Create a sandbox with port 8080 open

This port was used as a controller port, and that has now moved to port 23456.

import { Sandbox } from "@vercel/sandbox";

const sandbox = await Sandbox.create({
  ports: [8080],
});

await sandbox.runCommand({
  cmd: "python3",
  args: ["-m", "http.server", "8080", "--bind", "0.0.0.0"],
  detached: true,
});

console.log(`url: ${sandbox.domain(8080)}`);
