Jakub Dobry b9c4b16baa feat: add template migration to CLI (#880)
## 🔄 Add Template Migration to CLI

### Summary

This PR introduces a new `migrate` command to the E2B CLI that helps
users transition from the legacy Dockerfile + TOML configuration format
to the new Template SDK format. The migration tool automatically
converts existing `e2b.Dockerfile` and `e2b.toml` configurations into
SDK-compatible template files using Handlebars templates.

### What's Changed

####  New Features

- **Template Migration Command**: Added `e2b template migrate` command
for converting legacy configurations to SDK format
- **Multi-Language Support**: Supports migration to TypeScript, Python
(sync), and Python (async) formats
- **Interactive Language Selection**: CLI prompts for target language
when not specified
- **Multi-stage Dockerfile Support**: Added fallback handling for
complex multi-stage Dockerfiles

#### 🔧 Technical Improvements

- **Enhanced ENV Handling**: Improved parsing of multiple environment
variables from single ENV instructions
- **File Name Conflict Resolution**: Automatic unique filename
generation to prevent overwriting existing files
- **Comprehensive Template Generation**: Creates both development and
production build files

#### 📁 New Template Files

- `typescript-template.hbs` - TypeScript template generation
- `typescript-build.hbs` - TypeScript build script template
- `python-template.hbs` - Python template generation (supports both
sync/async)
- `python-build-async.hbs` - Python async build script template
- `python-build-sync.hbs` - Python sync build script template

### Usage

```bash
# Migrate with interactive language selection
e2b template migrate

# Migrate to specific language
e2b template migrate --language typescript
e2b template migrate --language python-sync
e2b template migrate --language python-async

# Custom paths
e2b template migrate --dockerfile custom.dockerfile --config custom.toml
```

### Generated Output

The migration command generates three files per target:
- `template.{ts|py}` - Template definition using SDK
- `build{.|_}dev.{ts|py}` - Development build script
- `build{.|_}prod.{ts|py}` - Production build script

### Migration Process

1. **Parse Configuration**: Reads `e2b.toml` for template settings
2. **Dockerfile Analysis**: Uses E2B SDK to parse Dockerfile
instructions
3. **Transformation**: Converts Docker instructions to SDK method calls
4. **Code Generation**: Uses Handlebars templates to generate target
language files
5. **File Creation**: Writes template and build files with conflict
resolution

### Error Handling

- **Graceful Dockerfile Parsing**: Falls back to custom image reference
for unparseable Dockerfiles
- **Clear User Guidance**: Provides manual build instructions when
automatic conversion fails
- **Validation**: Ensures required configuration files exist before

E2B CLI

This CLI tool allows you to build manager your running E2B sandbox and sandbox templates. Learn more in our documentation.

1. Install the CLI

Using Homebrew (on macOS)

brew install e2b

Using NPM

npm install -g @e2b/cli

2. Authenticate

e2b auth login

Note

To authenticate without the ability to open the browser, provide E2B_ACCESS_TOKEN as an environment variable. You can find your token in Account Settings under the Team selector at e2b.dev/dashboard. Then use the CLI like this: E2B_ACCESS_TOKEN=sk_e2b_... e2b template build.

Important

Note the distinction between E2B_ACCESS_TOKEN and E2B_API_KEY.
