Vercel Sandbox adds support for running Docker containers
Key point
Vercel Sandbox now supports running Docker containers, enabling testing and app previews.
Details
Vercel Sandbox now supports the ability to install and run Docker inside the sandbox. This allows agents to build containers, install system packages, and modify files without affecting the host system.
Key use cases include:
- Running containerized services like Redis or Postgres as test dependencies
- Validating container images before deployment
- Previewing applications running inside containers
When combined with persistent sandboxes, the Docker installation and downloaded images persist across sessions. Support for the FUSE filesystem driver and VPN clients has also been added, further expanding the range of use cases.
