Odoo Sandbox

Odoo Sandbox gives you a temporary Odoo instance with your addon installed.
You do not need a local development environment.

Open it at sandbox.iaaaiksu.com.

warning

Do not put real customer data in a sandbox. Every sandbox uses the same login, and every signed-in user can see and open every sandbox.

Step 2: Prepare Your Addon ZIP

Create a ZIP file that contains your addon folder:

my_addon.zip
└── my_addon/
    ├── __init__.py
    └── __manifest__.py

• The ZIP can contain more than one addon. Each addon needs its own folder.
• A full manifest version, such as 20.0.1.0.0, must match the Odoo version that you select.
• The ZIP must also contain any custom addons that your addon depends on.
• Python packages that are not in the Odoo image cause the install to fail.
• Symlinks, encrypted files, and unsafe paths such as .. are rejected.

Step 3: Create a Sandbox

1. Select the Odoo version: 20.0, 19.0, or 18.0.
2. Select the Edition: Enterprise or Community.
3. Click Your addon and choose your ZIP file.
4. Click Create sandbox.

You can have up to 2 sandboxes at a time, and the server allows up to 6 in total. If you reach a limit, delete a sandbox that you no longer need or try again later.

Step 4: Wait Until It Is Ready

Your sandbox appears in the Environments table, and its status updates automatically.

Status	Meaning
Queued	Waiting for its turn. The server runs one job at a time.
Validating	Checking the ZIP and the manifests.
Provisioning	Preparing the database and the Odoo image.
Installing	Installing your addons.
Starting	Starting Odoo.
Ready	Ready to use.
Stopped	Stopped. The data is kept.
Failed	Something went wrong. The error appears under the status.

---

Step 5: Open Odoo

1. Click Open on a sandbox that is Ready.

2. Sign in with these credentials:

   • Email: admin
   • Password: admin

   

3. Test your addon.

Sandboxes have no internet access, so features that call external services do not work.

---

Step 6: Manage Your Sandbox

You can manage only the sandboxes that you created.

Button	What it does
Stop	Stops a Ready sandbox and keeps its data.
Start	Starts a Stopped sandbox again.
Delete	Permanently removes the sandbox and its data.

warning

A sandbox is deleted automatically 2 hours after it first becomes ready. Stopping it does not extend this time, so do not keep work that you need in a sandbox.
