Restart & Shutdown

Restart

Restarting a Sandbox won't use a snapshot and will start from scratch. It will install and build its configured resources (including your files in /project/sandbox) and also run with the latest version of the agent.

let sandbox = await sdk.sandboxes.resume('sandbox-id')
 
sandbox = await sdk.sandboxes.restart(sandbox.id);

💡

Note that when restarting you get a new reference to the Sandbox. You will need to create a new session from that new reference.

Shutdown

You can also shutdown a sandbox without creating a memory snapshot. Once shut down the Sandbox will need to boot from a clean state (but your files in /project/sandbox will be preserved).

const sandbox = await sdk.sandboxes.resume('sandbox-id')
 
await sdk.sandboxes.shutdown(sandbox.id);

Generally you should shutdown a sandbox if you want to come back to your project in a fresh instance.
