Sandboxes dashboard
The dashboard lets you create and manage Sandboxes without code. Open a project and select Sandboxes in the sidebar. Create a sandbox with New Sandbox: pick a template from the catalog, a region, and a size: Mini (on the base, claude, codex and interpreter templates), Small, Medium (the default), or Large. Choose the region you need; the default may not be the nearest one. Pick a lifetime under Delete after: 15 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours, 1 day, 7 days, or Never (the default). During the trial, the dialog offers Mini and Small, 1 Small and 2 Mini at a time, in US regions, and Delete after offers 15 minutes and 1 hour (the default): trial sandboxes are deleted after 1 hour at most. Next to New Sandbox, the dashboard shows the vCPU in use and your vCPU limit.
API keys
To create sandboxes from code, create an API key in Settings → API keys and store it in LIZARD_API_KEY. Lizard SDK and the HTTP API read it; see the quickstart.
Inspect and stop
The detail view shows status, template, region, measured usage, and exposed ports. Its header has Pause and Resume buttons, and the Terminal tab opens a shell in a running sandbox.
A running sandbox bills by the second at its size’s hourly price, idle time included; a paused one does not, so pause or kill it when the task ends. See storage and billing.
Templates and volumes
The sidebar also has Volumes (Persistent Volumes), Templates and Agents. Templates lists platform templates and the snapshots taken in the current project; start a new sandbox from either. Create snapshots with the SDK or CLI. Kill Sandbox stops the sandbox and detaches its volume.
Create and attach volumes with the SDK or CLI; the create form has no volume option. Volumes shows each volume’s size and attached sandbox, and lets you browse files, resize, or delete it. Stop the current sandbox before attaching the volume to another.
Agents connects the credentials that coding agents use in sandboxes, as lizard agents does.
