Configuration

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

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

Configuration in code

To configure your environment in code, use the DaytonaConfig class. The DaytonaConfig class accepts the following parameters:

• api_key: Your Daytona API Key
• api_url: URL of your Daytona API
• target: Target region to create the Sandboxes on (e.g. us)

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

Shell

To set environment variables in your shell, use the following commands:

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"

.env file

To set environment variables in a .env file, use the following syntax:

DAYTONA_API_KEY=YOUR_API_KEY
DAYTONA_API_URL=https://your_api_url
DAYTONA_TARGET=us

Default values

If no configuration is provided, Daytona will use its built-in default values:
