Troubleshooting Blueprint Builds

Securely connect to a remote Runloop Devbox using SSH for debugging

Debugging Agent Output with SSH

List Blueprints.

Starts build of custom defined container Blueprint. The Blueprint will begin in the 'provisioning' step and transition to the 'building' step once it is selected off the build queue., Upon build complete it will transition to 'building_complete' if the build is successful.

Create and build a Blueprint.

Get the details of a previously created Blueprint including the build status.

Get a Blueprint.

Get all logs from the building of a Blueprint.

Get Blueprint build logs.

Preview building a Blueprint with the specified configuration. You can take the resulting Dockerfile and test out your build using any local docker tooling.

Preview Dockerfile definition for a Blueprint.

List all Devboxes while optionally filtering by status.

List Devboxes.

Create a Devbox and begin the boot process. The Devbox will initially launch in the 'provisioning' state while Runloop allocates the necessary infrastructure. It will transition to the 'initializing' state while the booted Devbox runs any Runloop or user defined set up scripts. Finally, the Devbox will transition to the 'running' state when it is ready for use.

Create a Devbox.

Get the latest details and status of a Devbox.

Get Devbox details.

Suspend a running Devbox and create a disk snapshot to enable resuming the Devbox later with the same disk. Note this will not snapshot memory state such as running processes.

Suspend a running Devbox

Resume a suspended Devbox with the disk state captured as suspend time. Note that any previously running processes or daemons will need to be restarted using the Devbox shell tools.

Resume a suspended Devbox

Shutdown a running Devbox. This will permanently stop the Devbox. If you want to save the state of the Devbox, you should take a snapshot before shutting down or should suspend the Devbox instead of shutting down.

Shutdown a running Devbox.

Send a 'Keep Alive' signal to a running Devbox that is configured to shutdown on idle so the idle time resets.

Reset the idle timer of a running Devbox.

Write UTF-8 string contents to a file at path on the Devbox. Note for large files (larger than 100MB), the upload_file endpoint must be used.

Write text file contents to Devbox filesystem.

Upload file contents of any type (binary, text, etc) to a Devbox. Note this API is suitable for large files (larger than 100MB) and efficiently uploads files via multipart form data.

Upload binary file contents to Devbox filesystem.

Download file contents of any type (binary, text, etc) from a specified path on the Devbox.

Download binary file contents from Devbox filesystem.

Execute a bash command in the Devbox shell, await the command completion and return the output.

Synchronously execute a shell command on a Devbox

Execute the given command in the Devbox shell asynchronously and returns the execution that can be used to track the command's progress.

Asynchronously execute a command via the Devbox shell

Get the latest status of a previously launched asynchronous execuction including stdout/error and the exit code if complete.

Get status of an asynchronous execution on a Devbox.

Create a live tunnel to an available port on the Devbox. Note the port must be made available using Devbox.create.availablePorts. Otherwise, the tunnel will not connect to any running processes on the Devbox.

Get Devbox logs.

Tail the logs for the given devbox. This will return past log entries and continue streaming from there. The stream will then continue to stream logs until the connection is closed.
