/examples/trl-grpo-python#account-limits-and-cost) explains the pacing arithmetic. This is scaling guidance, not a verified 100-worker result.

### Measure execution and training overhead

The smoke prints pool metrics, and training saves them under `pool` in `metrics.json`. The [cookbook README](https://github.com/e2b-dev/e2b-cookbook/tree/main/examples/trl-grpo-python#measure-your-reward-stage) defines each counter. `worker_seconds_estimate` includes idle time while the GPU generates code or updates weights.

TRL's step history also records `e2b/reward_seconds` and `e2b/worker_seconds_since_previous_reward`. The latter includes idle time since the prior callback. TRL averages callback metrics within a logging step, so these are interval estimates rather than exclusive per-step billing allocations. The final pool total includes the remaining time through cleanup. Compare callback time with whole training step time before increasing the pool size.

Measure your own tasks and generation settings. If candidate evaluations spend time waiting for a worker, a larger pool may reduce callback time. If model generation or weight updates dominate the step, extra workers can mostly increase idle cost. To compare pool sizes, keep the model, completions and test cases the same and measure both callback time and total step time.

Estimate sandbox compute cost as **total worker-seconds × the per-worker resource rate**. Calculate that rate from your template's vCPU count and memory allocation using [current resource prices](https://e2b.dev/pricing). For a training interval, use `e2b/worker_seconds_since_previous_reward`; for the whole run, use the final `worker_seconds_estimate`. Include idle worker time: two workers waiting ten seconds for model generation add about twenty worker-seconds even without executing code. Model/GPU compute and the plan subscription are separate costs; confirm [billing limits](/billing) before scaling.

For a measured smoke example with its workload and configuration, see [Example smoke measurements](https://github.com/e2b-dev/e2b-cookbook/tree/main/examples/trl-grpo-python#example-smoke-measurements) in the cookbook.

## Troubleshoot a run

| Symptom | What to check |
| - | - |
| Missing key or authentication failure | Set `E2B_API_KEY` on the host and run with `--env-file .env`. A key in another shell or CLI login does not configure this command. |
| Default training refuses to start | The default requires CUDA. The cookbook has a slower `--cpu` diagnostic; it does not establish training quality or GPU memory requirements. |
| Smoke passes but model rewards are zero | Inspect actual model completions: does the prompt specify exact field names and types, and is the code complete and fenced? Check task difficulty, stdin/stdout format and completion length. Debug prints on stdout invalidate JSON. |
| `frac_reward_zero_std` stays near `1.0` | All sampled solutions for most prompts receive equal scores. Check whether tasks are too hard or too easy for the model, then review generation count and task diversity. |
| Out of GPU memory | Reduce model size or sequence length and review TRL batch settings. `--sandbox-workers` controls E2B work and does not reduce model memory. |
| Backend errors or account limits | Treat these as failed evaluations, not bad model solutions. Check credentials, service errors and account limits; reduce sandbox concurrency before retrying the run. |
| Cleanup fails or the process is interrupted | Inspect the logged run and sandbox IDs. Confirm remote state; a stopped local process alone does not confirm sandbox termination. The TTL is the fallback. |
| Training reward rises but held-out reward does not | Check for overfitting, repeated evaluation tasks and reward shortcuts. Increase the diversity of trusted cases before assuming a longer run will help. |

## Managed training with Fireworks AI

For GPU compute managed by a provider, see the [Fireworks AI Training API](https://docs.fireworks.ai/fine-tuning/training-api/introduction) and its [reinforcement learning cookbook](https://docs.fireworks.ai/fine-tuning/training-api/cookbook/rl). E2B supplies the code-execution environment; Fireworks supplies model computation through its training API. This cookbook uses TRL on your CUDA host. Combining its evaluator with a Fireworks training loop is a separate integration and requires adapting the API calls.

For full setup, runnable code and offline checks, see the [E2B cookbook example](https://github.com/e2b-dev/e2b-cookbook/tree/main/examples/trl-grpo-python).


# Vercel AI SDK
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/agents/vercel-ai-sdk

Run AI SDK agents and tools on E2B sandboxes with the @e2b/ai-sdk-sandbox provider.

The [AI SDK](https://ai-sdk.dev) is Vercel's TypeScript toolkit for building agents. AI SDK 7 introduces a sandbox interface — a standard surface (`run`, `spawn`, file I/O) that tools and [harness agents](https://ai-sdk.dev/v7/docs/ai-sdk-harnesses/overview) execute code against. [`@e2b/ai-sdk-sandbox`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@e2b/ai-sdk-sandbox) implements that interface on E2B: your agent's code runs in an isolated Firecracker microVM instead of your server, with a real Debian toolchain, pause/resume persistence, and outbound network controls.

The package is the E2B counterpart to `@ai-sdk/sandbox-vercel`. It is **experimental** and targets AI SDK 7.

## Install

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
npm install @e2b/ai-sdk-sandbox
```

Set `E2B_API_KEY` (get one from the <a href="https://console.e2b.dev/?tab=keys">console</a>), or pass `apiKey` in the settings.

## Quickstart

`createE2BSandbox()` configures the provider without reaching E2B; the sandbox is created when you call `createSession()`.

```typescript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
import { createE2BSandbox } from '@e2b/ai-sdk-sandbox'

const session = await createE2BSandbox({ template: 'base' }).createSession()

await session.writeTextFile({ path: 'hello.txt', content: 'hi from e2b' })

const { stdout } = await session.run({ command: 'cat hello.txt' })
console.log(stdout) // "hi from e2b"

await session.destroy()
```

The session also supports `readTextFile`, and `spawn` for long-running processes with streamed stdout/stderr and `kill()`.

## Hand tools a sandbox

`session.restricted()` returns the same sandbox narrowed to the tool-safe surface — file I/O, `run`, `spawn` — with the lifecycle and network controls (`stop`, `destroy`, `ports`, `getPortUrl`, `setNetworkPolicy`) removed. That is the security boundary: pass the restricted view to an AI SDK tool's `execute()` via `experimental_sandbox`, and keep the full session with your application. Code the model drives can execute commands, but it cannot kill the box or loosen its network policy.

```typescript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
import { generateText, tool } from 'ai'
import { anthropic } from '@ai-sdk/anthropic'
import { z } from 'zod'

const session = await createE2BSandbox({ template: 'base' }).createSession()
const sandbox = session.restricted()

const result = await generateText({
  model: anthropic('claude-sonnet-4-5'),
  prompt: 'Check which Python version is installed.',
  tools: {
    bash: tool({
      description: 'Run a shell command in an isolated E2B sandbox',
      inputSchema: z.object({ command: z.string() }),
      execute: async ({ command }) => {
        const { stdout, stderr, exitCode } = await sandbox.run({ command })
        return { stdout, stderr, exitCode }
      },
    }),
  },
})

console.log(result.text)
await session.destroy()
```

See the [harness docs](https://ai-sdk.dev/v7/docs/ai-sdk-harnesses/overview) for the `restricted()` contract and the `experimental_sandbox` wiring in harness-managed tools.

## Settings

Everything goes in the object passed to `createE2BSandbox(...)`. Any of E2B's `SandboxOpts` (`template`, `envs`, `metadata`, `network`, …) are forwarded straight through, and the provider adds two options of its own:

```typescript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
const provider = createE2BSandbox({
  template: 'base',                              // any E2B SandboxOpts
  envs: { NODE_ENV: 'production' },
  timeoutMs: 10 * 60 * 1000,                     // defaults to 30 min
  ports: [3000],                                 // provider option
  setupCommands: ['sudo npm install -g pnpm@9'], // provider option
})
```

| Option | Default | What it does |
| - | - | - |
| `ports` | `[]` | Ports advertised on `session.ports`. The harness bridge binds to the first one; E2B can expose any listening port through `getHost`, so this is the list the session advertises. |
| `setupCommands` | `[]` | Commands run once on a fresh sandbox, before the harness bootstraps. For setup you control ahead of time, a prebuilt [template](/template/quickstart) is lighter. |

Already have a sandbox? Pass it as `sandbox` to reuse it. The provider then never touches its lifecycle — `stop()` and `destroy()` become no-ops and cleanup stays yours.

```typescript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

const provider = createE2BSandbox({
  sandbox: await Sandbox.create({ timeoutMs: 10 * 60_000 }),
})
```

## Run a coding agent in the sandbox

The provider plugs into AI SDK harness agents: the harness adapter (Claude Code, Codex) runs *inside* the E2B sandbox, and the host talks to it over a WebSocket bridge on the first advertised port.

```typescript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
import { HarnessAgent } from '@ai-sdk/harness/agent'
import { createClaudeCode } from '@ai-sdk/harness-claude-code'
import { createE2BSandbox } from '@e2b/ai-sdk-sandbox'

const agent = new HarnessAgent({
  harness: createClaudeCode({
    auth: { anthropic: { apiKey: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY! } },
    startupTimeoutMs: 300_000, // first boot installs the CLI in the sandbox
  }),
  sandbox: createE2BSandbox({
    template: 'pnpm-base', // custom template with pnpm preinstalled
    ports: [4000],         // bridge port — the adapter binds to ports[0]
    timeoutMs: 30 * 60 * 1000,
  }),
})

const session = await agent.createSession()
const result = await agent.generate({
  session,
  prompt: 'Write fizzbuzz.js and run it with node. Show me the output.',
})
console.log(result.text)
await session.destroy()
```

The claude-code adapter installs its own pinned CLI and bridge inside the sandbox with pnpm, so pass a [template](/template/quickstart) with pnpm preinstalled.

## Pause and resume

`stop()` **pauses** the sandbox — filesystem and memory preserved — rather than killing it; `destroy()` removes it for good. Resume works off a session-id tag in the sandbox metadata, so pass a `sessionId` to `createSession` if you plan to resume, then reconnect with `resumeSession` — even from a different process.

```typescript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
const provider = createE2BSandbox({ template: 'base' })

const first = await provider.createSession({ sessionId: 'demo-1' })
await first.writeTextFile({ path: 'state.txt', content: 'survived the pause' })
await first.stop() // pause (resumable)

// later — possibly a different process
const resumed = await provider.resumeSession({ sessionId: 'demo-1' })
console.log(await resumed.readTextFile({ path: 'state.txt' })) // "survived the pause"
await resumed.destroy()
```

## Network policy

Outbound access can be tightened or loosened on a running sandbox — from the full session only, never from the restricted view:

```typescript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
await session.setNetworkPolicy({
  mode: 'custom',
  allowedHosts: ['api.example.com'],
  deniedCIDRs: ['169.254.169.254/32'],
})
```

Hostname rules apply to HTTP(S) traffic only; use CIDR rules for other protocols. See [internet access](/network/internet-access).

## Good to know

* `run` and `spawn` switch off E2B's 60-second per-command timeout, so long builds and background servers don't get cut off. The overall sandbox `timeoutMs` still applies.
* Relative paths in file operations and commands resolve against the session's working directory (`/home/user`).
* The default sandbox timeout is 30 minutes; pass `timeoutMs` to change it.

# Code contexts
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/code-interpreting/contexts



Run code in different code execution contexts with E2B Code Interpreter SDK. This allows you to parallelize code execution by running code in different contexts at the same time.

By default the code is run in the Sandbox's default code execution context. You can change it by passing the `context` parameter to the `runCode()` method in JavaScript or `run_code()` in Python.

## Create a new Code Context

You can create a new code execution context by calling the `createCodeContext()` method in JavaScript or `create_code_context()` in Python and passing the context parameters.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from '@e2b/code-interpreter'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create()
  const context = await sandbox.createCodeContext({
    cwd: '/home/user',
    language: 'python',
    requestTimeoutMs: 60_000,
  })

  const result = await sandbox.runCode('print("Hello, world!")', { context })
  console.log(result)
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b_code_interpreter import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create()
  context = sandbox.create_code_context(
      cwd='/home/user',
      language='python',
      request_timeout=60_000,
  )
  result = sandbox.run_code('print("Hello, world!")', context=context)
  print(result)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## List active Code Contexts

You can list active code execution contexts by calling the `listCodeContexts()` method in JavaScript or `list_code_contexts()` in Python. This will return a list of active code execution contexts.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from '@e2b/code-interpreter'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create()
  const contexts = await sandbox.listCodeContexts()
  console.log(contexts)
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b_code_interpreter import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create()
  contexts = sandbox.list_code_contexts()
  print(contexts)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Restart a Code Context

You can restart an active code execution context by calling the `restartCodeContext()` method in JavaScript or `restart_code_context()` in Python and passing the context object or context ID.
Restarting a context will clear its state and start a new code execution session in the same context.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from '@e2b/code-interpreter'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create()
  const context = await sandbox.createCodeContext({
    cwd: '/home/user',
    language: 'python',
    requestTimeoutMs: 60_000,
  })

  // using context object
  await sandbox.restartCodeContext(context)

  // using context ID
  await sandbox.restartCodeContext(context.contextId)
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b_code_interpreter import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create()
  context = sandbox.create_code_context(
      cwd='/home/user',
      language='python',
      request_timeout=60_000,
  )

  # using context object
  restarted_context = sandbox.restart_code_context(context)
  print(restarted_context)

  # using context ID
  restarted_context = sandbox.restart_code_context(context.contextId)
  print(restarted_context)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Remove a Code Context

You can remove an active code execution context by calling the `removeCodeContext()` method in JavaScript or `remove_code_context()` in Python and passing the context object or context ID.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from '@e2b/code-interpreter'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create()
  const context = await sandbox.createCodeContext({
      cwd: '/home/user',
      language: 'python',
      requestTimeoutMs: 60_000,
  })

  // using context object
  await sandbox.removeCodeContext(context)

  // using context ID
  await sandbox.removeCodeContext(context.contextId)
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b_code_interpreter import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create()
  context = sandbox.create_code_context(
      cwd='/home/user',
      language='python',
      request_timeout=60_000,
  )

  # using context object
  sandbox.remove_code_context(context)

  # using context ID
  sandbox.remove_code_context(context.contextId)
  ```
</CodeGroup>


# Interactive charts
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/code-interpreting/create-charts-visualizations/interactive-charts



E2B also allows you to create interactive charts with custom styling.

E2B automatically detects charts when executing Python code with `runCode()` in JavaScript or `run_code()` in Python. The Python code must include Matplotlib charts.

When a chart is detected, E2B sends the data of the chart back to the client. You can access the chart in the `execution.results` array where each item is a `Result` object with the `chart` property.

<Note>
  Try out [AI Data Analyst](https://github.com/e2b-dev/ai-analyst/) - a Next.js app that uses E2B to create interactive charts.
</Note>

Here's a simple example of bar chart:

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox, BarChart } from '@e2b/code-interpreter'

  const code = `
  import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

  # Prepare data
  authors = ['Author A', 'Author B', 'Author C', 'Author D']
  sales = [100, 200, 300, 400]

  # Create and customize the bar chart
  plt.figure(figsize=(10, 6))
  plt.bar(authors, sales, label='Books Sold', color='blue')
  plt.xlabel('Authors')
  plt.ylabel('Number of Books Sold')
  plt.title('Book Sales by Authors')

  # Display the chart
  plt.tight_layout()
  plt.show()
  `

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create()
  const result = await sandbox.runCode(code)
  const chart = result.results[0].chart as BarChart

  console.log('Type:', chart.type)
  console.log('Title:', chart.title)
  console.log('X Label:', chart.x_label)
  console.log('Y Label:', chart.y_label)
  console.log('X Unit:', chart.x_unit)
  console.log('Y Unit:', chart.y_unit)
  console.log('Elements:', chart.elements)
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b_code_interpreter import Sandbox

  code = """
  import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

  # Prepare data
  authors = ['Author A', 'Author B', 'Author C', 'Author D']
  sales = [100, 200, 300, 400]

  # Create and customize the bar char
  plt.figure(figsize=(10, 6))
  plt.bar(authors, sales, label='Books Sold', color='blue')
  plt.xlabel('Authors')
  plt.ylabel('Number of Books Sold')
  plt.title('Book Sales by Authors')

  # Display the chart
  plt.tight_layout()
  plt.show()
  """

  sandbox = Sandbox.create()
  execution = sandbox.run_code(code)
  chart = execution.results[0].chart

  print('Type:', chart.type)
  print('Title:', chart.title)
  print('X Label:', chart.x_label)
  print('Y Label:', chart.y_label)
  print('X Unit:', chart.x_unit)
  print('Y Unit:', chart.y_unit)
  print('Elements:')
  for element in chart.elements:
      print('\n  Label:', element.label)
      print('  Value:', element.value)
      print('  Group:', element.group)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

The code above will output the following:

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  Type: bar
  Title: Book Sales by Authors
  X Label: Authors
  Y Label: Number of Books Sold
  X Unit: null
  Y Unit: null
  Elements: [
    {
      label: "Author A",
      group: "Books Sold",
      value: 100,
    }, {
      label: "Author B",
      group: "Books Sold",
      value: 200,
    }, {
      label: "Author C",
      group: "Books Sold",
      value: 300,
    }, {
      label: "Author D",
      group: "Books Sold",
      value: 400,
    }
  ]
  ```

  ```bash Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  Type: ChartType.BAR
  Title: Book Sales by Authors
  X Label: Authors
  Y Label: Number of Books Sold
  X Unit: None
  Y Unit: None
  Elements:

    Label: Author A
    Value: 100.0
    Group: Books Sold

    Label: Author B
    Value: 200.0
    Group: Books Sold

    Label: Author C
    Value: 300.0
    Group: Books Sold

    Label: Author D
    Value: 400.0
    Group: Books Sold
  ```
</CodeGroup>

You can send this data to your frontend to create an interactive chart with your favorite charting library.

# Static charts
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/code-interpreting/create-charts-visualizations/static-charts



Every time you run Python code with `runCode()` in JavaScript or `run_code()` method in Python, the code is executed in a headless Jupyter server inside the sandbox.

E2B automatically detects any plots created with Matplotlib and sends them back to the client as images encoded in the base64 format.
These images are directly accesible on the `result` items in the `execution.results` array.

Here's how to retrieve a static chart from the executed Python code that contains a Matplotlib plot.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from '@e2b/code-interpreter'
  import fs from 'fs'

  const codeToRun = `
  import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

  plt.plot([1, 2, 3, 4])
  plt.ylabel('some numbers')
  plt.show()
  `
  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create()

  // Run the code inside the sandbox
  const execution = await sandbox.runCode(codeToRun)

   // There's only one result in this case - the plot displayed with `plt.show()`
  const firstResult = execution.results[0]

  if (firstResult.png) {
    // Save the png to a file. The png is in base64 format.
    fs.writeFileSync('chart.png', firstResult.png, { encoding: 'base64' })
    console.log('Chart saved as chart.png')
  }
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import base64
  from e2b_code_interpreter import Sandbox

  code_to_run = """
  import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

  plt.plot([1, 2, 3, 4])
  plt.ylabel('some numbers')
  plt.show()
  """

  sandbox = Sandbox.create()

  # Run the code inside the sandbox
  execution = sandbox.run_code(code_to_run)

  # There's only one result in this case - the plot displayed with `plt.show()`
  first_result = execution.results[0]

# Customize the template
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/code-interpreting/customize-template

Extend the Code Interpreter sandbox or build the production template from source

The Code Interpreter SDK runs on the public `code-interpreter-v1` sandbox template. You can customize it in two ways:

1. [Create a custom template](#create-a-custom-template) that extends `code-interpreter-v1` with extra packages or a different runtime — this is the recommended approach for most use cases.
2. [Build the production template](#build-the-production-template) directly from the [`code-interpreter` repository](https://github.com/e2b-dev/code-interpreter) — useful when contributing to the SDK or building the official `code-interpreter-v1` template yourself.

***

## Create a custom template

Use this when you need extra preinstalled packages or a different runtime. Your template builds on top of `code-interpreter-v1`, so everything the Code Interpreter SDK relies on stays in place.

### 1. Install the E2B SDK

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  npm install e2b dotenv
  ```

  ```bash Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  pip install e2b python-dotenv
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### 2. Create a template file

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  // template.ts
  import { Template } from 'e2b';

  export const template = Template().fromTemplate("code-interpreter-v1");
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  # template.py
  from e2b import Template

  template = Template().from_template("code-interpreter-v1")
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### 3. Create a build script

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  // build.ts
  import "dotenv/config";
  import { Template, defaultBuildLogger } from 'e2b';
  import { template } from './template';

  async function main() {
    await Template.build(template, 'code-interpreter-custom', {
      cpuCount: 2,
      memoryMB: 2048,
      onBuildLogs: defaultBuildLogger(),
    });
  }

  main().catch(console.error);
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  # build.py
  from dotenv import load_dotenv
  from e2b import Template, default_build_logger
  from template import template

  load_dotenv()

  Template.build(
      template,
      alias="code-interpreter-custom",
      cpu_count=2,
      memory_mb=2048,
      on_build_logs=default_build_logger(),
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### 4. Set your environment variables

Create a `.env` file with your API key (loaded by `dotenv` / `load_dotenv()`):

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
E2B_API_KEY=e2b_***
```

### 5. Build the template

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  npx tsx build.ts
  ```

  ```bash Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  python build.py
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### 6. Use the custom template

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from '@e2b/code-interpreter'

  const sbx = await Sandbox.create("code-interpreter-custom")
  const execution = await sbx.runCode("print('Hello, World!')")
  console.log(execution.logs.stdout)
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b_code_interpreter import Sandbox

  sbx = Sandbox.create("code-interpreter-custom")
  execution = sbx.run_code("print('Hello, World!')")
  print(execution.logs.stdout)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Note>
  See [Install custom packages](/quickstart/install-custom-packages) for preinstalling specific Python and Node.js packages with `pip` / `npm`.
</Note>

***

## Build the production template

To build the official `code-interpreter-v1` template from the [`code-interpreter` repository](https://github.com/e2b-dev/code-interpreter), use `build_prod.py`. This is the script CI and releases run, and it's the path to take when you're contributing to the SDK or want to rebuild the production template yourself.

### 1. Clone the repository

The template lives in the `template/` directory — run the remaining steps from there.

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
git clone https://github.com/e2b-dev/code-interpreter.git
cd code-interpreter/template
```

### 2. Install the build dependencies

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
```

### 3. Provide your credentials

Create a `.env` file with your API key:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
E2B_API_KEY=e2b_***
```

### 4. Build the template

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
python build_prod.py
```

To force a clean rebuild that ignores the layer cache, set `SKIP_CACHE=true`:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
SKIP_CACHE=true python build_prod.py
```


# Streaming
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/code-interpreting/streaming



E2B Code Interpreter SDK allows you to stream the output, and results when executing code in the sandbox.

## Stream `stdout` and `stderr`

When using the `runCode()` method in JavaScript or `run_code()` in Python you can pass `onStdout`/`on_stdout` and `onStderr`/`on_stderr` callbacks to handle the output.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript highlight={15-17} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from '@e2b/code-interpreter'

  const codeToRun = `
    import time
    import sys
    print("This goes first to stdout")
    time.sleep(3)
    print("This goes later to stderr", file=sys.stderr)
    time.sleep(3)
    print("This goes last")
  `
  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create()
  sandbox.runCode(codeToRun, {
    // Use `onError` to handle runtime code errors
    onError: error => console.error('error:', error),
    onStdout: data => console.log('stdout:', data),
    onStderr: data => console.error('stderr:', data),
  })
  ```

  ```python Python highlight={17-19} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b_code_interpreter import Sandbox

  code_to_run = """
    import time
    import sys
    print("This goes first to stdout")
    time.sleep(3)
    print("This goes later to stderr", file=sys.stderr)
    time.sleep(3)
    print("This goes last")
  """

  sandbox = Sandbox.create()
  sandbox.run_code(
    code_to_run,
    # Use `on_error` to handle runtime code errors
    on_error=lambda error: print('error:', error),
    on_stdout=lambda data: print('stdout:', data),
    on_stderr=lambda data: print('stderr:', data),
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

The code above will print the following:

<CodeGroup>
  ```javascript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  stdout: {
    error: false,
    line: "This goes first to stdout\n",
    timestamp: 1729049666861000,
  }
  stderr: {
    error: true,
    line: "This goes later to stderr\n",
    timestamp: 1729049669924000,
  }
  stdout: {
    error: false,
    line: "This goes last\n",
    timestamp: 1729049672664000,
  }
  ```

  ```bash Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  stdout: This goes first to stdout

  stderr: This goes later to stderr

  stdout: This goes last
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Stream `results`

When using the `runCode()` method in JavaScript or `run_code()` in Python you can pass `onResults`/`on_results` callback
to receive results from the sandbox like charts, tables, text, and more.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript highlight={20} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  const codeToRun = `
  import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

  # Prepare data
  categories = ['Category A', 'Category B', 'Category C', 'Category D']
  values = [10, 20, 15, 25]

  # Create and customize the bar chart
  plt.figure(figsize=(10, 6))
  plt.bar(categories, values, color='green')
  plt.xlabel('Categories')
  plt.ylabel('Values')
  plt.title('Values by Category')

  # Display the chart
  plt.show()
  `
  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create()
  await sandbox.runCode(codeToRun, {
    onResult: result => console.log('result:', result),
  })
  ```

  ```python Python highlight={24} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b_code_interpreter import Sandbox

  code_to_run = """
  import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

  # Prepare data
  categories = ['Category A', 'Category B', 'Category C', 'Category D']
  values = [10, 20, 15, 25]

  # Create and customize the bar chart
  plt.figure(figsize=(10, 6))
  plt.bar(categories, values, color='green')
  plt.xlabel('Categories')
  plt.ylabel('Values')
  plt.title('Values by Category')

  # Display the chart
  plt.show()
  """

  sandbox = Sandbox.create()
  sandbox.run_code(
    code_to_run,
    on_result=lambda result: print('result:', result),
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

# Overview
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/mcp-gateway

Connect to 200+ tools through the Model Context Protocol

E2B provides a batteries-included MCP gateway that runs inside sandboxes, giving you type-safe access to 200+ MCP tools from the [Docker MCP Catalog](https://hub.docker.com/mcp) or [custom MCPs](/mcp-gateway/custom-servers) through a unified interface. This integration gives developers instant access to tools like [Browserbase](https://www.browserbase.com/), [Exa](https://exa.ai/), [Notion](https://www.notion.so/), [Stripe](https://stripe.com/), or [GitHub](https://github.com/).

The [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/docs/getting-started/intro) is an open standard for connecting AI models to external tools and data sources. E2B sandboxes provide an ideal environment for running MCP tools, giving AI full access to an internet-connected Linux machine where it can safely install packages, write files, run terminal commands, and AI-generated code.

## Blazing-fast, asynchronous for seamless filesystem operations.

The Rust MCP Filesystem is a high-performance, asynchronous, and lightweight Model Context Protocol (MCP) server built in Rust for secure and efficient filesystem operations. Designed with security in mind, it operates in read-only mode by default and restricts clients from updating allowed directories via MCP Roots unless explicitly enabled, ensuring robust protection against unauthorized access. Leveraging asynchronous I/O, it delivers blazingly fast performance with a minimal resource footprint. Optimized for token efficiency, the Rust MCP Filesystem enables large language models (LLMs) to precisely target searches and edits within specific sections of large files and restrict operations by file size range, making it ideal for efficient file exploration, automation, and system integration.

# Custom servers
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/mcp-gateway/custom-servers

Use custom MCP servers from GitHub repositories

In addition to the 200+ pre-built MCP servers from the [Docker MCP Catalog](https://hub.docker.com/mcp), you can run custom MCP servers directly from public GitHub repositories.

## How it works

When you specify a GitHub repository, E2B will:

1. Clone the repository into the sandbox
2. Run the `installCmd` (optional) to install dependencies
3. Run the `runCmd` to start the MCP server with stdio transport

The `runCmd` must start an MCP server that follows the [MCP specification](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2025-06-18) and communicates via stdio (standard input/output).

## Using a custom MCP server

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import Sandbox from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create({
      mcp: {
          'github/modelcontextprotocol/servers': {
              installCmd: 'npm install',
              runCmd: 'sudo npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem /root',
          },
      },
  });
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox
  import os

  sbx = Sandbox.create(
      mcp={
          "github/modelcontextprotocol/servers": {
                  "install_cmd": "npm install",
                  "run_cmd": "sudo npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem /root",
          },
      }
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Configuration

<ParamField type="string">
  Optional command to run before starting the MCP server. Use this to install dependencies (e.g., `npm install`, `pip install -r requirements.txt`).
</ParamField>

<ParamField type="string">
  Command to start the MCP server. Must launch a stdio-enabled MCP server.
</ParamField>

<Note>
  **Important for npx-based servers:** Always include `installCmd: 'npm install'` (or equivalent) when using `npx` in your `runCmd`. Without installing dependencies first, npx will try to use the local repository and fail.
</Note>

## Troubleshooting

If your custom MCP server doesn't work as expected:

1. Explore the sandbox either via the <a href="https://console.e2b.dev/sign-in?signup_source=docs_console">console</a> or by connecting to it via `e2b connect <sandbox-id>`
2. Check the gateway log file with `sudo cat /var/log/mcp-gateway/gateway.log`.


# Custom templates
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/mcp-gateway/custom-templates

Use MCP servers with custom sandbox templates

You can prepull MCP server Docker images during template build time to significantly improve runtime performance.

## How it works

When you build a template with prepulled MCP servers, the Docker images for those servers are downloaded and cached during the build process. This means when you create a sandbox from that template, the MCP servers are ready to use immediately without waiting for image downloads.

<Info>
  You must use the MCP gateway enabled template (`mcp-gateway`) as your base template to use this feature.
</Info>

## Building a template with MCP servers

Use the `addMcpServer()` method (TypeScript) or `add_mcp_server()` method (Python) to prepull MCP server images during template build. You can pass a single server or an array of servers.

The server names (like `"browserbase"` and `"exa"`) correspond to the keys defined in the [Available Servers](/mcp-gateway/available-servers) documentation.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import "dotenv/config";
  import { Template, defaultBuildLogger } from 'e2b';

  export const template = Template()
    .fromTemplate("mcp-gateway")
    .addMcpServer(["browserbase", "exa"]);

  await Template.build(template, 'my-mcp-gateway', {
    cpuCount: 8,
    memoryMB: 8192,
    onBuildLogs: defaultBuildLogger(),
  });
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from dotenv import load_dotenv
  from e2b import Template, default_build_logger

  load_dotenv()

  template = (
      Template()
      .from_template("mcp-gateway")
      .add_mcp_server(["browserbase", "exa"])
  )

  Template.build(
      template,
      'my-mcp-gateway',
      cpu_count=8,
      memory_mb=8192,
      on_build_logs=default_build_logger(),
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Using the template

Once built, create sandboxes from your template. You still need to provide the configuration for each MCP server.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b';

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create({
      template: "my-mcp-gateway",
      mcp: {
          browserbase: {
              apiKey: process.env.BROWSERBASE_API_KEY!,
              geminiApiKey: process.env.GEMINI_API_KEY!,
              projectId: process.env.BROWSERBASE_PROJECT_ID!,
          },
          exa: {
              apiKey: process.env.EXA_API_KEY!,
          },
      },
  });

  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox
  import os

  sbx = Sandbox.create(
      template="my-mcp-gateway",
      mcp={
          "browserbase": {
              "apiKey": os.getenv("BROWSERBASE_API_KEY"),
              "geminiApiKey": os.getenv("GEMINI_API_KEY"),
              "projectId": os.getenv("BROWSERBASE_PROJECT_ID"),
          },
          "exa": {
              "apiKey": os.getenv("EXA_API_KEY"),
          },
      }
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

# Quickstart
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/mcp-gateway/quickstart

Get started with MCP integration

You can connect to the MCPs running inside the sandbox both from outside and inside the sandbox.

## From outside the sandbox

To connect to the MCPs running inside the sandbox, use the `sandbox.getMcpUrl()` in JavaScript and `sandbox.get_mcp_url()` in Python.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import Sandbox from 'e2b'
  import { Client } from '@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/index.js';
  import { StreamableHTTPClientTransport } from '@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/streamableHttp.js';

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create({
      mcp: {
          browserbase: {
              apiKey: process.env.BROWSERBASE_API_KEY!,
              geminiApiKey: process.env.GEMINI_API_KEY!,
              projectId: process.env.BROWSERBASE_PROJECT_ID!,
          },
          exa: {
              apiKey: process.env.EXA_API_KEY!,
          },
          notion: {
              internalIntegrationToken: process.env.NOTION_API_KEY!,
          },
      },
  });

  const client = new Client({
      name: 'e2b-mcp-client',
      version: '1.0.0'
  });

  const transport = new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(
      new URL(sandbox.getMcpUrl()), 
      {
          requestInit: {
              headers: {
                  'Authorization': `Bearer ${await sandbox.getMcpToken()}`
              }
          }
      }
  );

  await client.connect(transport);

  const tools = await client.listTools();
  console.log('Available tools:', tools.tools.map(t => t.name));

  await client.close();
  await sandbox.kill();
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import os
  import dotenv
  dotenv.load_dotenv()
  from e2b import AsyncSandbox
  import asyncio
  from datetime import timedelta
  from mcp.client.session import ClientSession
  from mcp.client.streamable_http import streamablehttp_client

  async def main():
      sandbox = await AsyncSandbox.create(
          mcp={            
              "browserbase": {
                  "apiKey": os.environ["BROWSERBASE_API_KEY"],
                  "geminiApiKey": os.environ["GEMINI_API_KEY"],

                  "internalIntegrationToken": os.environ["NOTION_API_KEY"],

      )

      async with streamablehttp_client(
          url=sandbox.get_mcp_url(),

          async with ClientSession(read_stream, write_stream) as session:
              await session.initialize()
              tools = await session.list_tools()

      await sandbox.kill()

  if __name__ == "__main__":
      asyncio.run(main())
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## From inside the sandbox

If you need to access the MCP gateway from within the sandbox itself, it's available at:

```
http://localhost:50005/mcp
```

You'll need to include the Authorization header with the MCP token when making requests from inside the sandbox. How that is added depends on the MCP client you use:

## Claude

```
claude mcp add --transport http e2b-mcp-gateway <url goes here> --header "Authorization: Bearer <token goes here>"
```

## OpenAI Agents

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}

      url: mcpUrl,
      name: 'E2B MCP Gateway',
      requestInit: {
          headers: {
              'Authorization': `Bearer ${await sandbox.getMcpToken()}`
          }
      },
  });
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import asyncio
  import os
  from e2b import AsyncSandbox
  from agents.mcp import MCPServerStreamableHttp

  async def main():
      async with MCPServerStreamableHttp(
          name="e2b-mcp-client",
          params={
              "url": sandbox.get_mcp_url(),
              "headers": {"Authorization": f"Bearer {await sandbox.get_mcp_token()}"},
          },
      ) as server:
          tools = await server.list_tools()
          print("Available tools:", [t.name for t in tools])

      # Clean up
      await sandbox.kill()

  asyncio.run(main())
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Official MCP client

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript Typescript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Client } from '@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/index.js';
  import { StreamableHTTPClientTransport } from '@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/streamableHttp.js';

  const client = new Client({
      name: 'e2b-mcp-client',
      version: '1.0.0'
  });

  const transport = new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(
      new URL(sandbox.getMcpUrl()), 
      {

  await client.connect(transport);
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import asyncio
  from datetime import timedelta
  from mcp.client.session import ClientSession
  from mcp.client.streamable_http import streamablehttp_client

      await sandbox.kill()

  if __name__ == "__main__":
      asyncio.run(main())

  ```
</CodeGroup>

This list is not exhaustive. You can find more examples in the [E2B Cookbook](https://github.com/e2b-dev/e2b-cookbook).

## Debugging with MCP Inspector

The [MCP Inspector](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/inspector) is a useful tool for debugging and testing your MCP server setup. Get the command to run:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector --transport http --url <your-mcp-url> --header "Authorization: Bearer ${mcpToken}"
```

Run the command in your terminal. This will open a web interface where you can:

* Browse available tools
* Test tool calls with different parameters

# Client
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/sdk-reference/js-sdk/v2.56.0/client



### E2B

E2B client with an explicitly bound connection configuration.

The resources exposed by the client (E2B.Sandbox,
E2B.Volume, E2B.Template, E2B.Secret) behave exactly
like the top-level `Sandbox` / `Volume` / `Template` / `Secret` exports,
except the options passed to the client are used as the defaults instead of
the environment variables.
Per-call options still take precedence over the client's options.

Multiple clients are fully isolated from each other and from the top-level
env-configured exports.

#### Example

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
import { E2B } from 'e2b'

const client = new E2B({ apiKey: 'e2b_...', domain: 'e2b.dev' })

const sandbox = await client.Sandbox.create()
const volumes = await client.Volume.list()
await client.Template.build(client.Template().fromPythonImage('3'), 'my-env')
```

#### Constructors

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
new E2B(opts?: E2BClientOpts): E2B
```

Create a new client with the connection options bound to it.

###### Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Description |
| - | - | - |
| `opts`? | `E2BClientOpts` | connection options used as the defaults for every call made through this client's resource classes. |

###### Returns

`E2B`

#### Properties

| Property | Modifier | Type | Description |
| - | - | - | - |
|  `Sandbox` | `readonly` | *typeof* `Sandbox` | `Sandbox` class bound to this client's connection configuration. |
|  `Secret` | `readonly` | *typeof* `Secret` | `Secret` class bound to this client's connection configuration. |
|  `Template` | `readonly` | `CallableTemplate`\<*typeof* `TemplateBase`> | `Template` bound to this client's connection configuration. Both the builder (`client.Template()`) and the statics (`client.Template.build(...)`, `client.Template.exists(...)`, …) work like the top-level `Template`. |
|  `Volume` | `readonly` | *typeof* `Volume` | `Volume` class bound to this client's connection configuration. |

## Type Aliases

### E2BClientOpts

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
type E2BClientOpts = Omit<ConnectionOpts, "signal">;
```

Connection options bound to an E2B client.

Same as ConnectionOpts without `signal`, which cancels a single
request and therefore can only be passed per call.

***

### SandboxNotRunningError

Thrown when the sandbox is not running anymore: the proxy in front of it
answered a request (or the health probe run after a request failed at the
connection level) with the sandbox not found — it was killed, paused or
reached its timeout. Retrying the request will not help; create or resume a
sandbox.

The split from `SandboxUnreachableError` is only as good as the proxy's answer
and the health probe: a sandbox that is gone but could not be asked about is a
`SandboxUnreachableError`. `SandboxNotFoundError` is only raised by the control
plane API (e.g. `Sandbox.connect()` to a sandbox that does not exist).

Subclass of `TimeoutError`, which this case surfaced as before.

#### Constructors

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
new SandboxNotRunningError(message: string, options?: ErrorOptions): SandboxNotRunningError
```

###### Parameters

| Parameter | Type |
| - | - |

###### Returns

`SandboxNotRunningError`

#### Properties

| Property | Type | Description | Inherited from |
| - | - | - | - |
|  `statusCode?` | `number` | HTTP status of the API response that produced this error, when there was one. | `TimeoutError`.`statusCode` |

***

### SandboxUnreachableError

Thrown when the sandbox could not be reached while it is not confirmed to be
stopped: the proxy in front of the sandbox reports it running but envd's port
not open (e.g. the sandbox's network is down), the proxy or envd answered
with an unavailability the health probe could not resolve (e.g. the connection
to the sandbox was lost mid-stream while the probe found it running), or a
request failed at the connection level (the connection could not be
established or was dropped mid-request) and the follow-up health probe got
no answer from the sandbox either. A sandbox confirmed stopped (or paused) is
a `SandboxNotRunningError` — but only as far as the probe can tell: a sandbox
that is gone and could not be asked about surfaces here.

This usually means the sandbox's network is down, envd inside it is not up
(yet), or a network issue between the client and the sandbox. Check the
sandbox state with `Sandbox.getInfo()`.

Subclass of `TimeoutError`, which these cases surfaced as before.

#### Constructors

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
new SandboxUnreachableError(message: string, options?: ErrorOptions): SandboxUnreachableError
```

###### Parameters

| Parameter | Type |
| - | - |
| `message` | `string` |
| `options`? | `ErrorOptions` |

###### Returns

`SandboxUnreachableError`

#### Properties

| Property | Type | Description | Inherited from |
| - | - | - | - |
|  `statusCode?` | `number` | HTTP status of the API response that produced this error, when there was one. | `TimeoutError`.`statusCode` |

***

### SecretError

#### Constructors

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
new SecretError(message: string): SecretError
```

###### Parameters

| Parameter | Type |

| `message` | `string` |

###### Returns

`SecretError`

***

### SecretNotFoundError

Thrown when a secret is not found.

#### Constructors

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
new SecretNotFoundError(message: string): SecretNotFoundError
```

###### Parameters

| Parameter | Type |
| - | - |
| `message` | `string` |

###### Returns

`SecretNotFoundError`

***

### ServiceBusyError

Thrown when the API refused the operation because the service is
temporarily busy (HTTP 503): no capacity to place a sandbox right now, or
the node running the sandbox declined a request it cannot serve yet.

Nothing was changed by the refused call: for example a refused pause
leaves the sandbox running with its state intact, so the same call can be
retried after a short wait.

Like AuthenticationError and unlike the other API errors, this is
not a SandboxError: it is raised for every 503 whatever the
operation, so catch it explicitly.

#### Constructors

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
new ServiceBusyError(message: string): ServiceBusyError
```

###### Parameters

| Parameter | Type |
| - | - |
| `message` | `string` |

###### Returns

`ServiceBusyError`

#### Properties

| Property | Modifier | Type | Default value | Description |
| - | - | - | - | - |
|  `statusCode` | `readonly` | `503` | `503` | HTTP status of the API response: always 503. |

#### Constructors

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
new TemplateError(message: string, stackTrace?: string): TemplateError
```

###### Parameters

| Parameter | Type |

#### Properties

| Property | Type | Description | Inherited from |
| - | - | - | - |
|  `statusCode?` | `number` | HTTP status of the API response that produced this error, when there was one. | `SandboxError`.`statusCode` |

***

### TimeoutError

Thrown when a timeout error occurs.

The \[unavailable] error type is caused by sandbox timeout.

The \[canceled] error type is caused by exceeding request timeout.

The \[deadline\_exceeded] error type is caused by exceeding the timeout for command execution, watch, etc.

The \[unknown] error type is sometimes caused by the sandbox timeout when the request is not processed correctly.

# Sandbox
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/sdk-reference/js-sdk/v2.56.0/sandbox



### Sandbox

E2B cloud sandbox is a secure and isolated cloud environment.

The sandbox allows you to:

* Access Linux OS
* Create, list, and delete files and directories
* Run commands
* Run isolated code
* Access the internet

Check docs here.

Use Sandbox.create to create a new sandbox.

#### Example

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

const sandbox = await Sandbox.create()
```

#### Properties

| Property | Modifier | Type | Description |
| - | - | - | - |
|  `commands` | `readonly` | `Commands` | Module for running commands in the sandbox |
|  `files` | `readonly` | `Filesystem` | Module for interacting with the sandbox filesystem |
|  ~~`git`~~ | `readonly` | `Git` | Module for running git operations in the sandbox **Deprecated** Run git with `sandbox.commands.run()` instead. The git module will be removed in the next major version. |
|  `pty` | `readonly` | `Pty` | Module for interacting with the sandbox pseudo-terminals |
|  `sandboxDomain` | `readonly` | `string` | Domain where the sandbox is hosted. |
|  `sandboxId` | `readonly` | `string` | Unique identifier of the sandbox. |
|  `trafficAccessToken?` | `readonly` | `string` | Traffic access token for accessing sandbox services with restricted public traffic. |

#### Methods

### ~~betaPause()~~

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
betaPause(opts?: SandboxPauseOpts): Promise<boolean>
```

###### Parameters

| Parameter | Type |
| - | - |
| `opts`? | `SandboxPauseOpts` |

###### Returns

`Promise`\<`boolean`>

###### Deprecated

Use Sandbox.pause instead.

### connect()

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
connect(opts?: SandboxConnectOpts): Promise<Sandbox>
```

Connect to a sandbox. If the sandbox is paused, it will be automatically resumed.
Sandbox must be either running or be paused.

With sandbox ID you can connect to the same sandbox from different places or environments (serverless functions, etc).

###### Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Description |
| - | - | - |
| `opts`? | `SandboxConnectOpts` | connection options. |

###### Returns

`Promise`\<`Sandbox`>

A running sandbox instance

###### Example

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
const sandbox = await Sandbox.create()
await sandbox.betaPause()

// Connect to the same sandbox.
const sameSandbox = await sandbox.connect()
```

### createSnapshot()

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
createSnapshot(opts?: CreateSnapshotOpts): Promise<SnapshotInfo>
```

Create a snapshot of the sandbox's current state.

The sandbox will be paused while the snapshot is being created.
The snapshot can be used to create new sandboxes with the same filesystem and state.
Snapshots are persistent and survive sandbox deletion.

Use the returned `snapshotId` with `Sandbox.create(snapshotId)` to create a new sandbox from the snapshot.

###### Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Description |
| - | - | - |
| `opts`? | `CreateSnapshotOpts` | snapshot creation options including optional name, `mode` (`'filesystem'` takes a filesystem-only snapshot; sandboxes created from it cold-boot instead of restoring memory), and connection options. |

###### Returns

`Promise`\<`SnapshotInfo`>

snapshot information including the snapshot ID.

###### Throws

SandboxError with `statusCode` 400 when `mode: 'filesystem'`
is requested but the feature is not enabled for the team
(`snapshot_filesystem_only_disabled`), and with `statusCode` 409 when the
sandbox's node runs an orchestrator that predates the option
(`snapshot_filesystem_only_unsupported_node`). A full memory snapshot
still works in both cases; for 409, pause and resume the sandbox and retry.

###### Example

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
const sandbox = await Sandbox.create()
await sandbox.files.write('/app/state.json', '{"step": 1}')

// Create a snapshot
const snapshot = await sandbox.createSnapshot({ name: 'my-snapshot' })

// Create a new sandbox from the snapshot
const newSandbox = await Sandbox.create(snapshot.snapshotId)

// Filesystem-only snapshot: sandboxes created from it start fresh from disk
const fsSnapshot = await sandbox.createSnapshot({ mode: 'filesystem' })
```

### downloadUrl()

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
downloadUrl(path: string, opts?: SandboxUrlOpts): Promise<string>
```

Get the URL to download a file from the sandbox.

###### Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Description |
| - | - | - |
| `path` | `string` | path to the file in the sandbox. |
| `opts`? | `SandboxUrlOpts` | download url options. |

###### Returns

`Promise`\<`string`>

URL for downloading file.

### fork()

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
fork(opts?: SandboxForkOpts): Promise<(Error | Sandbox)[]>
```

Fork the sandbox.

The sandbox is checkpointed in place (briefly paused, snapshotted with its
full memory state, and resumed — its ID and expiration stay untouched) and
`count` new sandboxes are created from that snapshot. All forks boot from
the same snapshot, so the snapshot is captured once regardless of count.

Each fork succeeds or fails independently — the returned array contains
one entry per requested fork, either a running Sandbox instance or
an `Error` describing why that fork failed to start
(`Promise.allSettled`-style). Per-fork error codes map to the same error
classes as other API errors (e.g. 429 to `RateLimitError`).

###### Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Description |
| - | - | - |
| `opts`? | `SandboxForkOpts` | fork options — `count`, `timeoutMs` and connection options. |

###### Returns

`Promise`\<(`Error` | `Sandbox`)\[]>

array with one entry per requested fork — a sandbox instance or an error.

###### Example

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
const sandbox = await Sandbox.create()

const [fork1, fork2] = await sandbox.fork({ count: 2 })
if (fork1 instanceof Sandbox) {
  await fork1.commands.run('echo "hello from fork"')
}
```

### getHost()

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
getHost(port: number): string
```

Get the host address for the specified sandbox port.
You can then use this address to connect to the sandbox port from outside the sandbox via HTTP or WebSocket.

###### Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Description |
| - | - | - |
| `port` | `number` | number of the port in the sandbox. |

###### Returns

`string`

host address of the sandbox port.

###### Example

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
const sandbox = await Sandbox.create()
// Start an HTTP server
await sandbox.commands.run('python3 -m http.server 3000', { background: true })
// Get the hostname of the HTTP server
const serverURL = sandbox.getHost(3000)
```

###### Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Description |
| - | - | - |
| `opts`? | `SandboxPauseOpts` | connection options, plus `mode` to control the snapshot kind.

Defaults to `'full'` (memory and filesystem). |

###### Returns

`Promise`\<`boolean`>

`true` if the sandbox got paused, `false` if the sandbox was already paused.

###### Example

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
const sandbox = await Sandbox.create()
await sandbox.pause()

// filesystem-only snapshot (resume reboots the sandbox)
await sandbox.pause({ mode: 'filesystem' })

### createSnapshot()

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
static createSnapshot(sandboxId: string, opts?: CreateSnapshotOpts): Promise<SnapshotInfo>
```

Create a snapshot from a sandbox.

The sandbox will be paused while the snapshot is being created.
The snapshot can be used to create new sandboxes with the same state.
The snapshot is a persistent image that survives sandbox deletion.

###### Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Description |
| - | - | - |
| `sandboxId` | `string` | sandbox ID to create snapshot from. |
| `opts`? | `CreateSnapshotOpts` | snapshot creation options including optional name, `mode` (`'filesystem'` takes a filesystem-only snapshot), and connection options. |

###### Returns

`Promise`\<`SnapshotInfo`>

snapshot information including the snapshot name that can be used with Sandbox.create().

###### Throws

SandboxError with `statusCode` 400 when `mode: 'filesystem'`
is requested but the feature is not enabled for the team
(`snapshot_filesystem_only_disabled`), and with `statusCode` 409 when the
sandbox's node runs an orchestrator that predates the option
(`snapshot_filesystem_only_unsupported_node`). A full memory snapshot
still works in both cases; for 409, pause and resume the sandbox and retry.

### deleteSnapshot()

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}

static fork<S>(
   this: S, 
   sandboxId: string, 
opts?: SandboxForkOpts): Promise<(Error | InstanceType<S>)[]>
```

Fork a running sandbox specified by sandbox ID.

The sandbox is checkpointed in place (briefly paused, snapshotted with its
full memory state, and resumed — its ID and expiration stay untouched) and
`count` new sandboxes are created from that snapshot. All forks boot from
the same snapshot, so the snapshot is captured once regardless of count.

Each fork succeeds or fails independently — the returned array contains
one entry per requested fork, either a running Sandbox instance or
an `Error` describing why that fork failed to start
(`Promise.allSettled`-style). Per-fork error codes map to the same error
classes as other API errors (e.g. 429 to `RateLimitError`).

###### Type Parameters

| Type Parameter |
| - |
| `S` *extends* *typeof* `Sandbox` |

###### Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Description |
| - | - | - |
| `this` | `S` | - |
| `sandboxId` | `string` | sandbox ID. |
| `opts`? | `SandboxForkOpts` | fork options — `count`, `timeoutMs` and connection options. |

###### Returns

`Promise`\<(`Error` | `InstanceType`\<`S`>)\[]>

array with one entry per requested fork — a sandbox instance or an error.

###### Example

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
const sandbox = await Sandbox.create()

const [fork1, fork2] = await Sandbox.fork(sandbox.sandboxId, { count: 2 })

```

Idle timeout for a streamed read (`format: 'stream'`) in **milliseconds**:
abort if no chunk arrives from the server within this window *while
reading*. It bounds only the wire — a slow or paused consumer never trips
it (a consumer that holds the stream but stops reading is reclaimed
server-side). Defaults to the request timeout (60s); pass `0` to disable.

### user?

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
optional user: string;
```

User to use for the operation in the sandbox.

***

### FilesystemWriteOpts

Options for writing files to the sandbox filesystem.

#### Properties

### gzip?

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
optional gzip: boolean;
```

When true, the upload will be gzip-compressed. Implies the
`application/octet-stream` upload.

Requires envd 0.5.7 or later — when not supported by the sandbox's envd
version, the upload falls back to uncompressed `multipart/form-data`.

### metadata?

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
optional metadata: Record<string, string>;
```

User-defined metadata to persist on the uploaded file(s) as extended
attributes. Keys are lowercased by the sandbox, so they may differ in case
when read back. Invalid keys or values throw an `InvalidArgumentError`.
The same metadata is applied to every file in a multi-file upload.
Requires envd 0.6.2 or later.

### requestTimeoutMs?

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}

### signal?

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
optional signal: AbortSignal;
```

An optional `AbortSignal` that can be used to cancel the in-flight request.
When the signal is aborted, the underlying `fetch` is aborted and the
returned promise rejects with an `AbortError`.

### useOctetStream?

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
optional useOctetStream: boolean;
```

When true, the upload uses `application/octet-stream` instead of `multipart/form-data`.
Outside the browser, `ReadableStream` data is then streamed to the sandbox
instead of being buffered in memory.

Defaults to `undefined`, which uses octet-stream when any entry is a
`ReadableStream` (so streamed uploads aren't buffered) and
`multipart/form-data` otherwise; browsers always use `multipart/form-data`
since they can't stream request bodies. Requires envd 0.5.7 or later — when
not supported by the sandbox's envd version, the upload falls back to
`multipart/form-data`.

### user?

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
optional user: string;
```

User to use for the operation in the sandbox.
This affects the resolution of relative paths and ownership of the created filesystem objects.

optional allowNetworkMounts: boolean;
```

Allow watching paths on network filesystem mounts (NFS, CIFS, SMB, FUSE),
which are rejected by default. Events on network mounts may be unreliable
or not delivered at all.

Requires envd 0.6.4 or later. Watching with this option against an older sandbox
throws a `TemplateError`.

### includeEntry?

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
optional includeEntry: boolean;
```

Include the EntryInfo of the affected entry in each FilesystemEvent.

The entry is populated best-effort and may be `undefined` for events where the
entry no longer exists at the path (e.g. remove or rename-away events).

Requires envd 0.6.3 or later. Watching with this option against an older sandbox
throws a `TemplateError`.

### onExit()?

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
optional onExit: (err?: Error) => void | Promise<void>;
```

Callback to call when the watch operation stops.

`err` is `undefined` after WatchHandle.stop or a clean stream end,
and is set only when the watch fails.

# Secret
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/sdk-reference/js-sdk/v2.56.0/secret



### Secret

Module for managing E2B secrets and workload identity helpers.

Secret values are write-only: they are accepted by Secret.create
and Secret.update but never returned by any read surface.

#### Constructors

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
new Secret(): Secret
```

###### Returns

`Secret`

#### Methods

### create()

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
static create(
   name: string, 
   value: string, 
opts?: SecretCreateOpts): Promise<SecretInfo>
```

Create a new secret and its first value.

###### Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Description |
| - | - | - |
| `name` | `string` | name of the secret, unique within the project. |
| `value` | `string` | secret value. Write-only — never returned by the API. |
| `opts`? | `SecretCreateOpts` | connection options. |

###### Returns

`Promise`\<`SecretInfo`>

the secret's ID, name, current version (`1` for a new secret),
metadata, and creation and update times.

### destroy()

### SecretPaginator

Paginator for listing secrets.

#### Example

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
const paginator = Secret.list()
while (paginator.hasNext) {
  const secrets = await paginator.nextItems()
  console.log(secrets)
}
```

#### Constructors

new SecretPaginator(opts?: SecretListOpts): SecretPaginator
```

###### Parameters

| Parameter | Type |
| - | - |
| `opts`? | `SecretListOpts` |

###### Returns

`SecretPaginator`

#### Accessors

### hasNext

###### Get Signature

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
get hasNext(): boolean
```

Returns true if there are more items to fetch.

###### Returns

`boolean`

### nextToken

###### Get Signature

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
get nextToken(): undefined | string
```

Returns the next token to use for pagination.

###### Returns

`undefined` | `string`

#### Methods

### nextItems()

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
nextItems(opts?: ConnectionOpts): Promise<SecretInfo[]>
```

Get the next page of items.

###### Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Description |
| - | - | - |
| `opts`? | `ConnectionOpts` | per-call connection options. When provided, this call uses these options (e.g. `apiKey`, `domain`, `headers`, `requestTimeoutMs`, `signal`) instead of the ones the paginator was constructed with. Aborting a page via `signal` does not affect subsequent Paginator.nextItems calls — pass a fresh signal each call you want to be cancellable. |

###### Returns

`Promise`\<`SecretInfo`\[]>

List of items

###### Throws

Error if there are no more items to fetch. Call this method only if `hasNext` is `true`.

## Interfaces

### SecretCreateOpts

#### Properties

### apiHeaders?

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
optional apiHeaders: Record<string, string>;
```

Additional headers to send with E2B API requests.

### apiKey?

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
optional apiKey: string;
```

E2B API key to use for authentication.

###### Default

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
E2B_API_KEY // environment variable
```

### domain?

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
optional domain: string;
```

Domain to use for the API.

###### Default

E2B\_DOMAIN // environment variable or `e2b.app`

### ~~headers?~~

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
optional headers: Record<string, string>;
```

Additional headers to send with the request.

###### Deprecated

Use `apiHeaders` instead.

### httpVersion?

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
optional httpVersion: HttpVersion;
```

HTTP version for requests to the E2B API and to sandboxes (commands,
filesystem, PTY). `'2'` multiplexes streams over shared connections;
`'1.1'` pins them to HTTP/1.1 with one connection per concurrent
request — for example when an intermediary on the path retires or
mishandles long-lived HTTP/2 connections. Only applies in Node.

###### Default

E2B\_HTTP\_VERSION // environment variable or `'2'`

### logger?

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
optional logger: Logger;
```

Logger to use for logging messages. It can accept any object that implements `Logger` interface—for example, console.

### metadata?

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
optional metadata: Record<string, string>;
```

Customer metadata to store with the secret.

### proxy?

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
optional proxy: string;
```

Proxy URL to use for requests. In case of a sandbox it applies to all
requests made to the returned sandbox.

###### Example

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
'http://user:pass@127.0.0.1:8080'
```

### requestTimeoutMs?

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
optional requestTimeoutMs: number;
```

```

### retries?

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
optional retries: number;
```

Number of control-plane API retries after a 429, 502 or 503 response or
a failure to establish the connection (refused, DNS, unreachable host).
Any other network error (dropped connection, opaque browser/Workers
`TypeError`) is retried too. A 502 and those network errors are not
retried for operations that create a resource (e.g. sandbox creation) or
append to one (secret update), as the server may already have processed
them.
A 429 is retried only with a valid, non-negative integer delta-seconds
`Retry-After` header (HTTP-date and malformed values are not retried).
502 and 503 honor such a `Retry-After` when present; otherwise they and
connection failures use exponential backoff with jitter starting at
100 ms (capped at 10 s).
Retry waits use a 60-second total limit when request timeouts are disabled.

###### Default

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
3
```

### signal?

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
optional signal: AbortSignal;
```

An optional `AbortSignal` that can be used to cancel the in-flight request.
When the signal is aborted, the underlying `fetch` is aborted and the
returned promise rejects with an `AbortError`.

### ~~validateApiKey?~~

optional validateApiKey: boolean;
```

Whether to validate the format of the E2B API key on the client side.

###### Deprecated

## Variables

### Template

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
const Template: CallableTemplate<typeof TemplateBase>;
```

Builder and API entrypoint for E2B sandbox templates.

`Template` is the TemplateBase class, wrapped so it can also be
called as a factory returning a builder. The statics (`Template.build`,
`Template.exists`, …) resolve their connection options off the class they are
called on — so a subclass can bind its own defaults.

#### Param

Optional builder options, e.g. the file context path used to
resolve relative paths passed to `copy`

#### Returns

A template builder

#### Example

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
import { Template } from 'e2b'

const template = Template()
  .fromPythonImage('3')
  .copy('requirements.txt', '/app/')
  .pipInstall()

await Template.build(template, 'my-python-app:v1.0')
```

# Client
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/sdk-reference/python-sdk/v2.56.0/client



## E2BClientParams

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
class E2BClientParams(ApiParams)
```

Params bound to an :class:`E2B` client, used as the defaults for every
call made through its resource classes. Same shape as :class:`ApiParams`.

## E2B

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
class E2B()
```

E2B client with an explicitly bound connection configuration.

The resource classes exposed by the client (`Sandbox`, `AsyncSandbox`,
`Volume`, `AsyncVolume`, `Template`, `AsyncTemplate`, `Secret`,
`AsyncSecret`) behave exactly like the top-level exports of the same name,
except the params passed to the client are used as the defaults instead of
the environment variables.
Per-call params still take precedence over the client's params.

Multiple clients are fully isolated from each other and from the top-level
env-configured exports.

**Example**:

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
from e2b import E2B

client = E2B(api_key="e2b_...", domain="e2b.dev")

sandbox = client.Sandbox.create()
volumes = client.Volume.list()
exists = client.Template.exists("my-template")
```

### \_\_init\_\_

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
def __init__(**opts: Unpack[E2BClientParams])
```

Create a new client with the API params bound to it.

**Arguments**:

* `opts`: API params used as the defaults for every call made
  through this client's resource classes.


# Exceptions
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/sdk-reference/python-sdk/v2.56.0/exceptions



### format\_sandbox\_unavailable\_exception

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
def format_sandbox_unavailable_exception(message: str) -> Exception
```

Map a 502/UNAVAILABLE answered by the proxy in front of envd: the sandbox was
not found (killed or reached its timeout) is a `SandboxNotRunningException`;
the sandbox running but envd's port not open (e.g. its network is down) a
`SandboxUnreachableException`; any other message (e.g. envd ending a stream
because the connection to the sandbox was lost) a `SandboxUnreachableException`
too, with the sandbox state reported as unknown.

## SandboxException

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
class SandboxException(Exception)
```

Base class for all sandbox errors.

Raised when a general sandbox exception occurs.

**Arguments**:

* `status_code`: HTTP status of the API response that produced this error, when there was one.

## TimeoutException

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
class TimeoutException(SandboxException)
```

Raised when a timeout occurs.

The `unavailable` exception type is caused by sandbox timeout.

The `canceled` exception type is caused by exceeding request timeout.

The `deadline_exceeded` exception type is caused by exceeding the timeout for process, watch, etc.

The `unknown` exception type is sometimes caused by the sandbox timeout when the request is not processed correctly.

## InvalidArgumentException

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
class InvalidArgumentException(SandboxException)
```

Raised when an invalid argument is provided.

## NotEnoughSpaceException

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
class NotEnoughSpaceException(SandboxException)
```

Raised when there is not enough disk space.

## NotFoundException

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
class NotFoundException(SandboxException)
```

Raised when a resource is not found.

.. deprecated::
Use :class:`FileNotFoundException` or :class:`SandboxNotFoundException` instead.
This class will be removed in the next major version.

## FileNotFoundException

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
class FileNotFoundException(NotFoundException)
```

Raised when a file or directory is not found inside a sandbox.

## SandboxNotFoundException

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
class SandboxNotFoundException(NotFoundException)
```

Raised when a sandbox is not found (e.g. it doesn't exist or is no longer running).

## SandboxNotRunningException

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
class SandboxNotRunningException(TimeoutException)
```

Raised when the sandbox is not running anymore: the proxy in front of it
answered a request (or the health probe run after a request failed at the
connection level) with the sandbox not found -- it was killed, paused or
reached its timeout. Retrying the request will not help; create or resume a
sandbox.

The split from `SandboxUnreachableException` is only as good as the proxy's
answer and the health probe: a sandbox that is gone but could not be asked
about is a `SandboxUnreachableException`. Handlers that want every "sandbox
is gone" case should catch both this class and `SandboxNotFoundException`
(the control-plane API's answer for a sandbox that does not exist).

Subclass of `TimeoutException`, which this case surfaced as before.

## SandboxUnreachableException

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
class SandboxUnreachableException(TimeoutException)
```

Raised when the sandbox could not be reached while it is not confirmed to be
stopped: the proxy in front of the sandbox reports it running but envd's port
not open (e.g. the sandbox's network is down), the proxy or envd answered with
an unavailability the health probe could not resolve (e.g. the connection to
the sandbox was lost mid-stream while the probe found it running), or a
request failed at the connection level (the connection could not be
established or was dropped mid-request) and the follow-up health probe got no
answer from the sandbox either. A sandbox confirmed stopped (or paused) is a
`SandboxNotRunningException` -- but only as far as the probe can tell: a
sandbox that is gone and could not be asked about surfaces here.

This usually means the sandbox's network is down, envd inside it is not up
(yet), or a network issue between the client and the sandbox. Check the
sandbox state with `Sandbox.get_info()`.

Subclass of `TimeoutException`, which these cases surfaced as before.

## AuthenticationException

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
class AuthenticationException(Exception)
```

Raised when authentication fails.

## GitAuthException

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
class GitAuthException(AuthenticationException)
```

Raised when git authentication fails.

:deprecated: Run git with `sandbox.commands.run()` instead. The git module will be removed in the next major version.

## GitUpstreamException

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
class GitUpstreamException(SandboxException)
```

Raised when git upstream tracking is missing.

:deprecated: Run git with `sandbox.commands.run()` instead. The git module will be removed in the next major version.

## TemplateException

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
class TemplateException(SandboxException)
```

Exception raised when the template uses old envd version. It isn't compatible with the new SDK.

## RateLimitException

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
class RateLimitException(SandboxException)
```

Raised when the API rate limit is exceeded.

## ServiceBusyException

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
class ServiceBusyException(Exception)
```

Raised when the API refused the operation because the service is

temporarily busy (HTTP 503): no capacity to place a sandbox right now, or
the node running the sandbox declined a request it cannot serve yet.

Nothing was changed by the refused call: for example a refused pause
leaves the sandbox running with its state intact, so the same call can be
retried after a short wait.

Like `AuthenticationException` and unlike the other API errors, this is not
a `SandboxException`: it is raised for every 503 whatever the operation, so
catch it explicitly.

**Arguments**:

* `status_code`: HTTP status of the API response: always 503.

## BuildException

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
class BuildException(Exception)
```

Raised when the build fails.

## FileUploadException

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
class FileUploadException(BuildException)
```

Raised when the file upload fails.

## VolumeException

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
class VolumeException(Exception)
```

Base class for all volume errors.

Raised when general volume errors occur.

## VolumeNotFoundException

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
class VolumeNotFoundException(NotFoundException)
```

Raised when a volume is not found.

## VolumePathNotFoundException

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
class VolumePathNotFoundException(NotFoundException)
```

Raised when a file or directory is not found inside a volume.

## SecretException

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
class SecretException(Exception)
```

Base class for all secret errors.

Raised when general secret errors occur.

## SecretNotFoundException

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
class SecretNotFoundException(SecretException)
```

Raised when a secret is not found.

### \_\_init\_\_

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
def __init__(**opts: Unpack[SandboxOpts])
```

:deprecated: This constructor is deprecated

Use `AsyncSandbox.create()` to create a new sandbox instead.

### is\_running

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
async def is_running(request_timeout: Optional[float] = None) -> bool
```

Check if the sandbox is running.

**Arguments**:

* `request_timeout`: Timeout for the request in **seconds**

**Returns**:

`True` if the sandbox is running, `False` otherwise
Example

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
sandbox = await AsyncSandbox.create()
await sandbox.is_running() # Returns True

await sandbox.kill()
await sandbox.is_running() # Returns False
```

### create

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
@classmethod
async def create(cls,
                 template: Optional[str] = None,
                 timeout: Optional[int] = None,
                 metadata: Optional[Dict[str, str]] = None,
                 envs: Optional[Dict[str, str]] = None,
                 secure: Optional[bool] = None,
                 allow_internet_access: Optional[bool] = None,
                 mcp: Optional[McpServer] = None,

                 logger: Optional[logging.Logger] = None,
                 **opts: Unpack[ApiParams]) -> Self
```

Create a new sandbox.

By default, the sandbox is created from the default `base` sandbox template.

**Arguments**:

* `template`: Sandbox template name or ID
* `timeout`: Timeout for the sandbox in **seconds**. The maximum time a sandbox can be kept alive is 24 hours (86\_400 seconds) for Pro users and 1 hour (3\_600 seconds) for Hobby users.
* `metadata`: Custom metadata for the sandbox
* `envs`: Custom environment variables for the sandbox
* `secure`: Deprecated — every sandbox secures envd access; accepted for backward compatibility and ignored
* `allow_internet_access`: Allow sandbox to access the internet. If set to `False`, it works the same as setting network `deny_out` to `[0.0.0.0/0]`.
* `mcp`: MCP server to enable in the sandbox
* `network`: Sandbox network configuration. `allow_out`/`deny_out` may also be a callable receiving a :class:`SandboxNetworkSelectorContext` (`ctx.all_traffic`, `ctx.rules`) and returning a list of strings. Per-host transform rules are nested under `network.rules`; a rule's `transform` may be a callable receiving a :class:`SandboxNetworkTransformContext` of placeholder strings (`ctx.iam.tokens[name]`).
* `iam`: Sandbox workload identity configuration. A non-empty `tokens` map enables workload identity for the sandbox; token definitions can be created with :meth:`Secret.iam_token`. Example: `{"tokens": {"aws": Secret.iam_token(audience="sts.amazonaws.com", token_type="JWT-SVID")}}`. Registered tokens are exposed to `network.rules` `transform` callables as `ctx.iam.tokens[name]` placeholders, which the egress proxy resolves per request
* `lifecycle`: Sandbox lifecycle configuration — `on_timeout`: `"kill"` or `"pause"` (omitted from the request when unset, leaving the API's default, currently `"kill"`, in effect), or an object `{"action": "pause"|"kill", "mode": "full"|"filesystem"}` where `mode` set to `"filesystem"` makes a timeout auto-pause filesystem-only (cold-boots on resume; cannot be combined with `auto_resume`); an omitted `mode` leaves the snapshot kind to the API (`keep_memory` is a deprecated alias); `auto_resume`: leave unset to let the API pick the behavior, set `False` to opt out explicitly, or `True` (only when `on_timeout` action is `"pause"`). Example: `{"on_timeout": {"action": "pause", "mode": "filesystem"}}`
* `volume_mounts`: Dictionary mapping mount paths to AsyncVolume instances or volume names
* `logger`: Logger used for request and response logging for this sandbox. Accepts any standard library `logging.Logger`. When omitted, no request/response logging is emitted.

**Returns**:

A Sandbox instance for the new sandbox
Use this method instead of using the constructor to create a new sandbox.

### connect

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
@overload
async def connect(timeout: Optional[int] = None,
                  *,
                  on_resume: SandboxOnResume = "restore",
                  **opts: Unpack[ApiParams]) -> Self
```

Connect to a sandbox. If the sandbox is paused, it will be automatically resumed.

Sandbox must be either running or be paused.

With sandbox ID you can connect to the same sandbox from different places or environments (serverless functions, etc).

**Arguments**:

* `timeout`: Timeout for the sandbox in **seconds**
  For running sandboxes, the timeout will update only if the new timeout is longer than the existing one.
* `on_resume`: `"restore"` (the default) restores the memory snapshot; `"reboot"`
  cold-boots from disk state, so writes not flushed before the pause may be lost.
  Rejected where filesystem-only resume is not enabled; a no-op for a snapshot
  without memory or a sandbox that is already running. A value outside the two
  literals raises `InvalidArgumentException`.
  Needs a control plane that knows this option: E2B Cloud, or a self-hosted or BYOC
  deployment built from `e2b-dev/runtime` at or after the commit that added the `memory`
  field to connect/resume (2026-08-20). An older control plane drops the field and
  restores memory while answering as if the request had succeeded.

**Returns**:

A running sandbox instance
@example

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
sandbox = await AsyncSandbox.create()
await sandbox.pause()

same_sandbox = await sandbox.connect()
```

### fork

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
@overload
async def fork(timeout: Optional[int] = None,
               count: Optional[int] = None,
               **opts: Unpack[ApiParams]) -> List[Union[Self, Exception]]
```

Fork the sandbox.

The sandbox is checkpointed in place (briefly paused, snapshotted with
its full memory state, and resumed — its ID and expiration stay
untouched) and `count` new sandboxes are created from that snapshot.
All forks boot from the same snapshot, so the snapshot is captured once
regardless of count.

Each fork succeeds or fails independently — the returned list contains
one entry per requested fork, either a running `AsyncSandbox` instance
or an exception describing why that fork failed to start. Per-fork
error codes map to the same exception classes as other API errors
(e.g. 429 to `RateLimitException`).

**Arguments**:

* `timeout`: Timeout for the forked sandboxes in **seconds**.
* `count`: Number of forked sandboxes to create. An integer between 1 and 20. Omitted, the API default applies.

**Returns**:

List with one entry per requested fork — a sandbox instance or an exception
@example

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
sandbox = await AsyncSandbox.create()

fork1, fork2 = await sandbox.fork(count=2)
```

### fork

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}

        logger: Optional[logging.Logger] = None,
        **opts: Unpack[ApiParams]) -> List[Union["AsyncSandbox", Exception]]
```

Fork a running sandbox specified by sandbox ID.

The sandbox is checkpointed in place (briefly paused, snapshotted with
its full memory state, and resumed — its ID and expiration stay
untouched) and `count` new sandboxes are created from that snapshot.
All forks boot from the same snapshot, so the snapshot is captured once
regardless of count.

Each fork succeeds or fails independently — the returned list contains
one entry per requested fork, either a running `AsyncSandbox` instance
or an exception describing why that fork failed to start. Per-fork
error codes map to the same exception classes as other API errors
(e.g. 429 to `RateLimitException`).

**Arguments**:

* `sandbox_id`: Sandbox ID
* `timeout`: Timeout for the forked sandboxes in **seconds**.
* `count`: Number of forked sandboxes to create. An integer between 1 and 20. Omitted, the API default applies.
* `logger`: Logger used for request and response logging for the forked sandboxes. Accepts any standard library `logging.Logger`. When omitted, no request/response logging is emitted.

**Returns**:

List with one entry per requested fork — a sandbox instance or an exception
@example

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
sandbox = await AsyncSandbox.create()

fork1, fork2 = await AsyncSandbox.fork(sandbox.sandbox_id, count=2)
```

### fork

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
@class_method_variant("_cls_fork_sandbox")
async def fork(timeout: Optional[int] = None,
               count: Optional[int] = None,
               **opts: Unpack[ApiParams]) -> List[Union[Self, Exception]]
```

Fork the sandbox.

The sandbox is checkpointed in place (briefly paused, snapshotted with
its full memory state, and resumed — its ID and expiration stay
untouched) and `count` new sandboxes are created from that snapshot.
All forks boot from the same snapshot, so the snapshot is captured once
regardless of count.

Each fork succeeds or fails independently — the returned list contains
one entry per requested fork, either a running `AsyncSandbox` instance
or an exception describing why that fork failed to start. Per-fork
error codes map to the same exception classes as other API errors
(e.g. 429 to `RateLimitException`).

**Arguments**:

* `timeout`: Timeout for the forked sandboxes in **seconds**.
* `count`: Number of forked sandboxes to create. An integer between 1 and 20. Omitted, the API default applies.

**Returns**:

List with one entry per requested fork — a sandbox instance or an exception
@example

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}

                          **opts: Unpack[ApiParams]) -> SnapshotInfo
```

Create a snapshot of the sandbox's current state.

The sandbox will be paused while the snapshot is being created.
The snapshot can be used to create new sandboxes with the same filesystem and state.
Snapshots are persistent and survive sandbox deletion.

Use the returned `snapshot_id` with `AsyncSandbox.create(snapshot_id)` to create a new sandbox from the snapshot.

**Arguments**:

* `name`: Optional name for the snapshot template. If a snapshot template with this name already exists, a new build will be assigned to the existing template instead of creating a new one.
* `mode`: What the snapshot persists. With `"filesystem"`, only the filesystem is persisted: the snapshot is smaller and faster to take, and sandboxes created from it cold-boot (start fresh from disk) instead of restoring memory, so they begin without the running processes, in-memory state and open connections of the source sandbox. The source sandbox keeps running either way. Defaults to `"full"` (memory and filesystem).

**Raises**:

* `SandboxException`: when the API refuses a filesystem-only snapshot (`mode="filesystem"`). `status_code` 400 means the feature is not enabled for the team (`snapshot_filesystem_only_disabled`); 409 means the sandbox's node runs an orchestrator that predates the option (`snapshot_filesystem_only_unsupported_node`). A full memory snapshot still works in both cases; for 409, pause and resume the sandbox and retry.

**Returns**:

Snapshot information including the snapshot ID and names

### read

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
@overload
async def read(path: str,
               format: Literal["text"] = "text",
               user: Optional[Username] = None,
               request_timeout: Optional[float] = None,
               gzip: bool = False) -> str
```

Read file content as a `str`.

**Arguments**:

* `path`: Path to the file
* `user`: Run the operation as this user
* `format`: Format of the file content—`text` by default
* `request_timeout`: Timeout for the request in **seconds**
* `gzip`: Use gzip compression for the request

**Returns**:

File content as a `str`

### read

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
@overload
async def read(path: str,
               format: Literal["bytes"],
               user: Optional[Username] = None,
               request_timeout: Optional[float] = None,
               gzip: bool = False) -> bytearray
```

Read file content as a `bytearray`.

**Arguments**:

* `path`: Path to the file
* `user`: Run the operation as this user
* `format`: Format of the file content—`bytes`
* `request_timeout`: Timeout for the request in **seconds**
* `gzip`: Use gzip compression for the request

**Returns**:

File content as a `bytearray`

### read

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
@overload
async def read(
        path: str,
        format: Literal["stream"],
        user: Optional[Username] = None,
        request_timeout: Optional[float] = None,
        gzip: bool = False,
        stream_idle_timeout: Optional[float] = None) -> AsyncFileStreamReader
```

Read file content as an `AsyncFileStreamReader` (an `AsyncIterator[bytes]`).

A `request_timeout` set explicitly for this call is the deadline for
the whole transfer; by default the download is not bounded in total.
A stalled stream is reclaimed by `stream_idle_timeout` (raising
`httpx.ReadTimeout`). The reader releases its connection once fully
consumed; if you don't read it to the end, use it as an async context
manager or call `aclose()` for deterministic cleanup. There is no
garbage-collection safety net—an abandoned stream holds its
connection until the idle timeout fires or the client is closed.

**Arguments**:

* `path`: Path to the file
* `user`: Run the operation as this user
* `format`: Format of the file content—`stream`
* `request_timeout`: Deadline for the whole transfer in **seconds**
* `gzip`: Use gzip compression for the request
* `stream_idle_timeout`: Idle timeout in **seconds** for the streamed
  body—abort if the response head or the next chunk doesn't arrive
  within this window. Resets on every chunk, so it bounds a stalled
  stream without limiting total transfer time. Defaults to a
  transport-wide idle read timeout (60 seconds); pass `0` to
  disable.

**Returns**:

File content as an `AsyncFileStreamReader`

### write

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
async def write(path: str,
                data: Union[str, bytes, IO],
                user: Optional[Username] = None,
                request_timeout: Optional[float] = None,
                gzip: bool = False,
                use_octet_stream: Optional[bool] = None,
                metadata: Optional[Dict[str, str]] = None) -> WriteInfo
```

Write content to a file on the path.

Writing to a file that doesn't exist creates the file.
Writing to a file that already exists overwrites the file.
Writing to a file at path that doesn't exist creates the necessary directories.

**Arguments**:

* `path`: Path to the file
* `data`: Data to write to the file, can be a `str`, `bytes`, or `IO`. File-like objects are streamed in chunks instead of being buffered in memory.
* `user`: Run the operation as this user
* `request_timeout`: Timeout for the request in **seconds**
* `gzip`: Use gzip compression for the upload. Implies the `application/octet-stream` upload. Requires envd 0.5.7 or later — when not supported, the upload falls back to uncompressed `multipart/form-data`.
* `use_octet_stream`: Upload using `application/octet-stream` instead of `multipart/form-data`. Defaults to `None`, which uses octet-stream when `data` is a file-like object (so streamed uploads aren't buffered) and `multipart/form-data` otherwise. Requires envd 0.5.7 or later — when not supported, the upload falls back to `multipart/form-data`, which reads text-mode file-like data into memory (httpx only streams binary file objects in a multipart body).
* `metadata`: User-defined metadata to persist on the uploaded file as extended attributes. Keys are lowercased by the sandbox; invalid keys or values raise an `InvalidArgumentException`. Requires envd 0.6.2 or later.

**Returns**:

Information about the written file

### write\_files

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
async def write_files(
        files: List[WriteEntry],

        use_octet_stream: Optional[bool] = None,
        metadata: Optional[Dict[str, str]] = None) -> List[WriteInfo]
```

Writes multiple files.

Writes a list of files to the filesystem.
When writing to a file that doesn't exist, the file will get created.
When writing to a file that already exists, the file will get overwritten.
When writing to a file at path that doesn't exist, the necessary directories will be created.

**Arguments**:

* `files`: list of files to write as `WriteEntry` objects, each containing `path` and `data`
* `user`: Run the operation as this user
* `request_timeout`: Timeout for the request
* `gzip`: Use gzip compression for the upload. Implies the `application/octet-stream` upload. Requires envd 0.5.7 or later — when not supported, the upload falls back to uncompressed `multipart/form-data`.
* `use_octet_stream`: Upload using `application/octet-stream` instead of `multipart/form-data`. Defaults to `None`, which uses octet-stream when any entry is a file-like object (so streamed uploads aren't buffered) and `multipart/form-data` otherwise. Requires envd 0.5.7 or later — when not supported, the upload falls back to `multipart/form-data`, which reads text-mode file-like data into memory (httpx only streams binary file objects in a multipart body).
* `metadata`: User-defined metadata to persist on each uploaded file as extended attributes; the same map is applied to every file. Keys are lowercased by the sandbox; invalid keys or values raise an `InvalidArgumentException`. Requires envd 0.6.2 or later.

**Returns**:

Information about the written files

# Sandbox sync
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/sdk-reference/python-sdk/v2.56.0/sandbox_sync



## Sandbox

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
class Sandbox(SandboxApi)
```

E2B cloud sandbox is a secure and isolated cloud environment.

The sandbox allows you to:

* Access Linux OS
* Create, list, and delete files and directories
* Run commands
* Run isolated code
* Access the internet

Check docs [here](https://e2b.dev/docs).

Use the `Sandbox.create()` to create a new sandbox.

**Example**:

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
from e2b import Sandbox

sandbox = Sandbox.create()
```

### files

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
@property
def files() -> Filesystem
```

Module for interacting with the sandbox filesystem.

### commands

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
@property
def commands() -> Commands
```

Module for running commands in the sandbox.

### pty

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
@property
def pty() -> Pty
```

Module for interacting with the sandbox pseudo-terminal.

### git

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
@property
def git() -> Git
```

Module for running git operations in the sandbox.

:deprecated: Run git with `sandbox.commands.run()` instead. The git module will be removed in the next major version.

### \_\_init\_\_

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
def __init__(**opts: Unpack[SandboxOpts])
```

:deprecated: This constructor is deprecated

Use `Sandbox.create()` to create a new sandbox instead.

### is\_running

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
def is_running(request_timeout: Optional[float] = None) -> bool
```

Check if the sandbox is running.

**Arguments**:

* `request_timeout`: Timeout for the request in **seconds**

**Returns**:

`True` if the sandbox is running, `False` otherwise
Example

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
sandbox = Sandbox.create()
sandbox.is_running() # Returns True

sandbox.kill()
sandbox.is_running() # Returns False
```

### create

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
@classmethod
def create(cls,
           template: Optional[str] = None,
           timeout: Optional[int] = None,

* `secure`: Deprecated — every sandbox secures envd access; accepted for backward compatibility and ignored
* `allow_internet_access`: Allow sandbox to access the internet. If set to `False`, it works the same as setting network `deny_out` to `[0.0.0.0/0]`.
* `mcp`: MCP server to enable in the sandbox
* `network`: Sandbox network configuration. `allow_out`/`deny_out` may also be a callable receiving a :class:`SandboxNetworkSelectorContext` (`ctx.all_traffic`, `ctx.rules`) and returning a list of strings. Per-host transform rules are nested under `network.rules`; a rule's `transform` may be a callable receiving a :class:`SandboxNetworkTransformContext` of placeholder strings (`ctx.iam.tokens[name]`).
* `iam`: Sandbox workload identity configuration. A non-empty `tokens` map enables workload identity for the sandbox; token definitions can be created with :meth:`Secret.iam_token`. Example: `{"tokens": {"aws": Secret.iam_token(audience="sts.amazonaws.com", token_type="JWT-SVID")}}`. Registered tokens are exposed to `network.rules` `transform` callables as `ctx.iam.tokens[name]` placeholders, which the egress proxy resolves per request
* `lifecycle`: Sandbox lifecycle configuration — `on_timeout`: `"kill"` or `"pause"` (omitted from the request when unset, leaving the API's default, currently `"kill"`, in effect), or an object `{"action": "pause"|"kill", "mode": "full"|"filesystem"}` where `mode` set to `"filesystem"` makes a timeout auto-pause filesystem-only (cold-boots on resume; cannot be combined with `auto_resume`); an omitted `mode` leaves the snapshot kind to the API (`keep_memory` is a deprecated alias); `auto_resume`: leave unset to let the API pick the behavior, set `False` to opt out explicitly, or `True` (only when `on_timeout` action is `"pause"`). Example: `{"on_timeout": {"action": "pause", "mode": "filesystem"}}`
* `volume_mounts`: Dictionary mapping mount paths to Volume instances or volume names
* `logger`: Logger used for request and response logging for this sandbox. Accepts any standard library `logging.Logger`. When omitted, no request/response logging is emitted.

**Returns**:

A Sandbox instance for the new sandbox
Use this method instead of using the constructor to create a new sandbox.

### connect

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
@overload
def connect(timeout: Optional[int] = None,
            *,
            on_resume: SandboxOnResume = "restore",
            **opts: Unpack[ApiParams]) -> Self
```

Connect to a sandbox. If the sandbox is paused, it will be automatically resumed.

Sandbox must be either running or be paused.

With sandbox ID you can connect to the same sandbox from different places or environments (serverless functions, etc).

**Arguments**:

* `timeout`: Timeout for the sandbox in **seconds**
  For running sandboxes, the timeout will update only if the new timeout is longer than the existing one.
* `on_resume`: `"restore"` (the default) restores the memory snapshot; `"reboot"`
  cold-boots from disk state, so writes not flushed before the pause may be lost.
  Rejected where filesystem-only resume is not enabled; a no-op for a snapshot
  without memory or a sandbox that is already running. A value outside the two
  literals raises `InvalidArgumentException`.
  Needs a control plane that knows this option: E2B Cloud, or a self-hosted or BYOC
  deployment built from `e2b-dev/runtime` at or after the commit that added the `memory`
  field to connect/resume (2026-08-20). An older control plane drops the field and
  restores memory while answering as if the request had succeeded.

**Returns**:

A running sandbox instance
@example

````python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
sandbox = Sandbox.create()
sandbox.pause()

same_sandbox = sandbox.connect()

```

Fork the sandbox.

The sandbox is checkpointed in place (briefly paused, snapshotted with
its full memory state, and resumed — its ID and expiration stay
untouched) and `count` new sandboxes are created from that snapshot.
All forks boot from the same snapshot, so the snapshot is captured once
regardless of count.

Each fork succeeds or fails independently — the returned list contains
one entry per requested fork, either a running `Sandbox` instance
or an exception describing why that fork failed to start. Per-fork
error codes map to the same exception classes as other API errors
(e.g. 429 to `RateLimitException`).

**Arguments**:

* `timeout`: Timeout for the forked sandboxes in **seconds**.
* `count`: Number of forked sandboxes to create. An integer between 1 and 20. Omitted, the API default applies.

**Returns**:

List with one entry per requested fork — a sandbox instance or an exception
@example

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}

                    **opts: Unpack[ApiParams]) -> SnapshotInfo
```

Create a snapshot of the sandbox's current state.

The sandbox will be paused while the snapshot is being created.
The snapshot can be used to create new sandboxes with the same filesystem and state.
Snapshots are persistent and survive sandbox deletion.

Use the returned `snapshot_id` with `Sandbox.create(snapshot_id)` to create a new sandbox from the snapshot.

**Arguments**:

* `name`: Optional name for the snapshot template. If a snapshot template with this name already exists, a new build will be assigned to the existing template instead of creating a new one.
* `mode`: What the snapshot persists. With `"filesystem"`, only the filesystem is persisted: the snapshot is smaller and faster to take, and sandboxes created from it cold-boot (start fresh from disk) instead of restoring memory, so they begin without the running processes, in-memory state and open connections of the source sandbox. The source sandbox keeps running either way. Defaults to `"full"` (memory and filesystem).

**Raises**:

* `SandboxException`: when the API refuses a filesystem-only snapshot (`mode="filesystem"`). `status_code` 400 means the feature is not enabled for the team (`snapshot_filesystem_only_disabled`); 409 means the sandbox's node runs an orchestrator that predates the option (`snapshot_filesystem_only_unsupported_node`). A full memory snapshot still works in both cases; for 409, pause and resume the sandbox and retry.

## Filesystem

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
class Filesystem()
```

Module for interacting with the filesystem in the sandbox.

### read

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
@overload
def read(path: str,
         format: Literal["text"] = "text",
         user: Optional[Username] = None,
         request_timeout: Optional[float] = None,
         gzip: bool = False) -> str
```

Read file content as a `str`.

**Arguments**:

* `path`: Path to the file
* `user`: Run the operation as this user
* `format`: Format of the file content—`text` by default
* `request_timeout`: Timeout for the request in **seconds**
* `gzip`: Use gzip compression for the request

**Returns**:

File content as a `str`

### read

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
@overload
def read(path: str,
         format: Literal["bytes"],
         user: Optional[Username] = None,
         request_timeout: Optional[float] = None,
         gzip: bool = False) -> bytearray
```

Read file content as a `bytearray`.

**Arguments**:

* `path`: Path to the file
* `user`: Run the operation as this user
* `format`: Format of the file content—`bytes`
* `request_timeout`: Timeout for the request in **seconds**
* `gzip`: Use gzip compression for the request

**Returns**:

File content as a `bytearray`

### read

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
@overload
def read(path: str,
         format: Literal["stream"],
         user: Optional[Username] = None,
         request_timeout: Optional[float] = None,
         gzip: bool = False,
         stream_idle_timeout: Optional[float] = None) -> FileStreamReader
```

Read file content as a `FileStreamReader` (an `Iterator[bytes]`).

A `request_timeout` set explicitly for this call is the deadline for
the whole transfer; by default the download is not bounded in total.
A stalled stream is reclaimed by a transport-wide idle read timeout
(raising `httpx.ReadTimeout`). The reader releases its connection
once fully consumed; if you don't read it to the end, use it as a
context manager or call `close()` for deterministic cleanup.

**Arguments**:

* `path`: Path to the file
* `user`: Run the operation as this user
* `format`: Format of the file content—`stream`
* `request_timeout`: Deadline for the whole transfer in **seconds**
* `gzip`: Use gzip compression for the request
* `stream_idle_timeout`: Ignored — the sync client cannot
  interrupt a blocking read. A stalled streamed read is bounded by
  a transport-wide idle read timeout instead (60 seconds), which
  resets on every chunk. (`AsyncSandbox.files.read` honors this
  parameter.)

**Returns**:

File content as a `FileStreamReader`

### write

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
def write(path: str,
          data: Union[str, bytes, IO],
          user: Optional[Username] = None,
          request_timeout: Optional[float] = None,
          gzip: bool = False,
          use_octet_stream: Optional[bool] = None,
          metadata: Optional[Dict[str, str]] = None) -> WriteInfo
```

Write content to a file on the path.

Writing to a file that doesn't exist creates the file.
Writing to a file that already exists overwrites the file.
Writing to a file at path that doesn't exist creates the necessary directories.

**Arguments**:

* `path`: Path to the file
* `data`: Data to write to the file, can be a `str`, `bytes`, or `IO`. File-like objects are streamed in chunks instead of being buffered in memory.
* `user`: Run the operation as this user
* `request_timeout`: Timeout for the request in **seconds**
* `gzip`: Use gzip compression for the upload. Implies the `application/octet-stream` upload. Requires envd 0.5.7 or later — when not supported, the upload falls back to uncompressed `multipart/form-data`.
* `use_octet_stream`: Upload using `application/octet-stream` instead of `multipart/form-data`. Defaults to `None`, which uses octet-stream when `data` is a file-like object (so streamed uploads aren't buffered) and `multipart/form-data` otherwise. Requires envd 0.5.7 or later — when not supported, the upload falls back to `multipart/form-data`, which reads text-mode file-like data into memory (httpx only streams binary file objects in a multipart body).
* `metadata`: User-defined metadata to persist on the uploaded file as extended attributes. Keys are lowercased by the sandbox; invalid keys or values raise an `InvalidArgumentException`. Requires envd 0.6.2 or later.

**Returns**:

Information about the written file

### write\_files

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
def write_files(files: List[WriteEntry],
                user: Optional[Username] = None,
                request_timeout: Optional[float] = None,
                gzip: bool = False,
                use_octet_stream: Optional[bool] = None,
                metadata: Optional[Dict[str, str]] = None) -> List[WriteInfo]
```

Writes multiple files.

Writes a list of files to the filesystem.
When writing to a file that doesn't exist, the file will get created.
When writing to a file that already exists, the file will get overwritten.
When writing to a file at path that doesn't exist, the necessary directories will be created.

**Arguments**:

* `files`: list of files to write as `WriteEntry` objects, each containing `path` and `data`
* `user`: Run the operation as this user
* `request_timeout`: Timeout for the request
* `gzip`: Use gzip compression for the upload. Implies the `application/octet-stream` upload. Requires envd 0.5.7 or later — when not supported, the upload falls back to uncompressed `multipart/form-data`.
* `use_octet_stream`: Upload using `application/octet-stream` instead of `multipart/form-data`. Defaults to `None`, which uses octet-stream when any entry is a file-like object (so streamed uploads aren't buffered) and `multipart/form-data` otherwise. Requires envd 0.5.7 or later — when not supported, the upload falls back to `multipart/form-data`, which reads text-mode file-like data into memory (httpx only streams binary file objects in a multipart body).
* `metadata`: User-defined metadata to persist on each uploaded file as extended attributes; the same map is applied to every file. Keys are lowercased by the sandbox; invalid keys or values raise an `InvalidArgumentException`. Requires envd 0.6.2 or later.

**Returns**:

Information about the written files

**Arguments**:

* `path`: Path to the file
* `format`: Format of the file content—`text` by default
* `stream_idle_timeout`: Idle timeout in **seconds** for a streamed
  read (`format="stream"`)—abort with `httpx.ReadTimeout` if the
  response head or the next chunk doesn't arrive within this
  window. Resets on every chunk, so it bounds a stalled stream
  without limiting total transfer time. Defaults to the
  transport-wide idle read timeout (60 seconds); pass `0` to
  disable.

/openapi-public.yaml post /files
Any request header of the form `X-Metadata-<key>: <value>` is persisted
as a user-defined extended attribute on the uploaded file. The
`X-Metadata-` prefix is stripped and the remaining header name is
lowercased to form the metadata key; the resulting map is returned on
`EntryInfo` lookups (e.g. `Stat`, `ListDir`).

Each upload replaces the file's metadata with the keys provided in
that request: keys previously stored but absent from the new request
are removed, and an upload that sends no `X-Metadata-*` header clears
all existing metadata.

Both keys and values must be printable US-ASCII (bytes `0x20`-`0x7E`)
and are rejected with HTTP 400 otherwise. Each key is capped at 246
bytes (the Linux VFS xattr-name limit minus the namespace prefix), and
the combined size of all metadata on a file (keys plus values, with the
namespace prefix counted per key) is capped at 4096 bytes to stay within
the filesystem's per-inode xattr budget. Multiple files in a single
multipart upload receive the same metadata. If the same
`X-Metadata-<key>` header is sent more than once, only the first
value is used.

Weekly updates on what shipped in E2B

<Update label="October 12, 2026" description="Filesystem snapshots, lifecycle event modes, Azure Embed">
  ## Filesystem-Only Snapshots & Lifecycle Pause Modes

  This week improves snapshots and lifecycle events with filesystem-only snapshots, pause and resume modes, and clearer errors for stopped sandboxes.

  ### Filesystem-only snapshots

  Snapshots, pauses, and auto-pause now accept a [`mode` option](/sandbox/filesystem-only-snapshots). Pass `'filesystem'` for smaller, faster snapshots that save only the filesystem and boot fresh. The `keepMemory` option is deprecated. Shipped in the JavaScript and Python SDKs 2.55.0. ([#1925](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/1925))

  ### Pause and resume modes in lifecycle events

  Paused and resumed events in webhooks, the events API, and the dashboard now carry `event_data.pause_mode` (`full` or `filesystem`) and `event_data.resume_mode` (`restore` or `reboot`), so you can tell whether a sandbox kept its memory. ([`8ad50e8`](https://github.com/e2b-dev/runtime/commit/8ad50e85de5460261afc5783c1d99dd2fd039e27))

  ### Secured access for API-created sandboxes

  The deprecated `POST /sandboxes` endpoint now always enables [secured access](/sandbox/secured-access) and ignores the `secure` field. Calls to the sandbox controller (envd) must send the returned `envdAccessToken` in the `X-Access-Token` header, or envd returns `401`. Current SDKs already do this. Templates too old for secured access return `400` and must be rebuilt. ([`315a94e`](https://github.com/e2b-dev/runtime/commit/315a94e737da604abb5ec54081d88198c400c8eb))

  ### Errors for stopped and unreachable sandboxes

  The SDKs now raise a sandbox-not-running error when a sandbox has stopped, so you know a retry will not help, and a sandbox-unreachable error when it does not answer. In JavaScript, calls on a stopped sandbox throw `SandboxNotRunningError` instead of `SandboxNotFoundError`. Shipped in the SDKs 2.53.1. ([#1949](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/1949))

  ### Dockerfile parsing that matches Docker

  Converting a Dockerfile with [`fromDockerfile()`](/template/base-image#parsing-existing-dockerfiles) now follows Docker's parsing rules for quoting, escapes, heredocs, and `COPY --chmod`. Shipped in the JavaScript and Python SDKs 2.55.0. ([#1936](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/1936))

  ### Dashboard secrets and billing

  Every project now has a Secrets page in the dashboard. Billing collects your billing address with your card, explains why an untaxable card is refused, and requires a valid default card to upgrade a personal workspace. Pro concurrency add-ons are temporarily unavailable to buy, so [contact support](/support) instead.

  ### Azure deployment for E2B Embed

  Self-hosted E2B Embed now runs on a single Azure node with a new Terraform module, and refuses a pause the disk cannot hold so the sandbox keeps running. The `PAUSE_ADMISSION_DISK_HEADROOM_MIB` setting controls the required headroom. ([`a28962e`](https://github.com/e2b-dev/runtime/commit/a28962e2735487d468f34aa4262fe30df735e3d2), [`0059190`](https://github.com/e2b-dev/runtime/commit/005919063d42455098e33ca49110c5c32dce85c8), [`e3ef7c6`](https://github.com/e2b-dev/runtime/commit/e3ef7c64abfda0eacae13d589e2d0ab6c157992e))

  ### Fixes

  * Fixed the API returning `401` instead of a retryable `500` when an API key lookup failed. ([`296f183`](https://github.com/e2b-dev/runtime/commit/296f183480cc177a34e04c1229a5a21e5ed60323))
  * Fixed `git clone` into a volume failing with a stale file handle error. ([`5457911`](https://github.com/e2b-dev/runtime/commit/54579116c68676336586cfa56adb5114e6df2313))
  * Fixed lifecycle events reporting the wrong execution start time after a snapshot of a running sandbox. ([`0535e35`](https://github.com/e2b-dev/runtime/commit/0535e351319a9d8c1172a7a4632bfe8528192a37))
  * Fixed template builds failing on a transient status error while still running. ([`7ecd661`](https://github.com/e2b-dev/runtime/commit/7ecd661dedafb324010ee8e7816afc4c78d1bce1))
  * Fixed the JavaScript Code Interpreter SDK breaking Unicode characters split across response chunks. Shipped in `@e2b/code-interpreter` 2.8.2. ([#1946](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/1946))
  * Reliability and security hardening across platform services, including dependency and base image CVE patches.
</Update>

<Update label="October 5, 2026" description="SDK retries, HTTP/1.1 option, dashboard hold banners">
  ## Broader SDK Retries, HTTP/1.1 Option & Dashboard Hold Banners

  This week improves SDK reliability and the dashboard with 502 and 503 retries, an HTTP/1.1 option, Docker-style ignore patterns, and hold banners.

  ### Retries on gateway errors and failed connections

  The SDKs now retry API requests after 502 and 503 responses, in addition to 429 responses that carry `Retry-After`. The JavaScript SDK also retries failed connection attempts, as the Python SDK already did. Requests that cannot be safely replayed, such as sandbox creation, are not retried after other network errors. Retries after a 429, 502, or 503 response honor `Retry-After` and the `retries` option. Shipped in the JavaScript and Python SDKs 2.52.0. ([#1888](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/1888))

  ### HTTP version and connection pool settings

  Set `httpVersion: '1.1'` in JavaScript, `http_version="1.1"` in Python, or `E2B_HTTP_VERSION` to pin API, sandbox, and volume requests to HTTP/1.1 instead of the default HTTP/2. In JavaScript, these settings apply on Node.js. The Python SDK also spreads sandbox traffic across connection pools sized by `E2B_STREAMS_PER_CONNECTION` and `E2B_MAX_CONNECTIONS`. Shipped in the JavaScript and Python SDKs 2.52.0. ([#1920](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/1920), [#1825](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/1825))

  ### Docker-style ignore patterns

  Template builds now apply [`.dockerignore` and file ignore patterns](/template/base-image) the way Docker does: directory patterns exclude their contents, `!` re-includes a path, and the last match takes precedence. Brace patterns such as `**/*.{env,pem}` now match literally in JavaScript, as they already did in Python, so list each pattern separately. Shipped in the JavaScript and Python SDKs 2.52.0. ([#1917](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/1917))

  ### Fork count limit

  The SDKs and the [`e2b sandbox fork`](/cli/fork-sandbox) command now reject a fork count outside 1 to 20 before calling the API. Shipped in the JavaScript and Python SDKs 2.52.0 and CLI 2.21.0. ([#1909](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/1909))

  ### Dashboard hold and plan limit banners

  When a project is blocked, the dashboard shows a banner explaining why. For a spend limit, people who can manage spend get actions to update the limit or view usage. Personal workspaces show an upgrade banner in place of the options to create projects or add members.

  ### TLS for bring-your-own egress proxies

  The API's [egress proxy](/network/byop) configuration accepts an optional `tls` object with `enabled`, `serverName`, and `caCert`, so the SOCKS5 handshake, credentials, and traffic to your proxy are encrypted. The SDKs do not pass it through. Bring your own proxy is in private beta. ([`27992f3`](https://github.com/e2b-dev/runtime/commit/27992f392e0c012c17fc4f1366e2c5d024f75bcb), [`1599d6e`](https://github.com/e2b-dev/runtime/commit/1599d6e79e302449e9285dae33d5ce04e3182254))

  ### Server-side encryption for self-hosted S3 storage

  Self-hosted deployments can opt in to S3 server-side encryption with `ssetype` and `kmskeyid` on the storage URL, or `S3_SSE_TYPE` and `S3_SSE_KMS_KEY_ID` when storage is configured with bucket environment variables. ([`f3e1873`](https://github.com/e2b-dev/runtime/commit/f3e1873ce4e436890469d2f77f750ae4cb042bf9))

  ### Fixes

  * Fixed `POST /secrets` returning the same `409` response for a project secret limit as for a name collision. A limit response now carries the `secret_limit_reached` error code. ([`5f520e6`](https://github.com/e2b-dev/runtime/commit/5f520e69a86463a8fa3ed071c73bf136e0650547))
  * Fixed the dashboard blocking project-only members from opening their workspace's Projects page.
  * Fixed the dashboard looping on redirects for unknown paths instead of showing a 404 page.
  * Reliability fixes and dependency updates across platform services.

<Update label="September 28, 2026" description="Public project IDs, one Console for every region, Embed telemetry">
  ## Public Project IDs & Embed OpenTelemetry Export

  This week improves projects and self-hosting with public project IDs in the dashboard and API, one E2B Console for every region, a dashboard-wide support dialog, and OpenTelemetry export for E2B Embed.

  ### Public project and workspace IDs

  Project settings in the dashboard now show the public project ID in the `prj_` format, with the UUID kept as the legacy project ID, and the project's region. Workspace settings show the workspace ID in the `wrk_` format. The API accepts a `prj_` ID wherever it accepts a team ID, including the `teamID` parameter of `GET /templates`, team metrics, and the `X-Team-ID` header. ([`03a400e`](https://github.com/e2b-dev/runtime/commit/03a400ee2a0688e9bef5e4c28ac52431a96748cf))

  ### One Console for every region

  Projects in every region, US, EU and APAC, are now managed in one [E2B Console](https://console.e2b.dev) instead of a separate console per region. Links to the old EU and APAC consoles on `e2b-juliett.dev` and `e2b-tango.dev` redirect to the same page on `console.e2b.dev`. Sandboxes keep running in the region their project is in, and project settings show which region that is.

  ### Support dialog across the dashboard

  The Help and resources menu now opens a support form from any page in the dashboard, so you can [contact support](/support) without leaving your current work. The `?support=true` link opens the same dialog, which shows the support email address directly below its title.

  ### OpenTelemetry export for E2B Embed

  Self-hosted E2B Embed deployments can now export telemetry from every service Embed runs to an OpenTelemetry collector with one setting: `E2B_OTEL_COLLECTOR_GRPC_ENDPOINT` in Docker Compose, the `e2b-settings` ConfigMap on Kubernetes, or `otel_collector_grpc_endpoint` in Terraform. Leaving it empty keeps the current behavior. ([`f455fd5`](https://github.com/e2b-dev/runtime/commit/f455fd58fa3f289e78ce1de690c35968d8d29322))

  ### Fixes

  * Fixed `e2b auth login` failing with "No default project found" for users who belong only to shared workspaces, because the API now marks the oldest accessible project as the default when none is set. ([`a065a4d`](https://github.com/e2b-dev/runtime/commit/a065a4ddb3f2c6a4149634d9acb14b62f65839ac))
  * Fixed [workload identity](/iam/workload-identity) tokens disappearing from egress request headers during the final minute of a running sandbox's lifetime.
  * Fixed self-hosted deployments on local filesystem storage keeping stale trailing data when an existing file was overwritten with shorter content. ([`a334b20`](https://github.com/e2b-dev/runtime/commit/a334b20e1e4dcae2c7d4f26da839acc1dfbefe5d))
  * Reliability and security hardening across platform services, including dependency and base image CVE patches.
</Update>

<Update label="September 21, 2026" description="V2 sandbox endpoints and CLI sandbox fork">
  ## V2 Sandbox Endpoints & CLI Sandbox Fork

  This week adds v2 sandbox create and connect endpoints in the SDKs and a CLI command to fork sandboxes.

  ### V2 sandbox create and connect endpoints

  `Sandbox.create` and `Sandbox.connect` now call `POST /v2/sandboxes` and `POST /v2/sandboxes/{id}/connect`, and the SDKs stop presetting `timeout`, `allow_internet_access`, `count`, `memory`, `cpuCount`, and `memoryMB` when you omit them, so the API defaults apply. Every sandbox is secured, and the `secure` option is accepted but ignored. Shipped in the JavaScript and Python SDKs 2.51.0 and desktop-python 2.6.0. ([#1749](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/1749), [`f5dc642`](https://github.com/e2b-dev/runtime/commit/f5dc6426ef45b6b286ff60c11fc6bba7e00db95e))

  ### Fork sandboxes from the CLI

  The [`e2b sandbox fork`](/cli/fork-sandbox) command, aliased `sbx fk`, forks a running sandbox into one or more new sandboxes and prints each new ID on its own line. Configure the count with `-n` or `--count` and the fork timeout with `--timeout`. Shipped in the CLI 2.20.0. ([#1879](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/1879))

  ### V1 template build removed

  The SDKs and CLI drop the V1 template build endpoints from generated clients and remove the hidden `e2b template build` command stub. Build templates with `e2b template create` or the [Template SDK](/template/build). Shipped in the JavaScript and Python SDKs 2.50.0 and CLI 2.19.1. ([#1875](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/1875))

  ### Fixes

  * Fixed browser uploads of non-native `ReadableStream` objects writing the literal text `[object ReadableStream]` instead of the file contents. Shipped in the JavaScript SDK 2.50.0. ([#1609](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/1609))
  * Browser requests interrupted by sandbox termination now report `TimeoutError` when the SDK confirms the sandbox has stopped, instead of a generic network error. Shipped in the JavaScript SDK 2.50.0. ([#1609](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/1609))
  * Fixed an issue where cancelling a pause request could leave its snapshot unavailable for resume. Server shutdown now waits for in-progress pauses before closing the connections they need to save their snapshots. ([`ace695a`](https://github.com/e2b-dev/runtime/commit/ace695a10d3ca731b444c197e9d4fe4237515868), [`0a55a0e`](https://github.com/e2b-dev/runtime/commit/0a55a0ec3141e4c57b8c8d0d45f2c2213b72356a))
  * Fixed the sandbox proxy dropping in-flight connections during shutdown. ([`2b619db`](https://github.com/e2b-dev/runtime/commit/2b619db20ef555514fdadf63edeed72a22db6009))
  * Reliability and security hardening across platform services, including dependency and base image CVE patches.

<Update label="September 14, 2026" description="E2B Embed, automatic 429 retries, and OpenAI Agents API examples">
  ## E2B Embed & Automatic 429 Retries

  This week adds E2B Embed, automatic SDK retries, and an OpenAI Agents API guide with public examples.

  ### E2B Embed for self-hosted deployments

  Run E2B on your infrastructure with Docker Compose, Terraform, or Kubernetes deployments and pinned service images. ([`c20cb30`](https://github.com/e2b-dev/infra/commit/c20cb3049f34011eb9704445fa08c09baf24a480), [`7278c2a`](https://github.com/e2b-dev/infra/commit/7278c2a380767c9989da73cf4c04b1af1b32da18))

  ### Automatic 429 retries in the SDKs

  Control plane HTTP requests retry up to three times on 429, honoring delta-seconds `Retry-After`. Configure or disable with `retries`. Sandbox command, filesystem, and volume content requests are not retried. Shipped in the JavaScript and Python SDKs 2.49.1. ([#1848](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/1848), [#1862](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/1862))

  ### Configurable minimum free disk on template create

  Set a [template build](/template/build) free-disk target with `minFreeDiskMb` (JavaScript), `min_free_disk_mb` (Python), or `--min-free-disk-mb` (CLI). Omission uses the project default. Zero requests no minimum growth. Shipped in the JavaScript and Python SDKs 2.49.0 and CLI 2.19.0. ([#1845](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/1845))

  ### Dedicated E2B client on Desktop and Code Interpreter

  The Desktop and Code Interpreter `E2B` clients bind API keys and domains explicitly. Per-call options take precedence, and clients stay isolated. Shipped in Desktop 2.4.0, desktop-python 2.5.0, code-interpreter 2.8.0, and code-interpreter-python 2.10.0. ([#1783](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/1783), [#1784](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/1784))

  ### Sharper SDK error surface

  HTTP 503 raises `ServiceBusyError` or `ServiceBusyException`. API errors expose `statusCode` or `status_code`. `Sandbox.create` and `Sandbox.connect` reject invalid `onTimeout` and `onResume` values. Shipped in the JavaScript and Python SDKs 2.48.0 and 2.49.1. ([#1832](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/1832), [#1822](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/1822), [#1853](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/1853))

  ### New integration and reference guides

  The [OpenAI Agents API guide](/agents/openai-agents-api) includes public Workbench and webhook-managed examples. Requires OpenAI Agents API preview access. New reference docs cover [Volumes beta limitations](/faq/volumes-beta-limitations), [Secrets management and injection](/secrets), and [exported OTel metrics](/sandbox/otel-telemetry-export). Volumes and Secrets remain in private beta.

  ### Fixes

  * Desktop `Sandbox.create()` waits for the desktop session to be ready and cleans up on startup failure. Shipped in Desktop JavaScript 2.4.0 and Python 2.5.0. ([#1794](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/1794))
  * Self-hosted `REDIS_URL` accepts passwords in `redis://` and `rediss://` URLs without exposing raw URLs in parse errors. ([`29462af`](https://github.com/e2b-dev/infra/commit/29462afe56fd06b10b77e5ae2cf0b07a1c313f7d), [`ae13f0c`](https://github.com/e2b-dev/infra/commit/ae13f0cbe5d5d11d4c947a07e73b299370475e81))
  * Fixed openssh upgrades blocking template builds on configuration-file prompts. ([`52df1d9`](https://github.com/e2b-dev/infra/commit/52df1d987c47cd3cdde92d828a59b1e64b8bbf38))
  * CLI 2.18.2 skips update checks when `NO_UPDATE_NOTIFIER` is set. ([#1837](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/1837))
  * Reliability and security hardening across platform services, including dependency and base image CVE patches.
</Update>

<Update label="September 7, 2026" description="Workspaces rollout, Cursor integration, and sandbox improvements">
  ## Workspaces & Cursor Integration

  Workspaces are rolling out in the console, and new templates connect Cursor Self-Hosted Machines to E2B. This week also adds HTTPS backend ports, higher Python SDK concurrency, and new integration guides.

  ### Workspaces are rolling out

  [Workspaces](/workspaces) bring your projects and access management into one place in the E2B Console. Add members to a workspace to give them access to all its projects, or add them to an individual project. Existing projects and API keys keep working, and billing remains per project.

  ### Cursor self-hosted agents on E2B

  Run Cursor Self-Hosted Machines on E2B with the new `cursor-agents` dispatcher and `cursor-agents-worker` templates. The dispatcher creates a dedicated worker sandbox for each request. Requires Cursor Enterprise with Self-Hosted Machines enabled and a service-account API key. Follow the [Cursor setup guide](/agents/cursor).

  ### HTTPS backend ports on sandbox create

  Sandbox creation accepts a `network.httpsPorts` list naming the ports the platform connects to over HTTPS, so a service inside the sandbox that only serves TLS can sit behind its public URL instead of failing with a 502. The list survives pause and resume and is returned on sandbox reads. ([`b5f419a`](https://github.com/e2b-dev/infra/commit/b5f419a2b122f8ff881497681bde0d109cbbf0fe))

  ### Higher stream concurrency in the Python SDK

  The Python SDK now spreads each sandbox's command and file traffic across four connection pools by default, so running more than 100 concurrent operations in one process no longer stalls behind a single connection's stream limit. Set `E2B_ENVD_POOL_SHARDS` before importing `e2b` for more headroom. Shipped in the Python SDK 2.46.4. ([#1793](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/1793))

  ### Self-hosted deployments without Loki

  Self-hosted deployments can now run without a Loki instance: the `LOKI_URL` variable is optional, and the new `LOGS_READ_CONFIG` variable selects the backend used for reading sandbox logs. ([`8006b78`](https://github.com/e2b-dev/infra/commit/8006b7863ee201e60a25e83e5d9cb6ab364e98b0))

  ### Dashboard sandbox quickstart

  The dashboard now opens on the sandbox list, and when a project has no running or paused sandboxes the list shows a quickstart with copyable CLI, JavaScript, and Python steps for creating a first sandbox from the `base` template.

  ### New integration guides

  New guides cover [Agno](/agents/agno), [NVIDIA NeMo Gym](/agents/nemo-gym), and [Muse Code](/agents/muse).

  ### Fixes

  * Template builds from minimal RPM-family base images, such as Rocky Linux minimal or UBI, no longer fail during the final build step. ([`12ee9b1`](https://github.com/e2b-dev/infra/commit/12ee9b1062d59a76c5d6b2df26e3e53c66fdbc08))
  * Fixed commands in a resumed sandbox running as root instead of the sandbox's default user after a platform upgrade. Affected sandboxes recover on their next resume. ([`972e9d3`](https://github.com/e2b-dev/infra/commit/972e9d33bcaa37349c4d81608b45dd4c4a6cb33e))
  * Fixed log lines written shortly before a pause being dropped from sandbox logs after resume. ([`e915d32`](https://github.com/e2b-dev/infra/commit/e915d32bfc471a5e102419549db4ab977efa027c))
  * Fixed sandbox pause reporting a failure when a process inside the sandbox exited while the pause was in progress. ([`27eefde`](https://github.com/e2b-dev/infra/commit/27eefded9fc16f0043c023222eec18882c08862c))
  * Volume uploads rejected mid-transfer now return the actual rejection status instead of a generic failure.
  * Reliability and security hardening across platform services, including dependency and base image CVE patches.
</Update>

<Update label="August 31, 2026" description="Wildcard transform rules and API key validation">
  ## Wildcard Transform Rules & Server-Side API Key Validation

  This week improves sandbox networking and authentication with wildcard domains in transform rules, server-side API key validation, and readable proxy errors for browser requests.

  ### Wildcard domains in network transform rules

  [Network transform rules](/network/internet-access) now accept a single leading wildcard label, such as `*.example.com`, so one rule can transform requests to subdomains at any depth. Exact keys take precedence, and when several wildcards match, the most specific one applies. ([`d843e3f`](https://github.com/e2b-dev/infra/commit/d843e3f00d708e292c31a5841a2fe1fcfc1f2997))

  ### Server-side API key validation

  The SDKs no longer check the `e2b_` [API key](/api-key) format on the client; the `validateApiKey` and `validate_api_key` options are deprecated and have no effect. The API validates keys instead and returns a distinct 401 message for a malformed key. Shipped in the JavaScript and Python SDKs 2.46.0. ([#1751](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/1751))

  ### Readable proxy errors for browser requests

  Error responses synthesized in front of a sandbox, such as when the sandbox is unreachable, now carry CORS headers and answer preflight requests, so browser code can read the actual error instead of hitting a generic network failure. ([`32c6b84`](https://github.com/e2b-dev/infra/commit/32c6b84d4bacb515a94d0fa0252560f777faef08))

  ### Sandbox git module deprecation

  The sandbox `git` module is deprecated as of the JavaScript and Python SDKs 2.46.1 and will be removed in the next major version. Run git through [`commands.run`](/commands) instead. ([#1774](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/1774))

  ### CLI configuration file scope

  The CLI no longer reads `e2b.toml` outside `e2b template migrate`; the `sandbox create`, `template delete`, `template publish`, and `template unpublish` commands take the template as an argument instead of the `--config` and `--path` flags. This is a breaking change in CLI 2.18.0. ([#1761](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/1761))

  ### Fixes

  * The CLI now passes flags placed after the command in `e2b sandbox exec` through to the remote command, and `e2b sandbox create --detach` prints only the sandbox ID to stdout. ([#1759](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/1759), [#1762](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/1762))
  * Fixed the JavaScript SDK dropping a malformed `egressProxy` address instead of raising a clear error, and null proxy credentials are no longer sent to the API (SDK 2.46.0). ([#1757](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/1757))
  * Fixed snapshot and template builds staying stuck in a non-terminal status after a client disconnect or a rejected pause. ([`8586a66`](https://github.com/e2b-dev/infra/commit/8586a66a5e84504536b2df9b7e28efe9069d8284), [`42f6997`](https://github.com/e2b-dev/infra/commit/42f699786534f1c0ad625ce9b4b7b922b3a16834), [`0159f8c`](https://github.com/e2b-dev/infra/commit/0159f8c0fa5b03c2a1bbe706f35ceea41bcd23c5))
  * Fixed command starts in a sandbox that has exhausted memory or processes returning a generic error instead of a retryable resource exhaustion error. ([`f733a71`](https://github.com/e2b-dev/infra/commit/f733a713361e65633c2cb437c3de1ad755964a1a))
  * Fixed streamed requests aborted mid-response ending with a cut connection instead of a proper error status. ([`3affe52`](https://github.com/e2b-dev/infra/commit/3affe5280b7e1cf8a182840cc50964a6bc5b569d))
  * Fixed the dashboard webhook editor not offering the `sandbox.lifecycle.checkpointed` [event](/sandbox/lifecycle-events-webhooks).
  * Self-hosted deployments no longer cache a missing platform file on AWS, which kept sandbox startup failing after the file became available, and failed multipart uploads to Google Cloud Storage are aborted instead of orphaning parts. ([`19ad718`](https://github.com/e2b-dev/infra/commit/19ad71816c3eda57d133f8145ef541dc609c2217), [`9e1caea`](https://github.com/e2b-dev/infra/commit/9e1caea40fc75eb2e07cbe75129db7d3eceb7e4e))
  * Reliability and security hardening across platform services, including dependency and base image CVE patches.

<Update label="August 24, 2026" description="SOCKS5 egress proxy, sandbox list filters, and snapshot CLI">
  ## Bring Your Own Proxy & Sandbox List Filters

  This week routes sandbox egress through your own SOCKS5 proxy, adds sorting and filters to sandbox listing, and ships snapshot management commands in the CLI.

  ### Bring your own proxy for sandbox egress

  `Sandbox.create` accepts a [`network.egressProxy`](/network/byop) option that tunnels every outbound TCP connection through a SOCKS5 proxy you operate, applied on the host after `allowOut` and `denyOut` so code inside the sandbox cannot see or route around it. `updateNetwork` swaps the proxy on a running sandbox, and egress fails closed when the proxy is unreachable. Shipped in the JavaScript and Python SDKs 2.41.0. ([#1688](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/1688))

  ### Sandbox list sorting and filters

  [`Sandbox.list`](/sandbox/list) accepts an `order` option (`asc` or `desc`, default `desc`) that sorts by start time across the paginated dataset, plus `startedAfter` and `template` filters that apply server-side. The `e2b sandbox list` command exposes the same knobs through `--order`, `--started-after`, and `--template`. Shipped in the JavaScript and Python SDKs 2.45.0 and the CLI 2.17.0. ([#1735](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/1735), [`e6de33c`](https://github.com/e2b-dev/infra/commit/e6de33c74602b6ba116bb041e70e8bba73133550))

  ### Snapshot commands in the CLI

  The [`e2b sandbox snapshot`](/cli/manage-snapshots) group adds `create <sandboxID>` with an optional `--name`, `list [sandboxID]` with a `--name` filter, and `delete <snapshotIDs...>`. Shipped in the CLI 2.17.0. ([#1741](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/1741))

  ### Machine-readable sandbox placement errors

  A failed `POST /sandboxes` now returns a machine-readable `error_code` paired with a status: 503 with `cluster_at_capacity` or `no_compatible_node`, 504 with `placement_timeout`, and 500 with `sandbox_create_failed`, instead of a bare 500. ([`c426430`](https://github.com/e2b-dev/infra/commit/c4264309b3776dbd7b0d456d882afbb97187dc78))

  ### Multi-connection SDK client

  The new [`E2B` client](/client) binds a connection config once and exposes `Sandbox`, `Volume`, and `Template` off it, so one process can talk to several API keys, domains, or self-hosted deployments in parallel. Shipped in the JavaScript and Python SDKs 2.44.0. ([#1720](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/1720))

  ### Refreshed MCP server catalog

  The [MCP server catalog](/mcp-gateway/available-servers) picks up 49 new servers and drops six retired ones from the `McpServer` type, so `Template().addMcpServer("postgres")` stops compiling. Shipped in the JavaScript and Python SDKs 2.42.0. ([#1716](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/1716))

  ### Fixes

  * Improved pause and resume reliability for sandboxes running systemd units under a slice or a nested container runtime, removing the tail of slow resumes those workloads used to see. ([`f06e9bc`](https://github.com/e2b-dev/infra/commit/f06e9bc1e2d605e1e11b65cc3242a8af0c7a3151))
  * Fixed sandbox create failing with a retryable 500 when `denyOut` or `allowOut` contained a CIDR whose range ended at `255.255.255.255`, such as `240.0.0.0/4`. ([`9f6c2eb`](https://github.com/e2b-dev/infra/commit/9f6c2eb54efcaf32a087e854c689793dd01fd200))
  * Fixed network `transform` rules with a wildcard host key such as `*.github.com` not matching connections whose TLS SNI matched the wildcard. ([`9072e15`](https://github.com/e2b-dev/infra/commit/9072e15e7b8a08fa47fee77f3236fff26ea93ac2))
  * Fixed the Python SDK 2.45.1 buffering streamed request bodies across retries, so `files.write` of a file-like object and `volume.write_file` no longer scale peak memory with file size. ([#1718](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/1718))
  * Fixed the JavaScript SDK 2.42.0 sending `autoResume` and `autoPause` local defaults on create when no lifecycle was configured, so the API can apply its own defaults. ([#1693](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/1693), [#1694](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/1694))
  * Reliability and security hardening across platform services, including dependency and base image CVE patches.

<Update label="August 17, 2026" description="Workload identity in SDKs, faster Python HTTP, and clearer placement errors">
  ## Workload Identity in the SDKs & Faster Python HTTP

  This week ships sandbox workload identity in both SDKs, moves the Python SDK onto a Rust HTTP stack, and returns detailed sandbox placement failure reasons.

  ### Sandbox workload identity in the SDKs

  `Sandbox.create` now takes an `iam` option with a `tokens` map defining short-lived [workload identity](/iam/workload-identity) tokens by audience and type, via the new `Secret.iamToken` helper (`Secret.iam_token` in Python). A network rule's `transform` can be a callback receiving token placeholders, so a token reaches egress request headers without the SDK seeing its value. Shipped in the JavaScript and Python SDKs 2.39.0. ([#1606](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/1606), [#1616](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/1616))

  ### Python SDK moves to a Rust HTTP stack

  The Python SDK 2.38.0 routes the control plane, sandbox file transfers, volume content, and template build-context uploads through `pyqwest`, a Rust transport for `httpx`. Connection pools are now process-global per proxy, and `request_timeout` is a whole-transfer deadline. `E2B_MAX_CONNECTIONS` is no longer read. ([#1601](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/1601), [#1602](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/1602), [#1603](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/1603), [#1623](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/1623))

  ### Detailed sandbox placement failure reasons

  A failed sandbox create or resume now returns a message naming the reason: cluster at capacity, no compatible node, placement timed out, snapshot files missing, or repeated create failures. Every case previously returned a bare `Failed to place sandbox`. ([`063aa20`](https://github.com/e2b-dev/infra/commit/063aa20c871116c80915ab1f5c2e81d804e6b2d0))

  ### Sandbox concurrency add-on management in the dashboard

  The billing page in the [console](https://console.e2b.dev) lets you buy multiple sandbox concurrency add-on units, schedule a reduction or cancellation at the end of the billing period, and see plan and add-on costs itemized in the monthly total.

  ### Fixes

  * Fixed sandbox proxy errors returning the HTML error page to browser `fetch()` and `XMLHttpRequest` callers that expected JSON, by using `Accept`, `Sec-Fetch-Mode`, and `X-Requested-With` before the User-Agent sniff. ([`d70ca24`](https://github.com/e2b-dev/infra/commit/d70ca24dbe1325b8f773b1435224efa862ae5156))
  * Fixed sandboxes resumed from large snapshots losing the working set the platform preloads on resume when the snapshot upload took longer than expected, which made the next resume slower than it should be. ([`aeab31d`](https://github.com/e2b-dev/infra/commit/aeab31df792a293066a28286a80829e75db28463))
  * Restored the `http2` parameter on the Python SDK 2.39.1 transport factories, so `http2=False` again returns a transport pinned to HTTP/1.1. ([#1671](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/1671))
  * Reliability and security hardening across platform services, including dependency and base image CVE patches.

<Update label="August 10, 2026" description="Self-hosted proxy retirement, template cert repair, and SDK install fixes">
  ## Self-Hosted Proxy Retirement & Template Cert Repair

  This week retires the deprecated reverse-proxy service on self-hosted clusters, repairs SSL trust stores baked into templates, and unblocks Python SDK installs alongside newer `wcmatch`.

  ### Reverse-proxy service retired on self-hosted clusters

  Self-hosted deployments no longer build or ship the reverse-proxy service. `DOCKER_REVERSE_PROXY_VERSION` is removed from both `.env.aws.template` and `.env.gcp.template`, and a new `DOCKER_REVERSE_PROXY_ENABLED` toggle (default on) controls whether the AWS ECR repository is created and whether the GCP deployment runs. Clusters without a prebuilt `docker-reverse-proxy:latest` image must set the toggle to `false`. ([`d153bbe`](https://github.com/e2b-dev/infra/commit/d153bbe9d1e2ccd5e087d7c1dece5b8974175b54))

  ### Repaired SSL trust store in template builds

  Template builds that install SSL-related packages such as `ca-certificates` or `openjdk` no longer leave the finalized template with a half-configured package or a silently broken Java trust store. Directory paths under `/etc/ssl/certs` claimed by installed packages are restored before the certificate bundle is packed. Existing broken templates need a rebuild. ([`6f17229a`](https://github.com/e2b-dev/infra/commit/6f17229a2a75695de19cbbba4f8f65a7f13ec6c5))

  ### Separate egress marking for template builds and sandboxes

  On [BYOC](/byoc) clusters that opt in to [DSCP marking](/deployment/dscp-marking), template-build traffic can now carry a different DSCP value from sandbox traffic, so a downstream firewall or shaper can classify the two separately. An unset build value inherits the sandbox value, and an explicit `0` disables marking for builds only. ([`41c38cbe`](https://github.com/e2b-dev/infra/commit/41c38cbec4681192584139931ef294eaee8297d2))

  ### Python SDK installs alongside newer wcmatch

  The Python SDK 2.37.1 relaxes its `wcmatch` requirement to `>=10.1,<12`, so `pip install e2b 'deepagents>=0.7.0'` and other combinations that pull in `wcmatch` 11 resolve without a conflict. ([#1638](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/1638))

  ### Public Git argument and status types in the JavaScript SDK

  The JavaScript SDK 2.38.1 exports `GitResetMode`, `GitResetOpts`, `GitRestoreOpts`, and `GitStatusLabel` from the `e2b` package entry, so you can annotate wrappers around `sandbox.git.reset()`, `sandbox.git.restore()`, and `sandbox.git.status()` without inferring types. ([#1642](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/1642))

  ### Fixes

  * Aligned the Python SDK 2.37.1 `strip_ansi_escape_codes` with the JavaScript SDK 2.38.1 `stripAnsi`, so template build logs are cleaned identically across languages and OSC, CSI, DCS, SOS, PM, and APC control sequences no longer leak into cleaned output. ([#1545](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/1545))
  * Reliability and security hardening across platform services, including dependency and base image CVE patches.
</Update>

<Update label="August 3, 2026" description="Access tokens disabled, multi-distro templates, and CLI session flags">
  ## Access Tokens Disabled & Multi-Distro Templates

  Access tokens are now disabled, so authenticate the CLI with `E2B_API_KEY` instead. This week also improves templates and terminal workflows with Fedora, Alpine, Arch, and NixOS base images, CLI session flags, and cross-runtime detection of web platform objects.

  ### Access tokens are now disabled

  As of August 1, 2026, E2B no longer accepts access tokens for authentication, completing the [`E2B_ACCESS_TOKEN` deprecation](/migration/access-token-deprecation) announced on June 22. Any CLI command or request still authenticated with an access token now fails. Authenticate the CLI with `E2B_API_KEY` instead, the same key the SDKs use. This also affects the V1 build system, which authenticated with the access token; see the [V1 build system deprecation](/migration/v1-build-deprecation) to migrate to V2 builds that use `E2B_API_KEY`.

  ### Fedora, Alpine, Arch, and NixOS base images

  Templates can now start from Fedora, Alpine, and Arch [base images](/template/base-image) using the new `fromFedoraImage`, `fromAlpineImage`, and `fromArchImage` helpers in JavaScript SDK 2.37.0, or `from_fedora_image`, `from_alpine_image`, and `from_arch_image` in Python SDK 2.36.0. Base image provisioning identifies the distribution from `/etc/os-release`, and unsupported images fail the build with a clear reason. The premade `e2bdev/nixos` image adds NixOS support for images whose packages and services are declared in the image configuration. ([#3411](https://github.com/e2b-dev/infra/pull/3411), [#3412](https://github.com/e2b-dev/infra/pull/3412), [#1612](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/1612), [#1625](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/1625))

  ### Terminal session flags in the CLI

  `e2b sandbox create` and `e2b sandbox connect` now accept `--user`, `--cwd`, and repeatable `--env KEY=VALUE` flags in `@e2b/cli` 2.16.1. The connected terminal starts as the given user, in the given working directory, and with the given environment variables. ([#1501](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/1501))

  ### Cross-runtime detection of web platform objects

  The JavaScript SDK in version 2.37.0 now identifies `Request`, `Blob`, `File`, and `ReadableStream` values by shape rather than by class, so replacements installed by frameworks such as remix, `@hono/node-server`, and jsdom test environments no longer take the wrong branch. This fixes API calls failing with `Failed to parse URL from [object Request]`, uploads that silently contained the text `[object Blob]`, and `volume.readFile()` returning empty data. ([#1618](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/1618))

  ### BYOC volume endpoints return the cluster domain

  Teams connected to a custom [BYOC cluster](/byoc) now receive their cluster domain from the volume create and get endpoints, and the SDKs route volume content requests to that host instead of the default `api.<E2B_DOMAIN>`. Teams on the default cluster keep their configured default. ([#3490](https://github.com/e2b-dev/infra/pull/3490))

  ### Cleaner installs of the JavaScript SDK and CLI

  Installing `e2b` and `@e2b/cli` no longer prints deprecation warnings for the transitive `glob` package. The JavaScript SDK moves to `glob` 13 in version 2.36.1, and the CLI moves `@npmcli/package-json` to version 7 in `@e2b/cli` 2.16.0, dropping fresh install package counts from 37 to 26 for the SDK and from 183 to 145 for the CLI. ([#1613](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/1613), [#1614](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/1614))

  ### Fixes

  * Fixed [template builds](/template/build) failing when a `copy` step targeted a trailing-slash destination that did not already exist in the base image, so `COPY test.sh /tests/` now creates `/tests/` on demand. ([#3458](https://github.com/e2b-dev/infra/pull/3458))
  * Template builds now fall back to the base image's declared `ID_LIKE` family with a best-effort warning when the exact distribution is not known, restoring builds from Debian derivatives such as Kali. ([#3459](https://github.com/e2b-dev/infra/pull/3459))
  * The API now rejects a `timeout` of zero or a negative number on sandbox create, resume, and fork with a `400 Bad Request` instead of accepting the value and failing later. ([#3419](https://github.com/e2b-dev/infra/pull/3419))
  * Fixed a failing local disk on a sandbox host taking down every sandbox on the machine, so a bad block now fails a single read instead of the whole node. ([#3385](https://github.com/e2b-dev/infra/pull/3385))
  * Reliability and security hardening across platform services, including dependency and base image CVE patches.
</Update>

<Update label="July 27, 2026" description="Projects rename, symlink support, Python SDK transport">
  ## Projects Rename, Symlink Support & Python SDK Transport

  This week improves the CLI and SDKs with the team-to-project rename, symlink listing in filesystem calls, and a rebuilt Python transport layer.

  ### Team-to-project rename in the CLI

  The CLI now uses "project" wording in terminal output, replaces the `--team` flag with `--project`, and adds an `E2B_PROJECT_ID` environment variable, matching the platform-wide switch to [projects](/projects). The renamed CLI configuration file at `~/.e2b/config.json` migrates on first use, and the previous team-named flags and variables continue to work. ([#1570](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/1570), [#1577](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/1577), [#1580](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/1580))

  ### Symlinks in filesystem listings

  The JavaScript and Python SDKs now surface symbolic links from `files.list()` and `files.getInfo()` with a dedicated `FileType.SYMLINK` type and a `symlinkTarget` or `symlink_target` field carrying the link destination, so agents can traverse and inspect linked files instead of skipping them. See [file and directory metadata](/filesystem/info). ([#1564](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/1564))

  ### Python SDK transport rebuild

  The Python SDK ships a rebuilt transport for sandbox commands, filesystem, and PTY calls in version 2.35.0, replacing its vendored client. The rebuild removes the direct `protobuf` package dependency and normalizes error handling, so `CommandResult.error` is now `None` on success instead of an empty string. ([#1558](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/1558))

  ### Cloudflare Workers and edge runtime compatibility

  The JavaScript SDK now imports cleanly under Cloudflare Workers and other edge runtimes, removing bare `require` calls that crashed at module load and dropping a `new Function` shim rejected by strict content-security policies. ([#1583](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/1583), [#1607](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/1607))

  ### Fixes

  * The API now includes the exhaustion reason in "node exhausted" placement warnings, so capacity errors identify which resource ran out. ([#3279](https://github.com/e2b-dev/infra/pull/3279))
  * The API now exposes pagination headers through CORS, so browser clients can read `x-total-count` and cursor headers on paginated list endpoints. ([#3388](https://github.com/e2b-dev/infra/pull/3388))
  * Deleting an API key now invalidates the authentication cache immediately, so a revoked key stops working without waiting for the previous cache window to expire. ([#3324](https://github.com/e2b-dev/infra/pull/3324))
  * Volume operations now return the correct HTTP status codes for not-found and conflict cases instead of a generic 500. ([#3371](https://github.com/e2b-dev/infra/pull/3371))
  * The CLI now sorts `e2b sandbox list` output by sandbox start timestamp rather than the locale-formatted date string, so entries appear in true chronological order. ([#1573](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/1573))
  * The JavaScript SDK now selects stack-trace frames by SDK boundary, so error stacks point at user code even when the SDK internals change depth. ([#1599](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/1599))
  * Reliability and security hardening across platform services, including dependency and base image CVE patches.
</Update>

<Update label="July 21, 2026" description="Sandbox forking, snapshot name filter, and template fixes">
  ## Sandbox Forking & Snapshot Name Filters

  This week improves sandbox provisioning and snapshot workflows with in-place sandbox forking, name-based snapshot lookup, and Docker-compatible template file copying.

  ### Sandbox forking

  You can now fork a running [sandbox](/sandbox) to spin up one or more clones from its exact in-memory state. The source is briefly paused, snapshotted, and resumed with its ID and expiration untouched, while each fork is returned independently as a running sandbox or a per-fork error. Use `sandbox.fork({ count, timeoutMs })` in JavaScript SDK 2.35.0 or `sandbox.fork(count=..., timeout=...)` in Python SDK 2.34.0. ([#3202](https://github.com/e2b-dev/infra/pull/3202), [#1554](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/1554))

  ### Snapshot filtering by name

  `Sandbox.listSnapshots()` and `Sandbox.list_snapshots()` now accept a `name` filter matching a snapshot name or ID, optionally tag-qualified such as `"my-team/my-snapshot:v1"`. It combines with the existing sandbox ID filter and returns an empty page for unknown names. Available in JavaScript SDK 2.34.0 and Python SDK 2.33.0. ([#1523](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/1523))

  ### Docker-compatible template file copies

  The [template `copy` step](/template/defining-template) now merges into existing destination directories instead of replacing them, matching Docker `COPY` semantics. Copying `src/` into an image that already has files under `/app/src/` preserves those entries and only overwrites what the source provides. ([#3283](https://github.com/e2b-dev/infra/pull/3283))

  ### Fixes

  * Fixed template builds occasionally reporting a failed command stream as success, so build failures now surface reliably. ([#3281](https://github.com/e2b-dev/infra/pull/3281))
  * Fixed [template builds](/template/build) sizing the root filesystem from stale free-space totals, which could leave the resized template short on space after an unclean shutdown. ([#3282](https://github.com/e2b-dev/infra/pull/3282))
  * Fixed copying a template layer when the source snapshot contained only a filesystem image and no memory state. ([#3299](https://github.com/e2b-dev/infra/pull/3299))
  * Fixed resumed sandboxes forwarding stale pre-resume log lines with their old timestamps instead of dropping them. ([#3297](https://github.com/e2b-dev/infra/pull/3297))
  * Fixed the JavaScript SDK `Template.copy()` resolving source paths against the SDK's own directory under `target: es2022` and above. ([#1539](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/1539))
  * Fixed the Python SDK leaking a proxy connection pool on every [volume](/volumes) operation when a proxy was configured, and added connect-level retries via `E2B_CONNECTION_RETRIES`. ([#1534](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/1534))
  * Self-hosted: fixed the Nomad node-pool autoscaler terminating random allocations when downscaling ineligible nodes. ([#3301](https://github.com/e2b-dev/infra/pull/3301))
  * Reliability and security hardening across platform services, including dependency and base image CVE patches.
</Update>

<Update label="July 14, 2026" description="Storage, sandbox reliability, and template build fixes">
  ## New features

  **Per-role storage URLs for self-hosted deployments**

  Self-hosted deployments can now point templates and the build cache at different storage backends by setting `TEMPLATE_STORAGE_URL` and `BUILD_CACHE_STORAGE_URL` to full destination URLs, including `s3://`, `gs://`, and `file://` schemes. Existing bucket and provider environment variables continue to work unchanged. ([#3246](https://github.com/e2b-dev/infra/pull/3246))

  ## Updates

  **Compressed uploads for AWS storage**

  Self-hosted deployments backed by AWS S3 can now upload template layers with the same compressed transfer path already used for other providers, cutting bandwidth on large template builds. ([#3232](https://github.com/e2b-dev/infra/pull/3232))

  ## Bug fixes

  * Fixed an issue where a resumed sandbox could silently drop outbound traffic until its network cache re-resolved, causing stalled connections right after resume. ([#3271](https://github.com/e2b-dev/infra/pull/3271))
  * Fixed a rare deadlock in [sandbox command execution](/commands) where cancelling a request while a command was starting could leave the call hung. ([#3256](https://github.com/e2b-dev/infra/pull/3256))
  * Fixed [template build](/template/build) failures caused by incorrect compressed uploads and cache handling for template layers. ([#3231](https://github.com/e2b-dev/infra/pull/3231))
  * Fixed an issue where creating a template could fail with a stale lock error when a previous build had exited without cleaning up. ([#3217](https://github.com/e2b-dev/infra/pull/3217))
  * Fixed [template builds](/template/build) unpacking OCI image layers so that whiteouts and permissions match the behavior of the Docker daemon. ([#3215](https://github.com/e2b-dev/infra/pull/3215))
  * Fixed an issue where a sandbox could remain accounted for after being removed, keeping it in the paused list until the next reconciliation. ([#3199](https://github.com/e2b-dev/infra/pull/3199))
  * Reliability and security hardening across platform services, including dependency and base image CVE patches.

<Update label="March 30, 2024" description="Local sandbox template builds">
  Build of docker image for a new template is now done on user's local machine instead of E2B's cloud. Here's how this new approach improves the DX:

  * Allows referencing private docker images
  * Manages build cache
  * Higher iteration speed
  * Prevents uploading `node_modules` or `venv` by accident
  * Option to use a 3rd party service like GitHub Actions to build the sandbox template.

  To build a new template users have to upgrade their CLI to the newest version:

  `npm install -g @e2b/cli@latest`

  Find more about building your custom templates [here](https://docs.e2b.dev/guide/custom-sandbox).

<Update label="March 3, 2024" description="Faster sandboxes and custom CPU and RAM">
  ### Up to 5x faster sandboxes

  We implemented huge pages - a feature that allows customers to use 2 MiB chunks of memory instead of 4 KiB chunks, which are the default.

  Huge pages are now enabled by default in all newly created custom sandboxes. If a user has an existing custom sandbox, they must rebuild it by calling `e2b build` in the directory with the `e2b.toml` file.

  ### Custom CPU And RAM

  We allowed Pro users to [customize the number of vCPUs and RAM size](https://github.com/e2b-dev/infra/pull/85) for the sandboxes. The sandbox compute now also has a [dedicated page](https://docs.e2b.dev/sandbox/compute) in our documentation.

  Pro users can now choose:

  * 1 - 8 vCPUs
  * 128 MiB - 8 GiB RAM

  <img alt="Faster sandboxes and custom CPU and RAM" />

  ### Other fixed bugs and improvements

  * [Fix upload path for FC versions](https://github.com/e2b-dev/infra/pull/87)
  * [Add command for killing sandboxes in our experimental SDK](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/318)
  * [Release CLI v0.3](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/320)
  * [Document process for customizing sandbox compute](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/322)
  * [Fix type issue in Python 3.8](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/324)

</Update>

<Update label="November 24, 2023" description="Week #17">
  This week we made improvements in our SDK, added new features for sandboxes, and fixed bugs.

  ### Start command

  [Custom sandboxes](https://docs.e2b.dev/sandbox/templates/overview) now allow you to [**specify a command**](https://docs.e2b.dev/sandbox/templates/start-cmd) that will be running when a sandbox is spawned. This way you can run a command that will **start your app or any specific process**.

  When building a [sandbox template](https://docs.e2b.dev/sandbox/templates/template-file), you can specify the start command using the `-c` option.

  ```
  e2b build -c "npm start"
  ```

  ### Delete sandbox template

  We released an option for [**deleting sandbox templates**](https://docs.e2b.dev/cli/commands#delete).

  ```
  e2b delete
  ```
</Update>

<Update label="November 17, 2023" description="Sandbox for OpenAI's Assistants">
  This week we are announcing [**native support**](https://docs.e2b.dev/llm-platforms/openai) for the new **OpenAI's Assistants API**. That means you can now **define actions** for the AI assistant and we will **automatically execute** them inside the **E2B Sandbox**.

  Combined with the [**custom sandboxes**](https://docs.e2b.dev/sandbox/templates/overview) feature, this allows you to create powerful AI assistants with **tools completely predefined by you**.

  To try the OpenAI Assistants with E2B, **start** [**here**](https://docs.e2b.dev/llm-platforms/openai)**.** You can follow our **guide in** [**Python**](https://docs.e2b.dev/llm-platforms/openai#python) **or** [**JavaScript**](https://docs.e2b.dev/llm-platforms/openai#java-script).

  See the complete code in the [**E2B Cookbook**](https://github.com/e2b-dev/e2b-cookbook).

  ### New feature: Reconnect to running sandbox

  This week we launched a new experimental SDK feature. If you want to **keep the sandbox alive** after disconnecting from it, you can now explicitly say how long you want to keep it alive. You can then **reconnect to the sandbox** later.

  Read more [here](https://docs.e2b.dev/sandbox/api/reconnect).

  This feature is available in versions:

  * **JS:** 0.10.0
  * **Python:** 0.11.0

  For implementation assistance or feedback, contact us at **[hello@e2b.dev](mailto:hello@e2b.dev)** or on our [**Discord**](https://lnkd.in/g2ZcfPvZ).

  ### Docs and SDK improvements

  We also made a few updates to our SDK and documentation.

  **Docs**

  * Shorter time for code snippets to be ready for running (using custom sandbox)

  **JS SDK**

  * Pass sandbox id directly
  * Pass command directly to process

  **Both SDKs**

  * Add `StartAndWait` for process.
</Update>

<Update label="November 12, 2023" description="Custom Sandboxes">
  This week we released the **Custom Sandboxes** for AI-powered apps and agents.

  The **E2B Sandbox** is an isolated long-running cloud environment where you can let any LLM use tools exactly like you would do locally.

  You can now create a **Custom Sandbox** for any use case, e.g. your own **AI coding copilot, data analyst, or Al Browser.** The Custom Sandbox allows you to spawn a sandbox with an environment predefined by you and then control it with the E2B SDK.

  We also offer two **premade sandboxes** (Default Sandbox and Code Interpreter Sandbox).

  <img alt="Custom Sandboxes" />

  [Example of running Python code with the E2B Sandbox](https://docs.e2b.dev/sandbox/templates/premade)

  ### How to start with Custom Sandboxes:

  1. [Sign in with your GitHub account](https://docs.e2b.dev?ref=header) to get your free E2B API key.
  2. Install the E2B SDK, either in JS or Python.
  3. [Create your custom sandbox](https://docs.e2b.dev/guide/custom-sandbox) (you can follow our guide) or try out one of our premade sandboxes.

  ## Agent Protocol Documentation

  We put the Agent Protocol on a dedicated [website](https://www.agentprotocol.ai/) with a nice domain and proper documentation.

  The documentation goes deeper into the incentives of the protocol, guides for adoption, and the details of how the protocol works.

  Discuss the updates on our [Discord](https://discord.com/invite/U7KEcGErtQ), and if you want to appreciate our work, star our repositories on [GitHub](https://twitter.com/e2b_dev).
</Update>

<Update label="August 11, 2023" description="E2B SDK">
  This week, we have for you an early access version of the E2B SDK.

  The [**E2B REST API**](https://github.com/e2b-dev/rest-api) gives AI agents their own **sandboxed cloud environment.** Agents can use these environments to run code, terminal commands, long-running tasks like databases, start servers, and upload and download files.

  You can run **pip install e2b** to get our SDK.

  The E2B SDK is available in [Python](https://github.com/e2b-dev/rest-api#python-sdk) and we are finalizing a [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://github.com/e2b-dev/rest-api#jsts-sdk) version. See the Python SDK also in [PyPi](https://pypi.org/project/e2b/) or go through the examples.

  We recently tried out our API in the [e2b plugin for ChatGPT](https://github.com/e2b-dev/chatgpt-plugin/tree/main) which you can check out if you have developer access to ChatGPT plugins.

  ### Next on our roadmap

  * Make the API generally available
  * Integrate the API and the protocol into popular agent-building frameworks

  Contributors our welcome, so in case you are interested, just do a pull request on our [GitHub](https://github.com/e2b-dev), or discuss more info on our [Discord](https://discord.gg/35NF4Y8WSE).
</Update>

<Update label="August 4, 2023" description="ChatGPT plugin">
  The [e2b ChatGPT Plugin](https://github.com/e2b-dev/chatgpt-plugin) gives your ChatGPT access to a full cloud environment that is sandboxed and running on e2b infrastructure.

  We’ve built these cloud environments to be used specifically by AI Agents. With the plugin, you can accomplish for instance deploying websites, managing databases, executing shell commands, or installing programs via the terminal.

  Try out the Plugin [here](https://github.com/e2b-dev/chatgpt-plugin) and tell us how you liked it via [Discord](https://discord.gg/35NF4Y8WSE) or by tagging [@e2b\_dev](https://twitter.com/e2b_dev) on Twitter. Contributors and beta testers are welcome.

  ## Agent Protocol Update

  We did an overhaul of the [Agent Protocol repository](https://github.com/e2b-dev/agent-protocol). Main updates include:

  * Better communication of incentives, roadmap, and usage
  * RFC template
  * Better code examples
  * New JS SDK
  * New agent-protocol CLI to check compliance with the spec.

  The protocol serves as a common interface for interacting with any agent. It is techstack-agnostic and [open-source](https://github.com/e2b-dev/agent-protocol).
</Update>

<Update label="July 2, 2023" description="Agents in cloud">
  We're now a few months into building e2b, which means we will be sharing weekly updates. Here's some news we think you'll love in this release.

  ## Get your own instance of [smol developer](https://app.e2b.dev/agent/smol-developer?utm_source=changelog)

  This week, we have launched a smol developer - your own personal junior developer which you can deploy via e2b. You can connect the developer with three simple steps.

<Update label="June 16, 2023" description="Protocol and smol updates">
  ## Agent Protocol

  We have made first steps in developing the [Agent Protocol](https://github.com/e2b-dev/sdk/tree/main).

  The protocol defines an interface for interacting with your agent. Adopting the protocol makes your agent automatically deployable to the e2b platform.

  Our goal is to make this protocol open and usable in the whole agent field. This is a collaborative project. We're working on it with the most popular open-source agents, e.g., [Auto-GPT](https://github.com/Significant-Gravitas/Auto-GPT/?utm_source=awesome-ai-agents), [smol developer](https://github.com/smol-ai/developer), or [babyagi](https://github.com/yoheinakajima/babyagi).

  **Objectives:**

  * **Common endpoints** to communicate with an agent - "start", "step", "stop" for starters. More will come, especially around debugging, tracing, and monitoring
  * **Tech-stack agnostic** - no specific framework required - you can adopt this without using the rest of SDK
  * **Great DX** - easy to adopt and implement - no need to rewrite your existing agent
  * **Open** - any agent builder can implement this and instantly become compatible with any platform supporting this protocol

  If you like the protocol, please appreciate the [GitHub repo](https://github.com/e2b-dev/agent-protocol) with a star. [Contributors](https://github.com/e2b-dev) are welcome.

  ## [Smol Developer](https://app.e2b.dev/agent/smol-developer?utm_source=changelog) Update

  With more than 1500 [smol developer](https://github.com/smol-ai/developer) pull requests, we hit OpenAI API rate limits. We consequently added an option to pass your own OpenAI key in case e2b is hitting OpenAI's rate limits.

  Additionally, you can now select which OpenAI model you want to use with smol developer when using your own OpenAI key. Try the updated smol developer [here](https://app.e2b.dev/agent/smol-developer?utm_source=changelog).

# What limits apply to my template builds?
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/faq/build-limits

Two kinds of limit apply: plan limits like concurrent builds can be raised by upgrading or contacting support, while build timeouts are fixed for everyone and require restructuring the build.

Two different kinds of limit apply to a [template build](/template/quickstart). Limits tied to your plan can be raised, either by upgrading or by contacting support. Build timeouts are fixed for everyone and are not raised per team, so a build that hits one needs to be restructured rather than escalated.

## Limits tied to your plan

| Limit | Hobby | Pro | Enterprise |
| :- | :- | :- | :- |
| **Concurrent builds** | 20 | 20 | Custom |
| **vCPUs per build** | 8 | 8+ | Custom |
| **Memory per build** | 8 GiB | 8+ GiB | Custom |
| **Disk space in the built template** | 10 GiB | 20+ GiB | Custom |

See the [Plans table](/billing#plans) for the full list. Need more? Contact [support@e2b.dev](mailto:support@e2b.dev).

Disk space is free space on top of your image contents, not a maximum template size. A template can report a total disk size larger than this figure, which is expected.

<Note>
  **A CPU or RAM increase does not apply until you rebuild and pass the new values.** `cpuCount`/`cpu_count` and `memoryMB`/`memory_mb` are build parameters, and your plan limit only validates them. Rebuilding without them writes the defaults of 2 vCPU and 1024 MiB, which can leave your sandboxes smaller than before. Disk is different: it is read from your plan at build time, so a plain rebuild is enough.
</Note>

## Build timeouts

These are the same for every plan and we do not raise them for individual teams.

| Timeout | Limit | Applies to |
| :- | :- | :- |
| **Whole build** | 1 hour | From the moment the build starts running |
| **A single command** | 1 hour | One `runCmd`/`run_cmd` step |
| **Ready command** | 10 minutes | Your [ready command](/template/start-ready-command#ready-command) must succeed within this window |
| **A single file copy** | 10 minutes | One `copy`/`copy_items` operation into the build |
| **Uploading a layer's files** | 30 minutes | The upload of files for one layer |
| **A build waiting to start** | 40 minutes | A build that was registered but never started running |

If you are close to any of these, the fix is usually the same: move work into earlier layers so it gets [cached](/template/caching), split large copies, or start from an existing template with [`fromTemplate`](/template/quickstart#scaling-templates) instead of rebuilding shared layers.

## What each failure looks like

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="you have reached the maximum number of concurrent template builds (N)">
    You are running as many builds at once as your plan allows, and the request was rejected with a `429`. Wait for a build to finish, or contact [support@e2b.dev](mailto:support@e2b.dev) if you consistently need more.

    This is a separate limit from [concurrent sandboxes](/faq/increase-concurrency), which also rejects with a `429`. Neither one tells you anything about the other, so match on the message rather than the status code.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="CPU count can't be higher than N / Memory can't be higher than N MiB">
    The `cpuCount`/`cpu_count` or `memoryMB`/`memory_mb` you passed is above your plan's ceiling, so the build was rejected with a `400` before it started. Lower the value or contact [support@e2b.dev](mailto:support@e2b.dev) to raise the ceiling.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="the uncompressed Docker image size ... exceeds the maximum filesystem size">
    Your base image is too large. This is a limit on the image you start `fromImage`/`from_image` from, and it is separate from the disk space figure above. The error message contains the current maximum for your team.

    Reduce the image with a smaller base, multi-stage builds, or by removing files you do not need. Data added with `copy`/`run_cmd` steps does not count towards this limit, because those run after the image has been unpacked. If your image genuinely needs to be larger, contact [support@e2b.dev](mailto:support@e2b.dev).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="No space left on device, or a 507 during a build step">
    You have run out of the disk space your plan gives the template. This is the limit a disk increase moves. After the increase, rebuild the template so the new size is applied.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="ready command timed out after ...">
    Your ready command did not succeed within 10 minutes. E2B retries it every 2 seconds for that whole window.

    Make the check cheaper rather than longer. [`waitForPort`](/template/start-ready-command#ready-command) on the port your service actually listens on returns as soon as it is up, where a fixed sleep always waits the full time. If the slow part is setup work rather than startup, move it into a build step so it is cached instead of repeated on every build.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="build status polling timed out. Maximum build time is 1h0m0s.">
    The build ran for the full hour and was terminated. Use [layer caching](/template/caching) to avoid repeating expensive steps, put frequently changing steps last, and consider splitting a large template into a base template plus a thin template built with `fromTemplate`/`from_template`.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="build is in waiting state for too long">
    The build was accepted but never started running, so it produced no logs and was terminated after 40 minutes. This usually means the process that requested the build stopped before it could start it.

    The build holds one of your concurrent build slots until it is terminated, so you can get a `429` from a build you thought was gone. To free the slot immediately, run the build again with the same template name and tag. That supersedes the stranded build and releases its slot. Deleting the template also works.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="The build was canceled because it was superseded by a newer one.">
    Only one build can be in flight for a given template name and tag. Starting another one cancels the earlier build. If you want builds to run in parallel, give them different tags or names.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## What is not limited

* **The number of templates you create.** See [Template limit](/faq/template-limit).
* **The number of steps or layers in a template.**
* **The number of tags on a build.**


# How do I calculate the price of a sandbox?
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/faq/calculate-sandbox-price

E2B bills per second, only while a sandbox is running, based on the vCPU and RAM allocated to it. Paused and killed sandboxes are not billed.

E2B uses [usage-based pricing](/billing#usage-based-pricing). You pay **per second, only while a sandbox is running**, based on the vCPU and RAM allocated to it. Paused and killed sandboxes are not billed.

## The formula

```
cost = (vCPU x vCPU_rate + RAM_in_GiB x RAM_rate) x seconds_running
```

The rate depends on how much compute the sandbox has allocated, not on how much it actually uses.

## Current rates

| Resource | Per second | Per hour |
| :- | :- | :- |
| vCPU | \$0.000014 per vCPU | \$0.0504 per vCPU |
| RAM | \$0.0000045 per GiB | \$0.0162 per GiB |
| Disk | Included (10 GiB Hobby / 20 GiB Pro) | Included |

<Note>
  These rates are shown for convenience and can change. The [pricing page](https://e2b.dev/pricing) and its [usage cost calculator](https://e2b.dev/pricing#:~:text=Usage%20Cost%20Calculator) are the source of truth for current prices.
</Note>

## Worked example

A **default sandbox** has 2 vCPU and 512 MiB (0.5 GiB) of RAM. Running it for **1 hour**:

* vCPU: `2 x $0.0504 = $0.1008`
* RAM: `0.5 x $0.0162 = $0.0081`
* **Total: about \$0.109 for the hour**

The same sandbox running for 5 minutes (300 seconds) would cost roughly `$0.109 x (300 / 3600) = $0.009`.

## Get the numbers for your own sandboxes

You need three inputs: **vCPU**, **RAM**, and **running time**.

### vCPU and RAM of a running sandbox

`getInfo()` returns the sandbox's allocated `cpuCount` and `memoryMB`. Use [`Sandbox.list()`](/cli/list-sandboxes) to get the same fields for all of your running and paused sandboxes at once.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create()
  const info = await sandbox.getInfo()

  console.log(info.cpuCount)  // e.g. 2
  console.log(info.memoryMB)  // e.g. 512
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox()
  info = sandbox.get_info()

  print(info.cpu_count)  # e.g. 2
  print(info.memory_mb)  # e.g. 512
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Running time

For completed runs, set up [lifecycle event webhooks](/sandbox/lifecycle-events-webhooks). The `sandbox.lifecycle.killed` and `sandbox.lifecycle.paused` events carry an `event_data.execution` object with everything you need to compute cost for that run:

* `vcpu_count` and `memory_mb` - the resources that were allocated
* `execution_time` - how long the sandbox ran, in milliseconds
* `started_at` - when the run began

Because these fields arrive together on the terminating event, a single delivery has both the resource allocation and the duration for one completed execution. Note that the `sandbox.lifecycle.created` event does not include resource allocation, so read compute off the `killed` and `paused` events (or from `getInfo` while the sandbox is still running).

### Example: cost from a webhook

The handler below receives lifecycle deliveries, and whenever a sandbox is killed or paused it reads `event_data.execution` and applies the formula above to log the cost of that run.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import express from 'express'

  const VCPU_RATE_PER_SECOND = 0.000014      // USD per vCPU per second
  const RAM_RATE_PER_GIB_SECOND = 0.0000045  // USD per GiB per second

  function sandboxCost({ vcpu_count, memory_mb, execution_time }) {
    const seconds = execution_time / 1000
    const ramGiB = memory_mb / 1024
    return (vcpu_count * VCPU_RATE_PER_SECOND + ramGiB * RAM_RATE_PER_GIB_SECOND) * seconds
  }

  const app = express()
  app.use(express.json())

  app.post('/webhook', (req, res) => {
    const event = req.body

    // Resources and duration are only on the terminating events
    if (event.type === 'sandbox.lifecycle.killed' || event.type === 'sandbox.lifecycle.paused') {
      const cost = sandboxCost(event.event_data.execution)
      console.log(`Sandbox ${event.sandbox_id} cost $${cost.toFixed(6)}`)
    }

    res.sendStatus(200)
  })

  app.listen(3000)
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from flask import Flask, request

  VCPU_RATE_PER_SECOND = 0.000014      # USD per vCPU per second
  RAM_RATE_PER_GIB_SECOND = 0.0000045  # USD per GiB per second

  def sandbox_cost(execution: dict) -> float:
      seconds = execution["execution_time"] / 1000
      ram_gib = execution["memory_mb"] / 1024
      return (
          execution["vcpu_count"] * VCPU_RATE_PER_SECOND
          + ram_gib * RAM_RATE_PER_GIB_SECOND
      ) * seconds

  app = Flask(__name__)

  @app.post("/webhook")
  def webhook():
      event = request.get_json()

      # Resources and duration are only on the terminating events
      if event["type"] in ("sandbox.lifecycle.killed", "sandbox.lifecycle.paused"):
          cost = sandbox_cost(event["event_data"]["execution"])
          print(f"Sandbox {event['sandbox_id']} cost ${cost:.6f}")

      return "", 200
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Note>
  In production, [verify the `e2b-signature` header](/sandbox/lifecycle-events-webhooks#webhook-verification) and deduplicate on the `e2b-delivery-id` header, since a delivery can be retried and arrive more than once. See [Sandbox lifecycle webhooks](/sandbox/lifecycle-events-webhooks) for registration and the full payload.
</Note>

## Reducing your bill

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Do I pay for paused or stopped sandboxes?">
    No. Billing stops the moment a sandbox is paused or killed. See [Do paused sandboxes count toward the concurrency limit?](/faq/paused-sandboxes-concurrency)
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How do I allocate less compute?">
    Start with the default resources (2 vCPU, 512 MiB RAM) and only increase them if you need to. You set `cpuCount` and `memoryMB` when building a custom template. See [Billing & limits](/billing#customizing-compute-resources).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Where do I see my actual costs?">
    In the [console usage tab](https://console.e2b.dev/?tab=usage). You can also set a spending limit on the [budget page](https://console.e2b.dev/?tab=budget).

# Why does my template build fail with a Docker push authentication error?
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/faq/docker-push-authentication-error

Docker sends no credentials to the build registry. Add E2B's local registry proxy (host.docker.internal:49984, or localhost:49984 on Linux) to Docker's insecure-registries and restart Docker.

When the CLI pushes a Docker image to the build registry, you may hit an authentication error because Docker doesn't send any credentials to the registry. The fix is to mark E2B's local registry proxy as an insecure registry so Docker routes through it.

## macOS

1. Open Docker Desktop.
2. Go to **Settings**.
3. Go to **Docker Engine**.
4. Add the following line to the JSON configuration:

```json theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
{
  "insecure-registries": ["host.docker.internal:49984"]
}
```

A full configuration may look like this:

```json theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
{
  "builder": {
    "gc": {
      "defaultKeepStorage": "20GB",
      "enabled": true
    }
  },
  "features": {
    "buildkit": true
  },
  "insecure-registries": [
    "host.docker.internal:49984"
  ]
}
```

This allows Docker to send requests to the local proxy, which handles the authentication.

5. Click **Apply & Restart**.

## Linux

1. Edit the Docker configuration file (usually `/etc/docker/daemon.json`). Create it if it doesn't exist, and add:

```json theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
{
  "insecure-registries": ["localhost:49984"]
}
```

2. Restart Docker:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
sudo systemctl restart docker
```

## Windows

1. Open Docker Desktop.
2. Go to **Settings**.
3. Go to **Docker Engine**.
4. Add the following line to the JSON configuration:

```json theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
{
  "insecure-registries": ["host.docker.internal:49984"]
}
```

5. Click **Apply & Restart**.


# Do you publish egress IP ranges (CIDRs)?
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/faq/egress-ip-ranges

No. Sandbox outbound traffic leaves from ephemeral, rotating IPs, so there is no fixed E2B-owned CIDR list. Allowlist the cloud provider's published ranges or route sandbox traffic through your own proxy for a dedicated IP.

E2B does not publish a list of egress CIDRs, and there are no dedicated or static egress IP addresses on any plan (including Enterprise). Sandbox outbound traffic leaves from ephemeral public IPs on E2B's cloud, and those IPs rotate over time, so there is no fixed E2B-owned IP set to allowlist.

If you need to lock down an egress proxy or firewall so it only accepts E2B sandbox traffic, you have two options.

## Option 1: Allowlist the cloud provider's published ranges

E2B's managed sandboxes run in the regions below. US West (AWS) runs on AWS, and the other regions run on Google Cloud.

| Region | Cloud region(s) | Available on | How to enable |
| - | - | - | - |
| US | Google Cloud `us-west1` | All plans | Default - no action needed |
| US West (AWS) | AWS `us-west-2` | All plans | [Contact support](https://console.e2b.dev/?support=true) |
| EU | Google Cloud `europe-west1` | Pro plan and above | [Contact support](https://console.e2b.dev/?support=true) |
| APAC | Google Cloud `asia-southeast1` | Pro plan and above | [Contact support](https://console.e2b.dev/?support=true) |

In the Google Cloud regions, outbound traffic leaves from Google Cloud IPs, so the source addresses fall within Google's published IP ranges, available at [https://www.gstatic.com/ipranges/cloud.json](https://www.gstatic.com/ipranges/cloud.json). You can allowlist the Google Cloud ranges for the region or regions your sandboxes run in.

<Note>
  This is a coarse allowlist. Google's published ranges cover all Google Cloud workloads, not just E2B, so they do not uniquely identify traffic coming from your sandboxes. E2B may also run your sandboxes across more than one Google Cloud region and can change placement over time, so the exact ranges are not guaranteed to stay fixed. If you need a tight, stable allowlist that only your own sandboxes can pass, use a proxy (Option 2).
</Note>

E2B does not publish guidance for allowlisting US West (AWS) traffic by cloud provider IP range. For sandboxes in that region, use a proxy (Option 2).

## Option 2: Route sandbox traffic through your own proxy (dedicated IP)

To get a single, stable egress IP that you fully control, tunnel sandbox traffic through a proxy server you own. Traffic routed through the proxy then leaves from your proxy's IP, which you can allowlist exactly.

See [Proxy tunneling](/network/ip-tunneling) for a step-by-step setup that routes sandbox traffic through a Shadowsocks proxy running on a cloud VM.

## Restricting what a sandbox can reach

The options above are about the IPs your sandbox traffic comes *from*. If instead you want to restrict which destinations a sandbox is allowed to reach, use per-sandbox allow and deny lists, or disable internet access entirely. See [Internet access](/network/internet-access).


# Can I run sandboxes in the EU?
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/faq/eu-region

Yes. E2B offers a shared EU cluster for customers on the Pro tier and above. Contact support to get access.

Yes. E2B offers a shared EU cluster for customers on the Pro tier and above.

To get access, [contact support](https://console.e2b.dev/?support=true) and let us know you'd like to use the EU region. We'll guide you through setup.


# Does E2B support GPUs?
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/faq/gpu-support

No. E2B sandboxes are CPU-only, sized by vCPU and RAM only, with no GPU option in the SDKs, CLI, API, or a template definition. BYOC does not change this.

No. E2B sandboxes are CPU-only.

A sandbox is sized by vCPU and RAM only. There is no GPU option in the SDKs, the CLI, the API, or a [template definition](/template/defining-template), and no GPU dimension in [pricing](/faq/calculate-sandbox-price). [BYOC](/byoc) does not change this, because BYOC sandboxes are created through the same API.

Sandboxes have [internet access](/network/internet-access), so a model provider's inference API works normally from sandbox code. When installing ML libraries, use the CPU-only builds, which is also the fix for a [common pip install failure](/faq/pip-install-error).


# How do I increase my concurrency limit?
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/faq/increase-concurrency

Raise your concurrent sandbox limit with self-serve add-ons in the console billing tab, or contact sales for higher limits on the Enterprise plan.

You can raise your number of [concurrent sandboxes](/billing#plans) by purchasing self-serve concurrency add-ons from the [console billing tab](https://console.e2b.dev/?tab=billing).

For higher limits at lower prices, commit to a minimum monthly usage for a year on the [Enterprise plan](/billing#plans) by [contacting sales](mailto:enterprise@e2b.dev).

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="How much concurrency does each add-on add, and what's the self-serve maximum?">
    Each add-on adds 500 concurrent sandbox slots. On the Pro tier, you can scale this way up to 1,100 concurrent sandboxes. To go higher, you need an Enterprise plan.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What's the per-unit pricing?">
    \$500/month per add-on (500 slots), charged on top of your usage bill.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Does the increase take effect immediately?">
    Yes. The higher limit applies as soon as you purchase the add-on, with no provisioning delay.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I scale the add-ons back down later?">
    Yes. Add-ons are billed monthly and are non-refundable, but you can remove one to stop future charges, so you are not locked in beyond the current billing period.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How is a mid-cycle purchase billed?">
    The dashboard shows the exact amount you will be charged before you confirm the purchase.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

Raise your concurrent sandbox limit with self-serve add-ons in the console billing tab, or contact sales for higher limits on the Enterprise plan. [Read more](/faq/increase-concurrency)

### How long does a sandbox live?

A sandbox is not session-scoped. Continuous runtime is capped by plan (1 hour Hobby, 24 hours Pro, custom Enterprise) and resets on pause and resume, while a paused sandbox is kept indefinitely with no time-to-live. [Read more](/faq/sandbox-lifetime)

### Do paused sandboxes count toward the concurrency limit?

No. Only running sandboxes count toward the concurrency limit and only running sandboxes are billed. There is no time limit on how long a sandbox can stay paused. [Read more](/faq/paused-sandboxes-concurrency)

### Does E2B support GPUs?

No. E2B sandboxes are CPU-only, sized by vCPU and RAM only, with no GPU option in the SDKs, CLI, API, or a template definition. BYOC does not change this. [Read more](/faq/gpu-support)

## Templates & builds

### What limits apply to my template builds?

Two kinds of limit apply: plan limits like concurrent builds can be raised by upgrading or contacting support, while build timeouts are fixed for everyone and require restructuring the build. [Read more](/faq/build-limits)

### Is there a limit on how many templates I can create?

No. There is no limit on the total number of templates. The only template limit is on concurrent builds: 20 on Hobby and Pro, custom on Enterprise. [Read more](/faq/template-limit)

### Can I make a template public so other projects can use it?

Yes. Publish a template from the console Templates tab or with the CLI, and any project can then create sandboxes from it by its full project-slug/template-name. [Read more](/faq/public-templates)

### Why does pip install fail when building a template?

Large packages like PyTorch with CUDA exhaust the build environment: pip caches wheels in memory (`MemoryError`) and downloads them to the RAM-backed `/tmp` capped at \~3.9 GB ("No space left on device"). Set `TMPDIR` to a disk-backed path with `--no-cache-dir`, or install CPU-only builds. [Read more](/faq/pip-install-error)

### Why does my template build fail with a Docker push authentication error?

Docker sends no credentials to the build registry. Add E2B's local registry proxy (`host.docker.internal:49984`, or `localhost:49984` on Linux) to Docker's insecure-registries and restart Docker. [Read more](/faq/docker-push-authentication-error)

## Storage & volumes

### What are the limitations of the Volumes beta?

File locking can hang, file metadata caching is disabled, read/write permission bits are not enforced between users, mounts are fixed at sandbox creation, and snapshots and read-only mounts are not yet supported. [Read more](/faq/volumes-beta-limitations)

## Networking & deployment

### Can I run sandboxes in the EU?

Yes. E2B offers a shared EU cluster for customers on the Pro tier and above. Contact support to get access. [Read more](/faq/eu-region)

### How do I migrate to a different region?

Each region is a separate deployment. Contact support to get a project in the new region, connect to it with that project's API key and the region's domain, and rebuild your templates there. [Read more](/faq/migrate-between-regions)

### Do you publish egress IP ranges (CIDRs)?

No. Sandbox outbound traffic leaves from ephemeral, rotating IPs, so there is no fixed E2B-owned CIDR list. Allowlist the cloud provider's published ranges or route sandbox traffic through your own proxy for a dedicated IP. [Read more](/faq/egress-ip-ranges)

### Why does iptables fail with 'xt\_owner module missing' in a sandbox?

The E2B sandbox kernel does not ship the `xt_owner` module, so iptables rules using `--uid-owner` or `--gid-owner` fail. Use nftables, which does not need `xt_owner` for owner-based matching. [Read more](/faq/iptables-xt-owner)

### Why does my custom template fail with 'port 49999 not open'?

The Code Interpreter service inside the sandbox did not start, usually because the custom template was not built on the `code-interpreter-v1` base or the start command is missing. [Read more](/faq/port-49999-not-open)

## Security & compliance

### Is E2B SOC 2 compliant?

Yes. E2B has a SOC 2 Type II report, served with the DPA template, penetration test, and bridge letter from the Trust Center at [trust.e2b.dev](https://trust.e2b.dev). [Read more](/faq/security-and-compliance)

# How do I migrate to a different region?
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/faq/migrate-between-regions

Each region is a separate deployment. Contact support to get a project in the new region, connect to it with that project's API key and the region's domain, and rebuild your templates there.

E2B's managed cloud runs in several regions, and each region is a separate deployment. Migrating means setting up a new project in the region you want. Nothing is copied between regions automatically.

## Get a project in the new region

[Contact support](https://console.e2b.dev/?support=true) and tell us which region you want to move to. We'll create a [project](/projects) there for you, and you can manage it alongside your other projects in the [E2B Console](https://console.e2b.dev/).

## Connect to the region

Each project belongs to a single region and has its own API keys. Create an API key in your new project, then set these environment variables wherever you run your code or the CLI:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
E2B_API_KEY=e2b_YOUR_NEW_PROJECT_KEY
E2B_DOMAIN=YOUR_NEW_REGION_DOMAIN
```

The SDKs and CLI both use `E2B_DOMAIN` to connect to the region. See [Multiple regions](/client#multiple-regions) for each region's domain, and for how to use multiple regions in the same process.

## Templates and resources

Your existing resources stay in their original project and region:

* **Templates:** Rebuild your custom templates in the new project. You can reuse the same template names.
* **Sandboxes and snapshots:** A sandbox ID only resolves in the region that created it. Create new sandboxes and snapshots in the new region.
* **Volumes:** Existing volumes and their data remain in their original project.

## Billing

If you're moving all your usage to the new region, support can transfer your current plan to the new project. If you'd rather keep using both regions, let support know and we'll help you set up billing for each project.

## Egress IP ranges

If you need a strict IP allowlist, route sandbox traffic through your own proxy. See [Egress IP ranges](/faq/egress-ip-ranges) for more details.


# Do paused sandboxes count toward the concurrency limit?
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/faq/paused-sandboxes-concurrency

No. Only running sandboxes count toward the concurrency limit and only running sandboxes are billed. There is no time limit on how long a sandbox can stay paused.

No. Only running sandboxes count toward your concurrency limit. Paused sandboxes are excluded, so you can keep many paused sandboxes around without affecting how many sandboxes you can run at the same time.

Paused sandboxes are also not billed. You are only charged for sandboxes while they are running, so keeping a sandbox paused has no impact on your bill.

There is also no time limit on how long a sandbox can remain paused. Paused sandboxes are kept indefinitely, with no automatic deletion or time-to-live, and you can [resume](/sandbox/persistence#resuming-sandbox) them at any time.

E2B never kills paused sandboxes on its own. A paused sandbox is only removed when you explicitly call `kill` on it (either via `sandbox.kill()` or `Sandbox.kill(sandboxId)`).

For more details on pausing and resuming, see the [Sandbox persistence](/sandbox/persistence) page.


# Why does pip install fail when building a template?
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/faq/pip-install-error

Large packages like PyTorch with CUDA exhaust the build environment: pip caches wheels in memory (MemoryError) and downloads them to the RAM-backed /tmp capped at ~3.9 GB ('No space left on device'). Set TMPDIR to a disk-backed path with --no-cache-dir, or install CPU-only builds.

When building a template that installs large Python packages like PyTorch with CUDA dependencies, `pip install` can fail because pip caches wheels in memory and downloads them to `/tmp`, which is RAM-backed and capped at \~3.9 GB. The failure shows up as one of two errors:

* **`MemoryError`**: pip tries to serialize large wheel files into memory for caching, exceeding available RAM.
* **`OSError: [Errno 28] No space left on device`**: downloaded wheels fill up the `/tmp` directory.

**Example errors**

```txt theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
File "pip/_vendor/cachecontrol/serialize.py", line 70, in dumps
    return b",".join([b"cc=4", msgpack.dumps(data, use_bin_type=True)])
MemoryError
```

```txt theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
ERROR: Could not install packages due to an OSError: [Errno 28] No space left on device
```

## Cause

The build environment mounts `/tmp` as a [tmpfs](https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/filesystems/tmpfs.html), a RAM-backed filesystem capped at \~3.9 GB. pip downloads all wheels to `/tmp/pip-*` before installing them. PyTorch with CUDA dependencies totals \~4.1 GB of downloads, which exceeds this limit.

## Solution 1: Redirect pip's temp directory to disk (recommended)

Set the `TMPDIR` environment variable to a disk-backed path so pip downloads don't go through the RAM-backed `/tmp`. Combined with `--no-cache-dir`, this avoids both the disk space and memory issues.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  const template = Template()
    .runCmd('TMPDIR=/var/tmp pip install --no-cache-dir torch sentence-transformers')
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  template = (
      Template()
      .run_cmd("TMPDIR=/var/tmp pip install --no-cache-dir torch sentence-transformers")
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Solution 2: Install CPU-only PyTorch

E2B sandboxes don't have GPUs, so there's no reason to download CUDA dependencies. Installing the CPU-only variant of PyTorch reduces the download from \~4.1 GB to \~189 MB, avoiding the `/tmp` size limit entirely.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  const template = Template()
    .runCmd('pip install --no-cache-dir torch --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cpu')
    .runCmd('echo "torch" > /tmp/constraints.txt && pip install --no-cache-dir -c /tmp/constraints.txt sentence-transformers')
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  template = (
      Template()
      .run_cmd("pip install --no-cache-dir torch --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cpu")
      .run_cmd('echo "torch" > /tmp/constraints.txt && pip install --no-cache-dir -c /tmp/constraints.txt sentence-transformers')
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

The constraints file in the second step prevents pip from replacing the CPU-only torch with the CUDA version when installing packages that depend on PyTorch.


# Can I make a template public so other projects can use it?
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/faq/public-templates

Yes. Publish a template from the console Templates tab or with the CLI, and any project can then create sandboxes from it by its full project-slug/template-name.

Yes. By default, templates are scoped to the project that built them, but you can publish a template to make it usable by any other E2B project.

## Publishing a template

You can publish a template in two ways:

### From the dashboard

Open the [Templates tab](https://console.e2b.dev/?tab=templates), find the template, and toggle it to public.

### From the CLI

Use the [E2B CLI](/cli) to publish a template you've already built:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
e2b template publish <template-name>
```

## Using a public template

Once published, other projects can create a sandbox from your template by referencing it with the full namespaced format `project-slug/template-name`:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
e2b sandbox spawn your-project-slug/<template-name>
```

The same naming format works in the SDKs. Pass `project-slug/template-name` as the template alias to `Sandbox.create()`.

## Unpublishing

To revoke public access, either toggle the template back to private in the [console Templates tab](https://console.e2b.dev/?tab=templates), or run:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
e2b template unpublish <template-name>
```

The template stays in your project and remains usable by your project. It is just no longer reachable by others.

For more on naming and how the project-slug prefix works, see [Template names](/template/names).


# How long does a sandbox live?
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/faq/sandbox-lifetime

A sandbox is not session-scoped. Continuous runtime is capped by plan (1 hour Hobby, 24 hours Pro, custom Enterprise) and resets on pause and resume, while a paused sandbox is kept indefinitely with no time-to-live. SDK streams send keepalive pings and normally stay open for more than an hour, and clients reconnect when one drops.

A sandbox is not session-scoped. There are three separate limits:

* **How long a sandbox can run continuously** is capped by your plan.
* **How long a sandbox can stay paused** is not capped at all. Paused sandboxes are kept indefinitely.
* **How long a single stream can stay open** (exec, watch, or websocket) is normally more than an hour thanks to keepalive pings. No single connection is guaranteed, so clients reconnect while the sandbox keeps running.

## Continuous runtime limits

| Plan | Max continuous runtime |
| - | - |
| Hobby | 1 hour |
| Pro | 24 hours |
| Enterprise | Custom |

This is the time a sandbox can run **without being paused**. Pausing and resuming resets it, so a sandbox that pauses and resumes can be kept alive and reused for as long as you want. See [Billing & limits](/billing#plans).

## Stream connections

A sandbox staying up is not the same as a single stream staying open, and streams are designed with that in mind.

Every stream the SDK opens (`commands.run()`, `commands.connect()`, `pty.create()`, `pty.connect()`, `files.watchDir()` / `files.watch_dir()`) asks the sandbox for a keepalive ping every 50 seconds, so the stream normally stays open for more than an hour even while the process is silent. A stream is a connection, not the sandbox. A load-balancer backend drain or the public-edge request timeout can occasionally close it while the sandbox and everything inside keep running, so no single connection is guaranteed for more than one hour.

When a stream does drop, the SDK checks the sandbox for you. If the sandbox was killed or reached its end of life, the error says so (`TimeoutError` in JavaScript, `TimeoutException` in Python). Any other connection error means the sandbox is still running and only the connection was lost, so reconnect. Reconnecting is a first-class operation. Use `commands.connect(pid)` to reattach to a running command, `pty.connect(pid)` to reattach to a terminal session, and start a new `watchDir()` / `watch_dir()` to keep receiving filesystem events. The Python SDK also retries failed connection attempts on its own. See [Streaming command output](/commands/streaming), [Watch directory for changes](/filesystem/watch), and [Interactive terminal](/sandbox/pty).

WebSocket connections to a sandbox's [public URL](/network/public-url) go through the same edge, so give them their own ping and reconnect logic.

This is separate from the Hobby-tier 1-hour sandbox lifetime above. A Pro sandbox runs for up to 24 hours no matter how many times a stream reconnects.

## What happens when the timeout expires

Every sandbox has a timeout, and it defaults to **5 minutes** if you do not set one. Pass `timeoutMs` (JavaScript, milliseconds) or `timeout` (Python, seconds) to `Sandbox.create()` to change it, or call `setTimeout()` / `set_timeout()` on a running sandbox to reset the clock from that moment.

What happens when the timeout expires is up to you, and the default is destructive:

* `onTimeout: 'kill'` (the default) terminates the sandbox and releases its resources. A killed sandbox cannot be resumed, and its state is gone.
* `onTimeout: 'pause'` pauses the sandbox instead. Both the filesystem **and** the memory are saved, which includes running processes and loaded variables.

Set `autoResume` to have a paused sandbox wake up on the next SDK call or HTTP request to one of its URLs.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create({
    timeoutMs: 10 * 60 * 1000, // 10 minutes of running time
    lifecycle: {
      onTimeout: 'pause', // Defaults to 'kill'
      autoResume: true, // Wake on the next SDK call or HTTP request
    },
  })
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create(
      timeout=10 * 60,  # 10 minutes of running time
      lifecycle={
          "on_timeout": "pause",  # Defaults to "kill"
          "auto_resume": True,    # Wake on the next SDK call or HTTP request
      },
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

Auto-pause is persistent. If the sandbox resumes and later times out again, it pauses again. See [Persistence](/sandbox/persistence#auto-pause) and [AutoResume](/sandbox/auto-resume).

## Paused sandboxes do not expire

Paused sandboxes have **no time-to-live**. There is no automatic deletion, no archiving, and no expiry after a fixed number of days. E2B never kills a paused sandbox on its own.

A paused sandbox is removed only when you explicitly kill it:

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  await Sandbox.kill(sandboxId)
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  Sandbox.kill(sandbox_id)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

While a sandbox is paused it is **not billed** and does **not** count toward your concurrency limit, so keeping paused sandboxes around costs nothing in compute or concurrency. See [Do paused sandboxes count toward the concurrency limit?](/faq/paused-sandboxes-concurrency).

# Is there a limit on how many templates I can create?
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/faq/template-limit

No. There is no limit on the total number of templates. The only template limit is on concurrent builds: 20 on Hobby and Pro, custom on Enterprise.

No. There is no limit on the total number of [templates](/template/quickstart) you can create on your account.

The only template-related limit is on **concurrent builds**, i.e. how many template builds can run at the same time. On Hobby and Pro tiers this is 20; Enterprise is custom. See the [Plans table](/billing#plans) for the full list of limits.


# What are the limitations of the Volumes beta?
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/faq/volumes-beta-limitations

Volumes beta limits: file locking can hang, file metadata caching is disabled, read/write permission bits are not enforced between users, mounts are fixed at sandbox creation, and snapshots and read-only mounts are not yet supported.

During the private beta, you may run into the limitations below. We aim to address them before general availability.

* **File locking can hang.** Keep SQLite databases and tools that use `flock()` or `fcntl()` locks on local disk. Store their results or completed database snapshots on the volume.
* **File metadata caching is disabled.** Repeated file lookups and metadata checks incur network overhead, so workloads with many small operations can be slow. Run builds, package installs, and Git operations on local disk, then copy the output to the volume.
* **Stale file handles can occur.** Heavy file creation, renaming, or deletion can cause `ESTALE` errors. Reopening the file by path and retrying can help.
* **Volume read/write permission bits are not enforced between Linux users.** Even with `chmod 000`, another user in the same sandbox can read or modify the file. Execute permission checks still apply.
* **Mounts are set at sandbox creation.** You cannot add or replace them through resume, connect, or fork. Resume restores the original mounts.
* **Volumes can be deleted while mounted.** Deleting a mounted volume can cause filesystem errors and prevent paused sandboxes from resuming. Save needed data and kill all sandboxes using the volume before deleting it.
* **File watchers miss external changes.** Watching requires an [explicit opt-in](/filesystem/watch#watching-network-filesystem-mounts) and envd `0.6.4` or later. Changes from other sandboxes or standalone volume writes do not trigger events.
* **`df` does not show real usage.** Its reported capacity and used space do not reflect your volume's storage.
* **US and EU only on managed cloud.** Volumes are not available in APAC.
* **Missing features.** The API and SDKs do not support snapshots, server-side copies, or read-only mounts. To [migrate data](/volumes/migrate), mount both volumes in a sandbox and copy between them.


# Projects
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/projects

A project groups your E2B API keys, sandboxes, templates, and billing under one account. Every API key is scoped to exactly one project.

A **project** groups the resources you build with under your E2B account - API keys, sandboxes, templates, and billing. Every sandbox runs inside a project, and every API key is scoped to exactly one project, so the key you use determines which project's resources and limits apply.

Projects are grouped into [workspaces](/workspaces). A workspace is one place to see all of your projects and manage who has access to them. Everything described on this page lives at the project level.

<Info>
  Projects were previously called **Teams**. The concept is unchanged; only the name is new. Existing API keys, template slugs, and integrations keep working without any change.
</Info>

## What a project owns

Your project is the boundary for the resources and settings you manage in the <a href="https://console.e2b.dev/sign-in?signup_source=docs_console">E2B Console</a>:

* **API keys**: Each key authenticates against a single project. See [API key](/api-key) for where to find yours.
* **Sandboxes**: Every sandbox is created and billed within the project tied to your API key.
* **Templates**: Templates are scoped to the project that built them and are namespaced by the project slug. See [Template names](/template/names).
* **Billing and limits**: Your tier (concurrent sandboxes, continuous runtime, disk size, and other resource ceilings) applies to the whole project. See [Billing](/billing).

## Finding your project

Open the <a href="https://console.e2b.dev/sign-in?signup_source=docs_console">E2B Console</a> to see the project you're currently working in, manage its API keys, and review usage. Your API key already targets the right project, so the SDK and CLI pick it up automatically with no extra configuration.

## Project slug and template names

Each project has a unique slug used to namespace its templates. A template named `my-app` in a project with the slug `your-project-slug` is stored as `your-project-slug/my-app`. You can reference it by its short name within the project, or by the full `project-slug/template-name` format from anywhere (for example, to use a public template from another project).

For the full naming rules and how the slug prefix works, see [Template names](/template/names).


# Workspaces
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/workspaces

A workspace groups your E2B projects under one name. Manage multiple projects, and who has access to them, from a single place in the console.

A **workspace** is a group of your [projects](/projects). It gives you one place to see and create projects, and one place to manage who has access to them. Each project inside a workspace keeps its own API keys, sandboxes, templates, and billing.

<Info>
  Workspaces are rolling out now. You will see a workspace picker in the <a href="https://console.e2b.dev/sign-in?signup_source=docs_console">E2B Console</a>, and your existing projects are already grouped into one. Nothing inside your projects has changed.
</Info>

## What a workspace is for

* **One place for all your projects.** Switch between projects, create new ones for a new environment or product, and see everything your organization runs on E2B without signing in and out of separate accounts.
* **One place to manage access.** Add people to the workspace and they can use every project in it. If someone should only see one project, add them to that project instead. Inside a project, all members have the same permissions.
* **One place for billing, later.** Billing is per project today: each project keeps its own plan and invoice. Consolidated workspace-level billing is on the roadmap.

## Workspace vs project

| | Workspace | Project |
| :- | :- | :- |
| **Holds** | Name, members, projects | API keys, templates, sandboxes, volumes |
| **Access** | Members can use every project in the workspace | A person added to a single project sees only that project |
| **Billing and limits** | Nothing today (consolidated billing planned) | Plan, tier limits, invoice. See [Billing](/billing) |
| **API keys** | None. Keys are always scoped to a project | Each key authenticates against one project. See [API key](/api-key) |
| **Templates** | None | Namespaced by the project slug. See [Template names](/template/names) |

## Existing projects

Every project that existed before workspaces was carried over as-is and placed into a workspace automatically:

* **Self-serve accounts**: projects were grouped together based on their billing data, so projects paid for under the same billing relationship share a workspace.
* **Enterprise customers**: projects were grouped according to the enterprise relationship. Workspaces were mapped by our team manually.

Project IDs, API keys, templates, sandboxes, volumes, template slugs, and regions are unchanged. Your code keeps working without any modification.

If a project should be in a different workspace, you can move it yourself: you need to be an owner of both the workspace it is in and the workspace it is going to. The project keeps its identity, API keys, templates, sandboxes, and billing through the move. If your workspace does not look the way you expect otherwise, for example a project is missing, contact [support@e2b.dev](mailto:support@e2b.dev) and we will fix the grouping for you.

## Frequently asked questions

**Do I need to change my code?**
No. API keys are still scoped to a project and continue to work as before.

**Why can a new member see all my projects?**
Workspace members get access to every project in the workspace. To give someone access to one project only, add them on that project instead of the workspace.

**Can I restrict what a member does inside a project?**
Not yet. Inside a project, all members have the same permissions.

**Will my bill change?**
No. Each project keeps its plan and invoice. Workspace-level billing will follow in the future.

**Can I move a project to another workspace?**
Yes, if you are an owner of both workspaces. Move the project from the console and it keeps its API keys, templates, sandboxes, and billing. If you are not an owner of both, ask an owner to do it or contact [support@e2b.dev](mailto:support@e2b.dev).


# BYOC (Bring Your Own Cloud)
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/byoc

Deploy E2B sandboxes inside your own VPC. BYOC is available on AWS, Google Cloud and Azure for Enterprise customers, and BYOC is a managed deployment in your account rather than self-hosting.

BYOC (Bring Your Own Cloud) allows you to deploy E2B sandboxes to your own cloud infrastructure within your VPC.

BYOC is available on AWS, Google Cloud (GCP), and Azure.

<EnterpriseBanner />

## BYOC is not self-hosting

BYOC and self-hosting are often conflated. They are different deployment models:

| | E2B Cloud | BYOC | E2B Embed (self-hosted) |
| - | - | - | - |
| Where sandboxes run | E2B's Google Cloud account | Your own AWS account, GCP project, or Azure subscription, inside your VPC | One Linux machine you operate: a host with KVM, a VM on GCP, AWS, or Azure, or a node in your Kubernetes cluster |
| Who provisions and monitors the cluster | E2B | E2B, using Terraform and machine images | You |
| Templates, snapshots and runtime logs stored in | E2B Cloud | Your VPC | The machine |
| Sandbox traffic and template build sources | E2B Cloud | Never leave your VPC | Never leave the machine |
| SDK, CLI and API | Same | Same | Same |
| How to get it | <a href="https://console.e2b.dev/sign-up?signup_source=docs_byoc">Sign up</a> | [Contact us](mailto:enterprise@e2b.dev) | Install [E2B Embed](https://github.com/e2b-dev/runtime/tree/main/embed#readme) (Apache-2.0) yourself |

With BYOC you get a managed deployment inside your own cloud account. E2B provisions the cluster, monitors it, and creates a project under your E2B account, and you then use the same SDK, CLI, and API as you would against the E2B Cloud. Sandboxes themselves work identically, including [pause and resume persistence](/sandbox/persistence). Self-hosting means running [E2B Embed](https://github.com/e2b-dev/runtime/tree/main/embed#readme), the open-source runtime packaged for one machine, in which case operating that machine is your responsibility. Embed is a single-machine product; if you need to scale across machines, or want E2B to operate the deployment in your cloud account, that is BYOC.

## Architecture

Sandbox templates, snapshots, and runtime logs are stored within the customer's BYOC VPC.
Anonymized system metrics such as cluster memory and cpu are sent to the E2B Cloud for observability and cluster management purposes.

All potentially sensitive traffic, such as sandbox template build source files,
sandbox traffic, and logs, is transmitted directly from the client to the customer's BYOC VPC without ever touching the E2B Cloud infrastructure.

### Glossary

* **BYOC VPC**: The customer's Virtual Private Network where the E2B sandboxes are deployed. For example your AWS account, or the virtual network (VNet) in your Azure subscription.
* **E2B Cloud**: The managed service that provides the E2B platform, observability and cluster management.
* **OAuth Provider**: Customer-managed service that provides user and E2B Cloud with access to the cluster.

* **Orchestrator**: Represents a node that is responsible for managing sandboxes and their lifecycle. Optionally, it can also run the template builder component.
* **Edge Controller**: Routes traffic to sandboxes, exposes API for cluster management, and gRPC proxy used by E2B control plane to communicate with orchestrators.
* **Monitoring**: Collector that receives sandbox and build logs and system metrics from orchestrators and edge controllers. Only anonymized metrics are sent to the E2B Cloud for observability purposes.
* **Storage**: Persistent storage for sandbox templates, snapshots, and runtime logs. Image container repository for template images.

## Onboarding

Customers can initiate the onboarding process by reaching out to us.
Customers need a dedicated cloud account and need to know the region they will use.

* **AWS**: a dedicated AWS account. We receive the IAM role needed for managing account resources. Account quota limits may need to be increased.
* **Google Cloud**: a dedicated GCP project with billing enabled. You apply a Terraform module we provide, which creates the deployment service account E2B uses to manage project resources.
* **Azure**: a dedicated Azure subscription. You apply a Terraform module we provide, which gives E2B's provisioning application scoped access to that subscription. No credentials are exchanged. The person applying it needs the `Owner` role on the subscription and the `Cloud Application Administrator` role (or equivalent) in Microsoft Entra ID. Request vCPU quota for the VM sizes we confirm for your region early, because new subscriptions can take time to get quota approved.

Terraform configuration and machine images will be used for provisioning BYOC cluster.
When provisioning is done and running, we will create a new project under your E2B account that can be used by SDK/CLI the same way as it is hosted on E2B Cloud.

## FAQ

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="How is cluster monitored?">
    Cluster is forwarding anonymized metrics such as machine cpu/memory usage to E2B Control plane for advanced observability and alerting.
    The whole observability stack is anonymized and does not contain any sensitive information.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can cluster automatically scale?">
    A cluster can be scaled horizontally by adding more orchestrators and edge controllers.
    The autoscaler is currently in V1 not capable of automatically scale orchestrator nodes that are needed for sandbox spawning.
    This feature is coming in the next versions.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Are sandboxes accessible only from a customer’s private network?">
    Yes. Load balancer that is handling all requests coming to sandbox can be configured as internal and VPC peering
    with additional customer’s VPC can be configured so sandbox traffic can stay in the private network.

    On Azure, the cluster exposes an internal load balancer, and you reach it from your own VNet by creating an Azure Private Link service and private endpoint in your subscription.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How control plane secure communication is ensured?">
    Data sent between the E2B Cloud and your BYOC VPC is encrypted using TLS.

    VPC peering can be established to allow direct communication between the E2B Cloud and your BYOC VPC.
    When using VPC peering, the load balancer can be configured as private without a public IP address.

# DSCP marking for egress traffic
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/deployment/dscp-marking

Mark the egress traffic that leaves your sandboxes with a DSCP value so your firewalls can filter, log, or shape it.

<EnterpriseBanner />

On [BYOC](/byoc) deployments, the traffic that leaves your sandboxes can be marked with a [DSCP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differentiated_services) value - a small classifier carried in the IP header of every packet. Your firewalls, packet samplers, and QoS policies can then match on that value to filter, log, or shape E2B traffic, the same way you classify other traffic on your network. This is useful when you need to isolate, prioritize, or audit sandbox traffic for security or compliance.

Sandbox traffic and template-build traffic can carry separate DSCP values, so your network can tell the two apart and apply different rules to each.

## Enabling it

Marking is off by default. To turn it on, tell your E2B contact:

* the DSCP value (`0`-`63`) to use for sandbox traffic, and
* optionally, a separate value for template-build traffic.

Choose values that fit your existing firewall or QoS policy - E2B does not require any particular one, and leaving the build value unset means build traffic uses the same mark as sandbox traffic. E2B applies the values to your cluster.

Once marking is on, add rules on your side that match those DSCP values to filter, log, or shape the traffic. Nothing changes for code running inside the sandbox.

<Note>
  DSCP is a hint carried in the IP header. Whether it is honored, rewritten, or cleared depends on the network path between your cluster and the destination. Confirm your cloud and firewall preserve the field before relying on it.
</Note>


# Why does iptables fail with 'xt_owner module missing' in a sandbox?
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/faq/iptables-xt-owner

The E2B sandbox kernel does not ship the xt_owner module, so iptables rules using --uid-owner or --gid-owner fail. Use nftables, which does not need xt_owner for owner-based matching.

The `xt_owner` kernel module is not currently available in E2B's sandbox kernel. As a result, iptables rules that depend on it (most commonly `NAT REDIRECT` with `--uid-owner` or `--gid-owner`, used in transparent proxy setups) will fail with:

```
Warning: Extension owner revision 0 not supported, missing kernel module?
```

The command exits with code 4, which aborts any script running under `set -e`.

## Workaround: use nftables

[nftables](https://wiki.nftables.org/wiki-nftables/index.php/Main_Page) is the modern replacement for iptables and does not depend on the `xt_owner` module for owner-based matching. If you're setting up a transparent proxy or any rule that matches on user/group ownership, use nftables instead.


# Why does my custom template fail with 'port 49999 not open'?
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/faq/port-49999-not-open

The Code Interpreter service inside the sandbox did not start, usually because the custom template was not built on the code-interpreter-v1 base or the start command is missing.

If you call `.runCode` / `.run_code` from the E2B Code Interpreter SDK against a custom template and see this error, the Code Interpreter service inside the sandbox didn't start. This usually happens because the template was built without the Code Interpreter base image, or because the start command was not set.

**Example error**

```txt theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
{"sandboxId":"ilmqag7sxz49zjc3gex7x","message":"The sandbox is running but port is not open","port":49999,"code":502}: This error is likely due to sandbox timeout. You can modify the sandbox timeout by passing 'timeout' when starting the sandbox or calling '.set_timeout' on the sandbox with the desired timeout.
```

## Solution

The simplest fix is to base your template on the official `code-interpreter-v1` template, which already includes the start command and the Code Interpreter service.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Template } from '@e2b/code-interpreter'

  const template = Template().fromTemplate("code-interpreter-v1")
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b_code_interpreter import Template

  template = Template().from_template("code-interpreter-v1")
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Note>
  We strongly recommend the approach above. If you need to build from the Docker image directly instead, you must also set the start command yourself:
</Note>

<CodeGroup>
  ```ts JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Template, waitForURL } from '@e2b/code-interpreter'

  const template = Template()
      .fromImage("e2bdev/code-interpreter:latest")
      .setStartCmd(
          "sudo /root/.jupyter/start-up.sh", waitForURL("http://localhost:49999/health")
      )
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b_code_interpreter import Template, wait_for_url

  template = (
      Template()
      .from_image("e2bdev/code-interpreter:latest")
      .set_start_cmd(
          "sudo /root/.jupyter/start-up.sh", wait_for_url("http://localhost:49999/health")
      )
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>


# Is E2B SOC 2 compliant?
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/faq/security-and-compliance

E2B has a SOC 2 Type II report, served with the DPA template, penetration test, and bridge letter from the Trust Center at trust.e2b.dev. Covers where sandboxes run, encryption at rest, and how to request a HIPAA BAA, a signed DPA, a security questionnaire, or the subprocessor list.

Yes. E2B has a **SOC 2 Type II** report. It and the rest of E2B's security documentation are served from the E2B Trust Center at [trust.e2b.dev](https://trust.e2b.dev), which is the authoritative place to check the current status of each document.

E2B's contracting entity is FoundryLabs, Inc., a Delaware corporation.

## How sandboxes are isolated

Every sandbox is a [Firecracker](https://firecracker-microvm.github.io/) microVM, not a container. Each one boots its own kernel and is isolated from every other sandbox and from the host by the hypervisor, which is what makes it safe to run code an LLM wrote or a user supplied.

## What the Trust Center serves

| Document | How to get it |
| - | - |
| SOC 2 Type II report | "Request access" form |
| SOC 2 bridge letter | Opens directly, no request needed |
| Data Processing Addendum (DPA) template | "Request access" form |
| Penetration test report | "Request access" form |
| Certificate of liability insurance | "Request access" form |

## Where sandboxes run

E2B's managed sandboxes run on **Google Cloud**, and in the US West (AWS) region on **AWS**. The available regions, and which plan each is available on, are listed in [Do you publish egress IP ranges (CIDRs)?](/faq/egress-ip-ranges). To keep sandboxes inside your own cloud account and VPC instead, see [BYOC](/byoc).

In the Google Cloud regions, sandbox storage sits under [Google Cloud's default encryption at rest](https://docs.cloud.google.com/docs/security/encryption/default-encryption). E2B adds no encryption layer and holds no key material of its own for it. In US West (AWS), sandbox storage sits under AWS's default encryption at rest, and E2B adds no encryption layer on top. On a BYOC deployment, storage lives in your account and is covered by your own controls, and traffic between the E2B Cloud and your VPC is encrypted with TLS.

## Things the Trust Center does not cover

Contact [support@e2b.dev](mailto:support@e2b.dev) and we will route it to the right team for:

* A **HIPAA business associate agreement (BAA)**
* A **signed** DPA, or changes to our standard terms
* A completed **security questionnaire**, or a question the documents above do not answer
* A **subprocessor** list

To report a security vulnerability, email [security@e2b.dev](mailto:security@e2b.dev). Note that our [terms of service](https://e2b.dev/terms) do not permit probing, scanning, or testing the service without prior written consent, so contact us before running any test against E2B.


# E2B_ACCESS_TOKEN deprecation
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/migration/access-token-deprecation

E2B_ACCESS_TOKEN is deprecated and no longer works. Authenticate the CLI with E2B_API_KEY instead.

`E2B_ACCESS_TOKEN` was deprecated for security reasons and, as of August 1, 2026, no longer works. It was announced on June 22, 2026. Authenticate with `E2B_API_KEY` instead.

* **July 1, 2026**: new access tokens could no longer be generated in the dashboard. Existing tokens kept working until August 1.
* **August 1, 2026**: all access tokens stopped working. Any request authenticated with an access token now fails.

For most people this is a small change. The E2B CLI already authenticates with `E2B_API_KEY` alone, so it no longer needs the access token. As of August 1, 2026 the infrastructure no longer accepts the token at all. In practice the migration is removing a now-redundant environment variable, and upgrading the CLI if you are on an older version.

## Who is affected

This affects anyone who authenticates the E2B CLI by setting the `E2B_ACCESS_TOKEN` environment variable. CI/CD pipelines are the most common case, but the same applies to servers, containers, and local scripts. The E2B SDKs authenticate with API keys, so SDK users are unaffected.

The interactive login commands `e2b auth login` and `e2b auth configure` set up your local workstation. They are outside the scope of this change.

It also affects anyone still on the V1 build system, since V1 builds authenticated with the access token. Now that tokens no longer work, V1 builds have stopped as well. See the [V1 build system deprecation](/migration/v1-build-deprecation) to migrate to V2, which builds with `E2B_API_KEY`.

## Migrate your CLI authentication

First, get an API key. You can find it in the <a href="https://console.e2b.dev/?tab=keys">console keys tab</a>. It is the same key you use with the SDKs.

Next, set a single environment variable wherever you run the CLI and remove the access token. Use CLI version 2.12.1 or later (latest recommended).

```bash Terminal theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
# Set only your API key (no access token, no login step)
export E2B_API_KEY=e2b_...
```

Your API key is scoped to a project, so the CLI targets the right project automatically. There is no separate project variable to set.

With the API key set, run CLI commands directly. You do not need to run `e2b auth login`.

```bash Terminal theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
e2b template create my-template
e2b sandbox list
```

If you currently set both variables, delete the `E2B_ACCESS_TOKEN` line. It is no longer needed.

```bash Terminal theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
export E2B_API_KEY=e2b_...
export E2B_ACCESS_TOKEN=...   # Remove this line
```


# Sandbox git module deprecation
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/migration/git-deprecation

The sandbox.git module is deprecated. Run git through sandbox.commands.run() instead.

The `sandbox.git` module in the JavaScript and Python SDKs is deprecated. It still works today, but it will be removed in the next major version of the SDKs. See the [SDK deprecation PR](https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B/pull/1774) for the full list of deprecated symbols.

## Migrate to `sandbox.commands.run()`

Git is installed in the sandbox, so every `sandbox.git` call has a direct equivalent as a shell command.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  // Deprecated
  await sandbox.git.clone('https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B.git', { path: 'repo' })

  // Use instead
  await sandbox.commands.run('git clone https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B.git repo')
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  # Deprecated
  sandbox.git.clone("https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B.git", path="repo")

  # Use instead
  sandbox.commands.run("git clone https://github.com/e2b-dev/E2B.git repo")
  ```
</CodeGroup>

For private repositories, pass the token through `envs` so it is not baked into the command string you log.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  await sandbox.commands.run(
    'git clone https://x-access-token:$GITHUB_TOKEN@github.com/your-org/your-repo.git /home/user/repo',
    { envs: { GITHUB_TOKEN: process.env.GITHUB_TOKEN } }
  )

  await sandbox.commands.run('cd /home/user/repo && git status --porcelain=v2 --branch')
  await sandbox.commands.run('cd /home/user/repo && git add -A && git commit -m "Initial commit"')
  await sandbox.commands.run(
    'cd /home/user/repo && git push origin main',
    { envs: { GITHUB_TOKEN: process.env.GITHUB_TOKEN } }
  )
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import os

  sandbox.commands.run(
      "git clone https://x-access-token:$GITHUB_TOKEN@github.com/your-org/your-repo.git /home/user/repo",
      envs={"GITHUB_TOKEN": os.environ["GITHUB_TOKEN"]},
  )

  sandbox.commands.run("cd /home/user/repo && git status --porcelain=v2 --branch")
  sandbox.commands.run('cd /home/user/repo && git add -A && git commit -m "Initial commit"')
  sandbox.commands.run(
      "cd /home/user/repo && git push origin main",
      envs={"GITHUB_TOKEN": os.environ["GITHUB_TOKEN"]},
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

Unlike `sandbox.git.status()` and `sandbox.git.branches()`, the commands module returns raw stdout, so parse the output yourself (for example with `git status --porcelain=v2`).

The existing `sandbox.git` reference remains available on the [Git integration](/sandbox/git-integration) page.


# V2 build system migration
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/migration/template-v2

How to migrate from the legacy template definition

We've made ready for you three ways how to migrate existing template to the new definition format.

* Using the migration command (recommended)
* Using the `fromDockerfile()` method to parse existing Dockerfile
* Building the Docker image manually and using `fromImage()` method

<Warning>
  *This is handled for you automatically when using any of the options below.*

  The default user for the template is `user` with the working directory set to the user home directory. This is a difference from the Docker defaults.
</Warning>

## Migration command (recommended)

To migrate the existing template definition to the new format, follow these steps:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Install E2B CLI">
    Install the latest version of the [E2B CLI](https://docs.e2b.dev/cli)
  </Step>

  <Step title="Navigate to your template folder">
    Navigate to the folder of your existing template definition (where you have `e2b.toml` and `e2b.Dockerfile` files).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Run migration command">
    <Note>
      Your existing `e2b.toml` and `e2b.Dockerfile` files will be renamed to `e2b.toml.old` and `e2b.Dockerfile.old`, respectively, as they are no longer required.
    </Note>

    ```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
    e2b template migrate
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Follow the prompts">
    Follow the prompts to complete the migration process.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Done" />
</Steps>

### Generated output

The migration command generates three files (based on the selected language).

<CodeGroup>
  ```markdown JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  template.ts - Template definition using the SDK
  build.dev.ts - Development build script
  build.prod.ts - Production build script
  ```

  ```markdown Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  template.py - Template definition using the SDK
  build_dev.py - Development build script
  build_prod.py - Production build script
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Using `fromDockerfile()` Method

If you want to keep using Dockerfile for your template, you can use the `fromDockerfile()` method.
We'll automatically parse the Dockerfile for you and build the template based on it.
You can find more at [Base Image](/template/base-image#parsing-existing-dockerfiles).

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  // template.ts
  import { Template } from 'e2b';

  const template = Template()
    .fromDockerfile(dockerfileContent);
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  # template.py
  from e2b import Template

  template = (
      Template()
      .from_dockerfile(dockerfile_content)
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Info>
  Only a limited set of instructions are supported and converted to equivalent template.

  Compatible instructions:

  `FROM`, `RUN`, `COPY`, `ADD`, `WORKDIR`, `USER`, `ENV`, `ARG`, `CMD`, `ENTRYPOINT`
</Info>

After the template definition, you can create the build scripts as described in the [Quickstart](/template/quickstart#create-a-development-build-script) section.

## Using `fromImage()` Method

If you already have a Docker image built, or you want to keep building the Docker image yourself you can use the `fromImage()` method.
Simply build the Docker image for the `linux/amd64` platform, push it to a registry of your choice and reference the image tag in the `fromImage()` method.
You can also specify credentials for private registries as described in the [Base Image](/template/base-image#custom-base-image) section.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  // template.ts
  import { Template } from 'e2b';

  const template = Template()
    .fromImage("image-tag");
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  # template.py
  from e2b import Template

  template = (
      Template()
      .from_image("image-tag")
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>


# V1 build system deprecation
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/migration/v1-build-deprecation

The V1 template build system is deprecated. Migrate to the V2 build system.

The V1 build system is deprecated, and V2 is the supported build system. V1 builds stopped working on **August 1, 2026**, when [access tokens were disabled](/migration/access-token-deprecation) (V1 builds authenticated with `E2B_ACCESS_TOKEN`). Migrate to V2 to keep building.

## What changed

The `e2b template build` command that drove V1 builds is now a deprecation stub and exits immediately. The current build command is `e2b template create`, which authenticates with your `E2B_API_KEY` instead of the access token. Migrating to V2 is therefore also what keeps your builds working now that the access token cutoff has passed.

## How to migrate

Follow the [V2 migration guide](/migration/template-v2) to move an existing template to the V2 build system. It covers three paths:

* `e2b template migrate` to convert an existing `e2b.toml` and `e2b.Dockerfile` definition (recommended).
* `fromDockerfile()` to keep using a Dockerfile, parsed into a V2 template.
* `fromImage()` to reference a Docker image you build and push yourself.


# SDK v2 migration guide
Source: https://docs.e2b.dev/migration/v2



This guide helps you migrate from E2B SDK v1 to v2, covering all breaking changes and new patterns.

## Table of contents

SDK v2 introduces several important changes:

* [**New creation pattern in Python Synchronous SDK**](#1-sandbox-creation-in-synchronous-python-sdk)
* [**Secure by default**](#2-secure-communication-by-default)
* [**Updated file operations in Python SDK**](#3-file-writing-in-python-sdk)
* [**Updated list method**](#4-listing-sandboxes)

## Breaking changes

### 1. Sandbox creation in synchronous Python SDK

In v2, the synchronous Python SDK uses a class method `create()` instead of the constructor `Sandbox()`.

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b_code_interpreter import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create()
  sandbox = Sandbox.create(template="base")
  ```
</CodeGroup>

In the v1, you would instantiate directly:

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b_code_interpreter import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox()
  sandbox = Sandbox(template="base")
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### 2. Secure communication by default

Sandboxes are now **secure by default**. This means you can't access the sandbox controller directly through its URL without an authentication header.
The SDK automatically handles the authentication header for you.

For custom templates created before envd `v0.2.0`, you need to rebuild them to enable secure communication.
Otherwise, you will receive error messages when creating sandboxes. You can check the template envd version using the `e2b template list` command or view the templates list in the dashboard.

You can temporarily disable secure communication by setting `secure` to `false` during sandbox creation, but this is not recommended for production environments.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox } from '@e2b/code-interpreter'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create({ secure: false }) // Explicitly disable
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b_code_interpreter import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create(secure=False)  # Explicitly disable
  ```
</CodeGroup>

Check more details in the [secured access documentation](/sandbox/secured-access).

### 3. File writing in Python SDK

The file writing API in Python has been made more consistent.

In v2, use `sandbox.files.write()` for single files and `sandbox.files.write_files()` for multiple files:

<CodeGroup>
  ```python v2 theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b_code_interpreter import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create()

  # Write single file
  info = sandbox.files.write("/tmp/file.txt", "content")

  # Write multiple files
  infos = sandbox.files.write_files([
      {"path": "/tmp/file1.txt", "data": "content1"},
      {"path": "/tmp/file2.txt", "data": "content2"}
  ])
  ```
</CodeGroup>

In v1, the same `write()` method was overloaded for both single and multiple files:

<CodeGroup>
  ```python v1 theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b_code_interpreter import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create()

  # Write single file
  info = sandbox.write(path="/tmp/file.txt", data="content")

  # Write multiple files
  infos = sandbox.write([
      {"path": "/tmp/file1.txt", "data": "content1"},
      {"path": "/tmp/file2.txt", "data": "content2"}
  ])
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### 4. Listing sandboxes

The method for listing sandboxes has been updated to use pagination.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  import { Sandbox, SandboxInfo } from '@e2b/code-interpreter'

  // Get paginator
  const paginator = Sandbox.list()

  // Iterate through all sandboxes
  for (const sandbox of await paginator.nextItems()) {
      console.log(sandbox.sandboxId)
  }

  // Iterate through all sandboxes
  const allSandboxes: SandboxInfo[] = []
  while (paginator.hasNext) {
      const items = await paginator.nextItems()
      allSandboxes.push(...items)
  }

  // With query
  const queryPaginator = Sandbox.list({query: {metadata: {key: "value"}}})
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
  from e2b_code_interpreter import Sandbox, SandboxQuery

  # Get paginator
  paginator = Sandbox.list()

  # Iterate through all sandboxes
  while paginator.has_next:
      sandboxes = paginator.next_items()
      print(sandboxes)

  # With query
  paginator = Sandbox.list(query=SandboxQuery(metadata={"key": "value"}))
  ```
</CodeGroup>
