bunny login --api-key "$BUNNYNET_API_KEY"The browser flow needs a browser you can actually see, which rules out SSH sessions, CI jobs, containers, and Unix hosts with no display server. bunny login checks for those before it opens anything.
With a terminal, it warns which case it hit, then offers to take an API key at a masked prompt (create one in the dashboard under Account Settings > API) or to print the login URL together with the ssh -L forward that makes the callback reachable. Without one, as with an agent or a CI job, it exits with a hint instead of waiting on a callback nothing can answer.
So for unattended runs, pass the key:
bunny login --api-key "$BUNNYNET_API_KEY"Add --output json to get { "authenticated": true, "profile": "...", "name": "..." } on stdout instead of the greeting.
The CLI checks the key against the API before writing the profile, so a bad one fails here rather than on the next command. You can also skip bunny login entirely and export BUNNYNET_API_KEY; it takes priority over any stored profile.
Remove a stored authentication profile.

Most db commands accept an optional <database-id> positional argument. When omitted, the CLI resolves the target in this order:
- Explicit
<database-id>argument .bunny/database.jsonmanifest written bybunny db linkBUNNY_DATABASE_URLin a.envfile (walked up from the current directory) matched against your database list- Interactive selection prompt
For db shell, the CLI also reads BUNNY_DATABASE_AUTH_TOKEN from .env to skip token generation. db quickstart prints both variables ready to paste; db create --token --save-env writes them for you.
Create a new database. Interactively prompts for name and region selection (automatic, single region, or manual) when flags are omitted. After creation, prompts to link the directory, generate an auth token, and save credentials to .env.
# Interactive — prompts for name and region mode
bunny db create
# Single region
bunny db create --name mydb --primary FR
# Multi-region with replicas
bunny db create --name mydb --primary FR,DE --replicas UK,NY
# Fully non-interactive (CI / scripts)
bunny db create --name mydb --primary FR --link --token --save-env --output json| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
--name |

--primary |
Comma-separated primary region IDs (e.g. FR or FR,DE) |
--replicas |
Comma-separated replica region IDs (e.g. UK,NY) |

--save-env |
Save BUNNY_DATABASE_URL and BUNNY_DATABASE_AUTH_TOKEN to .env. Requires --token. |
In --output json mode, prompts are suppressed entirely — flags are the only way to opt in to linking, token creation, and .env writes. The JSON output gains linked, token, and saved_to_env fields reflecting what happened.

Create an empty, numbered migration file. The filename is the migration's identity, so the numeric prefix decides the order apply runs them in.
# Creates migrations/0001_add_users_table.sql
bunny db migrations create add_users_table
# Names are slugified, so quoting works
bunny db migrations create "add users table"
# Custom directory
bunny db migrations create add_index --dir db/migrations| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
--dir |
Migrations directory (default: migrations) |
Aliased as bunny db migrations new. Creation never auto-detects an ORM output directory: writing a hand-authored file there would bypass the ORM's own journal.
The new file holds only a comment, so add SQL before applying it; apply rejects a migration with no statements.
Show which migrations have been applied. Read-only: it never creates the tracking table.
bunny db migrations list
bunny db migrations list <database-id>
bunny db migrations list --output json| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
--dir |
Migrations directory (default: migrations) |
--pattern |
Migration glob relative to --dir (default *.sql) |
--url |
Database URL (skips API lookup) |
--token |
Auth token (skips token generation) |
Aliased as ls and status. Each migration is reported in one of five states:
| State | Meaning |
|---|---|
Applied |
On disk and recorded, checksums match |
Pending |
On disk, not yet applied |
Modified |
Recorded, but the file changed since it was applied |
Missing |
Recorded, but the file is no longer on disk |
Out of order |
Pending, but sorts before an already-applied migration |
Apply every pending migration, in filename order. Each file runs as one atomic batch together with its tracking row, so a migration either lands and is recorded or neither happens. Foreign keys are deferred for the batch, so table rebuilds work. The run stops at the first failure and leaves the remaining migrations pending.
# Apply all pending migrations
bunny db migrations apply
# Show what would run, without writing
bunny db migrations apply --dry-run
# Apply drizzle-kit output
bunny db migrations apply --dir drizzle
# Nested ORM layouts
bunny db migrations apply --dir drizzle --pattern "*/migration.sql"| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
--dir |
Migrations directory (default: migrations) |
--pattern |
Migration glob relative to --dir (default *.sql) |
--url |
Database URL (skips API lookup) |
--token |
Auth token (skips token generation) |
--dry-run |
List the migrations that would run, without applying them |
-f, --force |
Skip confirmation prompts |
--allow-drift |
Apply despite modified, missing, or out-of-order history |
--dry-run and a declined confirmation leave the database untouched, including the tracking table. When the history has drifted, apply refuses and applies nothing unless --allow-drift is passed. The confirmation prompt is skipped automatically when stdin is not an interactive terminal, so CI runs don't hang.
Applied migrations are recorded in a __bunny_migrations table. The __ prefix keeps it out of studio and REST introspection.
When migrations/ doesn't exist and no --dir is given, drizzle/ is used if present, so drizzle-kit generate output works without configuration.
Every migration file is parsed before the first database write, so a malformed later file cannot leave a run half-complete.
Generate an auth token for a database. The database ID can be provided as a positional argument or auto-detected from BUNNY_DATABASE_URL in a .env file.
# Provide database ID explicitly
bunny db tokens create <database-id>
# Auto-detect from .env BUNNY_DATABASE_URL
bunny db tokens create
# Read-only token
bunny db tokens create --read-only
# Token with expiry (duration shorthand or RFC 3339)
bunny db tokens create --expiry 30d
bunny db tokens create --expiry 2026-12-31T23:59:59Z| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
--read-only |
Generate a read-only token (default: full access) |
-e, --expiry |
Token expiry — duration (30d, 12h, 1w, 1m, 1y) or RFC 3339 date |
Invalidate all auth tokens for a database. Prompts for confirmation unless --force is passed.
bunny db tokens invalidate <database-id>

Push and inspect images on the bunny.net OCI registry. The endpoint defaults to registry.bunny.net; set the BUNNYNET_REGISTRY_URL environment variable to override it.
bunny registry push myapp:latest # push, deriving repository/tag from the image
bunny registry push myapp:dev --repository myapp --tag v1
bunny registry list # list repositories (alias: ls)
bunny registry tags myapp # list tags for a repositorypush currently uses Docker to read the local image; list and tags talk to the registry directly. On the registry itself repositories are namespaced by your account id (<account-id>/myapp); the CLI adds and hides that prefix automatically, so you always work with the bare repository name.
Manage DNS through two resource groups: bunny dns record (the entries within a zone) and bunny dns zone (the zone itself — settings, DNSSEC, logging, stats, nameservers). The [domain] argument accepts either the zone's domain name or its numeric zone ID, and is optional everywhere — omit it and you'll be prompted to pick a zone. record update/record remove likewise prompt you to pick a record when the ID is omitted. record aliases to records/rec; zone aliases to zones (and domain/domains).

PullZone and Script records take no positional value — pass --pull-zone <id> or --script <id> instead. Omit the record type (or all arguments) to run an interactive wizard that prompts for the zone, type, and per-type values.

Manage Edge Storage through two resource groups: bunny storage zones (the zone itself: create, list, inspect, update, delete; alias zone, plus hidden bucket/buckets) and bunny storage files (the files within a zone; alias file). Zone management uses the account API key; file operations use the zone's own password and a region-specific host, both resolved automatically from the zone. zones commands take the zone as an optional [zone] positional; files commands take it as the --zone/-z flag (their positional is the file path). Either accepts the zone name or its numeric ID. When the zone is omitted it resolves from the directory's linked zone (bunny storage link, stored in .bunny/storage.json), then an interactive picker, which offers to link the directory to the picked zone (except on destructive commands). Non-interactive runs (--output json, no TTY, or --force) error instead of prompting; pass a zone or link the directory.
A storage zone only holds files; a pull zone is what serves them on the web. zones add offers to create one (origin set to the new storage zone) and then to add a custom domain, or pass --pull-zone/--domain to do it non-interactively. Custom domains live on the pull zone and are managed with bunny storage zones domains.
The tier (--tier hdd|ssd, Standard or Edge), the main region, and S3 compatibility (--s3) are all fixed at creation, so zones add prompts for each of them when the flag is omitted. Edge (SSD) zones are always primaried in DE, so --tier ssd rejects any other --region rather than letting the API rewrite it silently; replication regions are unaffected. zones list reports the tier and S3 support per zone, and zones show reports both plus the S3 endpoint when it's enabled.
After creating a zone, add offers to link the directory to it (--link/--no-link), to print connection details (--connection http|ftp|s3, optionally as a client config with --format), and to save those details to .env (--save-env). Credentials are shown in full there because they were explicitly asked for; zones credentials masks them by default.

# Open the storage documentation
bunny storage docsA trailing slash on a files path denotes a directory: files list images/ lists that directory, and files remove images/ deletes it and its contents recursively. Edge Storage file operations are powered by the @bunny.net/storage-sdk.
bunny.net's S3-compatible API is in preview and is opt-in per zone at creation (zones add --s3); it cannot be enabled on an existing zone. When a zone has it, bunny storage zones show surfaces its S3 endpoint, and bunny storage zones credentials --connection s3 emits the endpoint, region, access key (the zone name), and secret (the zone password) as a table, as JSON (--output json), or as ready-to-use config for rclone, the AWS CLI, s3cmd, or your shell (--format). The table and JSON output mask the secret by default; pass --show-secret to reveal it (the S3 tool formats always emit it in full, since they're meant to be consumed by tools, and under --output json the config rides along in a config field). The access key and secret are the zone's existing name and password, so there's nothing new to rotate beyond the zone's own credentials.
The same command also serves the two protocols every zone has: --connection http (the base URL and AccessKey header, plus a --format sdk snippet for @bunny.net/storage-sdk) and --connection ftp (host, username, password). --format implies its protocol, so a conflicting --connection is an error. --save-env writes the protocol's variables (BUNNY_STORAGE_ZONE, BUNNY_STORAGE_PASSWORD, BUNNY_STORAGE_REGION, or the AWS_* quad for S3) into whichever .env already holds one of them.
| Flag | Commands | Description |

# Use a custom template repo (GitHub owner/repo shorthand)
bunny scripts init --repo owner/my-template
# Use a custom template repo (full git URL)
bunny scripts init --template-repo https://github.com/owner/my-template| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
--name |
Project directory name |
--type |
Script type: standalone or middleware |
--template |
Template name |
--template-repo, --repo |
Git repository URL or GitHub owner/repo shorthand to use as template |
--github-actions |
Keep the template's GitHub Actions workflow (use --no-github-actions to remove it) |
--deploy |
Create script on bunny.net after scaffolding |
--skip-git |
Skip git initialization |
--skip-install |
Skip dependency installation |
When --repo / --template-repo is given without --type, the script type defaults to standalone.
After creating the script on bunny.net, the interactive wizard also asks for an optional custom domain — the same DNS + HTTPS flow as bunny scripts create and bunny scripts domains add, including the offer to wire up the DNS record for you (after confirmation) when the domain is on Bunny DNS.
With --github-actions, git is initialized automatically, the template's .github/ workflow is kept, and after creating the script you'll be shown the SCRIPT_ID to add as a GitHub repo secret. With --no-github-actions, the .github/ directory is removed and git init is prompted (or skipped via --skip-git).
The .changeset/ directory is always removed from the template — bunny scripts don't use it.
Create a new Edge Script on bunny.net (without scaffolding a project). Use this when you have an existing project — for example, you ran bunny scripts init without --deploy — and need a remote script before running bunny scripts deploy.

# Create and attach a custom domain
bunny scripts create my-script --domain shop.example.com| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
--type |
Script type: standalone or middleware (defaults to manifest, prompts if interactive) |
--pull-zone |
Create a linked pull zone (default: true). Use --no-pull-zone to skip. |
--pull-zone-name |
Name for the linked pull zone |
--link |
Link this directory to the new script (default: true). Use --no-link to skip. |
--domain |
Add a custom domain to the new script's pull zone (prompted when interactive) |
When run interactively, create also asks for an optional custom domain. If that domain is already in one of your Bunny DNS zones, it offers to add (or repoint) the DNS record for you — declining, or any record it would overwrite, always prompts first, and nothing is changed without confirmation. With the record in place, DNS is live on bunny's resolvers immediately, so it skips straight to issuing the free SSL certificate. Otherwise it prints the CNAME record to create and offers to wait while DNS propagates, issuing the certificate automatically once the domain points at bunny.net — the same flow as bunny scripts domains add --wait.
Deploy code to an Edge Script. Uploads code and publishes by default.
# Deploy and publish
bunny scripts deploy dist/index.js
# Deploy without publishing
bunny scripts deploy dist/index.js --skip-publish
# Deploy to a specific script
bunny scripts deploy dist/index.js 12345| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
--skip-publish |
Upload code without publishing |
After publishing, the live URL and any custom domains are printed.
Note:
bunny scripts deployworks regardless of how the script was created or whether GitHub Actions is configured. The last deployment always wins — whether triggered by a GitHub Action or a manual CLI deploy.
Link the current directory to a remote Edge Script. Creates a .bunny/script.json manifest file.
# Interactive — select from list
bunny scripts link
# Non-interactive
bunny scripts link --id <script-id>List all Edge Scripts.
bunny scripts list
bunny scripts ls
bunny scripts list --output jsonShow details for an Edge Script. Uses the linked script from .bunny/script.json if no ID is provided. Output includes the script's hostnames (system and custom) with their SSL status.
bunny scripts show <script-id>
bunny scripts showShow usage statistics for an Edge Script — request, CPU, and cost totals over the period, plus a per-bucket requests-served bar chart in text mode (buckets are labelled with friendly UTC dates, e.g. May 19, 2026, or date + time with --hourly). Defaults to the last 30 days.
When no ID is given, the command resolves the linked script from .bunny/script.json. If there is no link either, it prompts you to pick a script and offers to link the directory for next time. In --output json mode the picker is skipped and the command errors instead — pass an ID or run bunny scripts link in CI.

bunny scripts stats 12345 --from 2026-05-01 --to 2026-05-31
bunny scripts stats 12345 --hourly
bunny scripts stats 12345 --output json
# Pick interactively without being asked to link (e.g. one-off checks)
bunny scripts stats --no-link| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
--from |
Start date (YYYY-MM-DD); defaults to 30 days ago |
--to |
End date (YYYY-MM-DD); defaults to today |
--hourly |
Group statistics by hour instead of by day |
--link |
After an interactive pick, link the directory (use --no-link to skip the prompt) |
Delete an Edge Script. Uses the linked script if no ID is provided. Requires double confirmation (or --force to skip).
bunny scripts delete <script-id>
bunny scripts delete
bunny scripts delete <script-id> --force| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
--force |
Skip confirmation prompts |
Manage Edge Script deployments.
List deployments for an Edge Script. Uses the linked script if no ID is provided.
bunny scripts deployments list
bunny scripts deployments ls
bunny scripts deployments list <script-id>
bunny scripts deployments list --output jsonPublish (roll back to) a past deployment by its release ID, as shown in deployments list. bunny scripts deploy already uploads and publishes in one step; use this to re-publish an earlier release without touching the current code. Uses the linked script if no ID is provided.
bunny scripts deployments publish <release-id>
bunny scripts deployments publish <release-id> <script-id>
bunny scripts deployments publish <release-id> --force| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
--force |

Manage environment variables and secrets for an Edge Script. All subcommands default to the linked script; pass --id <script-id> to target another.
List environment variables and secrets.
bunny scripts env list
bunny scripts env ls
bunny scripts env list --output jsonSet an environment variable or secret. Runs interactively when arguments are omitted. The variable name is uppercased.
bunny scripts env set MY_VAR value
bunny scripts env set # interactive
bunny scripts env set API_KEY secret-value --secret| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
--secret |
Store as an encrypted secret |
--id |
Edge Script ID (uses linked if omitted) |
Remove an environment variable or secret. Shows an interactive picker when no name is given; prompts for confirmation unless --force.
bunny scripts env remove MY_VAR
bunny scripts env rm MY_VAR -fPull environment variables to a local .env file.
bunny scripts env pull
bunny scripts env pull <script-id>
bunny scripts env pull --force| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
--force |
Overwrite an existing .env without prompting |
Manage custom domains for an Edge Script. A script's domains live on its linked pull zone, so these commands operate on that pull zone. All subcommands default to the linked script; pass a trailing [id] positional (or the equivalent --id <script-id> flag) to target another, and --pull-zone <id> when a script has more than one linked pull zone. (bunny scripts hostnames is kept as a hidden alias.)
Add a custom domain. SSL is not requested by default — a free certificate can only be issued once your DNS points at bunny.net, so the command prints the CNAME record to create. When run interactively it then offers to wait while DNS propagates (checking every few seconds, up to 10 minutes) and issues the certificate automatically once the domain is live; pass --wait to do that without the prompt, or --ssl to issue a certificate immediately. HTTP is redirected to HTTPS by default (opt out with --no-force-ssl).
# Add a domain, get DNS instructions, and optionally wait for DNS + HTTPS
bunny scripts domains add shop.example.com
# Add, wait for DNS to propagate, then enable HTTPS — no prompts
bunny scripts domains add shop.example.com --wait
# Add and request SSL now (DNS must already be pointed at bunny.net) — HTTPS forced
bunny scripts domains add shop.example.com --ssl
# Add and request SSL without forcing HTTPS
bunny scripts domains add shop.example.com --ssl --no-force-ssl
# Target a script other than the linked one
bunny scripts domains add shop.example.com 12345| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
--ssl |
Issue a free SSL certificate now and force HTTPS (requires DNS pointed) |
--wait |
Wait for DNS to point at bunny.net (up to 10 minutes), then issue SSL |
--no-force-ssl |
When issuing SSL, keep serving HTTP instead of redirecting to HTTPS |
[id] / --id |
Edge Script ID (uses linked script if omitted) |
--pull-zone |
Pull zone ID (required if the script has multiple linked zones) |
Request a free SSL certificate for a custom domain. Run this after the domain's DNS points at bunny.net (see the CNAME printed by domains add). HTTP is redirected to HTTPS by default; pass --no-force-ssl to keep plain HTTP.
bunny scripts domains ssl shop.example.com
bunny scripts domains ssl shop.example.com --no-force-sslList the domains on a script's pull zone, with SSL and Force SSL status.

Host static sites on bunny.net. Each site is two resources provisioned and wired together for you: a storage zone holding the files and a pull zone serving them over the CDN, with edge rules that route requests to the deploy that should answer them. Zones are named sites-<name>-<suffix> (the prefix groups them in the dashboard; the suffix is because zone names are global across bunny.net) while commands take the clean site name.
Deploys are immutable: every sites deploy uploads to its own deploys/<id>/ directory and then goes live. Publishing retargets the pull zone's rewrite rule and purges the cache, so going live and rolling back to any earlier deploy are instant and move no files. HTML is served with max-age=0 so browsers pick up new deploys immediately, while static assets get a one-day browser cache. Deploy IDs are the git short SHA when the working tree is clean and a content hash otherwise, which makes redeploying identical content a no-op.
Commands take the site as an optional positional ([site]), except deploy, ci init, and deployments publish, which use --site. Either accepts the site name or its storage zone ID. When omitted, the site resolves from the directory's linked site (.bunny/site.json, written by sites link or by create/deploy), then sites.name in bunny.jsonc, then an interactive picker that offers to link. Non-interactive runs (--output json, no TTY, or --force on a destructive command) error instead of prompting.

bunny sites delete my-site --keep-storage # typed-name confirmation; keeps the deploy filesPreconfigure the sites block in bunny.jsonc (name, build, dir) and a deploy needs no arguments: bunny sites deploy --build. sites ci init reads the same block, so the generated workflow builds and deploys exactly what the local command does; without it, the framework is detected from package.json deps, Gemfile, or a hugo/python/zola config file, with the lockfile picking the package manager. sites create offers to scaffold the workflow on GitHub repos.
Every deploy publishes: the files land in an immutable deploys/<id>/ directory and the rewrite rule is pointed at it, so deployments publish rolls back to any earlier deploy by moving that pointer, with no files moving and nothing re-uploaded. The ID is the git short-sha when the tree is clean, a content hash otherwise, or whatever --deploy-id supplies (letters, digits, -, _, .; 4-64 chars; case-sensitive): a custom ID never aliases onto another deploy's content, and reusing one for different content asks before replacing (--force skips the prompt); a replacement clears the old files first, so nothing stale survives. The live deploy and the rollback target are never replaced in place; deploy those under a new ID. Content is root-served, so client-side routing and absolute asset paths work as-is. Direct /deploys/<id>/ URLs are blocked at the edge. Site state lives at _bunny/site.json inside the storage zone (also blocked at the edge); .bunny/site.json is only a local pointer, so a fresh clone can sites link and pick up where the last machine left off.

Manage on-demand cloud sandbox environments backed by Bunny Magic Containers. Each sandbox is a fully isolated Ubuntu container with Node.js, Bun, Python (plus uv), the bunny CLI, and Claude Code pre-installed, alongside the tooling agents reach for: git, gh, ripgrep, fd, jq, tmux, sqlite3, tree, and fzf. A 10 GB persistent volume is mounted at /workplace, your default working directory.
/workplace/bin is included in the PATH, so anything you put there runs by name after a redeploy without an absolute path.
Claude Code is pre-installed but needs your own Anthropic credentials before it can do anything: pass an API key at create time (prefer --env-file .env so the key stays out of your shell history), or run claude inside the sandbox and complete the login prompt it prints. Both survive restarts and redeploys: baked env vars live on the container, and config and credentials are pinned to the persistent volume — /workplace/.claude for Claude Code, and /workplace/.config for the bunny CLI and gh.
Sandbox credentials (app ID, SSH endpoint, agent token) are stored in the CLI's local config file (~/.config/bunnynet.json by default) so you can reconnect without re-creating.
Create and start a new sandbox. Waits for the container's SSH port to become reachable before returning.
# Create a sandbox with the default name "sandbox"

AMS |
|
--env |
-e |
Environment variable as KEY=VALUE (repeatable) |
|
--env-file |
Load environment variables from a dotenv file |
Variables set at creation are baked into the container and persist across restarts. Values from --env override those loaded from --env-file. To change them later, use bunny sandbox env.
Once ready, the output shows the app ID and SSH address. Public URLs come later via bunny sandbox url add.
List all sandboxes saved in your local config.

Run a shell command inside a sandbox over SSH. Defaults to /workplace as the working directory.
# Run a command
bunny sandbox exec my-sandbox ls -la
# Run in a different directory
bunny sandbox exec my-sandbox --cwd /tmp env
# Pipe-friendly: exit code is propagated
bunny sandbox exec my-sandbox -- cat /etc/os-release
# Inject temporary environment variables for this command only
bunny sandbox exec my-sandbox --env DEBUG=1 -- node app.js
bunny sandbox exec my-sandbox --env-file .env -- printenv
# Give up after 30 seconds (exit code 124)
bunny sandbox exec my-sandbox --timeout 30 -- bun run build| Flag | Alias | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
--cwd |
Working directory inside the sandbox | /workplace |
|
--env |
Environment variable as KEY=VALUE (repeatable) |
||
--env-file |
Load environment variables from a dotenv file | ||
--timeout |
Close the SSH connection and exit 124 after this many seconds |
Variables passed here apply only to that single command and are not persisted. For persistent variables, use bunny sandbox env.
Manage files inside a sandbox over SFTP. A bare sandbox name targets /workplace; use <sandbox>:<path> for a specific directory (relative paths resolve against /workplace).
# List /workplace
bunny sandbox files list my-sandbox
bunny sandbox files ls my-sandbox # alias
# List a specific directory
bunny sandbox files list my-sandbox:/workplace/src
bunny sandbox files list my-sandbox:src
# Machine-readable listing (name, type, size, mode)
bunny sandbox files list my-sandbox --output jsonColumns: Name, Type (file/directory/symlink/other), Size, Mode (octal permissions).
Copy a single file between your machine and a sandbox with cp. Exactly one of the two paths must reference a sandbox as <sandbox>:<path>; the other is a local path.
# Upload a file into the sandbox
bunny sandbox files cp ./app.js my-sandbox:/workplace/app.js
# Upload relative to /workplace
bunny sandbox files cp ./app.js my-sandbox:app.js
# An existing remote directory (or a trailing slash) keeps the source filename
bunny sandbox files cp ./app.js my-sandbox:/workplace/src
# Download a file from the sandbox
bunny sandbox files cp my-sandbox:/workplace/out.log ./out.log
# Download into an existing directory (keeps the source filename)
bunny sandbox files cp my-sandbox:/workplace/out.log ./logs/Uploads preserve the local file's Unix mode, so executables stay executable. Only single files are supported: directory and sandbox-to-sandbox copies are not.
cp used to live at bunny sandbox cp. That path now errors with the equivalent bunny sandbox files cp command to run instead.
Open a full interactive SSH session. Drops you into a bash shell at /workplace. Type exit or press Ctrl-D to close.
bunny sandbox ssh my-sandbox
# Set temporary environment variables for the session
bunny sandbox ssh my-sandbox -e DEBUG=1 --env-file .env| Flag | Alias | Description | Default |

Environment variable as KEY=VALUE (repeatable) |
|
--env-file |
Load environment variables from a dotenv file |
Variables apply only to the session and are not persisted.
Manage public CDN endpoints for ports running inside a sandbox. Useful for exposing a dev server or API to the internet.
Expose a container port as a public HTTPS endpoint. Waits until the URL is provisioned and prints it.
# Expose port 3000 (endpoint named "port-3000")
bunny sandbox url add my-sandbox 3000
# Custom endpoint name
bunny sandbox url add my-sandbox 8080 --label my-api| Flag | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
--label |

Skip confirmation prompt | false |
Manage a sandbox's persistent environment variables, the ones baked into the container. Unlike the temporary --env passed to exec/ssh, these survive across sessions. Changing them redeploys the sandbox with the new environment (running processes restart).
Set one or more persistent variables, merging with the existing set.
# Set a single variable
bunny sandbox env set my-sandbox NODE_ENV=production
# Set several at once
bunny sandbox env set my-sandbox API_URL=https://api.example.com LOG_LEVEL=debug
# Load from a dotenv file
bunny sandbox env set my-sandbox --env-file .env| Flag | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
--env-file |

List the sandbox's persistent variables. The internal AGENT_TOKEN is hidden.
bunny sandbox env list my-sandbox
bunny sandbox env ls my-sandbox # aliasColumns: Name, Value.
Remove one or more persistent variables. Names that are not set are reported and skipped; if none match, the command errors and nothing is redeployed.
