Daytona

class Daytona()

Main class for interacting with the Daytona API.

This class provides methods to create, manage, and interact with Daytona Sandboxes. It can be initialized either with explicit configuration or using environment variables.

Attributes:

  • volume VolumeService - Service for managing volumes.
  • snapshot SnapshotService - Service for managing snapshots.

Example:

Using environment variables:

daytona = Daytona() # Uses DAYTONA_API_KEY, DAYTONA_API_URL
sandbox = daytona.create()

Using explicit configuration:

config = DaytonaConfig(
api_key="your-api-key",
api_url="https://your-api.com",
target="us"
)
daytona = Daytona(config)
sandbox = daytona.create()

Using OpenTelemetry tracing:

config = DaytonaConfig(
api_key="your-api-key",
experimental={"otelEnabled": True} # Enable OpenTelemetry tracing through experimental config
)
async with Daytona(config) as daytona:
sandbox = daytona.create()
# All SDK operations will be traced
# OpenTelemetry traces are flushed on close

Daytona.__init__

def __init__(config: DaytonaConfig | None = None)

Initializes Daytona instance with optional configuration.

If no config is provided, reads from environment variables:

  • DAYTONA_API_KEY: Required API key for authentication
  • DAYTONA_API_URL: Required api URL
  • DAYTONA_TARGET: Optional target environment (if not provided, default region for the organization is used)

Arguments:

  • config DaytonaConfig | None - Object containing api_key, api_url, and target.

Raises:

  • DaytonaError - If API key is not provided either through config or environment variables

Example:

from daytona import Daytona, DaytonaConfig
# Using environment variables
daytona1 = Daytona()
# Using explicit configuration
config = DaytonaConfig(
api_key="your-api-key",
api_url="https://your-api.com",
target="us"
)
daytona2 = Daytona(config)

Daytona.create

@overload
def create(params: CreateSandboxFromSnapshotParams | None = None,
*,
timeout: float = 60) -> Sandbox

Creates Sandboxes from specified or default snapshot. You can specify various parameters, including language, image, environment variables, and volumes.

Arguments:

  • params CreateSandboxFromSnapshotParams | None - Parameters for Sandbox creation. If not provided, defaults to default Daytona snapshot and Python language.
  • timeout float - Timeout (in seconds) for sandbox creation. 0 means no timeout. Default is 60 seconds.

Returns:

Raises:

  • DaytonaError - If timeout, auto_stop_interval or auto_archive_interval is negative; If sandbox fails to start or times out

Example:

Create a default Python Sandbox:

sandbox = daytona.create()

Create a custom Sandbox:

params = CreateSandboxFromSnapshotParams(
language="python",
snapshot="my-snapshot-id",
env_vars={"DEBUG": "true"},
auto_stop_interval=0,
auto_archive_interval=60,
auto_delete_interval=120

sandbox = daytona.create(params, timeout=40)

Daytona.create

@overload
def create(

on_snapshot_create_logs: Callable[[str], None] | None = None
) -> Sandbox

Creates Sandboxes from specified image available on some registry or declarative Daytona Image. You can specify various parameters, including resources, language, image, environment variables, and volumes. Daytona creates snapshot from provided image and uses it to create Sandbox.

  • timeout float - Timeout (in seconds) for sandbox creation. 0 means no timeout. Default is 60 seconds.
  • on_snapshot_create_logs Callable[[str], None] | None - This callback function handles snapshot creation logs.

Returns:

  • Sandbox - The created Sandbox instance.

Raises:

Example:

Create a default Python Sandbox from image:

sandbox = daytona.create(CreateSandboxFromImageParams(image="debian:12.9"))

Create a custom Sandbox from declarative Image definition:

declarative_image = (
Image.base("alpine:3.18")
.pipInstall(["numpy", "pandas"])
.env({"MY_ENV_VAR": "My Environment Variable"})
)
params = CreateSandboxFromImageParams(
language="python",
image=declarative_image,
env_vars={"DEBUG": "true"},
resources=Resources(cpu=2, memory=4),
auto_stop_interval=0,
auto_archive_interval=60,
