Docker OSSFS Volume Mount Example

This example demonstrates how to use the new SDK ossfs volume model to mount Alibaba Cloud OSS into sandboxes on Docker runtime.

What this example covers

1. Basic read-write mount on an OSSFS backend.
2. Cross-sandbox sharing on the same OSSFS backend path.
3. Two mounts, different OSS prefixes via subPath.

Prerequisites

1) Start OpenSandbox server (Docker runtime)

Make sure your server host has:

• Linux host OS (OSSFS backend is not supported when OpenSandbox Server runs on Windows)
• ossfs installed
• FUSE support enabled
• writable local mount root for OSSFS (default storage.ossfs_mount_root=/mnt/ossfs)

storage.ossfs_mount_root is optional if you use the default /mnt/ossfs. Even with on-demand mounting, the runtime still needs a deterministic host-side base directory to place dynamic mounts (<mount_root>/<bucket>/<subPath?>).

Optional config example:

[runtime]
type = "docker"

[storage]
ossfs_mount_root = "/mnt/ossfs"

Then start the server:

opensandbox-server

2) Install Python SDK

uv pip install opensandbox

If your PyPI version does not include OSSFS volume models yet, install from source:

pip install -e sdks/sandbox/python

3) Prepare OSS credentials and target path

export SANDBOX_DOMAIN=localhost:8080
export SANDBOX_API_KEY=your-api-key
export SANDBOX_IMAGE=ubuntu

export OSS_BUCKET=your-bucket
export OSS_ENDPOINT=oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com
export OSS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=your-ak
export OSS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET=your-sk

Run

uv run python examples/docker-ossfs-volume-mount/main.py

Minimal SDK usage snippet

from opensandbox import Sandbox
from opensandbox.models.sandboxes import OSSFS, Volume

sandbox = await Sandbox.create(
    image="ubuntu",
    volumes=[
        Volume(
            name="oss-data",
            ossfs=OSSFS(
                bucket="your-bucket",
                endpoint="oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com",
                # version="2.0",   # optional, default is "2.0"
                accessKeyId="your-ak",
                accessKeySecret="your-sk",
            ),
            mountPath="/mnt/data",
            subPath="train",      # optional
            readOnly=False,       # optional
        )
    ],
)

Notes

• Current implementation supports inline credentials only (accessKeyId/accessKeySecret).
• Mounting is on-demand in Docker runtime (mount-or-reuse), not pre-mounted for all buckets.
• ossfs.version exists in API/SDK with enum "1.0" | "2.0", and defaults to "2.0" when omitted.
• Docker runtime now applies version-specific mount argument encoding:
  • 1.0: mounts via ossfs ... -o <option>.
  • 2.0: mounts via ossfs2 mount ... -c <config-file> where options are written as --<option> config lines.
• options values must be raw payloads without leading - (for example: allow_other, umask=0022).
