This page documents legacy OpenHands V0 behavior. For the current V1 sandbox model, see Sandboxes (V1).
E2B offers Python and JS/TS SDK to spawn and control these sandboxes.

​
Getting started

  1. Get your API key
  2. Set your E2B API key to the E2B_API_KEY env var when starting the Docker container
  3. Optional - Install the CLI with NPM. 
    npm install -g @e2b/cli@latest
    Full CLI API is here.

​
OpenHands sandbox

You can use the E2B CLI to create a custom sandbox with a Dockerfile. Read the full guide here. The premade OpenHands sandbox for E2B is set up in the containers directory, and it’s called openhands.

​
Debugging

You can connect to a running E2B sandbox with E2B CLI in your terminal.
  • List all running sandboxes (based on your API key) 
    e2b sandbox list
  • Connect to a running sandbox 
    e2b sandbox connect <sandbox-id>
