sandkiln docs

Pick a starting point. Five ways into the same docs, by what you already know you need.

New here Introduction → Self-hosting quickstart → your language: JS/TS, Python, CLI.
Understand a capability Core Concepts — lifecycle, snapshots, naming, drives, images, networking, auth, preview.
Have a specific task Guides — task-oriented, real-code recipes.
Need exact signatures Reference — daemon HTTP API, JS/TS SDK, Python SDK, CLI.
Curious how it's built Internals — one page per mechanism (vsock, the jailer, snapshots, sqlite, rate limiting, and nine more), each with a real request/response captured from the live daemon. Or the shorter Architecture tour first, if you want the map before the terrain.
