Managing Sandboxes

List all sandboxes

wp rudel list

Output includes the sandbox ID, name, status, template, creation date, and size. Supports multiple output formats:

wp rudel list --format=json
wp rudel list --format=csv
wp rudel list --format=yaml
wp rudel list --format=count

Show sandbox details

wp rudel info my-sandbox-a1b2

Displays detailed information about a specific sandbox:

FieldDescription
idUnique sandbox identifier
nameHuman-readable name
statusCurrent status
templateTemplate used to create it
created_atCreation timestamp
sizeTotal disk usage
db_pathPath to the SQLite database
urlAccess URL
wp_contentPath to wp-content directory

Supports --format=json and --format=yaml for machine-readable output.

Destroy a sandbox

wp rudel destroy my-sandbox-a1b2

This permanently deletes the sandbox directory and all its contents. You will be prompted for confirmation unless you pass --force:

wp rudel destroy my-sandbox-a1b2 --force

There is no undo. If you want to preserve the sandbox state before destroying it, create a snapshot or export first.

Check Rudel status

wp rudel status

Shows overall Rudel configuration and health: whether the bootstrap is installed, the sandboxes directory path, active sandbox count, SQLite integration status, and PHP extension availability.
