Devin Outposts

createos sandbox setup devin runs an orchestrator on your Mac or Linux machine. Each Devin session gets a sandbox running devin-remote; the orchestrator claims queued sessions and connects their remote tools.

Setup

Install a CLI version with sandbox setup devin, authenticate with createos login, and create a Linux outpost in Devin under Settings → Environment → Outposts. Save the outpost token shown at creation in your local environment.

export DEVIN_API_TOKEN='<outpost-token>'
createos sandbox setup devin --outpost my-outpost --doctor
createos sandbox setup devin --outpost my-outpost

Leave the orchestrator running and select that outpost under Configuration → Virtual environment when starting a Devin session. The Devin API token stays on the orchestrator host; each sandbox receives only its session's connect token.

Configuration

Flag	Default	Environment override
`--outpost`	Required name or ID	—
`--shape`	`s-4vcpu-8gb`	`CREATEOS_DEVIN_SHAPE`
`--rootfs`	`devbox:1`; use a Debian/Ubuntu-based image or template	`CREATEOS_DEVIN_ROOTFS`
`--max-sessions`	`2`; keep within your account's sandbox quota	—
`--delete-paused-after`	`168h` (seven days); `0` disables this cleanup	`CREATEOS_DEVIN_DELETE_PAUSED_AFTER`
`--api-url`	`https://api.devin.ai`	`DEVIN_API_URL`
`--doctor`	Check prerequisites without serving	—

The default shape must be available to your plan. Paused sandboxes still count against the account concurrency cap.

Session lifecycle

Suspending a session pauses its sandbox, preserving disk and memory. Resuming reconnects the session with a new connect token. Termination deletes the sandbox. The orchestrator uses createos.devin/outpost and createos.devin/session labels to rediscover its sandboxes after a restart.

Paused-session cleanup defaults to seven days while the orchestrator is running. Paused sandboxes continue to incur memory and storage charges; stopping the orchestrator is not a substitute for inspecting and cleaning up remaining sandboxes.

See CLI commands, labels, and pause/resume.
