Run Docker containers inside Vercel Sandbox

Vercel Sandbox now supports installing and running Docker inside a sandbox, enabling agents to build containers, install system packages, and modify files without affecting the host system. This feature allows developers to run containerized services like Redis or Postgres as test dependencies, validate container images, and preview applications served from containers. Additionally, sandboxes now support FUSE filesystem drivers and VPN clients, expanding the range of capabilities for building and testing applications.

Vercel Sandbox https://vercel.com/docs/sandbox now supports installing and running Docker inside a sandbox. An agent can build containers, install system packages, and modify files without touching your host system. Install Docker, start the daemon, and serve a containerized application: Docker in a Sandbox is useful for running containerized services like Redis or Postgres as test dependencies, validating container images before deploying, or previewing applications served from a container. Combined with persistent sandboxes https://vercel.com/changelog/sandbox-persistence-is-now-ga , the Docker installation and pulled images carry over between sessions. As well as adding support for Docker, sandboxes now support FUSE filesystem drivers and VPN clients, unlocking unlimited capabilities to what can be built.
