# Unpublish a preview port

> Removes a port from the published set. On a strict `public` sandbox,
the port immediately returns 404 at the edge.

The operation is idempotent and retry-safe. Repeating the request,
including for a port that is already unpublished, re-synchronizes the
host's authoritative published-port set and returns `204`. Retry a
`500` to converge after a transient host update failure. A `404`
means the sandbox itself does not exist.

    ## Sandbox lifecycle


    ```

    active <--> paused --> deleted

    ```


    A sandbox is `active` when running and `paused` after being paused. Resuming

    a paused sandbox returns it to `active`. Deleting releases all resources.


    | Endpoint | What it does |

    |----------|-------------|

    | `POST /sandboxes` | Create a new sandbox (optionally `from_template`) |

    | `PATCH /sandboxes/:id` | Partially update a running sandbox (e.g. network
    rules) |

    | `POST /sandboxes/:id/pause` | Snapshot full state, suspend the VM |

    | `POST /sandboxes/:id/resume` | Restore from snapshot, continue where it
    left off |

    | `DELETE /sandboxes/:id` | Delete sandbox and all resources |


    ## Sandbox environment


    By default sandboxes boot from the curated `superserve/base` template
    (Ubuntu 24.04,

    1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM, 4 GB disk, with Python 3.12, Node.js 22, npm, git, curl,

    and build-essential pre-installed). Callers can override with any template

    name (e.g. `superserve/python-3.11`, `superserve/node-22`) or a team-owned
    template UUID

    via the `from_template` field on `POST /sandboxes`.


    ## Files and commands


    `/files`, `/exec`, and `/exec/stream` run against a single sandbox and use

    its `X-Access-Token` (returned by create, resume, and activate), not the

    team API key. Two host forms reach them:


    - `https://sandbox.superserve.ai/...` with `X-Superserve-Sandbox-Id:
    <sandbox_id>`.

    - `https://boxd-{sandbox_id}.sandbox.superserve.ai/...` — no routing header
    needed.
