SSH into running Vercel Sandboxes with the CLI
By Steven Van ·
The Vercel Sandbox CLI adds an SSH-like connect command that auto-extends a running Sandbox's timeout for up to 5 hours.
The Vercel Sandbox CLI can now open interactive shell sessions to a running Sandbox. Running sandbox ssh sandbox-id (or sandbox connect) connects directly to the instance from the terminal.
While connected, the Sandbox's timeout is automatically extended in 5-minute increments to avoid unexpected disconnections, up to a maximum of 5 hours. Details are in the Sandbox CLI docs.
