FAQ
Works locallyWorks in the local build today.
Is this a live service? No. It's a working local build and a specification.
Can I run real VMs? With KVM and the Cloud Hypervisor adapter. Otherwise the labelled simulator runs, and every response says simulated: true.
Does sleep lose my programs? No, that's the point. Open connections may break, and timers inside the VM don't fire.
Is a sleeping sandbox billed? Yes, like a running one, and it still stops at its auto-stop. Stop it to end the bill.
How long is a stopped disk kept? At least 14 days for free, then it moves to paid cold storage. It's never deleted because of idleness alone.
What does it cost? The default size, 4 vCPU and 8 GB, is $0.03564 an hour, billed per second, at the same price on every tier. Plans start at $20 a month, and every plan dollar comes back as machine time. Egress is free. See Pricing.
Is there a free trial? Yes: 7 days with a card, including 25 hours of machine time and 2 sandboxes at once on the small and default sizes. Nothing is charged until day 7. See Free trial.
Can I copy a running sandbox? Yes. harebox fork copies it exactly, memory included, and each copy gets a new identity, IP addresses, host keys and entropy. See Parallel agents.
Where does my data live? In the EU. HareBox launches in France, at Roubaix and Gravelines, and places each sandbox itself. Data, including snapshots, stays in the EU.
