Sandbox: hands-on Linux in your browser

Open a real Linux terminal in your browser, type commands, and check every step.

The sandbox is a throwaway Linux container in your browser: a real terminal, the lesson state already set up, and a check after every step. You sign in only to start the terminal, and there is nothing to install.

Lessons

How it works

  • A real terminal

    Not a simulation. A real shell in a container, with sudo and the usual tools.

  • Checked step by step

    Each step has a check that runs in the container and tells you whether it worked.

  • Hints from the knowledge base

    Stuck on a step? Open the matching reference article without leaving the sandbox.

Common questions

Do I need an account?

Reading is free. To run the terminal you sign in, so the sandbox runs under your account.

Do I need to install anything?

No. The terminal runs in the browser against a container on our side.

Is it safe to break things?

Yes. The container is throwaway and has no internet access, and it is deleted when you leave.

How long does a sandbox live?

About 30 minutes, then it is deleted. Open it again to keep going.
