Quick reference

Devbox

Create a devbox and run a single command

rl devbox create --env_vars HELLO=world --entrypoint 'echo $HELLO'
>
create devbox={
    "id": "dbx_2xMDUOsKMiZBYKsvSRtMA",
    "blueprint_id": null,
    "create_time_ms": 1723229557715,
    "end_time_ms": null,
    "initiator_id": null,
    "initiator_type": "invocation",
    "name": null,
    "status": "provisioning"
}

Observe logs

rl devbox logs --id dbx_2xMDUOsKMiZBYKsvSRtMA
>
2024-08-09 12:15:01.701  Initializing devbox...
2024-08-09 12:15:01.734  Devbox setup complete
2024-08-09 12:15:01.769 [entrypoint] -> echo $HELLO
2024-08-09 12:15:01.798 [entrypoint]  world
2024-08-09 12:15:01.798  world
2024-08-09 12:15:01.800 [entrypoint] -> exit_code=0

Check the devbox status

rl devbox get --id dbx_2ws7IOtjxnJgLsBIpU9nn
>   
# Note that the devbox status="shutdown" after the entrypoint completes.
devbox={
    "id": "dbx_2xMDUOsKMiZBYKsvSRtMA",
    "blueprint_id": null,
    "create_time_ms": 1723229557715,
    "end_time_ms": 1723229561620,
    "initiator_id": null,
    "initiator_type": "invocation",
    "name": null,
    "status": "shutdown"
}

Use scp to copy files to/from the devbox

To use the SCP command:
   rl devbox scp local_file.txt :remote_file.txt --id <devbox_id>

To copy a file from the devbox to your local machine:
   rl devbox scp :remote_file.txt local_file.txt --id <devbox_id>

Use rsync to copy files to/from the devbox

To use the rsync command:
   rl devbox rsync local_file.txt :remote_file.txt --id <devbox_id>

To copy a file from the devbox to your local machine:
   rl devbox rsync :remote_file.txt local_file.txt --id <devbox_id>

Note that the rsync implementation will recurse by default and copy directory contents.

To use the rsync command:
   rl devbox rsync local_dir :remote_dir --id <devbox_id>

Use port forwarding to create a tunnel to remote devbox

To use the tunnel command:
   rl devbox tunnel --id <devbox_id> <local_port>:<remote_port>

Note that this is a blocking command that will block for duration of tunnel.
