Sandboxes
Create isolated development environments from templates.
What Are Sandboxes?
Sandboxes are preconfigured development environments. Each sandbox runs in its own isolated context with a dedicated filesystem, network, and set of tools.
Think of them as disposable workspaces. Create one for a task, work inside it, and tear it down when you are done. Nothing leaks into your host system.
Create a Sandbox
Click Sandboxes in the sidebar, then New Sandbox.
Choose a template or start from a base image. Configure an optional name and resource limits.
The sandbox starts in seconds. ArcBox opens a terminal session automatically.
Sandbox Lifecycle
Stop preserves the sandbox state. You can resume later exactly where you left off.
Destroy removes the sandbox and all its data permanently.
Use Cases
Experimenting
Try a new tool or library without affecting your system.
Reproducing Bugs
Spin up a clean environment matching a reported issue.
Training
Provide students with identical, disposable environments.
Security
Run untrusted code in a fully isolated context.
Templates
See Templates for available pre-built sandbox configurations.
