SandboxesDashboard

Dashboard

Every project has a Sandboxes page for creating and inspecting sandboxes by hand — useful for debugging an agent’s environment, grabbing an interactive shell, or spot-checking what code produced. Open a project and select Sandboxes in the sidebar (/<workspace>/<project>/sandboxes).

The page has three tabs: Sandboxes, Volumes, and Snapshots.

Getting an API key

If you haven’t used sandboxes yet, the empty state walks you through creating an API key for the SDK. The key is shown once — copy it immediately; it can’t be retrieved later. Store it as LIZARD_API_KEY (see the Quickstart).

Create a sandbox

Click New Sandbox and set:

  • Snapshot — the template to boot from (base or code-interpreter-v1).
  • Location — the region to run in (defaults to the nearest available).
  • Resources — vCPUs (1 / 2 / 4 / 8) and memory.

Sandboxes created here have no timeout — they run until you kill them.

Inspect a running sandbox

Selecting a sandbox opens a detail drawer with two tabs.

Overview shows its ID, template, status, region, and CPU/memory, plus:

  • Exposed ports — every port opened with getHost, each with a copyable public https://…onlizard.com URL you can open directly.
  • SSH access — when available, a ready-to-paste ssh root@<node-ip> -p <port> command and the generated password.

Terminal gives you an in-browser shell straight into the micro-VM (backed by SSH), so you can poke around without leaving the dashboard.

Live sandboxes report real-time CPU and memory usage in the list; paused and stopped ones report zero.

Lifecycle

  • Kill Sandbox (in the detail drawer) terminates it immediately and frees its resources — including detaching any volume.
  • Pause / resume are driven from the SDK; a paused sandbox shows as Paused here and consumes no on-demand compute.

Snapshots

The Snapshots tab lists the templates a sandbox can boot from — the built-in base and code-interpreter-v1, plus any custom templates pushed with lizard push. Each entry shows its default vCPU/memory and description.

Volumes

The Volumes tab manages persistent storage: create a volume with a name and size, and see which sandbox each one is attached to.
