Configuration

Configuration Methods

Daytona SDK supports multiple ways to configure your environment, in order of precedence:

1. Configuration in code
2. Environment variables
3. .env file
4. Default values

Configuration in Code

Daytona SDK provides an option to configure settings using the DaytonaConfig class in Python and TypeScript. The DaytonaConfig class accepts the following parameters:

• api_key: Your Daytona API Key
• api_url: URL of your Daytona API
• target: Daytona Target to create the Sandboxes on.

from daytona import DaytonaConfig

config = DaytonaConfig(
    api_key="your-api-key",
    api_url="your-api-url",
    target="us"
)

import { DaytonaConfig } from '@daytonaio/sdk';

const config: DaytonaConfig = {
    apiKey: "your-api-key",
    apiUrl: "your-api-url",
    target: "us"
};

Environment Variables

Daytona SDK supports environment variables for configuration. The SDK automatically looks for these environment variables:

Set environment variables in your shell:

export DAYTONA_API_KEY=your-api-key
export DAYTONA_API_URL=https://your-api-url
export DAYTONA_TARGET=us

$env:DAYTONA_API_KEY="your-api-key"
$env:DAYTONA_API_URL="https://your-api-url"
$env:DAYTONA_TARGET="us"

You can also set these environment variables in a .env file.

.env File

Create a .env file in your project root directory:

DAYTONA_API_KEY=your-api-key
DAYTONA_API_URL=https://your-api-url
DAYTONA_TARGET=us

The SDK will automatically read these values when initializing.

Default Values

If no configuration is provided, Daytona SDK will use its built-in defaults:
