Fix changelog rewind syntax to use positional args instead of flags. Clarify Daytona snapshot note to distinguish configured-but-missing vs unconfigured cases. Add rewind/workflow-list CLI reference sections, checkpoints rewind guide, thread_id validation rule, and human gate behavior details.

description: "Run Fabro workflows in sandboxed Daytona cloud environments"
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
[Daytona](https://daytona.io) provides cloud-hosted sandbox VMs for Fabro workflows. Each run gets an ephemeral, isolated environment with its own filesystem, network, and compute resources — keeping your host machine clean and giving agents a reproducible workspace.
|
|
|
|
## What the Daytona integration enables
|
|
|
|
| Feature | How it's used |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| **Sandboxed execution** | Agent tool calls (shell commands, file edits, grep, glob) run inside a cloud VM instead of on the host |
|
|
| **Snapshots** | Pre-built environment images so each run starts with dependencies already installed |
|
|
| **SSH access** | Connect to a running sandbox for live debugging |
|
|
| **Network controls** | Restrict agent egress with block-all or CIDR-based allow lists |
|
|
| **MCP sandbox transport** | Run [MCP servers](/agents/mcp#sandbox) inside the sandbox — e.g., Playwright for browser automation |
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
- A `DAYTONA_API_KEY` environment variable (get one from [app.daytona.io](https://app.daytona.io))
|
|
- A [GitHub App](/integrations/github) configured via the web UI (required for private repository cloning and checkpoint pushing)
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
Set the sandbox provider in your run config TOML or via CLI flag:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
fabro run workflow.fabro --sandbox daytona
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```toml title="run.toml"
|
|
[sandbox]
|
|
provider = "daytona"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
A full configuration example with all Daytona-specific options:
|
|
|
|
```toml title="run.toml"
|
|
[sandbox]
|
|
provider = "daytona"
|
|
preserve = false
|
|
|
|
[sandbox.daytona]
|
|
auto_stop_interval = 60
|
|
|
|
[sandbox.daytona.labels]
|
|
project = "fabro"
|
|
env = "staging"
|
|
team = "platform"
|
|
|
|
[sandbox.daytona.snapshot]
|
|
name = "rust-dev"
|
|
cpu = 4
|
|
memory = 8
|
|
disk = 20
|
|
dockerfile = "FROM rust:1.85-slim-bookworm\nRUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y git ripgrep"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
See [Server Configuration](/administration/server-configuration) for the full reference on all sandbox fields and server defaults.
|
|
|
|
### Network access control
|
|
|
|
Control outbound network access with the `network` field. Three modes are available:
|
|
|
|
```toml title="run.toml"
|
|
# Full access (default)
|
|
[sandbox.daytona]
|
|
network = "allow_all"
|
|
|
|
# Block all egress
|
|
[sandbox.daytona]
|
|
network = "block"
|
|
|
|
# CIDR-based allow list
|
|
[sandbox.daytona]
|
|
network = { allow_list = ["208.80.154.232/32", "10.0.0.0/8"] }
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Use `"block"` or a CIDR allow list when running untrusted or generated code to prevent agents from making arbitrary network requests.
|
|
|
|
## Snapshots
|
|
|
|
Snapshots let you pre-build an environment image so each run starts with dependencies already installed rather than installing them in setup commands every time.
|
|
|
|
```toml title="run.toml"
|
|
[sandbox.daytona.snapshot]
|
|
name = "my-snapshot"
|
|
cpu = 4
|
|
memory = 8
|
|
disk = 20
|
|
dockerfile = "FROM node:20-slim\nRUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y git"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
When a run starts with a snapshot configured, Fabro looks up the snapshot by name. If it doesn't exist and a `dockerfile` is provided, Fabro creates it automatically and polls until it reaches `Active` state (up to 10 minutes). If the snapshot already exists, it's reused immediately.
|
|
|
|
<Note>
|
|
If a snapshot is configured by name but doesn't exist and no `dockerfile` is provided, the run fails immediately. If no snapshot is configured at all, sandboxes are created from the `daytona-medium` snapshot which includes standard dev tools (git, etc.).
|
|
</Note>
|
|
|
|
## Private repositories
|
|
|
|
Fabro automatically clones the current repository into the sandbox at `/home/daytona/workspace`. Public repositories work without extra configuration. Private repositories require a [GitHub App](/integrations/github) — Fabro uses short-lived Installation Access Tokens scoped to the specific repository.
|
|
|
|
If the clone fails without a GitHub App configured, Fabro suggests running the setup flow:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Git clone failed: ... If this is a private repository,
|
|
configure a GitHub App with `fabro install` and install it
|
|
for your organization.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## SSH access
|
|
|
|
Connect to a running Daytona sandbox via SSH for live debugging:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
fabro run workflow.fabro --sandbox daytona --ssh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This creates temporary SSH credentials (valid for 60 minutes) and prints the connection command:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
SSH access ready: ssh daytona@fabro-20260307-143022-a3f2.ssh.daytona.io
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
<Note>
|
|
SSH credentials cannot be refreshed during a run. To keep the sandbox alive after the run completes, combine `--ssh` with `--preserve-sandbox`.
|
|
</Note>
|
|
|
|
## Sandbox lifecycle
|
|
|
|
Each sandbox gets a unique timestamped name (e.g. `fabro-20260307-143022-a3f2`) and is created as ephemeral. By default, sandboxes are destroyed when the run finishes.
|
|
|
|
### Preservation
|
|
|
|
To keep a sandbox alive for debugging:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
fabro run workflow.fabro --sandbox daytona --preserve-sandbox
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or in the run config:
|
|
|
|
```toml title="run.toml"
|
|
[sandbox]
|
|
provider = "daytona"
|
|
preserve = true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
When preserved, Fabro prints the sandbox name so you can find it in the [Daytona dashboard](https://app.daytona.io/dashboard/sandboxes).
|
|
|
|
### Auto-stop
|
|
|
|
The `auto_stop_interval` setting tells Daytona to stop the sandbox after a period of inactivity, saving costs for preserved or long-running sandboxes:
|
|
|
|
```toml title="run.toml"
|
|
[sandbox.daytona]
|
|
auto_stop_interval = 30
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Server defaults
|
|
|
|
When running via `fabro serve`, the server config at `~/.fabro/server.toml` can set default Daytona settings for all runs. Run config TOML values override server defaults. Labels are **merged** — run config labels win on key collisions. The `network` setting uses simple override (run config replaces the server default entirely).
|
|
|
|
See [Server Configuration](/administration/server-configuration) for details.
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
### "Failed to create Daytona sandbox"
|
|
|
|
The `DAYTONA_API_KEY` environment variable is missing or invalid. Verify it's set in your `.env` file and check that it's a valid key from [app.daytona.io](https://app.daytona.io).
|
|
|
|
### "Snapshot does not exist and no dockerfile provided"
|
|
|
|
The run config references a snapshot name that doesn't exist on Daytona, and no `dockerfile` is provided to create it. Either create the snapshot manually in the Daytona dashboard or add a `dockerfile` field to `[sandbox.daytona.snapshot]`.
|
|
|
|
### "Timed out waiting for snapshot to become active"
|
|
|
|
Snapshot creation took longer than 10 minutes. This can happen with large Dockerfiles. Check the snapshot status in the Daytona dashboard — it may still be building. Subsequent runs will reuse the snapshot once it's active.
|
|
|
|
### Git clone fails for private repositories
|
|
|
|
See [Private repositories](#private-repositories) above. You need a GitHub App configured and installed on the repository's organization or account.
|
|
|
|
### Stall watchdog kills the run
|
|
|
|
Long-running commands in Daytona sandboxes may trigger the 1800-second stall watchdog if they don't produce events. For workflows with long-running operations, increase the `stall_timeout` in the workflow graph:
|
|
|
|
```dot
|
|
digraph Example {
|
|
graph [stall_timeout="1200"]
|
|
}
|
|
```
