Sandbox Management

Once you create a Sandbox, you gain access to a full suite of environment management tools.

Snapshots

The Snapshots tab allows you to create and manage existing Sandbox snapshots.

To create a snapshot, go to the Snapshots tab and click Take snapshot — this will create a copy of the Sandbox’s current state. Below, you can view all other snapshots previously created for this Sandbox.

Snapshots are saved states of the Sandbox at the moment they were taken. You can use them to:

  • Run this snapshot in a new sandbox: Uses the snapshot to create a new sandbox
  • Revert to this snapshot: Restore the current Sandbox to the state saved in a snapshot.

Settings

The Settings tab contains all configuration options for the Sandbox.

Preparing Sandbox with YAML

The YAML configuration allows for easy management and versioning of environments. Example:

yaml
- sandbox: my-app-sandbox name: My Application Environment os: ubuntu:24.04 install_commands: |- apt-get update apt-get install curl -y curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_20.x | sudo -E bash - apt-get install -y nodejs run_command: node server.js app_dir: /var/www app_type: CMD endpoints: - www: 80

For detailed information about YAML parameters, see the Sandbox YAML documentation.

Sandbox Folders

Sandbox folders work exactly the same as for projects and pipelines, allowing you to store sandbox servers according to a selected pattern. To add or manage a folder, click the three dots at the top when on the Sandboxes view:
