Sandboxes

Sandbox is an offering by Gathr which contains all the features and tools that are required by its users to create and run their code in isolation. Users have a choice to operate on their preferred development environments via Gathr with minimal setup requirements.

Currently, Gathr supports JupyterLab, RStudio and VS Code as the IDEs.

These environments along with their dependencies as chosen can either be setup on bare metal servers. The sandbox environments created with this setup in Gathr are known as non-container-based sandbox.

Or these environments along with their dependencies as chosen can also be encapsulated in a container which can run independently on any Gathr supported container-based infrastructure. The sandbox environments created with this setup in Gathr are known as container-based sandbox.

A sandbox can be created and launched in project. The steps to create a sandbox with each of these approaches and the various actions that can be performed on them are explained further in this topic.
