Overview

A running sandbox (microVM) — the primary entry point of the SDK.

Examples:

Block form (auto-stops on exit)

Microsandbox::Sandbox.create("hello", image: "python") do |sb|
  out = sb.exec("python", ["-c", "print('hi')"])
  puts out.stdout
end

Manual lifecycle

sb = Microsandbox::Sandbox.create("hello", image: "python")
begin
  sb.shell("echo hi")
ensure
  sb.stop
end

Create and boot a sandbox.

When a block is given the sandbox is yielded and stopped automatically when the block returns (the block’s value is returned); otherwise the live Microsandbox::Sandbox is returned and you are responsible for calling #stop.

Parameters:

  • name (String)

    sandbox name (max 128 UTF-8 bytes)

  • image (String, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    OCI image reference (e.g. “python”)

  • cpus (Integer, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    number of vCPUs

  • memory (Integer, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    memory in MiB

  • env (Hash, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    environment variables

  • workdir (String, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    working directory inside the guest

  • shell (String, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    default shell (for #shell)

  • user (String, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    default user

  • hostname (String, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    guest hostname

  • labels (Hash, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    metadata labels

  • scripts (Hash, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    named scripts to install

  • entrypoint (Array<String>, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    image entrypoint override

  • ports (Hash, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    host_port => guest_port TCP publications

  • ports_udp (Hash, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    host_port => guest_port UDP publications

  • network (String, Symbol, NetworkPolicy, Hash, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    network policy. A preset name (“public_only” (default), “none”, “allow_all”, “non_local”), a NetworkPolicy (e.g. NetworkPolicy.custom), or a Hash describing a custom policy (‘default_egress:`, `default_ingress:`, `rules:`, `deny_domains:`, `deny_domain_suffixes:`). See NetworkPolicy and Rule.

  • patches (Array<Hash>, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    rootfs patches applied before boot, each built with the Patch factory (e.g. ‘Patch.text(…)`, `Patch.mkdir(…)`). Not compatible with disk-image roots.

  • log_level ("error", "warn", "info", "debug", "trace", nil) (defaults to: nil)

    guest log verbosity

  • quiet_logs (Boolean) (defaults to: false)

    suppress sandbox process logs

  • security ("default", "restricted", nil) (defaults to: nil)

    exec security profile

  • oci_upper_size (Integer, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    writable upper-layer size cap, in MiB

  • max_duration (Integer, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    hard wall-clock lifetime, in seconds

  • idle_timeout (Integer, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    stop after this many idle seconds

  • rlimits (Hash, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    resource limits: { resource => limit } or { resource => [soft, hard] } (e.g. { nofile: 65_535 })

  • pull_policy ("always", "if-missing", "never", nil) (defaults to: nil)

    image pull behavior

  • registry_auth (Hash, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    credentials for a private/authenticated registry: { username:, password: } (the password may be a token). Without this the core’s default resolution chain still applies (OS keyring, global config, ‘~/.docker/config.json`).

  • registry_insecure (Boolean) (defaults to: false)

    reach the registry over plain HTTP instead of HTTPS (for local/self-hosted registries)

  • registry_ca_certs (String, Array<String>, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    extra PEM-encoded CA root certificate(s) to trust (for a registry with a private CA)

  • secrets (Array<Hash>, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    placeholder-protected secrets, each { env:, value:, host: } — the value is substituted by the TLS proxy only for the allowed host (auto-enables TLS interception)

  • detached (Boolean) (defaults to: false)

    keep running after this process exits

  • replace (Boolean) (defaults to: false)

    replace an existing sandbox with the same name

  • replace_with_timeout (Numeric, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    replace, waiting up to N seconds

Yield Parameters:

Returns:

  • (Sandbox, Object)

    the sandbox, or the block’s return value

Instance Method Details

#attach(command, args = [], cwd: nil, user: nil, env: nil, detach_keys: nil, rlimits: nil) ⇒ Integer

Attach an interactive terminal to a command in the sandbox.

Puts the host terminal into raw mode and forwards keystrokes (and SIGWINCH resizes) to the guest until the command exits or the detach sequence is typed. Requires a real TTY on stdin/stdout, so it is for CLI use, not library/automation code (use #exec/#exec_stream there). Blocks until the session ends. Mirrors the official SDKs’ ‘attach`.

Parameters:

  • command (String)

    the program to run

  • args (Array<String>) (defaults to: [])

    its arguments

  • cwd (String, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    working directory

  • user (String, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    user to run as

  • env (Hash, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    extra environment variables

  • detach_keys (String, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    detach sequence (e.g. “ctrl-p,ctrl-q”; default “ctrl-]”)

  • rlimits (Hash, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    resource limits (see #exec)

Returns:

  • (Integer)

    the command’s exit code (or the code at detach)

end

#attach_shellInteger

Attach an interactive terminal running the sandbox’s default shell. See #attach for the host-TTY requirements.

Returns:

end

#detachnil

Returns:

  • (nil)

#exec(command, args = [], cwd: nil, user: nil, env: nil, timeout: nil, tty: false, stdin: nil, rlimits: nil) ⇒ ExecOutput

Run a command (no shell interpretation) and collect its output.

Parameters:

  • command (String)

    the executable

  • args (Array<String>) (defaults to: [])

    arguments

  • cwd (String, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    working directory

  • user (String, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    user to run as

  • env (Hash, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    extra environment variables

  • timeout (Numeric, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    kill after N seconds

  • tty (Boolean) (defaults to: false)

    allocate a pseudo-terminal

  • stdin (String, Symbol, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    bytes to feed to stdin, or :pipe to open a streaming stdin pipe (write/close it via ExecHandle#stdin; only useful with the streaming variants)

Returns:

  ExecOutput.new(@native.exec(command.to_s, Array(args).map(&:to_s),
    exec_opts(cwd:, user:, env:, timeout:, tty:, stdin:, rlimits:)))
end

#exec_stream(command, args = [], cwd: nil, user: nil, env: nil, timeout: nil, tty: false, stdin: nil, rlimits: nil) ⇒ ExecHandle

Run a command and stream its output as it arrives.

Pass stdin: :pipe to feed the process interactively: ExecHandle#stdin then returns a writable sink; close it to send EOF (a process like cat that reads until EOF will otherwise block forever).

Returns:

  • since_ms (Numeric, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    start at the first entry at/after this Unix ms
