E2B Desktop Sandbox - Deskstop sandbox in cloud powered by E2B

E2B Desktop Sandbox (beta)

E2B Desktop Sandbox is an isolated cloud environment with a desktop-like interface powered by E2B.

Launching E2B Sandbox takes about 300-500ms. You can customize the desktop environment and preinstall any dependencies you want using our custom sandbox templates.

Work in progress This repository is a work in progress. We welcome feedback and contributions. Here's the list of features we're working on:

• JavaScript SDK
• Streaming live desktop
• Tests
• Docstrings

Getting started

The E2B Desktop Sandbox is built on top of E2B Sandbox.

1. Get E2B API key

Sign up at E2B and get your API key. Set environment variable E2B_API_KEY with your API key.

2. Install SDK

Python

pip install e2b-desktop

JavaScript

Coming soon

3. Create Desktop Sandbox

from e2b_desktop import Sandbox

desktop = Sandbox()

Features

Mouse control

from e2b_desktop import Sandbox
desktop = Sandbox()

desktop.double_click()
desktop.left_click()
desktop.right_click()
desktop.middle_click()
desktop.scroll(10) # Scroll by the amount. Positive for up, negative for down.
desktop.mouse_move(100, 200) # Move to x, y coordinates

Locate on screen

from e2b_desktop import Sandbox
desktop = Sandbox()

# Find "Home" text on the screen and return the coordinates
x, y = desktop.locate_on_screen("Home")
# Move the mouse to the coordinates
desktop.mouse_move(x, y)

Keyboard control

from e2b_desktop import Sandbox
desktop = Sandbox()

desktop.write("Hello, world!") # Write text at the current cursor position
desktop.hotkey("ctrl", "c") # Press ctrl+c

Screenshot

from e2b_desktop import Sandbox
desktop = Sandbox()

# Take a screenshot and save it as "screenshot.png" locally
desktop.screenshot("screenshot.png")

Open file

from e2b_desktop import Sandbox
desktop = Sandbox()

# Open file with default application
desktop.files.write("/home/user/index.js", "console.log('hello')") # First create the file
desktop.open("/home/user/index.js") # Then open it

Run any bash commands

from e2b_desktop import Sandbox
desktop = Sandbox()

# Run any bash command
desktop.commands.run("ls -la /home/user")

Run PyAutoGUI commands

from e2b_desktop import Sandbox
desktop = Sandbox()

# Run any PyAutoGUI command
desktop.pyautogui("pyautogui.click()")

Under the hood

You can use PyAutoGUI to control the whole environment programmatically.

The desktop-like environment is based on Linux and Xfce at the moment. We chose Xfce because it's a fast and lightweight environment that's also popular and actively supported. However, this Sandbox template is fully customizable and you can create your own desktop environment. Check out the code here
