Depot CLI: Compute commands reference | CLI | Depot Docs

`depot sandbox exec`

Execute a command and stream its standard output, standard error, and exit code. Put the command after -- so its flags are not parsed by the Depot CLI.

depot sandbox exec \
  --sandbox-id <sandbox-id> \
  --session-id <session-id> \
  -- /bin/bash -lc 'whoami'

Name	Description
`sandbox-id`	Compute instance ID
`session-id`	Session containing the compute instance
`timeout`	Execution timeout in milliseconds
`org`	Depot organization ID
`token`	Depot API token

`depot sandbox exec-pipe`

Execute a command, then stream standard input from the local process to the remote command.

tar czf - ./src | depot sandbox exec-pipe \
  --sandbox-id <sandbox-id> \
  --session-id <session-id> \
  -- /bin/bash -lc 'tar xzf - -C /workspace'

exec-pipe accepts the same flags as exec.
