What are the system requirements for the Sandbox Manager?

You need Docker Desktop or Docker Engine, Docker Compose v2+, and Python 3.7+ installed and running on your system.

Can I run multiple Ignition sandboxes simultaneously?

Yes, you can manage multiple sandboxes by giving them unique names and assigning different ports using the --port option during creation.

What happens to my data when I teardown a sandbox?

The teardown operation removes the container and cleans up the associated Docker volumes, which deletes the data within that specific sandbox to ensure a clean slate.

Does this skill support Ignition Edge?

Yes, the manager allows you to specify the edition (standard or edge) using the --edition flag when creating a new sandbox.
