Code Sandbox FAQs

Question 1

Does Code Sandbox support stateful code execution?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Code Sandbox automatically manages stateful sessions for each language. This means variables, function definitions, and imported modules persist across multiple code executions within the same session, enhancing interactive development.

Question 2

How does Code Sandbox ensure code security?

Accepted Answer

It leverages Docker for strong isolation, applying strict resource limits, ephemeral filesystems, a read-only root, non-root user execution, and optional network disabling. Advanced security options like `--cap-drop ALL` and `--security-opt no-new-privileges` further harden the environment.

Question 3

Can I install packages or access the internet with Code Sandbox?

Accepted Answer

By default, network access is disabled for maximum security. However, you can configure Code Sandbox to enable network access, allowing for tasks like package installation (`pip install`, `npm install`) or making API calls. All installations are ephemeral and do not persist outside the container session.

Question 4

Which programming languages does Code Sandbox support?

Accepted Answer

Code Sandbox supports 12 programming languages, including Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Ruby, Java, Kotlin, Groovy, Scala, Bash, Zsh, Fish, and Clojure, all within an optimized Alpine Linux-based image.

Question 5

What is Code Sandbox?

Accepted Answer

Code Sandbox is a secure, Docker-based server designed for executing code snippets in multiple programming languages within an isolated and controlled environment. It's ideal for safely running untrusted code or testing.
