Summary

Create a new snapshot from a publicly accessible Docker image, optionally waiting until the snapshot becomes active before returning.

Inputs

  • Name (required) — Unique name for the snapshot within the organization.
  • Image Name (required) — Public Docker image to base the snapshot on.
  • Wait Until Active — Whether to poll until the snapshot is in the "active" state before returning; useful for chaining dependent operations.
  • Wait Timeout (Seconds) — Maximum seconds to wait for the snapshot to become active when waiting is enabled (default 600 seconds).
  • Additional Fields — Optional settings including CPU cores, memory (GB), disk space (GB), entrypoint commands, and the Daytona region to host the snapshot.

Output shape
