description: "Sandbox with Docker installed for running containers"

## Install Docker

Use the official installation script from [get.docker.com](https://get.docker.com). The `hello-world` container validates the installation.

<CodeGroup>
```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript
// template.ts
import { Template } from 'e2b'

export const template = Template()
.fromUbuntuImage('25.04')
.runCmd('curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com | sudo sh')
.runCmd('sudo docker run --rm hello-world')
```

```python Python
# template.py
from e2b import Template

template = (
Template()
.from_ubuntu_image("25.04")
.run_cmd("curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com | sudo sh")
.run_cmd("sudo docker run --rm hello-world")
)
```
</CodeGroup>

## Build the template

<Note>
You may need to increase RAM if Docker containers cause out-of-memory errors.
</Note>

<CodeGroup>
```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript
// build.ts
import { Template, defaultBuildLogger } from 'e2b'
import { template as dockerTemplate } from './template'

Template.build(dockerTemplate, 'docker', {
cpuCount: 2,
memoryMB: 2048,
onBuildLogs: defaultBuildLogger(),
})
```

```python Python
# build.py
from e2b import Template, default_build_logger
from .template import template as dockerTemplate

Template.build(dockerTemplate, 'docker',
cpu_count=2,
memory_mb=2048,
on_build_logs=default_build_logger(),
)
```
</CodeGroup>

## Run containers

Run an Alpine container that prints a hello message.

<CodeGroup>
```typescript JavaScript & TypeScript
// sandbox.ts
import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

const sbx = await Sandbox.create('docker')

const result = await sbx.commands.run('sudo docker run --rm alpine echo "Hello from Alpine!"')
console.log(result.stdout)

await sbx.kill()
```

```python Python
# sandbox.py
from e2b import Sandbox

sbx = Sandbox.create('docker')

result = sbx.commands.run('sudo docker run --rm alpine echo "Hello from Alpine!"')
print(result.stdout)

sbx.kill()
```
</CodeGroup>
