e2b CLI

CLI for managing Devbook environments.

An environment is a virtual machine image that you can customize through our CLI. You can add files, install dependencies, and set env vars in the environment. Then with Devbook, every user visiting your website will get a new copy of the environment they can use.

Installation

npm install -g @devbookhq/cli

Then you can use the CLI with

devbook env --help

You will need an API key to use the Devbook CLI — you can get it here after signing up. After you get the API key set the DEVBOOK_KEY env var in your terminal, or call the CLI with the env var directly

DEVBOOK_KEY=<your-api-key> devbook env ...

Quickstart

# Create an environment and a dbk.toml config for the environment
devbook env create

# Create a directory for files you want to be in the environment
mkdir ./files

# Upload files from the ./files directory to the environment
devbook env push

# Connect terminal to the environment so you can install dependencies. 
# You quit this terminal with Ctrl+D or by `exit` command
devbook env connect

# All changes you made to the environment so far are not published —
# users that use this environment on your website cannot see the changes.
# To make all the changes you just made published, call the following command
devbook env publish

Commands

By default, commands are referring to an environment defined by a dbk.toml in a directory where you called the commands.

All commands can be called with a --path <path-to-dir> flag that changes the directory where the command will be called, without the need to call cd.

The Devbook CLI has following commands

devbook env create

Create a new environment and dbk.toml config.

You can specify another environment as a template with --template <existing-environment-id> flag. This existing environment will be a base of the new environment — all files, env vars and dependencies from the existing environment will be present in the new environment.

devbook env push

Upload files from a local directory to an environment. The local directory to upload from is defined by the filesystem.local_root field in the dbk.toml config (./files by default). Path of uploaded files in the environment will reflect their paths in the ./files directory — file ./files/index.ts will become /index.ts in the environment.

Use devbook env publish --all to push all environments in subdirectories.

devbook env publish

Publish changes you made in an environment (uploaded files, installed depedencies, set env vars). Users on your website that use the environment cannot see the new changes you made to the environment until you run devbook env publish command.

Use devbook env publish --all to publish all environments in subdirectories.

devbook env delete

Delete an environment and a dbk.toml config for the environment.

devbook env use

Create a dbk.toml for an existing environment. You can use this to start version tracking environments created through Devbook dashboard.

devbook env set

Set env vars inside of an environment. For example, to set FOO and BAR call devbook env set FOO=1 BAR=2.

You must set all env vars in one devbook env set --env-vars <KEY=VALUE...> call — variables from the previous devbook env set calls will be overwritten.

devbook env connect

Open a terminal connected to an environment that you can use to configure and inspect the environment.

The environments are based on Alpine Linux that uses apk add and apk del for managing packages.

devbook env list

List all environments and paths to their dbk.toml configs (if the configs are in subdirectories of the current directory).

dbk.toml config

The dbk.toml config is used for tracking an environment in version control. It is created automatically by devbook env create command.

The following fields are in each dbk.toml config

id

You should not edit this field manually. The id of this environment.

template

You should not edit this field manually. The id of the environment that was used as a template for this environment.

title

Title of the environment. The title is used for easier navigation and to distinguish between environments.

By default the title is the name of the directory where you called devbook env create command. You can change this field and use devbook env push to save the changes.

filesystem.local_root

A directory containing files that will be uploaded with devbook env push command. By default it is ./files — that means that the ./files directory next to this dbk.toml will be uploaded to the environment when you use devbook env push.

For example, if you have a ./files/index.ts file locally and run devbook env push the file /index.ts will be created and saved in the environment.

FAQ

Inspect how a published environment looks like

Use devbook env connect --published to open a terminal connected to a new instace of the environment.

Delete files from an environment

Use devbook env connect to open a terminal connected to the environment. Then you can delete the files from the environment with rm shell command.

Inspect files in an environment

Use devbook env connect to connect your terminal with the environment then use terminal commands like ls, cd, cat, etc. to inspect files.

Install dependencies in an environment

Use devbook env connect to open a terminal connected to the environment. Then you can install dependencies as you would on any other Linux machine.

The environments are running on Alpine Linux that uses apk add and apk del for managing packages.

Upload local files to an environment

Create ./files directory next to the dbk.toml and put the files you want in the environment there. After you call devbook env push files from the ./files directory will be uploaded to the environment. Their path in the environment will reflect the path in the ./files directory — file ./files/index.ts will become /index.ts in the environment.
