Perform a snapshot action

Dispatches an action via the required ?action= query parameter. restore rolls the snapshot back in place onto its original VM. There is no cross-host restore or restore into a new VM; use the environment fork action for that.

Preconditions are reported as 4xx, not 5xx:

  • 400 invalid_argument — missing or unknown action.
  • 404 not_found — unknown snapshot, or its checkpoint is missing on the provider.
  • 409 conflict — the target VM is not running (e.g. draining), or the snapshot is not in the ready state.
  • 501 unimplemented — the provider has no snapshot support.
POST/v1/snapshots/{snapshotId}
Authorization
AuthorizationBearer token · headerrequired
`Authorization: Bearer <token>` — either the static master token (`ORCH_AUTH_TOKEN`) or a revocable API key issued via /v1/api-keys (API keys require Postgres; without a database only the master token is accepted). Master-only surfaces (exec, attach, API key management) refuse API keys with 403. An expired key is refused with 401 like an unknown one. A key minted with `scopes` reaches only the hitl routes (`/v1/interventions`, `/v1/hitl/*`, and POST /v1/api-keys to mint a narrower key). Any other route is 403 code `forbidden`, reason `env_scope`, except an `/v1/environments/{vmId}` route for an environment the key does not cover, which is 404 so the key cannot probe which environments exist. **Authentication can be disabled entirely.** When neither `ORCH_AUTH_TOKEN` nor an API key store (`DATABASE_URL`) is configured — the default local-development posture — the bearer middleware becomes a pass-through: every operation this document marks as secured is reachable with no credentials, requests carry no principal, and master-only surfaces therefore admit everyone. Never run that configuration on a reachable network; set `ORCH_REQUIRE_AUTH=true` to make the orchestrator refuse to start without a master token.

Stable machine-readable code. `route_not_found` (404) means the URL matches no route this server exposes — usually a wrong host, port, or path prefix — as opposed to `not_found`, where the route exists but the resource does not. `forbidden` is emitted by CIDR-allowlist rejections and by hitl access checks, which set `details.reason` (see the Forbidden response); master-only refusals (exec, attach, listing and revoking API keys) return 403 with code `unauthorized`.

Optional stable, non-sensitive metadata (e.g. ids, counts). Omitted when empty. A 403 `forbidden` from a hitl access check carries `reason` (`missing_scope`, `env_scope`, `self_approval`, `actor_required`, `actor_mismatch`, `actor_not_allowed`, `mint_escalation`, `hitl_denied`), plus `scope` for `missing_scope`, and `gate` and `intervention_id` for `hitl_denied`. A 423 `locked` carries `intervention_id` and `kind` (`takeover` or `stall`).
404Resource does not exist. Note the distinct code `route_not_found`, returned when the URL matches no registered route at all (wrong host, port, or path prefix) rather than a known route with a missing resource.
