It's a really interesting project but it hasn't worked for non-trivial programs for me. I tried to use it on my Raft implementation. Hermit crashed with obscure (to me) error messages. Others have commented on here before, it admittedly doesn't seem to be actively maintained. > Just to let you know we’re not actively working on Hermit in the team https://github.com/facebookexperimental/hermit/issues/34#issuecomment-1949510810 https://github.com/facebookexperimental/hermit/issues/34#iss...

That's been my experience as well. It lacks support for certain clone(2) flags like CLONE_VFORK[1], which limits the set of non-trivial programs it can run, and since running non-trivial programs is most of the point, I haven't revisited it since it was first announced.
