description: "Build and run Sandbox Agent in a Docker container."
---
<Warning>
Docker is not recommended for production isolation of untrusted workloads. Use dedicated sandbox providers (E2B, Daytona, etc.) for stronger isolation.
</Warning>
## Quick start
Run Sandbox Agent with agents pre-installed:
```bash
docker run --rm -p 3000:3000 \
-e ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="$ANTHROPIC_API_KEY" \
-e OPENAI_API_KEY="$OPENAI_API_KEY" \
alpine:latest sh -c "\
apk add --no-cache curl ca-certificates libstdc++ libgcc bash nodejs npm && \
curl -fsSL https://releases.rivet.dev/sandbox-agent/0.2.x/install.sh | sh && \
sandbox-agent server --no-token --host 0.0.0.0 --port 3000"
```
## TypeScript with dockerode
```typescript
import Docker from "dockerode";
import { SandboxAgent } from "sandbox-agent";
const docker = new Docker();
const PORT = 3000;
const container = await docker.createContainer({
Image: "node:22-bookworm-slim",
Cmd: ["sh", "-c", [
"apt-get update",
"DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install -y curl ca-certificates bash libstdc++6",
"rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*",
"curl -fsSL https://releases.rivet.dev/sandbox-agent/0.2.x/install.sh | sh",
`sandbox-agent server --no-token --host 0.0.0.0 --port ${PORT}`,
].join(" && ")],
Env: [
`ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=${process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY}`,
`OPENAI_API_KEY=${process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY}`,
`CODEX_API_KEY=${process.env.CODEX_API_KEY}`,
].filter(Boolean),
ExposedPorts: { [`${PORT}/tcp`]: {} },
HostConfig: {
AutoRemove: true,
PortBindings: { [`${PORT}/tcp`]: [{ HostPort: `${PORT}` }] },
},
});
await container.start();
const baseUrl = `http://127.0.0.1:${PORT}`;
const sdk = await SandboxAgent.connect({ baseUrl });
const session = await sdk.createSession({ agent: "codex" });
await session.prompt([{ type: "text", text: "Summarize this repository." }]);
```
## Building from source
```bash
docker build -f docker/release/linux-x86_64.Dockerfile -t sandbox-agent-build .
docker run --rm -v "$PWD/artifacts:/artifacts" sandbox-agent-build
```
Binary output: `./artifacts/sandbox-agent-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl`.
