- aghilmort 9mo agowe've considered docker, firecracker, will add smol to working roster context <> building something with QEMU * required has to support LMW+AI (linux/mac/windows + android/ios) there are scenarios in which we might spin micro vms inside that main vm, which by default is almost always Debian Linux distro with high probability. one scenario is say ETL vm and AI vm isolated for various things curious why building another microVM other than sheer joy of building, what smol does better or different, why use smol, etc. (microVMs to avoid etc also fair game :)
- jkelleyrtp 9mo agoI needed Mac / win/ Linux / iOS / android for dioxus dev, so I built my own in rust. https://skyvm.dev/ https://skyvm.dev/
- binsquare 9mo agoI focus on different design decisions. Smolvm is designed to run locally, persistent (stateful), long running (efficiency), and interactive. Worked with firecracker and other options a lot btw, most of everything is designed for ephemeral serverless workloads.
